Hon. Paul Leduce Gives Abhe Review (Contirued from Page One) did in the dast year of their regime but only one new tax had been introduced. That was the income tax, which the speaker felt, was a fair tax putting the burden of taxation on those best able to pay. On a man with a moderate inâ€" came of $2.500 annually it meant only $7.50 in taxes. Two taxes had been increased. The amusement tax had been increased at a time when unemployment was rife and men were out of work. That tax had been taken off on June 30 of this 5. Henry himself. While Mr. Leduc was speaking of succession duties and the greater colâ€" lections of the Libsral government a heckler ‘"They must be dying | faster." | Mr. Leduc snapped back an answer, ["Thcy are not dying faster. We are | just collecting from the ones who alâ€" |ready have diedâ€"under the Tory adâ€" ‘ministration." There was noâ€" more heckling. ' The Conservative leader was all for the mines now but Mr. Leduc recalled i‘that he supported Mr. Bennett in the bullion tax, sone of the stupidest taxes ; that ever was imposed, a tax that taxed lraw materials and prevented low grade "ore from being mined." The government was collecting $3,â€" 000,000 more on gasoline tax but that did not mean that the tax been increased. It still was six cents a galâ€" lon. It meant that the people of the province last year bought 50,000 more gallons of gasoline. Similarly, $3,000,â€" 000 more revenue from the sale of autoâ€" mobile licenses meant only that more cars were bought. The same thing apâ€" plied to the liquor board, where savings in the cost of administration and more money spent by the public meant inâ€" creased revenue to the government. The Attorneyâ€"General briefly and clearly explained the increase of one hundred and fifty per cent. in the reâ€" venue from the succession duties tax. An estate of $25,000 was not taxable, he said. Thad last year of the Henry administration $6,515,000 was collected in duties. When Hepburn took office he saw that something was wrong, inâ€" vestigated and appointed a commission to examine several large estates. Counâ€" sel for defence was angry that the govâ€" ernment should impute that such wealâ€" thy and socially prominent people should try to defraud the government, but nevertheless, five or six weeks later the same people came in and gave the government a cheque for $660,000. Mr. Leduc repeated the story, told by Bremier Hepburn, on his visit here two weeks ago, of the wealthy young man who was overheard saying that people did not need to bother with succession duties as long as there were good lawyers in the land. Action was taken against the man. He was found to have defrauded the government of $600,000. Because he deliberately tried to defraud he was charged $@00,000 more, interest at six per cent. was added and a penalty of $10 a day from the time he took the false declaration. The total cost to the man was $1,549,232.49. Mr. Leduc estimated that there was still anything between $50,000.000 and $70,000,000 owing the province from this source. The government roads programme was decided long before there was any talk of an election. It was tentatively decided last year and definitely decided this vear near the end of April. When the Prime Minister was hore he promised a paved road from Cochâ€" rane to North Bay with an extension from Timmins to the Junction. The contract had been awarded, said Mr. Last year the government, along with the Federal government, inaugurated a mine road building programme. . This year, although Federal contributions wers less, the government planned spending $500,000 on it. It expected to spend between $83,000 and $85,000 in south Cochrane. There was fifty to seventy millions to be collected from people who tried to defraud the province. "How many miles of highway can we build with that if you return us to power," asked Mr. Leduc. The reason was to get the mines into greater production so they would be able to employ more men. Mr. Rowe promised to collect sucâ€" | cession duties but how coulid he?

