The outstand- ing .feature of Drury s policy then` had been the elimination of extravagance and Hon. Mr. Fergusonproceeded to point out wherein he had `failed to adhere to this policy. The annual `cost of government had i been increased from 19 millions to 38 mil- ` lions in his three-and-a-half years. He had 1 increased the old methods of taxation, had im-plemented fifteen new taxes, and "had exhausted the Provincial field of taxation so that heihad to go to the municipal field. Enumerating several new methmk he said, In all these extreme and absurd ways,` the present Government has devised these ways to meet its extravagance. Increased Debt The debt ofthe Province had increased from 97 to 243 millions during Drury e regime; but it was only fair to say -that it was not all non-revenue producing debt, 43 millions having been spent on Hydro and 23 on T. & -N.O. railway, which were CIRCULATION` THIS WEEK % lsxvcu.

The Drury Government came into power on` an economyplank but when `they had _ left there was a decit in current expendi- tures of six millions. s erals in the north were standing with him.

Temperance Stand What grounds have my opponents for saying `Ferguson is wet ? asked the speak- er. Answering the question he said, The Conservative was the only Government that ` did anything for temperance. Regarding his policy on the O.T.A. he said, You put it there; it must stay until you say it shall i be removed.
