Irvin, Funeral expenses"for 'jpODAY you have reason to rejoice that you voted Henry out and Hepburn in. The Hepburn administra­ tion has replaced mismanagement with good manage­ ment, extravagance with economy. It has replaced, the unbalanced budget with a balanced budget, changed the chronic yearly deficit to a surplus of oVer 9 million dol­ lars. It has relieved the drain and strain on taxpayers’ pocketbooks in many ways. In the year that ended ' March 31st, 1937, it reduced Ontario’s gross debt by $33,098,165.39. 6 Entire cost of Mothers’ Allowances was assumed by the Province, a saving to the Municipal Taxpayers of over $2,100,000 a year. 7 Municipalities’ share of Old Age Pensions was taken over by the Province, saving over $1,000,000 a year. Payment of Pensions to the Blind of $300,000. 9 Abolition of the Students’ examination fees of $170,000 is another worth-while saving that Mothers and Fathers appreciate. You Have Profited by Hepburn’s Policies 1 Grant, equal to one mill on the dollar, from the Prov­ ince to every Municipality, has relieved Municipal taxpayers to the extent of $3,000,000. W Rates for Hydro-Electric Power have been reduced to users to the extent of $4,800,000. UThe Hepburn Government paid relief charges out of current revenue instead of adding them to the Public Debt to be paid for by increased taxes in the future, as was the policy of the former Government. 2 Cancellation of the amusement tax will save patrons of the theatre, sports and other amusements $3,000,000 a year. Ontario is granting a $5 reduction in Motor Car rates that Will save motorists $2,500,000 a year. ' • z 4 The Province has^ cancelled the 20 per cent, levy for­ merly made upon the Counties toward the Cost of King’s Highways, a saving to Municipalities of over $2,700,000 to date, and a further saving this year of $2,000,000. 4 Township Road subsidy was increased to 50 per cent., a saving to townships of $400,000 per year. More Sunshine Budgets On October 6th, you will have the opportunity of show­ ing Mitchell F. Hepburn how much you appreciate his handling of the Province’s finances and the administra­ tion of its government. Mark your ballot for the Liberal Candidate in your constituency and work to elect him by a safe majority. That’s the way to show Mr. Hepburn you want him to "Carry On” with his program of tax reductions. He promises another "Sunshine Budget” this year—and you know he keeps his promises. Be kind to your own pocketbook-—Vote Liberal. FI F.C.T ROBERTSON FOR HURON Oscar Weiler $60.00; Philip Harding, Cutting weeds in Cemetery on 9th Cpn. $2,40; T. A.