He introduced the first speaker, F. W. Stock, who enumerâ€" ated some of the reforms of the Hepâ€" burn government, later outlined and elaborated upon by the main speaker. "I understand," said Dean Kester, "that Mr. Rowe needs Bartleman. I don‘t doubt that judging from some of his speeches I‘ve heard. However, Rows does not need to worry because he is not going to form a government, |\ Hepburn is going to form the governâ€" ment and Mr. Gallagher is going to be in it.". !â€" _Mr. Kester flayed the Conservative leader for his "wisscracking" remarks Kirkland Lake regarding the Liberal !programme to extend accommodation ‘for the increasing number of mental deficients in the province. It was an alarming situation‘and the government was trying to deal with it. It was ‘hardly in good taste for Mr. Rowe to ljoke about it. "Is that the kind of \leadership the people of the province ‘expect," he asked. Among the promises of the Hepburn government that were kept were five that Mr. Leduc enumerated. The government promised and later assumed the whole cost of building and maintaining highwa‘ys; the full cost of Mothers‘ Allowances; the full cost of pensions not paid by the Federal govâ€" ernment hnd the extension of the Mothers‘ Allowance to widows with one child. In addition the governim:nt passed over $3,000,000 to municipalities in the form of one mill on the tax rate. The coâ€"operation of the Libsral Federal and provincial governments made possible pensions for the blind. Mr. Kester dealt with a slogan used in Conservative advertising. ‘"You can trust Rowe,‘ the advertsements say. I am not going to say whether or not you can trust Rowe. He has no record. But, from the records I know that you can trust Hephbhurn and the Liberals of Onâ€" tario." Mr. Gallagher, the candidate, was roads. When Hepburn took over the treasury there was nothing in it. Howâ€" ever, in his first year in the government he widened the road from here to South He had no money to hard surface it, however, and took the stand that roads would ncot be built if they could not be paid for.

Ordway, consulting enginâ€" eer of Triple Lake Porcupine Gold Mines, McArthur township, Porcupine area, reports that diamond drilling fr.m the bottom of its shaft, has cut other zone of enrichment, resembling that encsunt>red while originally sinkâ€" ing its shaft on its main vein, only a few feet below the present terminus of the shaft. In the opinion of Mr. Ordâ€" way, this zone can be reached with two additional rounds. It is the belief of this authority that this zone is arother section of the comâ€" pany‘s main vein, which, after crossâ€" ing the shaft above the 55â€"ft. level, has bulged out, at a point under that level, in such a way as to carry a portion of its deposition back into the projected line of the shaft. This shaft, which was recently deâ€" watered, reco‘lared and retimbered, is being sunk to an immediate objective of[ 325 ft., it is stated, in accordance with the recommendations of Hamlin B. Hatch, geologist and engineer, who made a complete survey and report on the Triple Lake property, last Januâ€" ary, in which he suggested this operaâ€" ticn,. together with 1,000 ft. of drifting in both directions on the 300â€"ft. level ard also 1,000 feet of additional diaâ€" mond dr:lling from the drift, to locate parelleling veins.

Jack MacLeod, who engineered the sinking of the shaft on the Albany River Mineées proâ€" perty,. is in charge of the Triple Lake‘s shaft sinking operailion. A mining plant and buildings are erected cn the property and have a replacable value on $25,000. The cost of the work recommended by Mr. Hatch is estimated to ‘be approximately $32,â€" The size of the property in acres‘ is no indication of the potential worth cf a mining stock. While the combined acreage of Lake Shore, Wright Harâ€" greaves and Buffalo Ankerite does not exceed 500 acres, most of the junior golds have property holding in excess of 800 acres.

