PROVINCIAL FINANCES
Premier Hepburn, who is also Pro-
vincial Treastreera-tom -Tuesday dell'-
ered hie first budget speech in the Leg-
islature. The statement which be pre-
sented showed the Provincial dunces
to be In anything but • satisfactory
condition, but he declared his deter-
mination to balance the budget in tbe
coming year.
The deficit for the year ended Oe
tober 31, 1934, he found to be
130,599,2.19, with a further defieit of
$7,449,000 for the five months ended
Marek 31, 1933.
The Province's telt ' debt to now

than $14:000,(0 was incurred In four
years under the Henry Administration.
Mr. Hepburn charged that the Hen-
ry Government had juggled with fig-
ures to show a better financial situa-
tion than in reality existed, and be
declared that from now ou the people
et Ontario would be allowed VAL know,
exactly how the finances stood.
Owing to the uncertainty as h. what
legislation the Federal Goverement
will enact at the present session, an
autumn session of the legislature will
be necessary, Mr. Hepburn stated, in
order to bring in tluaucial measures!

(Toronto Star) ....._ The Canadian MihIater of Tiaalte•
Id In hla budget speech that ''reduc-
tion in taxation can only be Justified
when it is asaoeated with a fully bal-
anced budget accompanied by a reduc-
tion, however gradual, In tbe national
debt." In a great measure that Is
true. Yet 1t is also true that some
forms of taxation, notably materna du-
des, tend, when high, to make a bud-
get harder, not easier, to balance, be-
cause tbeJ rretrict the trade on whkb
they are levied. In Canada, for ex-
ample, these duties were higher In
1931-33 than in 11130-31, yet produced
In the latter year only 1177,300,000,
comparted with 11:11,200,000 in the

The ultimate solution of tbe world's

in the resumption of world trade. with
a consequent world-wide distribution
