It will exceed this amount probably as the balance of the year has been conservatively calculated. For example. it is now apparent that, barring earthquakes. war or other like contingencies. the gross national production will be around halfta billion more than the 15 bil- lion we calculated. Our revenue from the surrendering of our in- come and corporation taxes to the Dominion Government will there- fore be much higher. ‘ Current Surplus "The surplus in the current year as stated la within $100,000 of the sum of all surpluses since 1873, and, when finally determined. may well equal it. The exact figures will be tabled at the next session of the Legislature. The surplus of the last iwo years is nearly a million dol- srs. l “It may be said that the amount is far in excess of what I estimated last year. It is much farther in ex- cess of what my predecessor esti- mated when he relinquished the office of Treasurer a few days be- ago. I hope lf I make a mistake this year in my estimates, the sur- plus predicted will be too low. “The surplus was achieved de- spite the payment of $78,000 as a bonus to civil servants. In the eati- mates a sum sufficient is provided in case the cost of living index remains high. "Another unforseen factor was the expense of implementing the henlth- program. If advantage with- in the present fiscal year of the of- fers of the Federal Government was to be taken then some $150,000 had to be provided, and this was done. There is no record in last year's public ta of supplements-lo; under this heading. “Another unforseen expense was the very considerable costs of the the c0st_of potato warehouses was not obtained from the Edda!

The ap- propriation machine was not in operation previous to April 1st. 1M8. Ottawa Agreements . "Previous to i041 the grant from Ottawa was $047,000. Then a five year agreement was made 01.100000 yearly by surrenderim our rights to Ottawa to collect 1n- cclme and corporation taxes. Than a further arrangement beginning Aipril 1. 104d, came into effect which gave us $2,100,000 yearly plus an amount geared to gross national production which vlss cs- timated that year at 885.000- "I well remember remarks ln this House over our optimism when the sum of 82.106000 was l>l'°dic°ed~ This year our estimate la 02,602,000 from this source and I suspect I om under the figure which will soon be declared. It is quite prob- v able that the gross national PTO- ductlon will be higher in the ccm- ing year. "Ihoae who have been emlfllll- lzlng the wonderful work of former missions to Ottawa, had better note what recent politicians have ac- oompilshed and the fair methods applied by the ‘present Federal Government. If more can be se- cured in 1051i this is the Govern- ment to present the argument! 811d the present Government at Ottawa is the one to consider the srsll- ments. “It is imperative that expend- itures will increase yearly. Twen- ty-flvo years ago a budget of one million or less was the order of the day; today it is around time: as much. Fifi-y years 8B0 the budget was about fourth sa much and yet there were , ° deficits. A Province is not prop- erly financed by blldsetilur in I manner distinctly different from the other Provinces.

"Ilhe gross funded debt» u st March s1. 104B was 310910.000. The net funded dM as at March 31. 1040 was 00,108,001. the unfunded debt 02.824300, leaving a total debt of 010,005,047.

But Quebec figures are dif- ficult to analyse as I note a 157 million dollar loan to Ind/ustry which apparently is not reckoned, and apparently contingent ,1IBib1uT- les are not reckoned. In New Bruns- wick the debt per capita. is $234.25, In Nova Scot-la. $179.17 and Sask- atchewan $181.53. These figures are made without counting contingent liabilities. "Then the federal debt of Con- ada approximates $1,250 per oapita and 0f the United States $1,800. "Since I became Prwnier and be- fore it for some time. our sinking funds have been the highest in Canada.

Unncecnary Services "lf We chose to live as many people in Europe live. or as our grandfathers lived we could do without many services we now have.

This, he charged. was bell-lg done so that the veter- nns would put in low tenders and eke out their livelihood with their pensions. Farmers Taxes Mr. McLure charged that Prince Edward Island farmers were "be- ing hounded by inspectors of the Income Tax Department," in a way which was giving great con- cern to people of the entire Prov- ince. It was most unfortunate that the department had resorted to thehir- lng of "large numbers of snoopers to spy on the farmer and bully §noney cut of him." Prince Edward sland farmers, he said. were ready to pay reasonable taxes, but they did object to the burden of filling out extra forms and to the manner in which the tax was being col- lected. onrosmoL Continued from page 1 were shown at $1,824,000. ‘Ilhe only thing we are concerned about ls the debt! Replying to criticism of Conser- vative debt increases, Dir. McoMil- lan pointed out that these ex- penditures included building of a new Prince of Wales Collage, a new pavilion at Faloonwood. the Charlottetown-Borden highway and the purchase of the Sims build- ing. “We bought that building for $10,000 and my hon. friend rents it now for nearly 83.600 a year. Wasn't that a good bargain?" he asked. . H: warned the Premier not: to try to hoodwink" the people of this Province, "because some of them are just as bright as he is, although he doesn't appear to think so." The Opposition leader described as "ridiculous" the Premier's at- tempt to credit the Dominion Gov- ernment with $14,000,000 expendi- tures in this Province. "He does not tell us What Saskatchewan got at the same time; that the Federal Government Wlpedbllt a debt of $40.000,000 for Saskatchewan-plus interest-with one scratch of the pen. I might ask him, what did they take from us while they were giving us that $14,000,000? Figures were submitted in this House dur- ing the period of the wartime tax agreement, showing that for every dollar the Dominion Government gave us they took back two or three." - - Dr. MacMillan referred to the Government's recently appointed Director of Transport, who, a few years ago, had prepared an esti- mate showimz that the Dominion Government‘ is taking about $16.- 000,000 from this Province every year; "and there was a whole lot that he couldn't estimate because it was indirect taxes." Four Millions Needed In the negotiations leading up to the last Dominion-Provincial agree- ment, this Province needed four million dollars annually. "They would have been glad to settle for three millions, but they were for- ccd to tnko 52,100,000." Dr. MacMillan recalled that the Minister of Highways had sought to obtain $125,000 damages from the Dominion for damages to the West- ern Road during the‘ time the Air Force w... operating at Mt. Pleas- ant. "They would only give him $80,000. Thnt is how generous the Dominion Government is to us. Anti you all know what. happened after our second car ferry was sunk!" During the years of uniting for the new ferry. Dr. MncMillnn re-, called that the Premier had said this: Province was losing a million dollars on account of poor trans- portation facilities.

The dq- ifl-iled expenditures were not given. as they are in the New Brunswick report which he held in his hand. "Hasn't the public of this Pro- vince o rlsht to know where that money went?" he asked. Hon. Mr. Barbour: “You have all the names of those accounts on your desks now. It was put there today."
