u:
Jn
presenting
his
budget
yesterday,
Hon.
J.
W.
Jones,
minister
of
finance,
said
that
!
provincial
expenditures
during
the
past
twenty
years
had
(increased
by
$1,000
as
against
only
$650
in

he
result
that
there
had
occurred
only
two

i
against
sixteen
defe'ts
aggregating
nearly
$37,000,000
in
Announcing
the
new
income
tax
of
one
per
cent
flat
on
all
incomes,
Mr.
Jones
said
that
the
new
impost
"will
represent
contribution
to
the
exchequer
by
that
section
of
our
population
which,
so
far,
has
contributed
in
but
a
small
measure
towards
the
cost
of
many
government
services
but
which
enjoys
almost
the
full
benefit.
I
anticipate
this
.ueasure
will
enable
the
government
to
meet
its
financial
requirements
and
it
is.
furthermore,
my
well
considered
opinion
that
it
is
extremely
equitable."
