Excerpt from The Record of the Conservative Administration
One would expect that a party coming into power with such a horror of extravagance would have proceeded at om: to cut down the public expenditure. But no! It was soon discovered that the new economical administration needed more money to carry on the government than did the old e_;travagant Liberal administration; and instead of decreasing, the cost of government increased steadily from the very outset, until last session the total vote for all purposes actually reached the sum an increase ofmore than eight million dollars over the vast expenditure which Conservatives denounced so vigorously eight years ago. And this, in spite of the fact that the population of the Province has not largely increased in the meantime.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a political document from 1912 which provides an overview of the policies of the Conservative administration in Ontario at the time and offers a critical perspective on its performance, arguing that it had failed to live up to its promises of economy while increasing government spending, particularly on salaries and the establishment of new government positions. The author also criticizes the administration for its perceived mishandling of several portfolios, including agriculture, education, and Crown Lands, which they claim had resulted in decreased efficiency and a decline in the provinceâs farming population. The book concludes by presenting a series of detailed arguments in favor of increased taxation of corporations and railways, as well as a land-value tax, which the author argues would improve the province's finances and make the tax burden more equitable.
