Stevens, Editor. VANCOU VKK, British Columbia, DcO; io, Wiu. COM. JAS. FINDLAY Has announced to "The Call" that he will again be m the field as candidate for re-election as License Commissioner. Who is Responsible HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE; AND BLAME IN LIKE MANNER. ��������� ;" 7^7 .'' No topic has furnished material this year for so much talk as ���������our Vancouver streets. The citizens, as well as many of the officials and elected representatives, have been fault-finding. And in many cases the grumbling has been justly based. But are there no other sides to this question? If so, let us have a look at them. First. Much of the condemnation is either extreme or unjust on the part of citizens and officials. For instance', there is more work under way tliis year. 1910. than at any previous period. Hence there were never so many of our streets torn up as has of late been the case. Now, would we as ratepayers have been willing to see it different, speaking broadly, and allowing for some exceptions? My answer is: We would not have been willing to wait. Each group of owners and residents w������re determined t ohave no delay, and insisted on their own particular streets being torn up. for improvements. Hence, I say that the fault comes primarily upon the impa? tient citizens, if there be any fault in this regard. Again, much'of the trouble of this year comes over from last year, and in turn last year had .its load, in part, saddled upon it from the year ahead. And so it goes. Again, fault, laid upon the engineer, frequently, should go .straight to some of the aldermen. And all men of aldermanic cx- /perience know this to be true. They, by vote, order certain work to be done in a certain way. For a quarter of a century this has been one of the difficulties the engineers have had to contend against. The talk of mayoral platforms is somewhat amusing, from year to year. The re-arrangement of the entire engineering department was, I believe, first put forth, as a part of my platform, over two years ago. This is of little account whether I or some other person was the first promoter of the scheme.. My plan was to have oue authoritative, overseeing, and consulting engineer. Then under him there should be a head of each of the three departments: Water, streets, and all pipe-lines within the City. Doubtless such a man could be had. and tlier^ with a wise distribution of duties among two or three heads of departments under [\him, efficiency should be brought up to a maximum. I believe no man on earth is big enough to do all the work crowded upon our present engineer. With fair play, and within reasonable bounds, I believe our present engineer could serve the city successfully. Lastly: We should have a Street Inspector to render assistance, and relieve the head of.the department. At one time we had a good man in Mr. Wylie,.who was alive and always at his work. In every part of the eity he was seen late and early. I do not know at this moment whether the city is paying for an inspector or not. At any rate, I never see such an official looking over the streets, and have imtnWWy"m������h w^ I believe that an ex-alderman was at one time appointed to this office. He may^still be drawing pay.. If so, I would be glad to know ���������that he is earning his money. So far as I have learned, and I have asked many times, he has not been very busy at the job this year in this part of the city. I have not seen him on Grandview once, since his appointment. If he be not now in the employ of the city I hereby beg his pardon. . I am sure there are from 500 to 1,000 humps and holes in our streets, as the result of men putting in sewers, gas and water. Good [\ streets, as soon as made, are systematically and persistently torn up by pipemen of some department. Then they pass away to another f,spot and destroy a similar portion, and so continue. The humps and hollows remain, and the street inspector appears not, so far as I can learn, to immediately put such spots into a proper state of repair. '.Then each citizen, who is inconvenienced by these holes and humps, proceeds to curse the engineer. Why has the Street Inspector no responsibility and authority to attend to these matters? If he has, he does not overtake his work, even if he touch it in a slight degree. Either have him with definite duty, or discharge him. As a matter of fact, these numerous small spots, above referred to, could be well handled by the ward foremen; and if they had standing orders to attend to these holes and humps, then the citizens would know how to place their hands on the responsible