' / • Elston raps governmen e tests 'money ail:president; Mac treasurer; at riding annual meetin sumers The Davis government is displaying "arrogant behavior” toward the people of Ontario, Huron -Bruce MLA Murray Elston told a gathering of party faithfuls at the annual meeting of the Huron -Bruce Liberal Associ- ation last Thursday evening in Ripley. Mr. Elston said this arrogance is well illustrated by the May 19 budget which introduced increases in personal income tax, gas tax and increases on such items such •as cigarettes and alcohol. He said he doubted the government would have 'ended up with 70 seats on' March 19 had"it campaigned on last Tuesday's budget. • Mr. Elston claimed • Premier Davis is the "greatest of all evaders in • , the House", sOffig, the premier has the:ability to extricate himself by jumping on members of the op- position when questioned on • controversial matters, for . example the Raymor-Astra break-up. He said the government paid linservice' tOfa,rmers in the budget and the, speech from the throne, but nothing substantial has been done to. help 'farmers face the •, problems of high input costs and low returns. a Mr. Elston said the budget included a small program for fruit and vegetable growers, but there is nothing for young farmers, capital input or tile drainage. He said the, best way to impress an unresponsive government is for the people to make themselves heard loudly and clearly so that the concerns of the constituency may be taken to Queen's Park by the member. Mr. Elston also told the gathering he will be opening a constituency office • in Wingham. This new office will. operate in addition to the Constituency office already located in Kincardine. Mr. Murray called upon Murray Gaunt to make a few brief ,remarks. Mr.'. Gaunt said that he is enjoying his "new lifestyle" of farming , very .much.
