The\nbill is entitled \"an act to vest in the\ncrown in the right of the province\ncertain agricultural produce for the\nrelief of the land upon which the\nsame is produced from assessment\nand taxation.\"\nThe effect would be, said Mr,\nMaynard, to eliminate the burden\nof taxation on homesteaders and\nothers who through no fault of\ntheir own found themselves unable to meet their taxes and impose the tax only upon those who\nhave sufficient crop to pay. This,\nhe declared, established for the\nfirst time in rural areas the principle of taxation according to\nability to pay.\nHAMILTON, Ont, (CP) \u2014Seventy-five per cent of Hamilton's 180\nmen living, at the municipal lodging house attend church regularly,\nsays Welfare Commissioner Archie\nKappele.\nGilbert Rowling, Amateur Sport\nBooster and Writer, Is Summoned\nSuccumbs  to   Relapse  of   His  Tubercular\nAffection; Identified With Sport .    4 I\nDevelopment in All Forms\nGilbert Rowling, organizer, booster and scorer of nearly every\nbranch of sports in Nelson for many\nyears, died in Kootenay Lake General hospital Thursday evening after a short relapse of a chronic illness.

Bayne of Kamloops, B.C.,\npresident of the British Columbia\ntrans-Canada association, told the\ntransportation bureau of Vancouver\nboard of trade today that Vancouver must \"fight\u2014and fight fast\"\nfor her share of the vast tourist flow\nwhich will become available next\nyear with opening of the Big Bend\nhighway link in the transcontinental route.\nDr. Bayne was one of about 80\ninterior British Columbia businessmen who converged on Vancouver\ntoday to discuss the need for completion of the British Columbia section of the trans-Canada highway\nso tourists would stay in the province instead of travelling through\nthe United States.\nHe invited Vancouver to look\neastward as well as to the south\nfor her share of Canada's annual\n$300,000,000 tourist harvest\nFrom Banff, Alta., to Vancouver was about 600 miles through\nthe finest scenic country on the\ncontinent, he said, but \"the rich\nflow of tourist dollars which may\nbe led toward Vancouver over that\nwonderful trail is not there for the\nmere asking.\"\nEastern Washington would like to\ndivert,the flow southward. He said\nadvertising \"must be started this\nyear\" to make tourists aware of the\nbeauties of the drive through the\nheart of British Columbia. Vital\nlinks in the highway chain through\nthe province would have to be improved if tourists who entered the\nprovince over the Big Bend route\nof the trans-Canada highway were\nto be kept from completing their\ntrip to the Pacific coast along\nUnited States highways.\nDr. Bayne said Banff hummed\nwith 100,000 tourist cars every summer. Last year only 300 of those\ncars entered British Columbia west\nof the Selkirk mountains, because\nthere was no r.oad connection. Next\nyear the way will lie open around\nthe big bend of the Columbia river.\n\"Canada is reputed to be Loing\nbetween two and three hundred\nmillion dollars a year because of\nroads which are not up to standard,\"\nDr, Bayne said.\nThe speaker said a member of the\nprovincial government told him\nthe government had no money for\nimproving sections of the trans-\nCanada route.\n\"Can you accept such a statement\nin face of recent statements by\nmembers of the legislature to the\neffect they are going to build a\nroad to Alaska, and further that they\nare going to annex the Yukon,\nprojects which will take up millions of the country's money to\naccomplish?\" Dr. Bayne asked.\n\"Is it consistent when to the east\nthere is a road all but complete?\nIs it wise to turn attention elsewhere until this, the most important\nroad ever built in British Columbia\nis completed?\nOBLIGATORY MILITARY\nSERVICE, AUSTRALIA?\nCANBERRA, Marcn 18 (CP-Havas) \u2014 Hon, H, V.

However, owing to early\nmariage, I did not have much education, And would like to know\nwhether you would give me some\ninformation on a school or home\nstudy course that would give me\nmore education.\nMy answer: \"I greatly admire\nyour zeal to improve your education. No one'needs, of course, to be\nashamed of having a limited amount\nof schooling, only ashamed if no effort is made to learn more. Every\none of us should keep on learning\nand we can, if, like you, we really\ncare.\nYou happen to live in a city which\nhas night schools; also a university\none may attend almost without cost.\nThose not so fortunate should, in\noffice of education, Washington,\npondence course, write to the U. S.\ncase they wished to take a corres-\nD.C., telling the kind of study desired, and asking for names and\naddresses of reliable correspondence schools, cost, and so on.\nREAD TO Y0UR8ELF\nBut you are young, mother, and\nwith those three little children to\ncare for, you cannot, for several\nyears, perhaps, have much time and\nenergy left for formal education.\nEven without attending a class or\ntaking a course your learning at odd\nmoments. It, will help your ease\nand forcefulness of speech to read\na great deal to youl- children, even\nfrom simple materials. I am sure\nreading fairy tales to my children\nwhen they were little improved my\nstyle.\nYou can read to yourself. You\ncan borrow books without cost from\nyour public library. How I wish\nmore mothers would use the public library! Talk to the librarian.\nTell her of your interest. She will\nbe more than glad to advise you\non a reading program.\nPlease do not limit your reading\nto fiction, and don't think you must\nbe able to discuss the latest popular novel. Have you noticed women flocking to talks on book reviews, so they might pretend to\nhave read a popular book and show\noff? Get some fact books and books\nthat you must read reflectively, including some books on matters of\nhome and parenthood.\nPoems That Lire\nA80NGF0RTHE8EA80N8\nWhen the merry lark doth gild\nWith his song the summer hours,\nAnd their nests the swallows build\nIn the roofs and tops of towers,\nAnd the golden broom-flower burn-\nAll about the waste,\nAnd the maiden May returns\nWith a pretty haste,\u2014\nThen, how merry are the time*!\nThe Spring times!