parties. Responsibility, definite duty and quick action are required. Surely the Board of Works could, at one sitting, put this simple but perplexing matter in train. Top much responsibility is placed on the engineer, [and not enough upon the inspector and ward foremen. - E. ODLUM. December 15th, 1910. ' The Public Support Us Highly Commend Attitude of the "Call.'' , "Uello. is that the 'Call'* Well, I want to tell you how much I Appreciate your efforts to rouse public interest in the License Commission. You're doing good work; and it was badly needed." The foregoing was a phone message from one of Vancouver's best citizens, and we are receiving daily scores of similar comments. The public are with us in this effort rto rid the License Commission of an element which is anything hut right. Com. Edgett has been growing fat in the office, and is now trembling in his shoes because his record is being exposed and seeks to stop the bombardment by specious statements to the effect that he "intends to retire this year." So he wil 17 after election day; that is, he will be elected to stay at home. The public is thoroughly dis-. gusted with his actions and will insist ori. a change. s The history of the granting of the license to the Van Decar Hotel 's interesting, and instructive as well. It illustrates what a man can do under given circumstances, but our chief interest in it is because of Com. Edgett's connection, and we purpose asking publicly for an explanation. Last December Mayor Douglas gaVe a permit to the Van Decar, although it had been agreed that no permits should be given.. There was some interesting shuffling, however, in this case, in which Com. Edgett figured prominently. ��������� At a meeting early in January the formal application came up. The mayor was absent and Com. Edgett was appointed to the chair. Com. Crehan moved, and Com'. Findley seconded that the application bjc refused, on the ground that the applicant was not a proper person to have a license, and on this motion it was refused. At the next meeting this'resolutioni wasmissing from the minutes, and Com. Findley questioned their accuracy and asked that it be left over, until the return of Com. Crehan, who was away. This was done. At the next meeting Com. Crehan was present and questioned the minutes and pointed out that the motion refusing the license to the Van Decar had not been entered in the minutes, but in its place a clause "that it lay over." He asked Inspector Robinson, the secretary, why this was done. Inspector Robinson replied that "it was put in the minutes as directed by the chairman. Com. Edgett." After considerable difficulty the minutes were corrected. The application was then brought up again and strongly championed by Com. Edgett, but on the objection of Com. Crehan, supported by the solicitor, that it was out of order, as it was necessary to advertise again, it was laid over, but again introduced and finally granted, largely as a result of Com. Edgett's activity. ��������� We ask Com. Edgett: Did you instruct Inspector Robinson to change the minutes as stated by him; suppressing the motion refusing the application of the Van Decar, which you so strongly supported? If so, what was the influence which induced you to so flagrantly violate the rules qf procedure and your public trust?" ��������� v Does the Van Decar buy its suplies from you? Did you not, as a member of the License Board last year, agree not to authorize permits? ' ' ' ' ������������������' -----������ Then why did jou write to Major Douglas urging that a permit be granted the Van Decar in December of last year? Com. Edgett dare not answer the questions which have been asked him- through the Western "Call in its last Uve issues, and if he feels that we are unfair or unjust in our questions and criticisms, we challenge him to a full and open investigation of the whole matter. The-majority of the license holders of this city are desirous of keeping the law and would welcome a perfectly free commission. They would prefer to purchase their supplies in the open market, without fear of prejudicing a member of the Board. It certainly would be in the city's interest that it should be so. . We urge every voter to actively oppose, all candidates who use the influence of office as a business asset, and to see that Com. Edgett is relegated to the class7of "and he also ran." / - CONDENSED NEWS -VANCOUVER���������The inquest on tlie body of "George^EdwaftV Black; the- unfortunate victim of the .supposed poisoned supper given in his rooms at 892 Granville street on Saturday night, was commenced Monday at the undertaking parlors of Messrs.

