THE:+, BRUSSgE P0ST To The Electors of North Huron The Provincial election will be held P11. October 30, two weeks Ahead. North Huron is a big riding, . making a thorough canvass impos- sible, so through the medium of the lace) press 1 wish to place myself on record in regard to some of the outs standing issues of the election, namely : The .Liquor Control Act, Old Age Pensions, Hydro Rates, Gas and Motor Tax, School reforms, Finances. First I want to make it absolutely clear where I stand on the temper- ance question. In the 1926 election I opposed, as did the Liberal Party, the proposal of the etovernment to !wrap the O. T. A. and substitute 7,overnment sale of liquor. I was elected on that platform and as the representative of North Huron have been true to my electors. I am .still t'_ .,.. A. L:; h:SIcT 705. opposed to the L. C. A., as it is ,ner,.ly Government >a:e withoa,t control and with revenue as the main objective. Sales jumped from $5,000,000 p r year io nearly bI1- 000,000 for the last feral year. Th,, next liquor report :s clue November I, or the day after the election ; the election being held a year before necessary, despite the fact that tae Prime Minister asks time for the act to make good. The answer is too ap- parent. The next report will show greatly increased sales—hence the early election. I will support and work for any measure that will stop the manufacture and sa of liquor , for beverage purposes, no matter by whom introduced. By my record in the House and my statement on the question, I am endorsed by the tem- perance force, of the Province arta as such I ask the undivided support of those oppressed to the policy of control the Ferguson Government adopts in handling the liquor ques- tion. Old Age Pensions When the Federal Government in- troduced the measure it was intend. ed that the Province adopting the acheme should pay fifty per cent, of the cost. Twenty per rent. of this total cost has been saddled on the counties, the Province paving the other thirty per cent. The Province Las various ways of raising revenue for their share. The county -hare, which will he considerable, must he raised by direct taxation and the burden will have to be borne by an already overtaxed ratepayer. '!'ho entire coat should have been borne by the Province. Hydro Rates The Prime Minister has, just h' - .fore an election, promised reduce) Hydro rates to rural users, Another election promise. If hydro rates have been based on cost, as we have al- ways 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 licen- ses? Rural hydro rates are based on the charge to the ure..an centre from which power is received. What we need is a general downward revision to urban centres, such re; Code -tic]) 'and Wingham. Then. our rural rates will be down also. Gas end Motor Tax .. All money collected by g:te tax end meter.license should be spent on road cnnstlut'tion and maintainance and not diverted to other depert- nnsnts. The estimated revenue for next year is 5mililon yet less than $4- 000.000 of that will he spent on roads. Over $11,000,000 will he - used for other purposes and a like amount will he charged to the debt of the country. The Provincial dept chargeable to road Onetime ion LIBERAL LEADER TO SPEAK IN STRATFORD , W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal Leader, will speak at a rally in Stratford on Tuesday evening, October 22nd. amount will be rhaaged to the debt of the country. The Provineiel debt chargeable to roan construction amounts to $112,000,000. :,lore aid should be given to county and town ship rods thus relieving the taxpay- ers, who pay too much in gas tax for benefit -received. The pron.sewi reduction of 34 in motor 11 ense wigs refused at the last ee> ion by the 14lini-Itr of Highways, yet given on the eve n ., r r• o . ton School Reform The Prime elir.pter 1linizser of Ed' Itis.., ...1 en the floor of the Hou i a•uc willing to go to the country and let the people be the judge of his record. No school reform or ch: age i.:1, yet take,) place, hut we have had more sur:res- tion. and ideas advanced by the 3Iini.:t,a• of F.dx•atuni in the last four years than in the preceding twenty -far years, only to be aband- oned of shelved as opposition devel- oped, with the result that the whole school .system is in a state of uncer- tainty. The Minister has not the cont rte to go ahead or to admit his mistake,: in the fare of an election, but once returned to power many of his unworkable scheme; will be put in execution. Township school hoards wilt again be introduced, according to his recent report, despite the reception it received at many meetings. Two years of High School work will be forced on public, schools, and univer- sity work will be forced on High Schools, all of which means increas- ed taxation without corresponding benefit. 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 vote urban and rural conditions, and one who has the courage to amend and improve. Our present school system ie too good to scrap for the uncertainties which have been suggested from time to time by the present Minister of Education, Finances The state of the finances alone rt enough to condemn any Govern ment. When the Drury Adminiet ration quit office the annual expend- iture was $37,423,000. Annual ex- penditure in 1928 was $58.198,000. Drury Government collected in re- venue $34,110,000 Ferguson Gov- ernment collected in revenue in 1928 338,426,000 or nn increase in taxation in five years of $24,316,- 000. In the same five years clan Increased from $303,000,000 to 3393,000,000•--- an increece of $90,- 000,00. In 1928 the Treasury re- ceived in new taxation $7.500,000 from the L. 0• A., 62,000,000 from hydro. and in the year Mashie the day after election a further in- crease of, $2,000,000 will he receiv err by the edditional 2, cent (Me tax. increased liquor revene will oho lir received.

Again Decides Against Entering Contest—.eon- vention at Wingham — Leave the Field to Conservatives and Lib- erals. Wingham, Oct, 14.—United Farm- ers of North Huron, on a close call vote at a convention in Wingham town hall this afternoon, confirmed their decision at a prevmus meeting not to place a candidate in the field for the forthcoming provincial elec- tion. This leaves the North Huron contest between C. A. Robertson, Liberal, and Dr. J. 13. Whitely, Con- i servative. The previous convention at which the same decision was made by the United Farmers was several weeks ago. There was some dissatisfac- tion, and to -day's meeting was cal- led, with Thomas Wilson, president, .of the association presiding. There was a keen discussion some of the delegates favoring the field, and others opposing it. On a vote being ' taken by a close majority it was ile- ' cided not to name a candidate. The question of selecting a cand- idate for the federal field was left over for a later meeting. Grey Council Minutes Minutes of the Council Meeting, held Oct. 6.
