to toronto next morning and if it would be all right for him to take a small brown calf with him said animal was to be in a crate in opposition to the farmers voice was the rurrtble of the motor and scottie believed tho farmer said he wished to take a cat with him sure that will bo all right said scottio but 10 when the bus reach ed tho spot again next morning en- route to tho city there stood the farmer beside a large crato in which tho calf was penned as the bus company has no charter or license for carrying live stock of this nature scottio had to gracefully decline the job the irrate farmer said but you cant refuse to take the calf now you told me last night youd take it no amount of explanation could appease the irritated chap who wag interested in calves and not cats bus drivers

statements known as the public accounts the total amount spent by the government on ordinary account as shown by those five statements is 27781288450 this is tho cost of carrying on the affairs of the province and was paid out of taxes levied from the people of the province this means 8100 for each person in ontario or taking the average family of four a contribution of 32400 from each family in taxes for carrying on the provincial business this entitles us to ask the question has the henry government made you rich but this is not all the same five state- ments show that the government has spent on capital expenditure the sum of 12812023669 this has been added to the debt of the province which now stands at 59200000000 or as large a debt as was owed by the whole dominion of canada in 1914 this increase in debt has to be paid by us and those who come after us the debt now stands as a charge of 17000 for each person in ontario or taking the average family of four a debt of 68000 against each family in the province this entitles us to ask the question has the henry government made you rich during the ten year period since the present government took office there have been deficits totalling in all 1359735351 this of course was added to the provincial debt this is our financial situation today are we going to return to power a government which has left us in this position if you wish this to continue vote for my opponents if you wish this extravagance and in crease of debt to cease vote for me i stand pledged to a reduction in taxation and expenditure to a re