Both Prince Rupert and Chilliwack have turned down the [appeal made through the Scott Act. This does not in.any sense show the true opinion of the people lin these districts. Many Conservatives who are strong local option- lists firmly believe that it is the intention of the Provincial Govern- wnent to give a local option law and prefer to wait until such time Ibefore supporting the movement, and further, they look on any lattempt to force the Dominion statute as a distinct reflection on the Provincial Government and tantamount to "a vote of want of con- Ifidenee. It certainly was unwise to attempt to pass the Dominion law in {such Conservative strongholds as Chilliwack and Prince Rupert. I In Chilliwack the sentiment is overwhelmingly "dry," but for [these reasons many did not vote at all, preferring to await the action I of the Provincial Government. . _ .

Pugsley, replying to Vancouver and New Westminster deputation, promises government assistance. It is'becoming more and more evident each May that the crisis is by no means past in British polities. The parties find themselves in practically the same position which they held one year ago. The only possible hope for the Liberal-Labor coalition administration to carry on the government lies in the granting to the Irish Nationalists home rule. This may seem to be simple enough, but upon second thought one will be convinced of the difficulties whieh will face the administration when they undertake to pass the measure in the House. ���������' 77'; "Home Rule" from a Nationalist standpoint and Home Rule from the viewpoint of a half-hearted Liberal, are two entirely differ- ent propositions, 'and.'wefeel(safe"to predict that the measure will never; pass. The Nationalists^ purpose demanding the "pound of flesh." They are in absVdute; control and know it full well. They will never, accept anyhalf-measure. Nor'willthey tolerate any compromise. .'*'.���������������������������: On the other hand, many Liberals have been held faithful to the party by plausible arguinents re:a modified form of Home Rule or , the ..'hope.;that the party could-be returned with a sufficient majority to be independent ������>f the Nationalists. Their hopes are now blasted * asto the latter and the Nationalists will attend to the former. ,, 7-\''The-'jJnionists.Conservative party on the other hand remain unbroken. They have not forced a clear issue on "Empire Solidarity," but it is clear that such.is the real issue, and it is safe to say that the present conditions in political circles in England will force the , Conservatives to make thi|������ issue, a feature inithe near future; nntil htis is done, and not uutil-theri, there will be chaos and strife in the political arena. One weakness lies at the door of the Conservatives, and that-is, some members of teh party believe that all new and progressive ideas . should be shunned?by a true Conservative. This is not only absurd, '' but entirely foreign to the true Conservative spirit. * J Conservatism does not mean freedom from change, but reason and caution in change. ' All true Conservative welcome advanced ideas and moderations of social and economic customs made neees- -���������' sary by"modern developments,.but.he desires to have them realized by "evolutionary" methods, rather than by "revolutionary" means. Not because he is "slow," but because he desires permanency rather * than experiment. ti > The present political unrest in England is simply a "refiner's "' fire," through which the.parties are being passed, and! they must > ultimately find their true'position and thus work out the destiny of \ the nation and of the Empire. ���������^ r:::i-rr ��������� . ..������*'. BOUBAS8A. The latest move of this eratic politician is to go to Paris and * declare that it is the fond hope of the Nationalists of Quebec to k establish a "New trance" on the bank of the St. Lawrence..v >��������� ^ He and his followers have a declared policy of establishing the dtiaL ^uthudtji^if Erauce���������aude.8pJlie,in Canada.^jQiiebee will,not and is not their only goal, but the whole oir Canada. v The French Canadian sympathies were with Louis Riel in his rebellion of 1885, aud it was his execution which changed the support of Quebec from the Conservative party under MacDonald, to the French-Canadian opposition leader, Sir .Wilfred Laurier, and to him they will remain true as long as he will sacrifice other national interests to those of the Vatican and the racial sentiment m Quebec. But now that Sir Wilfred shows some indication of being an Imperialist, they threaten to leave him in his old age and to make this fire-brand Bourassa their leader.' Bourassa is one of the most dangerous types of men possible to have in a national life. He is clever, able, and a well informed man, .but with .his whole vision ..distorted by. a blind adheranee to a Jesuitical sentiment which makes him incapable of even respecting the rights of-.thosc who differ from him', in this respect. His fanatical zeal and utter devotion marks him a most undesirable person to be a leader. He ���������will go himself to almost any extreme and will incite others to do the same. 7 French nationalism is too-bitter a pill for the Conservatives of Canada to swallowand they may-as well cease- tobid for.Quebec and seek to solidify the loyal portions of the country and prepare for a contest in the political arena on a platform of British Imperial Nationalism.

