FINANCIAL MIS-RULE. ill 1 Wliiit PoAvers tlie Quel)ec Goveniuient Possesses. It is to be lamented that a great many people do not take as much interest as they ought to do in the Provincial Govern- ment at Quebec. Jta doinga and proceed- ings are less known than tby acts of Governments in far distant lands. Lavrs which bear on our everyday life are passed and, beyond a fleeting notice in the press, nothiii- is known of them; yet they bear on the constitutional rights of the people. It is this apathy of the many that is, in the main, responsible for the various and eun- di-y tilings which have orciirretl at the I'rovinciui Capital that to-day are having a most serious effect on the present and future well-being of the Province. If there had not have boon such absolute indiffer- ence on the part of the electors the deeds of shame, which it is the duty of this pam plilet to relate, could never have tiiken lilace. One reason, too often given, for tliis in • iiilerence as t(- what is goin^ on at Quebec, is the utterly falla.ious idea tint tho Pro- vincial Government has no powers to speak of, and it does not very much matter 'wfaa.t it does. )n short, that it is a sort of play- ing at government. As the Constitution stands at present this is about as i* troni the truth as it is possible to be, % In order that the people may Bee th« magnitude of the issur* to be placef befov^ them during the coming elcctiona. the fol lowim; list of the powers of the J^rovmcial Government is commended to the careful attention of every man who is inspired with that love of homg and country whi^.'b is the prime need of a progressive people. Under the IJritiah North America Act of 1S07, sec. 92, this is what the tiovern nicnt of the Province can do: It may exclusively make lawi in n^l.ition to matters coming within the classea of subjects next hereinafter enumerated: 1. Amend the Constitution of the Prov- ince, except as regards the ofiice of Lieu tenant Governor. 2. Direct taxation within the Pro.-inrs in order to the raising of a revenue for Provincial purposes.
