-ELECTION MANIFESTO
To the Electors of North. Huron
The Provincial election will be held on October 30, just three weeks
ahead. North Huron is a big riding, making a thorough canvass imposs-
ible, so through the medium of the local press I wish to place myself On
record, in, regard to some of the outstanding issues of the election, namely:
The Liquor Control Act
Old Age Pensions
Hydro Rates
Gas and Motor Tax
Fit School Reforms
Finances
ces
First .I want to make is absolutely clear where I stand on the Tem-
perance question. In the 1926 election I opposed, as did the Liberal party,
the proposal of the Government to scrap the O. T. A. and substitute Gov-
ernment sale of liquor. I was elected on that platform and as the repre-
sentative of North Huron have been true to my electors. I am still op-
posed to the, L. C. A., as it is merely Government sale without control and
with reventi€ as the main objective. Sales jumped from $5,000,000 per year
to nearly $49,000,000 for the last fiscal year. The next liquor report is due
November 1., or the day after the election, the election being held. a .year
before necessary, despite the fact that the Prime Minister asks for time
for the act to make good, The answer is too apparent. The next report
will show -greatly increased sales -hence the early election. 'I will support
and work for any measure that will stop the manufatcure and sale of liquor.
for beverage purposes, no matter by whom introduced. By my stand in
the House and my statement on the question, I am endorsed by the Tem-
perance forces of the Province and as such I ask the undivided support of
those opposed to the policy of control the Ferguson ° Government adapts
in handling': the Liquor question.
Old Age Pensions.
When the Federal Gov't. introduced the measure it was intended
that the Province adopting the scheme should pay 50% of the cost. 20%
of this total cost has been saddled on the Counties, -the. Province paying
the other 30%. The Province has various ways of raising revenue for their
sharer The County share which will be considerable.. must be raised by
direct taxation and the burden will have to be borne by the already over-
taxed rate -payer. The entire cost should have been borne by the Province.
Hydro Rates
The Prime Minister -has, just before an election, promised reduced
Hydro rates to rural users. Another election promise. If Hydro rates
have been based on cost, as we have always been told, why the sudden re-
duction? Who will pay the deficit? Or will it be like the driver's permits
or the last reduction in motor licenses? Rural hydro rates are based on
the charge to the urban centre from which. power is received. What we
need is a general downward revision to urban centres, such as Goderich
and Wingham. Then our rural rates will •be down also.
Gas and Motor Tax
All money collected by gas tax and motor license should be spent
on road construction and maintenance and not diverted to other depart-
ments. 0 yet less
than
for nextear
is 15 000 0
'mat revenue
Theestimated$ ,
Y
$4,000,000 of that will be spent on roads. Over $11,000,000 will be used
for other purposes and a like amount, will be charged to the debt of the
country.. The Provincial debt chargeable to road constrciction amounts to
$112,000,000. More aid should be given, to county and towitship roads, thus
municipal tax
inx and
muchgas to
relieving the tax -payers who pay too
for benefit received. The promised reduction of $4 in motor licenses was
refused at the last session by the Minister of Highways, yet given on the
eve of an election.
School Reform
The Prime Minister and. Minister of Education said on the floor
of the House that he was willing to go to the country and let the people
be the judge of his record. No school reform or change has yet taken
place but we have had more suggestions and ideas advanced by the Min-
ister of Education in the last. 4 years than in the preceding 25 years, only
to be abandoned or shelved as opposition developed, with the result that
the whole school system is in a state of uncertainty. The Minister has not
the courage to go ahead or to admit his mistakes in the face of an election
but once returned to power many of his unworkable schemes will be put
into execution. Township School Boards will again be introduced, accord-
ing to his latest report, despite the reception it received at many trustee
meetings. Two years .of High School work will be • forced on Public
Schools, all of which means increased taxation without corresponding ben-
efit. What we are sadly in need of is a •Minister of Education who will
devote his whole time to the school problem, free from party politics, a
student of educational needs who will study both urban and rural condi-
tions and one who has the courage to amend and improve. Our present
school system is too good to scrap• for the uncertainties which have been
suggested from time to time by the present Minister of Education;
•
The State of the Finances alone is enough to condemn any Govern,.
meat. When the Drury administration quit office the
annual expenditure was $ 37,423,000
annual expenditure in 1928 was $ 58,198,000
Drury Gov't. collected in revenue 34,110,000
Ferguson Gov't. collected in revenue in 1928 58,426,000
or art.increase in taxation in 5 years of 24,816,000
In. the same 5 years debt increased from 303,000,000
to , , , 898,000,000
an increase of 9Q,000 000
In 1929 the Treasury receivedit new taxation $75,000,000 from the
r and ithe closing� the day, •
L. C. A., $2,000,000 from Hydroan year y ay, after
election a further increase of $2,000,000 will be received by the additional
2c gas tax. Increased liquor revenue will also be received. Yet naunci
polities who cottribute tb this taeie etre receiving no additional .benefit
since the administration stook place. •
Briefly 1 have trued to give reasons foe seeking 'yaw' support. A re-
turn of the Ferguson administration to power with an increased majority
means disaster for the Province, It means endorsation of his Liquor pol-
icy which after all is the real issuc,,and will be as long as the Government
sells liquor with revenue as the objective. „ewe