CIVIC ELECTIONS. There is unusual interest being exhibited in municipal affairs, as is evidenced by the large audiences which are attending the various meetings. The large Oddfellows' Hall, Mount Pleasant, was filled to the doors at Mayor Taylor's first appearance in that ward. His worship spoke at length on the state of civic affairs, and made reply to many of the charges whicii Mr. Morrison was making. His worship explained the lamentable state of the engineer's department by showing that he only had the support of a minority of the Council, and hence was helpless, and urged his hearers to elect only such aldermen as would pledge themselves to a re-organization of this department. The mayor enumerated a large number of different planks which he was supporting, and appealed to his hearers to support him if they were satisfied that he hjul done his duty* The mayor was followe^py Aid. Stevens, who received a warm and enthusiastic reception, and in a forceful speech outlined his work of the year. In reply to a number of questions he stated that he was in favor of-"eight-hourday," "the Dunsmuir-Keefer street bridge," "government by commission," "no bench grading." "of a re-or- eranixation of the engineer's department." and explained the different items at some length. lie also stated, as the prime mover in the annexation movement, that considerable progress had been made. At the conclusion of his speech. Mr. Geo. Healy'.moved "that the ratepayers of Ward V. as assembled in that hall, do heartily approve of the work and efforts of Aid. Stevens, and pledge him their support during the coming election." Thi.s resolution was earthed unanimously. Mr. Geo. E. Williamson was the next speaker. He .first outlined the work of the License Commission, of which be is a member, and ;i report of which niiiv be found on another page. He also spoke strongly on the question of the engineer, stating that he could not understand how any sane man could support the engineer, and if elected he would do his utmost to secure his rapid removal. Com. Williamson made a good impression and will no doubt make a good practical alderman. He was followed by Wm. Davis, Esq., but as the hour was late a number of his audienee began to leave, and while in the midst of h;������ address a large portion of those remaining also went. Mr. Davis attacked present and past councils, and stated had Ward V. elected him in past years instead of rejecting him, the state of civic affairs would be much better than they were. On the whole, the meeting was a thorough success, and if the interest is any indication of what the vote is to be, there should be a good vote at the forthcoming elections. ^ .���������,;._?*_ . ; $m#vw&.&*&miz&&-i ������s������^5wis^7Eis5<^^^ 1 1 -I i' s 1 It a i THE WESTERN CALL r ^^^^^V^^V^^V^^V^^W^^M^^V Mount Pleasant Livery NEW STABLES - - NEW EQUIPMENT 2545 HOWARD STRET 4 - PHONE 845 HACKS, BROUGHAMS, SURREYS, SINGLE AND DOUBLE DRIVERS. > Night Orders promptly attended to.

All permanent progress, in any, country or any sphere,/ must and can come only through education. The Meant of Education. In this ��������� matter we-propose that the provinces of Canada shall adopt the same method of informing and educating the people as that practised in the state of Oregon. An official pamphlet should be issued by the provincial secretary to every elector in the province at least ninety days before each election. This pamphlet should contain an exact copy of the measure or bill to be submitted to the people. Parties wising to file.arguments for or against any bill or.measure should be entitled jto-, do' so: ��������� T:h'ese arguments should be printed and published as part of the. official pamphlet and for which the parties submitting such arguments pay their proportion of the cost of printing and publication. The cost of insertion of arguments' in the Oregon official pamphlet in past elections has been approximately one hundred dollars per page. The incorporation of the official pamphlet into the scheme of Direct Legislation is one of the most important, and essential to the best success of the ^novation. If the legislature refuses to provide this, along with the other machinery, the people can easily possess themselves of it through the Initiative law, by means of Initiative petition. It is an interesting fact that Direct Legislation was first actively promoted in Oregon���������or at least forced into the sphere,; of practical politics���������by business interests aiid machine politicians who thought iney could easily control public opinion through the corrupt///influence of a subservient press, 7T:he official; pamphlets, to which anyone 'who wished to file an argument and pay the price, had access, along with other unexpect- !��������� ed developments, completely upset thei voters' lists in Manitoba than would be necessary to provide the machinery for Direct Legislation. This is a question- often asked by those who are not wiling to trust the people. Some imagine it will keep politics in a constant state of turmoil. These people forget that man is by instinct a conservative animal. Revolution and frenzy only come upon men and nations where the people have long dwelt under tyranny and oppression. Where free institutions are. men always take the course of least resistance. Men only go to dangerous extremes in the first taste of ungovernable freedom after the overthrow of despotic or oligarchic forms of government. The period after the French revolution .was a natural re action from the corruption and domination of one of the worst governments to which men have been known to submit. The result was worse tyran- ny-that of blood and war, of the doctrine of might is right���������with the mosl shameful disregard for human life and human rights the world has known tn the history of modern times. Safety lies in securing for the people the maximum of responsibility with the minimum of compulsion and the desire of s people to do right because they discern it to be right. This 'can be attained only through education. Direct Legislation is a most powerful educator. The people are/capable pf self-government. They always choose wisely upon the main 7questfon ;i������: submitted to them, after, sufficient education Direct Legislation will give them a chance. A List of Opinions. Direet Legislation is not a measure advocated by a peculiar class of people of peculiar opinions. It is advocated by men of all shades of opinion and all schools of thought.