It seems the\neasiest solution to underarm hair.\nBut if you wish to shave the legs,\nor arms, that can be a success, too,\nDon't forget, though, that it has to\nbe done quite often, and don't wait\nfor a two-day beard before getting\nto work again.\nWe don't recommend using a\nrazor on the face, and by the way,\ndon't get in a frenzy over a little\ndown on your face. If it's dark,\nbleach it. There's a world of difference between down and superfluous hair.\nThe rubbing off school of thought\nusually use pumice or corborundum\npaper. This erases the hair with\na light pressure of your fingers, up\nand down. It stays away longer\nand gives a smoother finish than\nshaving.\nIf you are going in for thinning\nout your eyebrows, we think the\nplucking method is safest. Either\nhave it done or do it yourself. But\nby this .method you can see just\nhow much you want taken off and\navert any catastrophes.\nNi&ht\u00a3owns Hard to Tell\nFrom Evening Frocks\nLuxurious Lace-Trimmed Garments Closely\nResemble Formal Costumes in Materials,\nLines and Even in the Colors Used\nBy LISBETH\nIt Is getting pretty difficult to\ntell a nightgown from an evening\ngown\u2014if you come upon a nightie\nunexpectedly, and in its most glamorous moments. In fact, you could\nwear some of the latest sleeping\nensembles to a party and no one\nwould know you were not in formal\nclothes\u2014except perhaps a \"stylist\"\nor a clerk from the lingerie department.\nTo prove this fact, look at the\ntwo charming young women pictured here. Believe it or not, they\nare having an early morning confab in the boudoir (bedroom to\nyou) before breakfast. These are the\nsort of garments the luxury-loving\nwomen love!\nThe girl seated on the chaise-\nlongue is wearing a nightgown and\njacket ensemble, which serves very\nwell as a negligee. The gown, as\nwell as the jacket, is of sheer\nwhite crepe, lavishly trimmed with\nwhite lace. The little jacket is quite\nsimple, fastened with a single button\nat the waist, and cut with revers that\nare entirely of the lace, as is the\nfront yoke of the gown.\nNIGHTGOWN-\nDINNER DRES8\nThe second gown is, what the\nFrench designers call a night-gown-\ndinner dress. It is made of black\ncrepe, and smartly trimmed with\np_le ecru lace insertion about three\ninches wide. The deep collar, yoke\ntreatment and the short puffed\nsleeves all lend the illusion of a\nfrock.\nOf course there are many much\nless elaborate and, incidentally,\nwarmer, gowns and pajamas in\nwhich to put milady to sleep and\nto wrap her in when she wakes in\nthe morning. There is the good old\nouting flannel or cotton flannel\nnightgown or pajamas, for Instance,\nin pretty colors and as fluffy looking as can be\u2014a far cry indeed from\nthose shown, but decidedly comforting to most of us.\nThen there are, of course, all the\nin-between garments\u2014silk and cotton, flannel and velvet and what\nhave you. A printed velveteen collar and cuffs on plain velveteen\nlounging pajamas, the print in leopard spots, is a clever new one that\nwould please the college age girl\nor her older sister or the smart\nyoung matron.\nThe formalized house coat, fitted\nslightly but not severely, is popular.\nIt comes in novel flannels, slipper\nsatins, moires, rayon mixtures and\nstriped taffetas.\nSeated model wears nightgown and Jacket ensemble of sheer white crepe trimmed with white lace; standing,\nblack crepe nightgown-dinner dress with ecru lace Insertion.\nNot Many Free . . .\nTwo Widows Are\nLonely for the\nSociety of Men\nBy VIRGINIA LEE\nTwo widows around 40 wrote the\nUnusual letter which I am using\nfor today's column. They are pals,\nboth brunets, have good personalities, dress well.\nOne has two grownchildren; one\nhas a part time job, the other is\nout of work. The one who has\nthe children has been going with a\nman who is separated from his wife\nfor years, but won't get a divorce\nand says ho wouldn't marry the\nbest woman who ever came down\nthe street. The other has no boy\nfriend, although she meets a good\nmany people. She isn't interested in\nthose she meets, and doesn't meet\nanyone she can like.\nThe widow who has a man friend\nhasn't had very good luck with her\nbeau. He failed to keep a date he\nhad with her, came around drunk,\nand recently has not been to see her.\nShe misses him, she says, and she\nloves him dearly as he used to be\ngood to her. He has no steady job,\nbut has a trade. This woman believes that maybe it is her fault that\nthe man is no longer attentive. He\nhas been seen with another woman\nbut she doesn't take that seriously.\nAt any rate, these two women call\nthemselves \"TWO LONESOME\nPALS\" and want my advice.\nMEN NOT FREE\nOf course at your time of life,\nmy dears, there are not nearly as\nmany free men to pay attention to\nyou as when you were girls. But\neven so, no woman ever lived who\nfelt she waa too did to have a \"boy\nfriend,\" and that life was less interesting when she didn't.\nReally, I don't think much of\nthe man one of you has been going\nwith. You couldn't marry him unless he decided to get a divorce, and\nhe doesn't seem particularly desirable even as a companion. He must\nhave changed his mind about marrying again, as you say at one time\nhe talked of getting the divorce and\nmarrying. I am sorry to say that\nI think he probably has met another woman whom he wants to\nrun around with, so I wouldn't write\nor call him. I'd just leave him,\nalone.\nAnd as to the one who doesn't\nmeet the right kind of men, well,\nthat may be your fault because,\nlike many a younger woman, you\nfeel uncertain when with them and\ndon't make the effort to get to\nknow them. Generally speaking,\nwhen we don't care for people it\nis because we don't know them very\nwell. Maybe if you forget yourself\na bit and interest yourself in the\npeople you meet, you will find them\nmore interesting.\nAnd, finally, each of you has had\na mate, and so why feel too lonesome for male company? Be glad\nthat you have had this experience,\nand make yourselves happy going\nabout together and with other women. If nice men show up to escort\nyou about, enjoy their company,\nand if not, have a nice time anyhow.

Picon smiled. \"No. I do not\nthink they were all in It,\" he said.\n\"Then ... but hang it all, Picon,\nI don't believe youve solved it\nafter all. You may have discovered who had the best motives, but\nwhat none of you seem to think\nabout is that room.

Do you know sometimes lately I have almost begun to agree with\nWilliams, that there was something\nsinister .something occult?\"\n\"Sinister, yes. But there was no\nmagic here,\" said M. Picon, as we\nreached the outskirts of our own\nvillage.\nM? Picon left me In the village,\nwhere he was staying, and I hurried on towards the house alone.\nIt was dusk now and in the autumn breeze, which had risen with\nthe evening, the trees cracked and\nswayed. I was thinking how pleasant it would be to warm my hands\nover a fire and drink some hot tea,\nwhen I noticed something in the\nroad before me which at first seemed too shapeless for a human being, as though a sack of coals had\nbecome animated and was moving\nforward between the hedges. As\nI came nearer I recognized Mgr.\nSmith.\nI had noticed that people who\nhad not the advantage of a long\nacquaintance with him, often expressed a wholly superfluous pity\nfor the little man who had the\ntrick of appearing vague and ineffectual. So I was determined\nnot to sympathize with him over\nthe fact that both Lord Simon and\nM. Picon had got ahead of him,\nlest I should find myself looking\nfoolish when he revealed that he\nhad solved the problem long ago.\nBesides, Dr. Tate, the local G. P.,\nwas with him, and addressed me at\nonce. \"I have been telling our\nfriend here,\" he said, \"of a rather\ncurious legend connected with this\nvillage. I thought it might be\nrather in his line.\"\nI could see that Mgr. Smith was\nsmiling at that, but he made no\nreply and Dr. Tate continued. \"The\narchaeologists call it the story of\nthe Angel of Death,\" he said, \"but\n(Continued on  Page Seven)\nUse Sedative . . .\nVomiting Attacks\nNot Uncommon in\nHighstrung Child\nBy LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D.\nThere is a peculiar condition that\noccurs not uncommonly in children\nof the class more often seen in private practice' than in dispensary\nwork. It is called \"cyclic vomiting,\"\nand it has been said that to define\nthe disease is to describe it\nThe vomiting cbmes on In attacks, beginlng at the age of about\ntwo, three or four years. The child\nbegins to vomit in the morning and\nkeeps it up whenever food ls given.\nThirst soon 'develops and the child\ncries for water, but all water taken\nby mouth is vomited.\nThe attack lasts for a day or two\nIn most instances but may go on.\nfor some time. There is rapid loss\nof weight and dehydration is extreme. The child's condition may\nbecome very alarming.\nThe attack ends as abruptly as it\nbegan. The child asks for food,\ntakes it and retains it no matter\nwhat it is. The thirst is relieved\nby copious drinking, and recovery\nrapidly ensues, and health returns\nuntil the next attack, which may\nbe in a month or six months or a.\nyear.\nTo explain this condition, many\ntheories have been advanced. Acidosis has attracted the most adherents, and it is true that the blood\nof these children is on the acid side,\nbut acidosis rapidly develops in a\nchild deprived of carbohydrates or\nany starving child, and lt has \"been\nshown that the vomiting precedes\nthe acidosis.\nA reasonable suggestion that\ncomes from Bellevue hospital, New\nYork, Is that these are early manifestations of migraine. In a series\nof cases studied there was striking incidence in the parents, grandparents and collateral relatives. The\nchildren with cyclic vomiting all\ncome from highstrung, nervous\nfamilies.\nC0ME8 IN ATTACKS\nMigraine,' like cyclic vomiting,\ncomes in attacks, abruptly ushered\nin, may show predominantly digestive symptoms (they are often\ncalled by the victim bilious attacks) and leave abruptly. A number of children who had cyclic vomiting have developed migraines in\nadult life. (Also premature gray\ning of the hair, an observed fact in\nmigrainous people, without any explanation).\nIn treatment, the migraine theory of cyclic vomiting yields practical results. The attempt to treat\nan attack by supplying water by\nvein or under the skin is fruitless.\nAdministration of alkalis and flu-\ncose are both of little help.\nBut if the treatment It directed1\ntowards calming down the nervous\nsystem, as if it were to a state oj\nexplosion, the results are very different. A sedative, such is the bromides, will often abort ah attack in\na few hours. Bromides are very\ngood medicines for any form: of\nfunctional or nervous vomiting.\nTreatment between the attacks\nis directed towards teaching the\nchild to avoid excitement, emotion*\nal storms and fatigue.\nEverybody Likes It\nMl?\"*\n^     ~        W- BRAND\nEVAPORATED\nMILK\nPure ai the\nSnow on\nMountain\nPeaks.\n WW.WI Pfflis-js wu-nrwss r-\nNELSON DAILY NEWS, NEL80N.

