The vote was so decisive that it is probable iiu aueiniji win ue niatie 10 introduce anotner lor some time to come. One of the bylaws was for the purchase of a landing field for the purpose of establishing the cityi as an airport. The other two were for repaving streets. The action of the ratepayers in Victoria reflects pretty well the attitude of taxpayers in other cities, who feel thbX the mill rates are already as high as they can stand. One of the editorial writers in the Victoria Colonist, commenting on mis, says: "There was a deeper significance in the vote on the money bylaws than merely the crushing defeat of the measures and that significance is capable of more than a local application. There was a note of warning which should-be carefully considered by politicians at large as well as by our municipal politicians. The significance of the vote was that the people who pay taxes will submit to no further increases of taxation. And the ratepayers of Victoria, in recording their votes, registered the views of thoughtful people in all parts of Canada. For many years the tendency .... . lido liiuin in ftir t t,Il 1 1 1 iA.ni in uic uiiftuun ui jugnei aim sun nigner rates of taxation." In the Victoria Jbylaws the vote was ten to one against the airport Scheme and four to one against each of the pav-ing schemes. We believe today that the only expenditures that are made by municipalities should be those that will give the largest possible amount of labor for the expenditures in volved.

"I suggest that it Is a red herring drawn across the trail to cover up their orgy of par-tlzanshlp," the speaker said. "It is Just a government of bluff, bluster and four-flushing.

As a result of these, there was actually more unemployment rather than less.

When Inquiry unemployment could not be solved until the people learned to speak and think Internationally. Education and the creation of goodwill were needed as well as tolerance.

His opponent in the last election, Mr. Pattullo recalled, had declared that, at the rate of progress of construction un- ballyhoo and they always seem to do the wrong thing." Horse Rare Tipster In spite of what had been said, Mr. Pattullo asked if agriculture were more prosperous today In this province than It was in 1928. The speaker criticized the appointment of Hon. T. 0. Coventry, who had given up his seat in Saanich for Premier Tolmle, as markets commissioner In England. He did not think Mr. Coventry was either com petent or qualified to fill the office. Now he had become an official tipster on horse races at the ex pense of the province of British Columbia. "The government Is con ducting a burlesque of ineptitude and Incompetence." Turning to the financial situa tion, Mr. Pattullo denied absolutely that the one per cent Income tax had been necessary because of debts left by the Liberals. The fact was that the Liberal Government had reduced taxes. The speaker charged that the Conservative Government had increased expenditures from $22,000,000 per year in the last year of Liberal regime to over $28,000,000 this year. Mr. Pattullo further charged thaj Minister of Finance Jones, in his budget this year, had padded his estimates of revenue and underestimated expenditures In order to convince the public that he had balanced his budget. Despite till Mr. Jones' prostestatlons, Mr. Pattullo declared that "there had never been a more misleading budget than this last one." Ignorant Minister Mr. Pattullo then told of an Incident where he had inquired from Mr. Bruhn, the minister of public business people, proper protection should be given the mass of the people and the perspective should never, overlook their welfare, Mr,!

One Per Cent Tax "In my opinion," Mr. Pattullo declared, "the one per cent tax Is solely and totally due to the extravagance of this government and their orgy of expenditure. Moreover, they are taxlnr people who should not be taxed at all." Another objection Mr. Pattullo had to this administration was that it persistently and constantly worked In secret. No reports of commissions were ever made public and it was impossible to obtain Information. The speaker stated that he had inquired of the minister of finance how much had been received during the first two months of the new one per cent tax.. The minister would not give the information. In , several .cases, Mr. Pattullo charged that the Premier had given answers which "Were not In keeping with the truth." Unemployment In 1923, Mr. Pattullo recalled, the Liberal Government had been attacked upon theiscore of unemployment. The Conservatives had saidj that, if they were returned to of-! flee, there would be no unemploy- j ment. Now it arose before them as a Frankenstelfijfrnonster. Much changed was the cry of Mr. McKen-1 zie, the minister of labor, who now declared that unemployment was; a national, rather than a provincial matter. t Despite this, Mr. Pattullo declared that he did not blame the provincial government for all the unemployment. It was caused by world conditions over which this province had no control. "But we have got to 1 take alleviatlve measures. We must ' let no person in our Dominion go hungry." There was something wrong with j the credit system of the world to- j day, Mr. Pattullo declared, In dls-i gresaing from provincial affairs.