The cost of government under the system of Direct Legislation is a point upon which those unaccustomed to its actual working ask many questions. The cost of submitting measures to the people is small. It is usually done at the general elections in the ordinary course of events and by the same officials who administer the present election laws. The cost of submitting large issues to the people is infinitesimal as compared with the cost to some large corporations of campaign' funds which are spent in effecting the election of the politicians with whom the corporations are in alliance. If it pays a corporation to spend money sufficient to finance election campaigns on behalf of their favorites, will it not pay the people to spend enough money to give effective voice to the management of their own business? More money is now raised annually in connection with the compilation of' Old Westminster Ave. near 7th ty # <-MHf-H4w4-H^H-H-K^^r^ ������~:~H~HS~H^-H-H-H-H-H-5-H^+ ^-^H^S������v-H^^^l-<"M"t";-^:"I-W-* Prof. Frank Parsons in Th.? City for the People: "The fundamental questions are: Shall the people rule or be ruled? Shall they own the government or be owned b.v it? Shall the laws passed and put in force be what the people want, or -what the politici ans and monopolists want? Direct Legislation answers these questions in favor of the people, and it is the only thing that can answer them in that way, except a miraculous conversion of the politicians to wisdom and angelhood.' Prof. Lecky, Conservative member of British parliament, and author of History of European Morals: "The Referendum would have the immense advantage of disentangling issues, separating one great question from the many minor questions with which it may be" mixed.

Lundberg. I beg to thank you and all who so kindly assisted me in this matter, and .specially mention Miss A. E. Jones, of [the Fairview Nursing - Home, who so kindly undertook to'receive.

In my opinion the next licensing. board should be composed of men of practical ability, earnest and cojisclen- tious in their efforts to build up a . moral and monumental dty, and men , who can be relied ou to do. their duty ���������vithout fear or favor,, preferably men ict supplying the goods of the* trade. Ha\i.ig had very considerable expe-- iience in tbe liquor traffic, and from.. carefully observing thee ourse of its- dispensation and use in Vancouver for five years, I am qualified, to ask. your consideration for License Commission, ership in January. I should seek election from and ont behalf of the whole community whose: interest it would be my ambition tc* faithfully serve. Briefly stated now, my platform will ')e for the general reform of the licjuor (raffle. If elected, my first action would be to start the wheels in motion to establish a law to prevent any member of the Licensing Board from supplying any licensee with the goods of trade. In the meanwhile I shall endeavor to prove, my ability for the position aspired to, by future publications ol my views. Yours respectfully, R. b'.

From the fact that I have purchased nearly $7,000 worth of your stock, you may conclude that the company meets with my approval in every sense. In my business experience I have not met a company with so many valuable assets to its credit as The Imperial Car Company. From its patent sleeping car, which is destined to mark a new era in the way of accommodation to the travelling public, to its city lots, its waterfrontage, and its subsidy from the Dominion Government, all combined to make it one of the safest and most profitable undertakings in my mind that has yet entered British Columbia. Trusting that your company will meet with the success it certainly merits, I remain, Yours verv truly, W. J. IIEWTON.

There always is a large amount of English capital seeking investment, not only in the colonies of this country, but in South America, and in recent The following is a most interesting article published by the "Monetary Times" regarding European Insurance systems. It is well worth studying. "In most of the States of Europe, with the exception of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Norway and Luxemburg, such insurance is not compulsory, but is a matter of mutual understanding between employer and employed. The following table shows the comparative amount of insurance paid out by the sick funds (Krankenkassen), and also gives the number of insured: INSERT TABLE Employer Pays One-Third. In Germany the employer pays one- third and the employee two-thirds ol the fees. Norway has a compulsory system for all branches of industry up to salaries of M. * 1,515 for cities, and up to M. 1,350 for the country districts. The system was introduced last year. The fees are borne for the greater part by the workmen themselves (six-tenths), two-tenths by the State, one-ten I h by the local authorities, and only one-tenth by the employer. Statictics compiled by the Im-' perial Statistical Office on Accident Assurance are .not nearly as complete as the fore going. Accident insurance in Germany comprises all workmen and persons employed in trade am' agriculture drawing a salary up t< Al. 3,000. OfGermany's sixty-thiee millions, In the year 1908, 23,700,000 persons, or 37 per cent, were enjoying the benefits of accident insurance. Contributions of the Federations ol Labor (Berufsgenossenshaften) amounted to M. 181,600,000, borne, too, by the employers. Expenses of Accident Insurance.
