The executive of the British Columbia Liberal Association desire to call your attention to the following: The Province is on the eve of a general election, and for the first time in its history the contest is to be conducted upon party lines. Hitherto contests in this Province have been carried on between aggregations bound together rather by interest than by principle, by private arrangement rather than by public considerations. In the past the dominant influences in eral Governments of the Province have been Conservative. The Prior, Dunsmuir, Turner, and previous Governments have been almost entirely composed of Conservatives, supported in the House by Conservatives. The present Government of which the Hon. Richard McBride is Premier, is tne natural successor in tradition and policy of that mischievous series of personal Governments which has made this province, although the richest of any in natural resources, the least prospeions in the dominion. With our vast mineral and other resources the progress of our development has been slow and entirely unsatisfactory. Unwise legislation, principally in the interests of speculation, not of industry, is responsible to a very large extent for this condition of affairs. The public assets, valuable franchises and monopolies, have been given away to favorite persons and corporations, instead of being utilized "for the benefit of the people at large, and this has been going on for so long a time that the province now finds itself compelled to exact from industry that revenue, which, had our affairs been wisely conducted, could easily have been obtained from our squandered heritage. The last Conservative Government, owing to its maladministration of the public affairs of the province, was through the efforts principally of a small band of Liberals, dismissed from office, and accident and the introduction of party lines has placed another Conservative government in power, and has placed at the head of that government a man who was not only an ardent supporter of past Conservative administrations, but was himself a member of one of them, and shared fully in the responsibility of an attempt on the part of the government to give away to a railway corporation, in direct defiance of the instructions of the legislature as expressed by statute, two large blocks of enormously valuable coal and oil lands in Kootenay. It is the aim of the Liberal party tc place in the field at the coming election men pledged to remedy the evils from which we have so long suffered. Among the matters requiring ate attention are the following: Civil Service Reform.—(a) By taking care that the staff of officials shall not be maintained beyond the actual requirements of the service; (b) by making good conduct and efficiency the conditions of tenure of office; (c) fitness, not favoritism, to govern appointments. Fiscal Reform.—(a) By keeping expenditure within revenue, borrowing money, if at all, only for works properly chargeable to capital; (b) wise and provident administration of the natural riches of the province, so as to bring into the treasury that revenue which should be derived from our great and varied resources; we declare our conviction that the proper taxes, rents, and royalties can, and ought to be, levied and collected in such a way as to encourage industry, and at the 3ame time provide sufficient revenue to enable the government to repeal in whole or in part certain taxes which now hamper in dustry, arrest development, and create dissatisfaction among the people. (c) In this connection the taxation of ines will receive that consideration which the importance of the mining industry to the province demands. It is claimed by those engaged in mining that their property should be exempt from taxation, but they do claim that the present system of levying taxes is unfair, and tends to discourage the investment of capital and the employment of labor in mining enterprise, thus not only retarding the development of our mineral re- 1, but also impeding the prospenty of the mining community, and preventing the enlargement of souces of revenue to the province itself. The present system imposes a tax on wages as well as on profits, and should be readjusted so as to bear upon profit only. Reform in Land Administration.— a) We denounce absolutely the Conservative policy of land grants by way of bonus to railways, and also the reservation of large tracts of land which has obtained in the past. .(b) We declare it to be our policy to hold the public lands in trust for the promotion of settlement and encouragement of industry. In the case of agricultural lands, we favor free homesteads under iditions which shall effectually secure the land to actual settlers. (c) Full and exact information as to all public lands fit for settlement should be obtained by the government and made available at every government oflice for the information of the people. The Farming Industry.—(a) Recognizing the importance of agricultnre in the province, we are in favor of placing the igricultural department of the govern-1 ment on a thoroughly practical and effi- (b) The bad management and inefficiency of the government have imposed upon fhe owners of the dyked lands much heavier burden that they should have been called upon to bear. W« would enact legislation making the landi included in the various dyking area; available for cultivation as quickly a! possible. This whole question calls for prompt attention and settlement upon basis which shall be at once just to the owners of these lands and fair to the taxpayers of the province as a whole. (c] In the interest of agriculture in what is commonly known as the dry belt, the question of the proper utilization of the water supply for irrigation purposes demands and must rec prompt attention from the government. Roads —The present lack of system ofl constructing and maintaining roads trails is productive of a serious wast public money, and in this connection more can be done to open up new c tricts where roads are needed, and less cost than what has been done in 1 past, under the wasteful and corrupt system which has been so long in vogue. Public Health.