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 Can North Huron afford to,send to Toronto a supporter of the Fer- guson Administration?
