Robertson Critical in His Reply to Speech from the Throne "This session will have been in.vain if out of it all.we do not realize that our present condition is due to an orgy of reckless extravagance,.a total disregard for the ability and unability of the people to pay, and to. the fact' that we have been for years living beyond our income, discounting and mortgaging our future." The above statement featured the address of Charles A. Robertson (Liberal, Huron North), in speaking in the Legislature in the debate on the Speech from the Throne. Charg- ing that the Government, through, in- discriminate use of grants for 'educa- tion and highways, had involved many municipalities in a morass of debt, the speaker recounted how the present Ontario Administration had increased the debt of the Province, increased taxation and had failed to provide adequately for debt retire- ment. Adding to Debt "This is the first and last session in which the Government will have the opportunity of preaching econ- omy. If it is true that we are going to have no new taxation, it will be the first sesison of its kind. It is the first time that the Government has admitted that we are going through troublous times, and it is similar to other sessions in that we are unable to balance our Budget again," declar- ed Mr. Robertson. "Again we are going to disappoint the taxpayer by not offering him soave reduction in his tax bill. We are still adding mil- lions to the debt of the Province." Law Enforcement. Stating that the cost of law enfor- cement had risen frond $706,000 in 929 to $1,004,000 in 1931, and that 1 the administration of justice from $758,445 to $1,036,733 in the same eriod, Mr. Robertson declared that he cost of the administration had run riot" in outside municipalities uring recent years. Fees' were too igh; unnecessary postponements of rials cost money, and Grand Juries hould be abolished, he said. "The cost of legislation is only 938,000, and it will be little less af- r redistribution, but the total cost ould be easily saved by the elimin- ion of part of the army of civil rvants," continued Mr, Robertson, "Municipalities would be affected y the reduction of the educational wants by 20 per cent." he said. "Inspectors, encouraged by the de- partments, have too much latitude in condemning; schools, school equip- ment, and l\tunicipal Councils have tuo little control over such 'expendi- tures," Air. .Robertson maintained. Other Economies Economies being effected in the ' Higinvays Department were not all ;of that department's making, he .said, tpainting out that much of the saving was by reason of the municipalities curtailing their expenditures on roads.' Yet, in spite of it, an additional tax of one cent a gallon had, been placed t o gasoline; motor license costs in- creased in 193',.1,, increasingthe rev- enues by $2,500,000. And, if the Pro- i•inci:ti Government could :prevail on their friends at Ottawa to 'take `off the gasoline tariff the people could still pay the gasoline tax and get the commodity at IL than 20 'cents a gallon, he estimated. Dealing with the spread between tiro prices the, farmer received for his produce and that paid by the con- sumer, Mr, l :obertson attacked the packers and. distributors, "1 had in- tended asking for on investigation in - The Young Peoples Society held their weekly meeting on Monday eV- d ening last, with a good attendance.

WRECKER I watched them tearing a building do«m-- A gang of men in a busy town; With a "Ho heave Ho" and a lusty yell They swung a beam andethe side wal fell; I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled? And the kind you would hire if you were to build?" He laughed and said, "Why, no in- deed, Just common laborers is all I need; They can easily wreck in a day or two That which has taken the builders years to do." So I said to myself, as I went on my way,. What part in the game of life do I' play, Am I shaping my_ deeds to a well - made plan, Carefullymeasuring with a rule or square, Patiently doing the very best that I can, Or am I a wrecker -who walks the town— Content with the labor of tearing down. —Author Unknown.