—The Health Act should be amended so as to meet the requirements of unincorporated districts in respect of sanitation and isolation, as to which no adequate provision is now found in the statutes. Provincial Rights.—Regardless of all question of party affiliation, the rights of province under the constitution should be jealously guarded. While from the point of view of dominion politics, we heartily support the government now in power at Ottawa, we shall at the same time insist most firmly upon the protection of our people by the exclusion of Oriental labor, and we shall also insist upon the right of the province to make such provisions as it shall see fit in all contracts, grants, and leases under provincial control. We shall also strenuously press upon the dominion govern ment a readjustment of our financial relations, and we claim the full enjoyment of all rights given us by the letter and spirit of the constitution. In conclusion, we appeal to all patriotic voters in British Columbia to se ze the opportunity now presented to them to rid the province of that incubus which has been so disastrous to its progress, to secure sane, progressive, and stable government by placing the Liberals in power at Victoria. Stuart Henderson, President. The veteran explorer and prospector, R. Stevenson, left Princeton yesterday in company with Messrs. Wheeler, Gwin, Stevenson and Walmsley. They go to R. Stevenson's, sr., Lost Mine, discovered 26 years ago on the Hope plateau. Mr. Stevenson has had some splendid assays from this mine and he expects it will fully bear o"ut all his expectations as de- lopment goes on. POPULAR CANDIDATE. W. A. Nclean Develops Support and Sympathy in Unsuspected Quarters. W. A. McLean, the Liberal candidate for the riding of Similkameen, accompanied by L. H. Patten, Fairview, were in town the early part of the week and were very agreeably surprised with the number of Liberals they met. They had heard that Princeton was Tory to the core but of the truth of that report they utterly deny. Having made a personal canvas of this division Mr. McLean feels at liberty to say that there is no ground for claiming it as Conservative in any sense of the word. Because of the Liberal railway policy in constructing another transcontinental railway in competition with the present monopoly new adherents are coming under the Liberal fold ; and, again the pronounced stand of Liberals in the provincial legislature for political purity has won the party many supporters. The various administrations for the past twenty years were Conservative in influence and tradition in provincial politics and the people are now ripe and ready for a change. For these reasons and many others that space will not permit of the Liberals have everything to favor them in this campaign. The Game Laws.

Owing to pressure of political matter much local information has been laid over. From now until- the end of the campaign the Star will be largely occupied with political news.

HOWSE. election and the date of the opening of the House lies in the fact that the Government have on foot a new railway deal which they are anxious to push through as rapidly as possible. It is stated that in return for the concessions given to the railway people, they will provide the necessary funds for the Conservative campain. That there is some ulterior motive behing these sudden changes there can be no question and the flimsy explanations offered extenuation by the Premier only serve to strengthen what is more than a mere suspicion." THE LIBERAL MANIFESTO. The liberal manifesto and platform which is published in full in this issue has a full exposition and criticism by the Kamloops Sentinel which is well worthy attention. " The first plank of the Liberal platform refers to a subject which, though not a live issue just now, was so when the platform was adopted In this matter the rights of the people have been substantially secured by the efforts of a handful of Liberal members who holding the balance of power during the session of 1902, compelled an unwilling administration to pass the present Redistribution Act. The Vancouver News-Advertiser tries to make it appear that the date was changed from October 31st to October 3rd because the work of the courts of revision had been lighter and more quickly disposed of than he anticipated. The nearer truth is perhaps found in the inspired dispatch sent out from Victoria to the News-Advertiser in which in - referring to the change of date it is said, "this comes as a great surprise to the Liberals who had not anticipated any such change." The inference therefore is that it occasioned no surprise to the Conservatives who had been forewarned that such a change was to be made. One good effect of the change will be that the country will be all the sooner rid of the stop-gap government. The people will pass judgment on Oct. 3rd and on Nov. 26th, the sentence will be carried out and the McBride government will" be placed among the "has-beens." For not only has the date of election heen altered but the proclamation calling the Legislature for January 26th has been annulled and the House will assemble two months earlier, Nov. 26th. The Premier has stated no valid reason for holding a second session of the legislature this year, putting the country to considerable expense. The sessional indemnity of members alone will amount to $33,600, and* this covers only one item of the expense entailed by a session of the Assembly. There is reason to believe, however, that one real reason for the changes both in the date of NOTICE.