This is sound thinking.\nUnder the heading, \"Canada's Part,\" The Tribune\nsays editorially:\n\"Suggestions in Ottawa dispatches that Canada's defence appropriations may be considerably enlarged by supplementary estimates are, it is to be hoped, well founded.\nCertainly the world situation, both in Europe and in the\nFar East, is such as to impel any government with a sense\nof responsibility to set Canada's house in order.\n\"Canada does not want to go to war, naturally. No\nenlightened people ever wants to go to war. Great Britain\ndoes not want war now or any time. But the British government, with the whole-hearted support' of the British\npeople, are preparing defences with almost feverish haste.\nPrime' Minister Chamberlain's one answer to Germany's\naggression in Austria was simply to promise to speed up\nBritish rearmaments with even greater vigor. Facing realities in the world today, that is the only sensible policy.\nDeplore it as much as we must, the fact is that because of\nthe policies of Germany, Italy and Japan international\naffairs are on a naked basis of military power. The only\nsafe nations in the world are those able to protect themselves. \u25a0   \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0\n\"How the world got into that conditions is something\nit is now unnecessary to argue about. There are those who\nsay it was because the ideal of collective security was not\npursued with sufficient earnestness. On the other hand it\nmay be argued that in pursuit of that ideal the democracies of the world allowed themselves to be placed in a\nposition of collective insecurity. It is an argument that at\nthe moment at least is meaningless. The fact is there for\nall the world to see.\n\"Canada's course should be equally plain. Whether or\nnot we are committed to any policy of co-operation in defence, at least in all reasonable' regard for our own safety\nwe have to have means of defence. They cannot be provided\nout of the appropriations we have been unwillingly making\nfor the past few years. We have at the moment really no\nguarantee of our liberty, our citizenship or our political\nprinciples.\n\"It goes against the grain for Canadians to spend\nmoney on armaments. It goes against the grain of the British people too. But there is realization in England that it\nis the only way to* face up to the present situation, and\nthere shouId be that realization, in Canada as well. We cannot improvise defences in the face of danger. If we are to\nhave any means of defending ourselves they will have to be\nprovided, and paid for, now.\n\"We need more aeroplanes. We need heavy guns. We\nneed stronger coast defences. And more\" than anything\nelse, we need trained personnel for all branches of the defensive services \u2014 more trained aeroplane pilots, more\ntrained officers and non-commissioned officers.\n\"That means more money. The $34,000,000 provided in\nthe estimates is less than half of the minimum required for\nadequate defensive measures which should be under way\nimmediately.\"\nNELSON DAILY NEWS, NELSON, B.C.-SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH_1\u00bb, 1981.\nCONTRACT\nsaelys mm.\nOur ideals are framed, not according to the measure\nof our performances, but according to the'measure of our\nthoughts.\u2014A. J. Balfour.\nBATTLE OF THE INCHES\nIf the mountain won't go to Mahomet, Mahomet must\ngo to the mountain. This seems to be the position of the\nUnited States respecting the lengths of the British inch and\nthe American inch.\nIt appears that a minor war has been raging over the\n. matter ever since United States authorities discovered that\nthe British inch was the smaller. They accordingly notified\nthe British authorities, and received the staggering report, \"Well, what of it?\" \"You must lengthen your inch,\"\nthey replied. \"Sorry, old thing,\" said the Britishers in\neffect, \"but nothing doing, as you say over there.\" What\nwith one thing and other, according to Dr. Lyman J.\nBriggs, director of the U. S. bureau of standards, the difference in inches has become \"intolerable.\"\nThe upshot is that the United States bureau is going\nto divide the inch up into a million parts and lop two of\nthe parts. The United States inch is now 25.40005 millimetres and the bureau will lop off the 5 and make the\ninch measure exactly 25.4 millimetres. Which may be\ndescribed as meeting the British more than half Way, as\nthe British inch measures only 25.399996 millimetres. So\npresumably the.difference of .0004 millimetre becomes tolerable, whereas the difference of .0009 millimetre isn't.\nIn these days of travail there is always something to\nworry about. Nothing is stable, nothing dependable any\nmore, nothing constant. But the British inch, it appears,\nwill remain steadfast to the end.\nOur country!

She clings to scarcity\nwhen plenty might be her lot; she is\nruled by an out-worn economic system in which want and unemployment are inherent. \"The hope of\ndemocracy is in reform of the old\nsystem\u2014because reform is the fruitful operation of the old unfettered\nspirit of progress.\" . . . Though the\nnew order had not .taken shape he\nbelieved the \"shadow of change\"\nhad begun to fall upon the old. The\ntruth of abundance, he said, is demanding acceptance. The National\nReform party would provide the\nplan \"we so tragically require\"\u2014\na plan for effective distribution aml\nfor whatever increase in purchasing\npower is required.\nProbably it was this speech by\nMr. Bennett's brother-in-law that\nthe prime minister had in mind\nwhen he spoke of \"the Conservatives\nand their new allies, the Social\nCreditors.\"\nIt is certainly a little bewildering\nto find Mr. Herridge believes thu\nNational Reform party to be a reformed Conservative party \u2014 this\nman of whom the Vancouver Province says, 'He has out-Stevensed\nHon. H. H. Stevens,\" who broke\naway and whose followers, it soys,\nwill find themselves \"far to the\nleft of even Mr. Woodsworth and\nhis C. C. F.\"\nThis seems to be an exaggeration.\nYet when Conservatives can sponsor such reforms, it should be an\neasy matter for parties already\nmore to the left to support them. If\neveryone can believe them in line\nwith his party's policy, their passage should be assured.\nThat the cycles of boom and\nslump are inseparable from the present system is becoming generally\nrecognized. The British prime min\nister has warned the people to pre'\npare for the decline he expects when\nthe rearmament program is complete and the house building activity returns to normal; though it\nis true Lord Nuifield has told\nthem not to worry; that there is\nsure to be something else to spend\nmoney on. So we have the usual\ncontradictions; the heavier the peoples' expenses the better off they\narc and when most of their needs\nare supplied they must expect poverty.\nThe well known economist, J. M\nKynes, has also given warning and\nwants preparations made to have a\nlarge increase of money immediately available .when the need comes.\nThe amount ftay be imagined when\nhe says the billions put out by the\nU. S. government to fight the last\ndepression were a move in the right\ndirection but quite insufficient.\nKEYNES SAYS MONEY\nIS DEBT\nIt was Keynes, who in a recent\nbook, reminded us that all money\nis debt; that the debts of the world\ncan never be paid, and that if in\nimaginations we think of them' as\npaid we must also imagine a world\nwith no money left in it, and the\nonly way to start again to be by\nnew borrowing.\nWe can hardly suppose then that\nthe huge issue of new money he\nrecommends is to be debt money\nborrowed at interest.:\nAt present the only way to issue\nnew money is to borrow it. What is\nborrowed can be returned, but the\ninterest is not borrowed, so cannot\nbe returned. Yet it is generally\npaid. How? It must be paid out of\nlater loans if activity in production\nand business is to continue. So\nlong as credit is expanding we think\nwe have prosperity. As soon as\ncredit ceases to expand or begins to\ncontract, interest can only be paid\nout of money previously borrowed\nwhich should be used to repay principal. The result is default, bankruptcies, stagnation, depression.\nMoney should be only a convenient medium through which to exchange services rendered and goods\npossessed for other goods or services more suited to our needs.\nPROFIT QUESTION\nHenry Ford Is among the latest\nto denounce the practice of treating money as a valuable commodity. Bankers say quite frankly that\nmoney is not wealth but only a\ntoken of wealth. Yet one hears it\nsaid, \"Money is entitled to a fair\nrental.\" No one thinks of renting\nany other pieces of paper, or tokens\n\u2014a railway ticket, or a marriage\nlicence.\nWhcii.-.'i man has spent his money\n\u2666 Q .1 10 9\n* K J 10 7\n4542\n+ 5.\ns.\n4742\n\u00bb83\n4Q763\n.\".Q J 10 0\n4K653\n\u00bbAQ5\n\u2666 K\n+ AK832\n,   (Dealer; South.

