Conscious of our shortcomings, and grateful for the opportunities we have had to serve our Province, we: submit our record with confidence to the electors for their consideration and approval, and askfrom a united people a mandate to carry on the Government of this Province, WAR WORK Ontario gave in men 232,895; in contributions $54,53,155; to Victory loans $540,465,550. On- tario provided 50 per cent. of Canada's war effort. T li e Ontario Government- spent in war work over $10.000.000; maintained in linglaud the most efficient military Hospital in 'Europe; furn- ished club louses for the soldiers in London and Paris made gift; of food and guns to the 'Mother Country; inade large grants to the British Red' Cross,- Ileiginni: Serbian relief and other worthy patriotic objects. On- tario's war effort has made the name - of On- tario . resound in every corner of the world. FINANCE In 1904 the income of Ontario was $4,464,000; "in -1913 it was $11,183,- 302; in 1913 it was $19,- 270,123. This has bean accomplished without re- sorting to direct taxation —apart from the war tax, which has been repealed. Out of this revenue the Government has returned to the people in larger grants, $3,807,000 for hducation; $1,676,235 for Agriculture. The public services have been en- larged and ample grants have enabled important public 'duties to be under- taken. EDUCATION Ontario's educational system is designed to provide the most efficient training possible for the hays and girls who are to 1 ;.,rte the future rrns of the trate. Un,:- r the leadership of the Atitti,.er of Education no expri,il'ture has been de- nied. to acc.u,i;l:'h this purptee. e 4ernns grants have teen . •..le for seri- ' cultural, tcch,,ica1 and locational training; re- turned soldiers are en- couraged to enter the t e a c h i'n g profession; teachers' salaries have been raised and a super- annuation scheme 'inaug- urated. This year nearly $4,000,000 will be spent on education in Ontario, HIGHWAYS Good roads add wealth and comfort to rural life. The highway improve- ment programme of the Ontario Government is applied to both urban and rural districts. A corn• plete system of roads, in- eluding provincial roads, provincial county roads, county roads and town- ship roads with a mileage of 12,500 miles, has been worked out and will be constructed. The entire motor license revenue, with a large amountadd- ed will be -spent annually on this work. HYDRO -ELECTRIC hydro is to -day the most extensive - public - ownership enterprise of its kind in the world, • Since its inceptionliydre- 1 t.c !.. saved to the c remnterr o f elect;in i;.wer in Ontario over iitty ,ni!!goos of esesrs. ll; .h•o displaces annually 5 000,000 tons of coal.

Un- der the Workmen's Com- pensation Act $10,000,000 has been paid out in awards. Special safe- guards have been provid- ed for female and child labor. A mininiuin wage in Ontario is assured, and a direct representative of I,abor will sit in the Cab- inet. Free employment agencies have been es- tablished, and technical education has been en- couraged.- AGRICULTURE The agricultural Indus- dustry in Ontario is in a -prusperous and thriving condition.

Agricul- ture h receive the "ear- nest and unremitting at- tention of the Govern- ment." HEALTH Ontario's public health service is not excelled on the continent. Public iealth education, child welfare, sanitary engin- eering service, and the free distribution of anti- toxins and serums have conserved life and pre - v e n ted epidemic. .A scheme of pensions for mothers is to be estab- lished. TIte Provincial Board of health supplied all the typhoid. vaccine .. used by the Canadian troops in the war. This feature of the work has brought about a saving of over $100,000 a year to the people of the Pro- vince. As a war measure the Ontario Temperance Act was so passed, suspending for the duration of the war the retail sale of liquor. ,The promise was given that as soon as the war was over the F. hole question of the character:of theliquor legislation of Ontario would be submitted to the people by Referendum, and the will of the people would prevail.
