The\npremier stated that: they found\nvery little money in the treasury\nwhen they took office. The late\ngovernment, by tying up the lands\nand timber in the hands of speculators and collecting 21 years in\nadvance, towards the ond of their\n\"boom,\" for timber licenses, had\nswelled,the .revenue from $2,638,-\n000 in 1903-4 to $12,500,000 in\n19J 3 when the bottom dropped out\nof that- unsound financing by exploiting the country, instead of developing it, and by 1916, when the\nlate government went out of power\nthe revenue had fallen to $6,250,-\n000 with an annual expenditure of\n8117000,000. \"We had to raise\nyour taxes,\" added the Premier,\nand we went after the unpaid back\ntaxes, with the result that the next\nyear we had raised the revenue to\"\n68,800,000, and last year we restored the revenue to $12,500,000.\nWe have taken a large proportion\nof the .increased taxation, from-the\nbig corporations and the more\nwealthy classes, raising 82,000,000\nper annum now from the income\ntax alone.\"\nThe, last subject on which the\nPremier touched was the Woman\nSuffrage Act, an act passed by thig\nGovernment giving the ' mother\nequal guardianship of tbe children\nwith the father, and an act establishing juvenile courts and also\nproviding homes for. incorrigible\nchildren, where' medical examination and treatment\/ were given\nthose whose mental condition. waB\nfound to. be responsible for their\nmoral .delinquency, \/The = fixing of\na minimum wage for women and\nalso . prescribing . the conditions\nunder which they shall- labor, was\nanother act of -this Government,\nfrom which over 2>000 women have\nalready benefitted;: similar provisions had been inade for girls under\n18 years, of age.