But if\nthe final result of all such borrowings were known, it can hardly be\ndoubted the balance would be in\nthe red.\nInteres is said to be based on the\nprofits of industry and production\nin relation to their real wealth in\nthe form of capital goods and current stock; plus insurance against\nloss to the lender and payment for\nhis time and running expenses. That\nmeans if industry was run entirely\non credit, there would be no money\nleft to pay the plus charges. And\nit means that though actually only\na partition of it is run on credit\nit takes the profits of a larger portion to pay interest. Therefore the\nnet profit of industry run partly\non credit must be far below the\ninterest rate. As for the practice\nof raising interest rates for the pur,\npose of- reducing or stopping credits\nthat are considered becoming unsafe, it is like making a road rougher and heavier for fear some of the\nshaky cars may break down.\nUnemployment is still the most\npressing problem in Canada\u2014the\nproblem that parties in opposition\nlike to bring forward and parties\nin office like to keep in the back\nGround and belittle.\nThe Vancouver Province quotes\nJohn Burns, first Labor cabinet\nminister in Britain: \"Beware that\nyou do not break the proud spirit\nof the poor.\" It gives extracts from\nthe latest review of the Canadian\nWelfare council, which is greatly\nconcerned at \"the continued docility and indifference reported among\nthe recipients of public aid,\" and a\n\"cringing subservience and an unwillingness to venture or to risk.\"\n. . . \"In certain quarters,\" it says,\n\"authorities sire tightening the reins\nand threatening to ride nard. . . .\n\"But ruthlessness alone will not\nrevive broken men. ... If personal\nenterprise and individual initiative\nare no preserved, the bulwarks of\ndemocratic life will slip away.\" The\nProvince's comment in part is: \"It\nwould be just as kind to let them\nstarve as to feed their bodies and\npauperize their souls.\"\nWhatever system is initiated for\nsocial betterment, it is certain laws\nare not enough\u2014there must be willing whole-hearted cooperation on\nthe part of the public. Governments\ncannot enforce unpopular laws. The\ndemocratic government of the United States could not enforce the prohibition laws. The despotic government of Afghanistan could not enforce laws to modernize that country. The dictators knew they could\nnot attain their end, the absolute\nstate, by force and laws alone. The\nintensity of their propaganda shows\nthe importance they attached to a\nwilling and enthusiastic public.\nSo if we want a Christian civilization founded on \"the Golden Rule\ninstead of the Rule of Gold,\" or\nJerry McGeer has put it, we must\nbe willing and eager to establish it,\nand practice it.\nOver the doors of the Royal\nExchange in London is inscribed\nthe text, \"The earth is the Lord's\nand the fullness thereof.\" But what\ngood does that do if we do not act\non it and if we say, \"business is\nbusiness\" and \"Religion is all right\nin its place\"\u2014namely outside?

Maybe it\nIs, or very nearly so, and yet again\nit may also be the medium through\nwhich a great deal of the good that\nis in the world has been accomplished.\nThe \"Story of Money\" as written\nby Norman Angell, will show that\nmoney as a medium of exchange of\nthis world's commodities has had\nan amazing history, beset by many\nvicissitudes, its uses and limitations\nrarely understood by even a few\nindividuals at any time;\nI am glad to see that Mr. Wigen\nhas come to realize trie power that\nmoney as expressed in spent energy has over unspent energy in\nthe control of world affairs. That\nthe present monetary system has be^\ncome wholly inadequate to meet the\nneeds of the world of today should\nbe admitted by any student of\nfinance and economics.\nTECHNOCRACY\nUNWORKABLE\nBut so far as I understand tech\nnocracy its advocates have not so\nfar brought forward a workable\nsubstitute and so we must make the\nbest'of what we have until a better\nmedium-, of exchange has been\nbrought out, acceptable to business\ngenerally; not that. the phrase\n\u2022Business generally\" ought to be\naccepted as tlie unquestionable all\npowerful supreme actuating motive\nof living, but customs and usuages\nare not easily or quickly over\nthrown or supplanted by newer\nsystems or processes.\nHowever, I am going to make a\nsuggestion, one that will sound radical to many people, but if the present monetary system, according'to\nMr. Wigen, is so very devilish as\nto be accountable for all the evil\nthere ia in the world today, and yet\ncannot be dispensed with because\nno one has as yet come forward\nwith a workable substitute, ethically faultless, and acceptable, then\nit is time that some one did something radical, to the old or present\nsystem to the end that we may be\nfreed of the uncomfortable feeling\nthat this beautiful God-made world,\nas to nature, is no better than the\nHades of futuristic attainment of\nthe wicked,\nWell can we put our finger point\non the real cau3e of our trouble.\nI think so, and it is this: the worth\nor value of any necessary thing\nought to be in that thing itself, not\nin our currency.\nTo go back to the time when it\nbecame evident that some form of\nmoney, or some generally acceptable substance containing \"Intrinsic\nworth\" could be used, naturally gold\nwas hit upon, and despite its abuses,\nhas served both well, and badly up\nto the present time. Firstly, the\ncoin or exchange piece was to contain so much gold, silver or copper,\nat a set price, independent of supply and demand. This is what I\nrefer to as intrinsic worth, or value.\nLatterly this worth or value has\nceased to be residuary, and equivalent collateral security in gold payable on demand, or exchange, is\nnow in vogue.\nWell, why not scrap this idea\nof money value, for good value?\nTrue, we run up against the law\nof supply and demand when we talk\nof price fixing, but only in regard\nto agricultural production, for in\nregard to industrial manufactured\ngoods prices vary little except in\nresponse to a change in tarrif rates.\nDemand can be guaged fairly accurately, or the factory closed on\nshort notice. Turning again to price\nfixing of agricultural prqducts, the\nacreage planted this year may yIeld\na bumper crop. Next year though\nas many acres be sown, and with\nequal care, the crop may be a near\nblank. Never the less, centralized\npurchase by the federal government\nwith supervision of carry-over from\nyear to year, would enable price\nfixing to be possible, baseld upon a\nreasonable cost of production basis,\nI7.

