(Continued from Page 1) last fiscal year was $42,840.36. This of course is the regular staff and does not take into con- sideration the amount paid to the Tilley firm. Mr. Tweed was told that the Province had bor- rowed for Provincial Highways since 1924 the sum of $79,275,424 and that no provision had been made for the retirement of this sum other than under. General Dept. Retirement, Plan which has been suspended owing to econ- omic conditions for the past two years and which did not come into operation until 1929. One may be very safe in saying that no provision has been made for the paying off of this debt. Mr. Hutchinson was told that no lease had ever been given for power purchase at Pelican Falls. On Monday, April 3rd, Mr. Meed was told that the Ontario Marketing Board exported 46,- 853 lbs. of cheese in 1931 and none "in 1932 and that the cost of marketing was 2.46¢ per 1b. Mr. Henry brought down the Bill to make the changes in Cor- poration 'Tax Act necessitated by the new taxation proposed by the Budget. Six Bills were given second reading. Six Bills were considered in committee of the whole House. On Tuesday the speech on the Budget debate was resumed by Mr. Sinclair. The main point of his speech was the insincerety of the (Government with regard to the method of administration. Tor instance, they were making a great deal of noise about pay- ing for roads from gasoline and other motor taxes when as a matter of fact, all road construc- tion is paid out of borrowed capital. The time for fooling the people has gone by and we now must face the debt piled up and find ways and means of paying it. With respeet: 10 Hydro salaries, he contended that if Mr. Gaby, chief engineer, was paid $40,000 a year then the people should know it. He said that the salaries paid. to any civil servant was a proper suh- jeet for investigation and ques- tions should be "answered by the Government. As a means of [oak ing the 'Budget, "he on cated the elimination of contri- butions to the Superannuation Fund which he believed had now reached an amount suffi- cient to carry the demands made on it for some time fo come; to cut out the purchase of new furniture; cut the travelling ex- pense of school inspectors and others; cut the personell of the staff and reduce the salaries paid high officials. He estimated that these savings would. total $3,000,000 and that the Govern- ment could thereby balance the Budget. Mr. Nixon following took the Government to task on the question of Hydro salaries as well as the Highway adminis- tration and one of his criticisms of Hydro was particularly strik- ing. He stated that the Homor- able Lincoln Goldie had been thrown out of the Cabinet "on his neck" for opposing the pur- chase of the D. P. and T. Com- pany for $22,000,000 when Mr. Goldie had stated that the plant was not worth $4,000,000, let alone the sum paid. 'For this refusal to follow along with the machine and for the standing out for business administration, Mr. Goldie had been foreed out of the cabinet and died of a broken heart within a year. Mr. Finlayson, concluding the debate made little or no attempt to an- swer criticisms of the two pre- vious speakers but referred to Mr. Nixon and Dr. Simpson, Liberal Centre "Simcoe, as be- longing to the "Russian group" and was promptly called to task by the two members concerned and forced to withdraw lis re- mark. In other words at least a portion of his speech was de- voted to the usual ridicule and abuse of opposition members with some reference to the Lib- eral Leader, Mr. Hepburn. He contended that public. accounts contained a full story of expen- ditures and that all accounts were open for explanation upon demand. This 'may sound reason- able to the public but it must be remembered that the demand is made before Public Accounts Committee and takes the form of cross examination of higher officials of the Department and the production ..of documents necessary which must necessarily entail a great ideal of work on the part: of the questioner and for which no adequate time is available as P. A. Committee is not called until after the Bud- get has been 'brought down. ! Immediately upon completion of his speech, the amendment con- demning the Government for failure to balance the Budget Sh 1] 1 Day Bed Baby Sulkies, special 1 Davenette Suite, 3 pieces Liliana ic ple ] 8.

Wednesday six Bills were giv- en first reading and three Bills] were given second reading. Mr. Nixon's Bill which set the sal- aries paid to the members of Compensation Board by statute, as had been done prior to 1929 but which are now set by Order in Council, was debated and a division taken on the question. The vote was 21 for the Bill and 62 against second reading. This shows a reduction of 13 in the Government vote from the day! before and it was very notice- able that some of the Conserva- tive Members crossed the floor of "the House and spoke to Mr. Price while division bells were ringing and then left the Cham- ber returning again after the vote had been taken. In other words, they refused to vote for the Government but had not the strength of purpose to vote against the Government on this issue although agreeing with the principal of the Bill. Imme- diately after the opening of the House, Premier Henry made what is now regarded as one of the most outstanding announce- ments of the year. In replying to a question on the Order Taper and in introducing his Bill to authorize the Govern- ment to purchase the Abitibi Canyon Pawer project, he made a statement with regard to his; personal holding of Ontario Power Service Corporation Bonds. He admitted that he owned 25 $1,000 honds and made the defense that he had pur- chased these two years ago while he was Minister of Highways and that he could not allow them to interfere with the pur- chase of this property by the Provinee and also tabled a re- turn showing the list of hond holders who have agreed to ex: change their bonds for those of | her of the Cabinet had been ad- 'vote, it is quite conceivable that | and passed certain items total- the H. E. P. Comin. guar- BE anteed by the Province of On- tario. He stated that no mem-| vised of his personal holdings so that they were free to judge the matter on its merits. Why the Premier delayed for weeks his answer on this question will always remain a secret with him. That his position in public life was greatly jeopardized by the delay cannot be questioned. It can now be practically said that the information was forced from him by the persistent opposition both inside and outside the House. Editorial comment all over the Province is strongly against the action of the Pre- mier in this matter. On Thursday eight Pills wers reported from Private Bills Com- mittee. Eight Bills were intro- duced and given second reading and twelve Bills were given | third reading and passed.

Along came the minister and asked the first boy how much he charged for lemonade. The price was be a glass. Then asking the other boy what he charged, was told two glasses for 5 cents. : ) The minister, being a thrifty soul, drank two glasses of the cheaper lemonade, and, smacking his lips, asked why and how the boy was selling his lemonade for two glasses for 5 cents while his competitor was charging o cents a glass straight.