He bought a team of dogs when he judged that he had made enosugh money to set out for the gold area. and for a while he brought food supplies, etc., to the miners, earning a good deal in this manner. (Here Mr. Mahoney showed pictures of the dogs he had, and "The Yukon Symphony Orchestra," whith was a group of dogs). He also showed a film of Robert Service‘s cabin, the famous author havyâ€" ing been a great friend of the speaker, and quoted a poem the author had written to this cabin when he had left for the war.:! The next job the speaker had was carrying mail from Nome. By means of films, Mr. Mahoney showed the way in which he had to protect himself from blizzards on the trail. He would build a snow house, similar to the eski mo‘s igloo, and here he would have to stay until such time as. the storm abated. He showed films of the eskiâ€" mos, their homes, their way of living, their races and sports. At this time, Judge Hume. an Ameriâ€" can citizen, died at the Yukon and his body was to be sent to his home for| burial. Mr. Mahoney was given the reâ€"| sponsibility of taking the body to a| northern outpost from which it would be taken to a ship. He and his dogs | after having spent countless days and; nights in the snowy Arctic regions, with | wolves following them, ready to atâ€"| tack as soon as one was off guard, with very little food, and no humans for miles and miles, finally stumbled intol the northern depot, where great reâ€" joicing greeted their appearance. He | was presented with a $10,000 purse as reward for his bravery and courage in coming through that lonely strebch.' But before he reached this northerni depot "some enterprising reporter‘" had written up an account of his death and, said Mr. Mahoney, "it was a novell experience to read about your own l When he next roturned to the gold fieilds, it was with the intention of striking a Cclaim. This he did, and, Lady Fortune smiling on him once more,. it was a rich strike,. and he was able to return home after "making good." And so ended Mr. Mahoney‘s story, to the great displeasure of all who were present, and who would have listened to the story all over again. ~Toâ€"day‘s Stocks < A dance took un the remainder of the evening. and a delightful time was had by evervone who attended. 4 (Continued from Page One) Listed 13 1.00 I1.3"7 39.00 2.18 51.00 4.05 42 2 .07 11‘ 8â€"00 1.20 2.05 4.15 4.85 1.30 1.05 4.85 3.80 1.0L 2.16 3.10 27 80 1.40 45 1.80 2,85 3.00 4.85 2.05 6.85 6,50 15 1.05 3.20 Amongst other speakers was the Hon. Wesley Gordon, former Dominion minister of mines and immigration, who received a great ovation and who deâ€" voted himself at length to the Hepâ€" burn government‘s policy on timber resources. R. W. Crumb, Iroquois Falls, presiâ€" dent â€" of ~the International Paper Makers‘ Union there ,.spoke from the Ipoim of view of the union man in supâ€" port of Mr. Rowe, and in criticism of the Hepburn government. Talked Northern Road As far as the mining country was concerned, Mr. Rowe first mentioned roads, remarking that the prophecy be made early in the year that hundâ€" reds of men would be working on the roads prior to the election had been lfulfilled, and referred to the $5 cut on car licenses as a direct bribe. He pledged himseif to building the Ferâ€" gussn Highway as a modern one throughout its length. He voiced the hops of being able to encourage agriâ€" culture in the clay belts of the mining country, and stressed his appreciation of the great importance of the mining country as a market for the products of the rest of Ontario. He had in the past ’few weeks, he said, visited more mines than Mr. Hepburn and his cabinet in @ll their term of office. Bartleman QOutlines Plans ’ Mr.: Bartleman, commenting on the \development of Teck township since !the days when he first saw it as the ‘locale of the Toughâ€"Oakes mine, statâ€" !ed that it was regrettable that the burâ€" ! den of taxation on its residents was so |great, owing to the lion‘s share of that ‘taxation taken by the Dominion and { provincial governments. A measure, he added, from the proâ€" visions of which there was no appeal. Paying tribute to the work of the | prespector, he promised a square deal |both to him and the mining promoter â€"as fair a deal as to the man sitting "in an airâ€"conditioned office." | _ He asked why it was that under Mr. fHep?bum's administration the mine owner had to pay eight or nine per |cert. instead of five, and yet the proâ€" ‘ tection was not given to the men. ! Bars Tax Income i e stated that he was definitely opâ€" po~ed to crippling the mining industry by increased taxation. Without direct reference to mining |labor,. he also dwelt at some length on the Oshawa strike situation, and the ‘premier‘s forcing of an "army of Mounted Police" on Mayor Hall, who said that they were not needed for citiâ€" lzens of the town. To Mr. Hepburn‘s "interference" he attributed prolongaâ€" 'tlon of the strike in the motor city by ten days. He also referred to the threat made lby Mr. Hepburn‘s friends to close the mines in the north in the event of furâ€" ther iabor trouble. Recalling the preâ€" mier‘s promise to jail John L. Lewis if he tame to the province and caused ‘bloodshed, Mr. Rowe said that if he came to power he would do the same thing, and "if Mr. Hepburn got sore over the election ard caused bloodshed. would put them in the same cell." It was a lengthy meeting, but one in which there was no heckling, barring cne or two interjections, and at which those present gave a very attentive hearing. Chairman of the occasion was G. D. O‘Meara. Kirkland Lake, Sep:t. 1l7th, 1937. (Special to The Advance.)