In no\ncase will the name of the nerson\nasking the question be published.\nin turn dependant upon\nstandard of living.i\nANNUAL PRICE-FIXING\nA change in price of any goods\nor services could be made annually,\nbut only if a survey made by competent men representing agriculture\nand labor, found that a change up\nor down was warranted by cost of\nproduction or living conditions having changed in the meantime.\nSumming up the change which I\npropose to be made in the way qf\nmonetary reform, and it is indeed\na radical one, I would switch the\nvalue from our money system to\nthat of any goods or services necessary to human welfare. Money\nwould no longer be worth anything\nin itself, but would become merely\na price ticket, indicating how much\nof any goods or services, it is proposed to effect an exchange.\nThe reason that I admit that this\nchange would produce a radical one\nis because it would put an end,\nonce and for all time, to all stock\nexchange operations, all brokerage\noperations, as now conducted, and\nI think investments as well. No\nlonger would men buy anything at\na price and resell -it in the future\nfor more than they paid for. Trading in futures would be no more,\nnor would there be any need to\nmanipulate the market up or down\nfor personal gain. Now this radical\nchange whicli I suggest can be\nmade in the way of monetary reform, of what Mr. Wigen calls \"Satan's system,\" it is a practical\nchange. It is possible; it has been\nproposed by some economists as\nfar as price fixing goes, but what\nseemed to be the unsurmountable\nobstacles, was the law of supply\nand demand, and trading in futures.\n'Another effect, or gain, of more\nbenefit perhaps than anything else\nso far mentioned is this: It would\nsolve the very complex problem\ncaused by the ever increasing gap\nbetween production and consumption. There would no longer be any\nunemployment problem, which according to a recent statement by the\nminister of labor, Mr. Rogers, would\nat present cost the people of Canada a hundred million dollars annually. Is it any wonder that I admit that this proposed change is a\nradical one, arid yet I challenge\nany reader to prove it is not practically possible.\nI admit that a difficulty lies in\nthe reluctance to any change in\ncustom and usage on the part of\nthe people, more especially vested\ninterests; yet I firmly believe it will\nbe in effect in the not distant fut-\nture, and strangely enough, perhaps the unemployment problem\nwill be the chief factor in hastening its advent, and to Mr. Wigen\nI would say by way of conclusion\nthat when this change in residuary\nvalues from money to goods, or\nnecessary services, takes place \"Satan will be the only person unemployed.\"\nA STUDENT OF FINANCE\nCanyon, B.C., March 11, 1938.\nS.

This, however, would not\nmean that opposition to them had\nbeen a mistake, but simply that\nthere would be nothing else that\ncould be done, except make the\nbest of a bad situation.\nAfter the huge initial expense, not\nonly for the vehicles themselves\nbut for the miles of concrete road\nthat would have to be built as a\nroute for them, buses or trolley\nbuses might (and might not) be\nmore economical than street cars.\nThey not only might, but would.\ngive a much more flexible service,\nas you suggest, and right there\nIs a basis lor the greatest opposition.\nBus or trolley bus service would\ndevelop, in Nelson, into a fair\n\u25a0weather service. Only at a great\ndeal more expense than is now required for maintenance as distinct\nIrom power cost of operation) could\nbuses or trolley buses operate on\nNelson hills in the winter.\nImagine a packed bus or trolley\nbus \u2014 especially a trolley bus\n\u25a0whose course must be within strict\nlimits and which is stalled the minute a variation in that course unhitches it from its trolley wire \u2014\ntrying to navigate on our slippery\nbill-roads.\nExcept lor mid-summer when\nLakeside,park beckons, it is in the\n\u25a0winter that patronage is heaviest on\nthe street railway. And it would be\nIn the winter that buses or trolleybuses would be either unable to\noperate at all or would run on a\nbadly disrupted schedule.\nLet us hope, if the idea is carried so lar as to appoint a committee as you suggest, that that committee investigate more than simply\nthe initial cost ahd the operating expenses. Le.t us hope they will be sure\nto look into the question of operating on hills of packed snow and\n(harp turns, lor it must almost go\n. rithout saying that if huge sums\nhave to be spent to pave the bus\nroute, then more huge sums to\neither widen all the streets on the\nroute or widen simply the turns, and\nstill more to keep the roads absolutely bare of snow in the winter, it\nIs going to cost more annually, than\nthe street cars.\nThere ls another point usually\noverlooked. It is no fault of the\nitrcet cars, as a mode of transportation, that the system lost, as you\n\u2022ay, $6000 in cash last year. The\neystem carried nearly 400,000 passengers last year (388,976 to be\nexact). That means a subsidy of\nonly H_ cent per year per passenger\ncarried.\nFor a population ol 6000, a yearly\n[patronage of 400.000 is wonderful.\nIt Is even more wonderful when the\narea covered by the system is so\n.tnall.\n, In the lace o( these figures it is\nobvious that it is the 5-cent fare that\nIrresponsible lor the loss, not any\nlack ol popularity or ol undue operating expenses. No city with the\nlimited population to serve that\nNelson has could operate any public\ntransportation system, street cars,\nbuses or trolley-buses, and make\nends meet on a 5-cent fare.\nIt is almost a certainty that, if\nbuses or trolley buses are used here,\nthe fare will have to be boosted\nand that will cut patronage.\nIn other words, if a town the size\ntion of being able to make a transportation system at a 5-cent fare, it\nhas to be prepared to subsidize it.\nThe whole thing, then, is not a question of being able to make a transportation system pay its own way\nin Nelson, but what sort ol system\nwill give the best and most regular\nservice, winter and summer. And\nany qualified transportation engineer will tell you the answer is\n\"street cars.\"\nWithout meaning to cast any reflections on the present engineering or mechanical staffs, it is suggested that il the city is prepared\nto spend the large amount of money\nnecessary to rebuild Nelson streets\nand purchase buses or trolley buses\ngasoline buses, of course would be\nsilly when Nelson is in the electric\npower business,) it instead use that\nmoney to modernize the street railway system.\nRerouting ol parts ol the system\nto serve new residential areas that\nhave sprung up since the tracks\nwere lirst routed 30 years ago, and\nextending to other now unserved\nportions, along with competent over\nhaul or replacement of the street\ncars themselves, seems the more\nlogical solution to the whole problem. This, of course, could only be\ndone satisfactorily by using some\nof the money that might have been\nused to substitute a bus service, to,\ninstead, employ an experienced\nelectrical transportation engineer-\none who would come in and spend\na year here studying the situation\nIrom all angles before making any\nchanges.\nFar-sighted Nelsonites who are\nconvinced modernizing the street\nrailway system is the best plan\nshould not sit back quietly now,\nwhile those who would scrap it are\nworking hard toward that object.\nWithout doubt those who would\nabolish the system are sincere, but\nit is also obvious they are mistaken.\n\"Save the Street Cars.\"\nNelson, B.