Editor Star—Sir: We see by the Daily News-Advertiser, Vancouver, of Sept. 2, that at an important meeting of the British Columbia executive council a minute was passed recommending the dominion authorities that no Asiatics be employed on the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad ; we believe in the above minute as sound. But all good housekeepers clean their own houses first before they criticize or dictate to that of their neighbors. We have here in Princeton a market garden run by a government official with this same Asiatic labor and the products of the said garden thrown upon the market, which is certainly not to the benefit of our settlers, small farmers, or laborers. Are we settlers to be dragged down to compete against this coolie labor, elong with our-families? If this was perpetrated in a Union Labor camp, the said government official would be boycotted with his Chinese garden truck. (Consistency, thou art a jewel!) If Editor Carter Cotton would explain this to the electors of Richmond district, where he date, it would be more to the mark. We trust that the Hon. R. F. Green, Minister of Mines of Slocan, is not a Chinese lover and that he will look into this. If not, the electors will on the 3rd of October. We do not wish to throw mud or brick bats at our neighbors, but public officials and public questions must and will be discussed during this political campaign.

The Liberal platform, as adopted at the Provincial Liberal Convention held al Vancouver, is as follows: 1. The immediate redistribution of the constituencies of the province on basis of population, but allowing a smaller . unit of population per seat for the outlying districts. 2. Government ownership, Domini provincial and municipal, of public vices of utilities is sound and should be carried out in British Columbia. 3. Should it be advisable at any ti to grant aid to a railway company such shall be in cash and not in land an bonus of any kind shall be given \ out definite and effective means being taken to safeguard the interests of the province in the management of the i control of the freight and passenger rates and provision made against such railway having any liability against it except for actual cost. 4. Immediate construction of the Coast- Kooteuay railway, the Cariboo railway, the extension of the island railway, s lailway from Alberni to a point on the east coast of the island, a road in the northern part of the province from the coast to the eastern boundary with an extension to the northern boundary, the railway from Vernon to Midway by north fork of Kettle river, with necessary branch lines, ferries and connections. 5. The enforcement of the act now force compelling the scaling of logs by government scalers. 6. That such legislation should be enacted as will result in making the lands included in the various dyking areas available for cultivation as quickly as possible and secure prompt paym of assessments when due. 7. That the government should keep in touch with the conditions in connec tion with mining, protecting said industry against combines and trusts and if necessary for the purpose build and operate smelters and refineries. No reasonable change should be made in the mining laws without full notice to all parties interested, giving full opportunity for disc andc 8. As the province can only ad by the settlement within its borders of thrifty and prosperous citizens, a Orientals never become citizens ii proper sense of the word, we declare it to be the duty of the government to discourage Oriental immigration and employment by every means within its power, and we appeal to our fellow Liberals throughout the Dominion to aid us in our efforts to protect ourselves against the ruinous competition of men having a standard of decency and comfort immensely below that of civilized people, and who shirk every duty and obligation of citizenship which the law will allow them to escape. 9. The government ought to prevent the waste and suffering caused by strikes and lockouts, and an earnest effort ought to be made to provide some means of preventing such strikes and lockouts, and we approve the adoption of compulsory arbitration. 10. The fiscal system of the province is in need of revision. Taxation should bear upon privilege rather than upon industry, and no addition should be made to the debt of the province except for public works properly chargeable to capital. 11. The retaining of the resources of the province as an asset for the benefit of the people and taking effective measures to prevent the alienation of the public domain except to actual, bona fide business or industrial purposes, putting an end to the practice of speculation in connection with the same. 12. The construction and maintenance of roads throughout the province to aid in the development of the mining and agricultural districts.
