people In of temper ance and prohibition There are municipalities In Ontario Of these or per cent have no licenses of any kind municipalities only end not more than two licenses are Issued In municipalities or per cent either no tavern license la issued or not more than two while in or per cent no shop licenses are issued An other proof is found in the fact that com mitments for drunkenness last year were while twenty years ago with far leas population the commitments for this cause numbered The sentiment of the age is now against drunkenness Because Hoc J Davie was elected a vicepresident of a financial that recently failed in Toronto the Hail com ments Wo hold that in ac cordance with precedent and in interests of the Province Mr Davie ought to have withdrawn from public life The Hail has become exceedingly sensitive British precedent and provincial interests but while his patron saint the late Sir John A wee connected with Institutions of a similar character our was not particularly too bled Id that way and when the Scandal was he waited until the people from Treasury Benches and even then did not withdraw from public life precedent didnt coons worth a cent then and in later day when the ConoMck etc all were held up to public condemnation for all British precedent the Joggjd along without any qualms of- beautiful illustration of the whose ox was gored But more singular a till the next day when a notice was sent to that journal by frjkun9fon I the financial manager elating J Davis who was company that iJ r is over and parlia ment has and pcoplo of Province have now an opportunity to decide end soon must decide on tho great question before them It is not necessary for mo to say in this place that a voter in casting his is exercising the highest and noblest right of a British subject for by that means ho became and remains a free man And it is not necessary for me to point out that a Government of a country is the citizens of that country and executive governors arc the servants of voters of Province Accordingly now two parties two seta of servants asking from tho people of Ontario their support As to the men who are mainstay of those two parties I will not say a word No has ever said that the personnel of the compared at all with that of the which has ruled destinies of this great Province during the last score of years No would ever expect then that on the ground of incom petence any honest and intelligent elector would think of turning the present administrators out I will consider accordingly a few of issues which come before the people Without a doubt most impor tant question for the people of On tario is the question of finances There was this very year an excess of revenue over expenditure of There is a surplus today of assets over liabilities of which is ex clusive of many items which generally are added to such statements Dur ing the regime of this Government more than million dollars have been paid out to the counties Can the country be going behind with such a surplus Can the assets be Incom ing depleted when they yield such a revenue On December 14th two treasurers in the two largest provinces in Canada delivered the financial statements I would have these two compared Hon Mr of of Quebec thus began his speech I have some hesitation in rising for the purpose of showing to this House the financial position of our Province This situation I regret to say ia not what it should be and in order to put it on a sound basis I shall be obliged to have recourse to extreme measures which I will hesitate toadopt and for the carrying out of which I rely upon the good will and support of the mem bers For a long period ever since Con federation the people of this Province and its Government have accustomed themselves to look upon its resources as inexhaustible The consequence has been an era of prodigality during which the Legislature with the view of encouraging improvements and local undertakings of all kinds has pro- voted away the public moneys in subsidies This policy has resulted in annual deficits and the accumula tion of a public debt payment of the interest whereof already absorbs a considerable portion of our ordinary revenues Hon Mr said The Province of Ontario stands alone in this regard of no deficits Over and above its every obligation it lias mil lions of dollars to the good it is regu larly in receipt of large sums of money representing interest on its invested funds j it will have a clear surplus on this years transactions of The Province has year by year greatly extended its business opera tions and divers lines of pub lic usefulness establishing at one time a Provincial Board of Health- at an- other a Bureau of Mines and later a Bureau of Forestry aiding raining ehools and dairy schools in tho east and west and north con stantly initiating different branches and services each of them helpful to the pursuit of agriculture providing in a systematic way through paid officials for preservation of game and fish setting aside largo of forest for purposes of public parks founding a de partment for the of waifs and neglected children taking measures improving tho condition of our and highways all of which Of necessitate increased and annual expenditure And all this and much more Air has been without turn ing any time a deaf ear to any meritorious plea for public aid or neglecting in any way old and time honored services which from its earliest days the Province has so lib erally aided and encouraged to policy regarding revenue between the two pat tics is one of direct taxation and the pre- sent system The Opposition oppose license system succession duties and Crown Lands Revenue If these were removed direct taxation must- tho consequences But the policy of two Govern ments differs in other respects and I must most briefly mention them Hero is difference in the timber policy Both parties say that timber must be made lumber in The Liberals say wo have mi agreement with license holder which lasts until next May Wo cannot im pose that manufacture clause until May without breaking faith and be ing dishonest The Conservatives say bo dishonest or break faith or do any thing but impose it now railway policy is much the same Both parties say that while tho United States has an alien labor law no province aided railway should employ Americans as laborers in con the road The Conserva tives say not only all Americans but all foreigners should be excluded and thus this country which needs more thnn anything else population and which is seeking immigration in all quarters should shut out desirable im migration In other subjects the followers of Mr Whitney find no fault with the Government A large number of Government measures such as tho Mining Bill the Reforestry Bill Registration Bill and a dozen others met with no opposition The Conservatives went out after scandal and spent an entire session in the Public Accounts talking about a piggery out of which nothing ever came except the proof of the littleness of the prime investigator The Conservatives talked about a school book issue and said many school are too costly and royalties should not be paid to authors Three very estimable and independent men investigated and reported a couple of weeks ago They said the hooks were as cheap as could be and could not be replaced by Irish readers and that the royalty system is the very best Every alleged scandal was exploded The secret interview was made public and now is in print The tran sactions of the Moore Lumber Co are public property and the piggery issue is as dead as the member who gained notoriety through it So here are a few matters to con sider The Conservatives made suggestions no motions and as not a complaint can be made against our present servauts what claim has the Conservative party to replace them ah a gets an begin with in time can Ayerb This others MAIN STRE Next time