Do you really think that the papers should do\naway with these pages that are\nread by at least two thirds of the\nsubscribers because a lifeless person is over-exerted by having to\nturn over ah extra page because\nhe does not approve ol its contents? A great many people subscribe to a paper because it has\na  Sports Page.\nYou speak of the liner things\nin life. For those who do not like\nboxing, wrestling, etc., there are\nfiner things in sport. Take lor example badminton. You cannot say\nthat anything is more gracetul and\nworthwhile watching than a well-\nplayed game of badminton or tennis or the all time favorite golf.\nYour missive states that a lew\npeople are growing tired of the\nnoise created by sports enthusiasts.\nI am afraid you should have said\na very few, for I am sure that\nonly a. very few are so sadly afflicted. It would be strange, would\nit not, if. after centuries of a\nsports minded world through\nGreek and Roman empires and to\nthe present day that people should\nsuddenly decide that sports of any\nkind are unfit for the human race?\nIf they had decided this in one\nof those past centuries I am afraid\nthat neither you nor I would be\non earth for without the exercise\nwe all get from various sports the\nhuman race would indeed be a\npale sickly tribe, if any of it remained at all.\nAs to the educational value of\nsports, you have but to glance\ntwo columns past your letter in the\npaper to see an interesting item on\nthe educational value of football.\nThis education is not confined\nto football alone. Any of our popular sports such as boxla, hockey,\nbaseball certainly train one lor\nquick thinking and are certainly\ncharacter building!.\nWhat about, swimming? II there\nwere no sports we would probably never learn to swim. Think of\nhow many more people would be\ndrowned every year if they had not\nlearned to swim as a recreation,\nan exercise and a sport?     i\nYou    will    ask,    \"How    will\nthey drown  U they stay In'the\nhouse and study?\"\nI would answer, \"Possibly.they\nwere required to take a boat trip\nand the boat capsized.\"\nYour snappy comeback would\nprobably be 'Boat riding is a sport\nand people should have more sense\nthan to do it.\"\nI am afraid your grounds lor argument are very slim dear- \"Common Sense\" and I advise you that\nInstead ol being so alone with your\nthoughts, join the happy thrpng,\nthe .majority, who attend your\ncity's line civic centre, (and you\nare indeed lucky to be in such a\nsport-minded city) some night to\nwatch hockey, boxla, badminton or\nbasketball and before you,know it\nyou will find yourself cheering\nwith the rest.\nYours tor a happier life begin-\nlng today.\nBill Tonkin.\nMarch 17,  1938. .

I lind mysell unable to agree\nwith Mr. Common Sense.\nIs it not narrow mindedness to\nsay \"I do not like sport\" and then\nto classify sport as professional\nbaseball, hockey, boxing and loot-\nball As lor not knowing or caring\nanything about Braddock and Farr,\nas was mentioned by Common\nSense, is showing even greater narrow mindedness. There are all forms\nof sport. For those who don't like\none kind there is, without a doubt,\nsome other form lor him to enjoy.\nIUboxing or lacrosse are too rough\ntry a bit ol table' tennis or badminton. Or you might get up enough\nenergy to go on a fishing expedition.\nYou will lind that sport plays a\ngreat part in moulding characters.\nSelf minded people are poor sports\nin the field, while conceit is flaunted. And men get together as one\nfamily alter a hearty game on the\nsports grounds. It is often'the peo\nple engaged in the finer arts ol labor, as bankers or clerks, that re,\nquire sportsmanship mostly. What\nis a better way to get your \"daily\ndozen\" than in the sports field? I\ndo wonder where our physical bodies would bq without training and\nexercise.\nMr. Common Sense has lost half of\nhis life if he.has not learned to give\nand take with his fellowmen. Alter all to be able to give easier than\nto take is Indeed a fine art, If you\ndon't believe me try a little sport\nfor yourself.\nIt ls a fact that we do stress a\nlittle too much on sport in many\ncases. But to say that a city has more\ninterest in sport than in a local stu\ndent that has topped the honor list\nis not right. What did your own city\ndo to sending a student to the Coronation? Is this not enough example\nfor Nelson citizens to realize that\npeople are not absolutely blind to\na rising student.\nU Common Sense was to attend\na game in the civic centre at Nelson\nwould walk away in disgust denouncing this fine building as a\njunk pile? Would he say that Nelson is lacking in good citizens?\nJust as one must be trained to\naccept the liner arts so must he be\ntrained to realize sport If you could\ndrive a, tennis ball probably your\narms would be more capable of\nturning the sport pages of your\nnewspaper. You might even stop to\nread the headlines. Hoping, Common\nSense that your interests may\nbroaden. I thank you.\nL. H. LUND.\nSalmo, B.

And Hank should know,\nbecause he has hunted and guided\nior almost sixty years, man and boy\nup In the Pine Tree. State and on\nthe wooded slopes of the Adiron-\nBlcks.\n\"Why shucks, the jacks today are\n\u2022very bit as good as the old-timers,\"\nHank continued. \"Take the fellows\nWho bring the logs down out of the\nmountains, for instance. Imagine piloting a ten-ton truck down an ice-\ncovered hill as steep as a beaver\nslide and as crooked as a deer's hind\nleg! Then think of having ten sleds\nbearing a hundred tons of logs,\nsnaking along behind you. That\ntakes nerve, boys, and plenty of it.\n\"The jacks who drive the trucks\ntor the big logging camps turn out\nat three o'clock in the morning. By\nJour breakfast is over and they're\naway. Snow trucks are used mostly,\nand how they can pull when their\nWheels are replaced by tractors\nastern and skis ahead, in order to'\nclimb the snow-covered, narrow\ntracks winding up the side of the\nmountain tn where the logs are piled, ready for loading.\nTHE \"WHISTLE PUNK\"\n\"On the hindmost sled a lumberjack rides the topmost log. He's\ncalled the Whistle Punk, and his\njob is to watch the long chain of\nlifting and falling sleds, and see that\nthe bull bows or logs between the\nsleds keep them from running into\neach other and tangling up the\nwhole load.\n\"The truck snakes the long line of\nloaded sleds to the brink of the\nsteepest hill. As it skids to a stop,\nthe whistle punk shouts down to\nthe Road Monkey who is spreading\nsand over the icy tracks below.\nEvery bull bow is checked, and the\ndriver raises the hood to make some\nfinal adjustment in the innards of\nthe snorting brute beneath.\n\"The djiver will not budge until\nthe road is so slowed down with\nsand that the engine must labor to\nmove the load. A hundred tons\nweight behind a ten-ton truck! He\npulls out Sand flies, the truck roars,\nand the train gathers way. The\nwhole trick is to hold the twisting,\nskidding chain back as much as\npossible on the way down, for as it\nBathers momentum near the bot-\n.tom, all stopping control is lost and\narriving safely is wholly a matter of\n\"od steering and dumb luck.\n'Then there's the big river drive\ng the spring when the ice goes out\"\nriver below the road. When high\nwater comes it takes the lowest ones\nout first. They shoot out from beneath the others with a cracking\nnoise, and as those in front get going fast, some are bound to wing\nup on the banks. Jacks run along\nshore and shove these off with long\npike poles, but the real trouble\ncommences when the logs start\nto wing up against a rock in white\nwater. Others soon stop there, and\nin no time the whole stream jams\nabout what is called a centre.\nBREAKING THE JAM   . .\n\"Three of the best jacks of the\nlot go out in a North River boat, a\nsixteen-foot, flat-bottomed, round-\nhull affair. Two men row and the\none in the bow uses a cant hook to\ncatch on to the centre and swing\nthe boat into the eddy beside it.\nMore jacks on the bank hang on\nto the line from the boat's bow, so\nit won't be swept downstream when\nthe logs finally leap clear with a\nhissing noise.\n\"Don't get the idea the'lacks ride\nthose peeled logs downstream\nA log with tho bark on it affords\nsome foothold, and a few of the\njacks can stay up on even tho slipperiest peeled ones; but the boss\nSank went on, when we asked him  will not let them take the chance.\n.J-.11 \". morc' \"For'y miles up from Rome and\nCountless logs, all barked, have Utica,  N.Y., large companies still\n{Hied on the icy surface of the I operate big camps.

