not he included in Rev the subsidy we receive from year to year is for expenses of gov and in lieu of natural re it represents Only interest in a capital not the principal itself it does not impair in any Way the which is in the form of on which we draw interest in the an Nual subsidy we receive and treat As Revenue is in no Way comparable to the received by the late government in is 12 which was a Cap ital sum for Public but waa treated As the honorable member is wrong Abonit he has fallen into a due to the fact that he was overseas in when the House j passed in act to establish the Prin Niple that monies received out of the sail of lands for principal must be treated As the amount he i objects to in our statement of i for lands is purely interest i under the act of 1917 the principal payments Are placed in a j capital j the member for Assiniboia said he did not personally care whether we i had a surplus or a does he not realize the importance of j thai our revenues fully cover the j this is fundamental is far As the credit of the province is j nothing would weaken our credit More than if the statement Dit closed that our Revenue was in sufficient for our charges Over a term i of next to the character of our which is our greatest j the fact that we Are Able year by year to meet All fixed charges and i show a surplus is a source of great strength to my an increase of debt

tried to make two the provincial treasurer lie criticized the policy j of not writing Down Book values of Public buildings in accordance with the appraisal and claimed the accounts were thus in this connection he used the Sale of Tux i Edo property Jas an in Hie second he claimed we were milking the workmen compensation fund and Telephone accounts to help j farm j As to the first the amount i added to the Book value of the Tux Edo property by this administration represented actual Money spent on improving the principally for the purpose of remodelling the buildings for the Manitoba school for the we in 1916 and in 1s17 that brought the total up to which was reduced by for insurance after the making the Book value this amount was reduced by 9g7 erroneously charged to the prop erty by the late for which we were not in any Way re this was made up of paid on vital and charged to Tuxedo re furniture and lettings higher valuation the reason we have not written the Public building Down is that we Are satisfied if an appraisal were made today of the Public buildings by the same firm that they would value them at an amount in excess of the amount the Book values set in View of the increase in Cost of building since the appraisal was and the improved condition of the buildings it does not suit the purpose of the province in Cage of the disposal of any of the buildings to have the values written Down below their actual values to j in regard to the charge of milking compensation and Telephone funds for the Benefit of farm in the Case of the work mens compensation the Case is exactly the opposite to what the honorable member at the re quest of the workmen compensation the farm Loans association receive their and pay them j 5 per interest on All which Are deposits on with Drawable without the funds of the workmen compensation Board so deposited Are guaranteed bythe and they could get nowhere else such a High rate of interest on deposits in the Case of the Telephone this million was invested at Pel at a time when the govern ment was issuing its debentures on the Market at 5 per that is three years if we had waited and left the Money on Deposit until it could be invested at the rate the honorable member the Tele phone would per interest of the Terence and 5 per for three in Addi we think there is some Community of interest Between the Rural subscribers of the telephones and the benefits arising out of farm Loans their interests Are identical in the Case of to subscribers it that these funds should be invested in farm the honorable member for la said barely referred in any particular to the accounts of he made practically no reference to business of so apparently he has not much fault to find with the with re Spect to other Points brought to continued on
