Although your screed was directed against the Board of Trade, please understand that this is merely my own personal reaction. In the first place I draw attention to your inconsistency in first scolding the members for acting like a lynch law mob in being swayed by the opinion of one man without properly considering the -question; and with the very next rattle of the typewriter keys you profess yourself as horrified be- ' cause they had the temerity to imply disagreement with the stand, taken on behalf of the Cabinet, by one' other man, to ���wit':;our M.L.A. ��� I venture to think that our .M.L.A.,-and yoursellf are aware that the people of this Peninsula anyway, are very angry indeed at the manner in which the Hospital Tax scheme was put. over and administered by .. the; Government. , \ I also think 'that most, pro- .. bably all, Jwho,.were present-r- even including the "one lone ,voice,", yours wasn't it, Bill?- fe.lt this anger, :arid had been feeling it.for a long time. Bob ���' ���- Macnicol just happened to be , ..the one who had the energy '.;'.. tp ..put this almbst universal.:.^ ...feeling, into tne formalw1^���2^ >r,of a motion, probably , p.oliteness of. expression ^|: the only point of'disagreement wliich we had. The motion was seconded s. immediately," the 'question put -for; discussion if desired, ;th��e . ��� timorous "one lOne voice'' was .ignored, and 1 the ��� motion carried, I believe, unanimously. In presuming to brand this action as '' lynch law", I suggest, Sir, that you are indulging in the slogan ��� loaded, smoke ��� screen "patter"-of a fourth rate politician. ��� Remember that in your own last paragraph you admit that "to , some, playing .politics is despicable". I suggest also that the Board members, having discussed the fiasco, at large, for months, felt that r.epitition of opinion would be superfluous and waste time; so .they simply adopted the resoluition as a crystallization: of opinion, without unnecessary further unpleasantness. It may be,, that this Hospital Tax business has proved to be the well - deserved "kick in the pants ?���' that we the people needed.-to jar us out of our complacency with being ruled iby thejiCaucus. I for one hope ^sb.v:--i:-;t'v-: ���'..'' s' i: / -n ��� It could remind us that Democracy, much abused word, was not intended) to mean: "The Caucus knows best what is good-for you". That is the doctrine \ enforced, by the ancient riders, who were followed by the late dictators and the present living one. When I voted with the other members the other night I felt that, in our own minor way, we were emulating the House of Com. monsr who for centuries have stopped the ruling sovereign at the door of the House, to remind him " thus far but no farther.