One day he returns to\nthe shop to learn that Old Man Silver, owner of the building, has ord,\nered Mr. Roden to move in 30 days,\nalthough he has a lease for two\nyears. Mr. Roden pretends to refuse,\nbut he fears that Mr. Silver will\nfind a way to make him move.\nThen two racketeers call on Mr.\nRoden and ask him to pay $40 a\nweek to a tailors' \"protective\" association, threatening his shop and\nhis daughter, Mary, if he refuses.\nMr. Roden knows such a payment\nwill put him out of business, but\nhe is afraid to go to the police. But\nDan secretly takes the story to\nDistrict Attorney Wheeler, who promises to investigate. On his way\nhome that night, Dan sees one of the\nracketeers skulking around the shop.\nFollowing him into an alley, Dan\nhas an encounter with the man,\nwho tosses a stench bomb Into the\nshop and escapes. A policeman recovers the stench bomb before the\nclothes in the shop are damaged, but\nMr. Roden is more worried than\never. The racketeers fail to appear\nthe next day, and when Dan learns\nthai they have not approached any\nother tailors In the neighborhood\nhe is completely mystified, Mr\nWheeler has also been unable to\nfind out anything about the tailors' protective racket.\n(Now Go On With The 8tory)\n_   -   \u2022\nINSTALLMENT 7.\nDan fully expected the racketeers\nto return to the shop within the\nnext day or two, and Mr. Roden\nwas so sure they would that he\nhad the money ready to pay them.\nBut two days passed, and they did\nnot put in an appearance.

He couldn't\nunderstand why the racketeers had\nnot been back. He couldn't understand why the other tailors In the\nneighborhood still reported that they\nhadn't been approached by the two\nmen. He called Mr. Wheeler and\nlearned that the district attorney's\ninvestigators had still.found no\nother trace of a tsilors\\ protective\nracket, and he couldn't understand\nthat.\nHe was called to the nearby police station, and there he repeated\nthe story, of the stench bombing.\nBut the police didn't take it very\nseriously.

Kimberley Dynamiters walking away with the Kootenay title, has some interesting\ncomments in his Lethbridge Herald\ncolumn:\n\"Other than the Elks' display of\nfight possibly, the most outstanding\nincident of the series (Trail-Kimberley Juniors) was the officiating of\nMike Welykocky. The local papers\nboldly printed yarns of Mike's poor\nrefereeing that marked.the second\ngame. In the third game things got\nso warm for Michael that the judge\nof war demanded police protection.\nHowever the refereeing was not so\nlousy as fans made out. If a referee ever satisfied Kimberley fans\nthen he is in line for the Nobel\npeace prize.\"\n\"Bet your extra dimes that the\nAllan cup stays in the east. As a\nparting nightmare I wonder if anyone ever gave thought to the idea\nthat Nelson Leafs really gave the\nSmoke Eaters One grand battle.\"\n\"A Kimberley hockey enthusiast\nwho saw the Luscar Indians and\nCalgary Rangers playoffs, favors the\nAlberta champions to stop the\nSmoke Eaters. He says that the\nRangers have the ability to protect a one goal lead. This fact will\nbe quite a novelty in the Kootenay\nleague but we like the Smoke Eaters for the first series. Reason?,\nMore power, down the line.\n\"I see by the almanac where Herman Thole is looking, over the\nWinnipeg and. Brandon junior talent. Wonder if Herman ever gave\nthe \"four import clause\" a thought;\nNo additions as yet to Dynamiters\ndespite rumors to the contrary. I\nsee where Pat Hill has left Cole?\nman. Pat will be missed. Fans were\nwondering whether, it was a playoff\nor the second halt of the league\nschedule. P.

One night outside St. Paul a\nioux Indian smashed a window in\nthe Schubert home while James was\nasleep, apparently attempting to kidnap him.

The Schuberts decided to join\na party of adventurers from Ontario\nfor the trek across the mountains.\nThey left Fort Garry on June 6,\n1862, and reached Kamloops Sept, 9.\nThe party of 150 averaged about 10\nmiles a day.\nFrom there the group divided,\nhalf party finishing the trip overland, the Schuberts and other travelling down the turbulent Thompson river on a raft.\nYoung James was carried half the\ndistance from Fort Gary to Kamloops by Peter Mclntyre, a giant\nScot who died in February, 1925, at\nOliver, B.C.\nOnly known survivor of the\nRocky mountain trek is August\nSchubert of Armstrong, B.C., who\n\u25a0was six years old when the long\ntrip was made. Another sister survived James Schubert\u2014Mrs. Henry\nSwanson of Armstrong\u2014but she was\nborn a few days after the gold-\nseekers reached Kamloops.\nJames Schubert moved to Tulameen in 1913, and sold out the store\nhe operated there in 1928. Since\nthen he has ben in semi-retirement.\nHe was considered an authority\non the early history of the Cariboo\nmining district, and was elected an\nhonorary life member of the Native\nSons of British Columbia in 1923..He\nwas honorary president of the Sim-\nilkameen Historical association.\nSurviving are his widow; a son,\nGeorge, in Princeton, B.

J. C. Ryan of Spokane, who has interests\nin the Kaslo-Slocan district knowing the extent to which Canada\nmay be affected, writes as follows to the Nelson Dally News:\nTo the Editor.\nSir:\u2014As you, no doubt, remember I have been operating in the\nSlocan country from the very start\nand still have great mining interests in the McGulgan Basin. Needless to say, I have heavy investments carried over from years past,\nI am therefore, as well as other\nmining men interested in silver-\nlead and zinc production in British\nColumbia and. I am very keenly\nwatching the reciprocity and proposed treaty that is. going to be\nplaced under consideration by the\npresident of the United States between this country and Canada.\nI am including a copy of resolutions passed by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce which is in effect a copy ot the same rules passed\nby the Northwest Mining Men's\nassociation of which I have been an\nactive member for many years.\nAs an example of the length to\nwhich this matter ls carried, at today's luncheon our former presl\ndent stated that the mines in Can\nada were paying much lower wages\nthan were paid in this country. I\nImmediately challenged this statement, declaring that the mines in\nBritish Columbia were paying exactly the same wages as were being\npaid in this country, even though\nthe price of lead, zinc and silver is\nmuch lower. Nevertheless, I am\nof the opinion that a reduction will\nbe made on lead and zinc. I might\nadd that all interests are protesting; the lumbermen, the cattlemen,\nthe wool growers and even the farmers are protesting against the\nwheat tariff reduction.\nIf we want to get any benefit\nin the reciprocity treaty and it\nseems only fair not to be selfish\nand expect it to go entirely to one\ncountry, the Canadian people should\nbe duly informed.\nAs I have mining interests in this\ncountry I think I am justified in\ntaking the stand I do in this matter.\nIf this information is of any benefit to you, I am glad I am able to\nfurnish it.\nJ. C. RYAN.\nSpokane, Wash.,\nMarch 15,1938.\nMr. Ryan attaches a copy of the\nfollowing letter to him from Walter\nJ. Nichols, chairman of the mining\nbureau of the Spokane Chamber of\nCommerce:\nSPOKANE CHAMBER  OF\nCOMMERCE TAKE8 ACTION\nDear Mr. Ryan:\nNegotiations between Great Britain and United States are under\nway. One of the important tariff\nreductions being seriously considered is that on lead and zinc from\nCanada. Mr. Ford ls now in Washington, D. C, and is emphasizing in\nevery letter the seriousness of the\nsituation,\nThis matter is entirely in the\nhands of the State Department and\nalthough we have made a strong\nrepresentation, we still must make\na stronger one. Wires should be\nsent to our congressional delegation\nand particularly to Secretary of\nState Hull. He must be made to\nrealize just what a reduction in the\nlead and zinc tariff would mean to\nour mining industry.\nProbably you are familiar with\nthe facts, but here is some more information. Use it if you can.\n1. Mining and treatment of lead\nand zinc in Washington, Idaho and\nMontana amounted roughly to $30,-\n000,000 in 1937.\n2. In 1936 the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. produced 251,-\n387,628 pounds of zinc. In 1937 this\nwas increased to 285,200,000 pounds.\nIn 1936 they produced 365,081,511\npounds of lead and in 1937 this was\nincreased to 413,000,000 pounds. Both\nlead and zinc represent capacity\noperation.\n3. The combined lead and zinc\nof the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. averages around 20 per cent\nmetal with considerable silver, while\nin the Coeur d'Alenes the average\nis only around 12 per cent with a\nsilver content of three ounces to\nthe ton that barely pays one-half\nof the mining cost.\n4. The Consolidated Mining ts\nSmelting Company has a standing\nore body of 100 years, while in the\nCoeur d'Alenes we will be fortunate\nif it lasts longer than 30 years.\n5. In 1937 zinc imported into the\nUnited States totalled 96,418 tons\nwhich is the greatest importation in\none year in the history of the country.\n6. A reduction in the tariff will\nresult in the closing of many of\nthe United States mines \u2014 they cannot compete with the lower production cost of the Consolidated \u2014\nwhich, among other, will affect\ntwenty-five thousand people in the\nShoshone County who are dependent solely upon the successful operation of the mining industry of that\narea, representing an annual payroll of $11,000,000.\nThese are just a few high-points,\nYou probably know many more.\nMany have written to our congressmen and senators \u2014 that's fine, but\nit's not enough. We simply must let\nthe Department of State know how\nwe stand. Numbers will count.\nThe Northwest Mining association\nand the Mining bureau have sent\nbriefs, wires and letters. We're sending more every day. But we need\nfurther help from you. Remember\nthe closing date is March 12th, so\nsend air mail letters and particularly wires to Hon.

