Issued by Onxtario Liberal Association 4 y# ue P ve. )* s In the year ending March 31, 1937, the Hepburn Government showed a gross debt reduction of $33,098,165.39 â€" the first gross debt reduction in thirty years. Where the Revenue Dollar Goes In the last year of the discredited Henry gang, 42.62 cents out of every dollar of revenue were used for fixed charges on public debt. That left only 57.38 cents out of every dollar of revenue to meet current expenses â€"education, road maintenâ€" ance and other public services. Imagine a wage earner having to take nearly half his daily wage to pay the "interest" on his debts! Today â€"under the Hepburn Administrationâ€"only 25.5 cents out of every dollar of revenue are required to meet fixed charges, leaving 74.5 cents for your public services. Mr. Hepburn promised sound business management for the Province; Mr. Hepburn has kept his promise. deficit. For the year 1936â€"37, the Hepburn Government achieved a surplus of over $9,000,000. That surplus is being passed on to you in the form of reduced taxes IMMEDIATELY. Sound management, hard work and a strict "pay as you go" policy has turned former deficits into that substantial surplus. Furthermore, entire Government departments had to be cleaned out to make possible economy of government. All this Mr. Hepburn promised. All this Mr. Hepburn carried out. Now he promises more sunshine budgets, more surpluses to be passed on to you in the form of reduced taxes. Carry On, Hepburn!

She was promptly taken by airâ€" plane to Port Arthur and word from No notification of the postponement of the District of Cochrane fall assizes has ‘been received by the Crown Atâ€" torney‘s office here. ‘The assizes at Haileybury have been postponed and there is some talk of having those for Cochrane postponed but so far no ofâ€" ficial action has ‘been ‘taken. They will be held. as far as officials know, on October 5. The reason for asking for the postponement of the Assizes is to prevent a number of witnesses, jurâ€" ors, lawyers and others concerned losâ€" ing the opportunity to vote at the election. On account of a case of infantile paralysis developing at Long Lac, the school there was closed as a precaution and will not be reâ€"opened until it is considered that the danger is past. This was the first case Oof the disease at this Northern mining camp, which is 150 miles northwest of Port Arthur. It is interesting to note that the Northâ€" ern mining towns have all escaped serâ€" ious cases of the disease, despite the amount of travel to these towns and the latter city says that she is much improved and apparently has good chance to recover without serious conâ€" sequences from the disease.