â€"A packed house at the Strand Steatre and the unseen audience of the radio last night heard the Hon. Earl Rowe leader of the: Conservative party, and Mayor James P. Bartleman, of Timmins, the former in a detailed accounting of his election*® platform, the latter in a concise summary of that platform and his own intentions as far as they conâ€" cerned the mining element of the conâ€" stitueney. Rowe and Bartleman Speak at Kirkland Attitude and Policies Outâ€" lined to Large Audience. The candidate also pledged himself in favor of miners choosing their own doctaors and hospitals, and having apâ€" peal on compensation cases through their own representative. Criticises Godfrey Regime Criticizing the administration and changing of the Securities Act, originâ€" ally a Conservative measure, by John Godfrey, securities commissioner, Mr. Rowe promised if elected to see to it that the prospector got something more out of a discsvery than a period of waiting before financing and then a third interest held in escrow until the remaining twoâ€"thirds was taken over by a broker. Mr. Hepburn, he said, boasted from one side of the country to the other of his returning one mill on the taxes to the municipalities, which, in the case of northern municipalities, fell far short of what his government had taken out of them in three years. .He pointed to the fact that Mothers‘ Allowance was only $20 in the north as against $30 in the south, although living costs here were overâ€"30 per cent. To the settlers he promised every effort, if elected,. to have roads built and maintained, and land cleared, and went on to say that there was one act on the statute books which needed drastic amendment. He referred to the fiveâ€"year clause for compensation for silicosis. and said that he was also in favor of compensation for tuberculosis arising from silicosis. Dr. J. B. McClinton, of Timmins, preâ€" sident of the Conservative Association of South Cochrane, was the first speakâ€" er. and briefly referred to the imporâ€" tance of the riding, comprising as it did the elements of mining, timber reâ€" sources, established agriculture and settleéement. Mr. Crumb, the next speaker, disâ€" cussed labor aspects of the Conserâ€" vative policy at some length. Councillor Leslie Hornick, president In his address, whith ¢overed a very wide range, ‘Mr. Rowe, following up Mr. Gordon‘s theme, declaredâ€" that his party stood for retrieving the resources of the ‘to build factories in Ontario rather than to build fortunes for millionaires in the United States. Charging Mr. Hepbhurn with failing to fulfill the promises which he made to the North in 1934, the Conservative legder declared himself more interestâ€" ed in finding jobs for every man than in showinz reduced budgets as safeâ€" euards for the millionaires of Bay The death coccurred on Thursday, September 16th, at the St â€"Mary‘s hosâ€" pital, of Joseph Vajdetic.

Claiming that of the $26,000,000â€"colâ€" lected in a yvear from gas and motor vehicle taxes only $4,000,000 had been spent on roads, Mr. Rowe remarked that it was more than unfair to hire men for road work just before an elecâ€" tion to discharge them if victorious: Throw Patrohage~â€"Outâ€"â€"â€"*~â€"« Mr. Hepburn‘s talk on the collection of succession duties and of maintaining law and order, which, he said, the Preâ€" mier set forth as platform planks, was a mere reference to the fulfillment of duties which were obligatory. He proâ€" mised that if elected ‘he would collect $60,000 which had been due from an estate for three years‘ of Mr. Hepburn‘s regime, and derided <the constantly growing estimate of what.could be, colâ€" lected. which increased by millions as the campaign wore on, He also charged that there was a member of the cabinet who owed the province over $50,000 in Crown dues. Funeral of Sevenâ€" Y earâ€"Old Son of Mr. and Mrs. V ajdetic The fureral was ‘held on Sunday, from the Croation hall in Schumacher to St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic church. Rev. Fr. Martindale conducted the services, and interment was in the Timmins cemetery. "After Octtber 6," he said, â€" "we‘ll throw all this patronage aside." He attacked Mr. Hephburn‘s budgetâ€" cutting as a result in severely reduced services to the ordinary people of the proavince, a :condition which had, he declared, led to pan‘c¢ in the recent epiâ€" demic. and went on to pledge himself to the reâ€"establishment of medical and cther necessary services . throughout the province.