Both\nDominion Problems, Farris Tells\nCommission; Assets Being Wasted\nBy CARL REINKE\nCanadian Press Staff Writer\nVICTORIA, B. C, March 18\n(CP) \u2014 In advocating that the\nDominion take over full responsibility for employable unemployed,\nSenator J. W. deB. Farris today\ndeclared before the Rowell commission that unemployment had\nattained such dimensions that it\nrequired treatment for the \"peace,\norder and good government\" of\nCanada.\nIt was now not a sectional, seasonal or temporary problem but a\ndefinite national condition requiring treatment on a national scale,\nhe said.\nRAILWAY PROBLEM\nAs British spokesman, the senator also proposed that the Dominion or the two railway companies\nshould take over British Columbia's own railway problem, the $78,-\n000,000 Pacific Great Eastern Railway, running 348. miles from\nSquamish (35 miles from Vancouver) to Quesnel on the Fraser\nRiver.\n-He suggested the railway could\nbe profitably extended to provide\nthe Peace River country with a\nnecessary outlet on the Pacific, to\nthe general advantage of Canada.\nSenator Farris yesterday wound\nup the major portion of the government's submission consisting of\nits argument for special consideration and especially the turnover\nof the entire income tax field to\nthe province.\nWhen Chairman N. W. Rowell\nasked where else the Dominion\ncould obtain another $100,000,000 to\ntake the place of its income tax\ncollections, the senator held that\nwas a problem for the Dominion\nto solve. \u2022     ....\nThe Dominion had invaded the\nincome tax field and so created\nthe difficulty for the province, so\nit was its responsibility to find the\nanswer, he argued.\nThe senator protested particularly against the federal Income tax\nas beng \"contrary to' the spirit of\nConfederation.\" While the British\nNorth America act gave the provinces ownership of natural resources, the Dominion was taking as\nincome revenues derived from depletion of those assets, he said.\nWASTING  A88ETS\nFrom the standpoint of future\nrevenues of the province one had\nto consider that 54 per cent of its\ncurrent revenue was directly based on wasting or wastable assets,\nhe said. ,     _\nIn this connection Senator Farris stated total value of production in agriculture, fisheries, forest and mines in 1936 was $188,-\n000,000 of which $72,000,000  came\nSMYTHE'S\nWORM SYRUP\nMOTHER'S FAVORITE\nFor the Kiddles\nPrescription Druggist\nPhone 1  \t\nPHONE 815\nfor better and prompter service In plumbing repairs and\n\u2022Iterations.\nVIC GRAVES\nMA8TER PLUMBER\nRoyal Export\nBeer\nWill meet with\nthe approval of\nthe entire  party.\nwm\nKootenay\nBreweries\nLimited\nThis advertisement is not published\nor displayed by the Liquor Control\nBoard or by the Government of\nBritish Columbia.\nThe Family\nSays . \u2666 \u2666\n\"It's a high spot in the\nweek when we can get\ndown to the L. D. for dinner\nL. D. CAFE\nfrom forest Industries, $54,000,000\nfrom mine., $46,000,000 from agriculture and $16,000,000 from fisheries.\nHe argued revenue .from forests was not true Income but sale\nof capital resources could not be\nreplaced only in part. On the basis of the present cut, accessible\nDouglas Fir resources would be\nexhausted in 12 or 15 years. There\nwere large stocks of mature hemlock and cedar but when these\nwere gone coast Industries would\nbe dependent on second-growth\nand a recent examination showed\nat least 5 per cent of the cut-over\narea was not reforesting properly.\nREORGANIZATION^ FORESTS\n\"It is of vital importance that\nour forests should be organized\non a permanent basis to maintain\na continuous export of forest products on a maximum scale.\"\nH_ said only 109,738,000,000 feet\nboard-measure, or less than half\nthe province's timber, was actually accessible at present.\nReverting to the tax issue, Senator Farris said the drain on British Columbia from various tax and\ninterest levies was about $100,000,-\n000 a year. In 1935-36. for example, provincial expenditures were\n$23,000,000, municiDal expenditures\n11128,000.000, and Dominion taxes\nfrom British Columbia $27,000,000\nor a total of 78,000,000. Federal\ngrants in that year were $1,625,-\n000, A considerable amount left\nthe province in interest charges.\nThe province required $10,000,-\n000 additional revenue above the\n1935-36 level if it was to meet its\nrelief charges and sinking fund\npayments, he said. (Revenues are\nup about $7,000,000 this year, it\nwas later stated.)\nRELIEF PROBLEM\nOn the relief question, Senator\nFarris submitted that unemployment presents three distinct problems: the immediate problem of\nrelief to the needy, unemployment\nInsurance to provide for the future, and an economic problem of\nreducing unemployment by providing employment. The three required coordinated treatment which\nwould only be provided by the\nDominion.\n\"The needy of today are the result of economic and industrial\npolicies of the past. The employed of tomorrow will be indebted\nto the economic and industrial policies of today,\" he said.\nTRACES P.G.E. HISTORY\nAfter tracing the history of the\nPacific Great Eastern Railway\nCompany from 1912 to 1918 when\nthe provincial government was\ncompelled to take it over under\nterms of its guarantees, Senator\nFarris proposed the \u2022 railway\nshould form part of the Canadian\nNational Railways or be operated\njointly by the Canadaian National and the Canadian Pacific railways.\nNot only was this the only possible  solution  of  the  problem  of\nNelson Man Succumbs at Coast\nHerbert L. Howe, who recently left Kotitenay Lake General hospital,\nNelson, for treatment at Shaughnessy Military hospital, Vancouver,\ndied at Vancouver Thursday night. He was twice president of the\nCanadian Legion in Nelson, and before moving here a few years\nafter the war, lived in Toronto, where he edited the Tin Hat, a\nperiodical for veterans. In the last provincial election he ran as a\nSocial Credit candidate in Nelson-Creston riding.
