county u this letter i wish tb discuss the qtieatlcn of ouooesjion duties and also the question of patronage but first i would like to reply briefly to a letter to ma from mr a o m bruyns which appeared hut wee in aeveral of the newspapers of the county i am very ffud that mr bruyns ha written to me because- 1 realise that i am not an authority on the problems of the farmer- and i am always ready to learn if i am elected to represent halton county in the legislature x as sure you that i will do my best to become better acquainted with the fanners needs so that i can intelligently present hb claims in the first place may i point out that the question of tariffs comes under the exclusive jurisdiction of the dominion parliament and nothing can be gained by arguing this point in a provincial election campaign- mr bruyns seems to be basing his argument on the assumption that the cost or living la lower if this were true it would mean that prices were lower including prices for farm produce and mr bruyns would be the first ano only farmer i have ever known who ukod low prices for his products the fact is that it is incorrect to say that the cost of living is lower the cost of jiving has been steadily rising for the farmer as well as for everyone else every good housewife knows this to be true ii the condition of the farmer has improv ed it is therefore not due to anything done by the hepburn oovernment but to the general rise in prices from the low mark they reached during the depres sion relief for the farmer will not come from n government refund in taxes this is like a girt of the crumbs from a rich mans uiblc and does not render any permanent assistance i believe that the farmer needs some constructive jhtttst- ance which will give him a better market for his products and thus give him per manent mid continuous help y premier hupburn has endeavored to nuike tile collection of succession duties an issue in tills ejection campaign ever tftto

dutlea to the best of its the attempt of ur hepburn to make it appear that a conservative govern ment would be tha friend of tax evader win be rejected by all thinking peipje they will recognise that it la nothing but a deliberate attempt to confuse tnu tttfub which can you trust mr hepburns empty boast or mr ifowea definite pledge the xhitronagestem of the present administration has not been its ted by ur hepburn to be an issue in hli elec tion but it la most certainly one of the great issues just the same almost the first act of the hepburn oovernment was tb introduce the vicious tammany hall spoils system under the conservative government dvfl ser vants enjoyed security of office regard less of what administration had appoint ed them they were treated fairly on their merits xh the 134 election campaign mr hep- bum had boasted that he would start an exodus of civil servants from queens park that would eclipse the orange parade on the 13th of july his deluded supporters took this to be a promise of economy on attaining office 1047 civil servants were dismissed by the hepburn oovernment and of these 552 were re turned soldiers this is one election promise that mr hepburn carried out but instead of dismissing some and try ing to get along with the rest in order to effect a saving he hired more than he fired 1047 were dionlsbed and more than 2e of neebnrns favorites re placed them there was not even a show of fairness about the present governments treat ment of the civil servants ruthlessly without even a moments notice em ployees of many years standing were dismissed there was no reason given no accusations made no fair hearing where a man might be told of what he was suspected and have a chance to defend himself there was not even the fair notice that any employee rightly expects from his employer in 1934 mr hepburn talked glibly of abolishing highly paid tory commissions what he really meant was that hc would replace the then incumbents of these offices with inexperienced followers of his own at similar salaries the result of all this is the people of the province of ontario have a generally inexperienced highly political civil ser vice in exchange for an experienced nonpolitical one more of the- money of the people of this province is spent to support friends of mr hepburn thnn lormeriy went to support a competent j civil service bat by far the most disgraceful fea- tore of the patronage system of the hep- born government la the fact that party politics have entered into the giving of jobs on the provincial it 1th way slavery wns
