Golding, of Huron. ' • , For the last' 35 • years the tax which yielded $1,400,000 last year, has been imposed by cabinet pr- -der.

B. Bennett as Prime Minister, I heard the Liberals dur- ing all those years denounce Gov- ernment by order in council in very strong, terms, and later -I heard the Conservatives and other opposition members denounce orders in coun- cil.
