He explained his  being there by saying that he  had bcen called upon while in  Vernon that afternoon by a lady  friend of thc Women Voter's  League, who urged upon him  the necessity for his coming to  Enderby to speak to the audience in the temporary absence  of Mrs. Smith, whose arrival  had been delayed by dillicull  train service.  Mrs. Robson, president of lhe  local Women Voter's League,  presided, assisted by Miss Seymour. The clever hand of Mrs.  A. McPherson was noted in the  artistic floral decorations of thc  platform.

Her remarks along this line  rtkj not sit well on the breast of  Premier Oliver, and the first thing  he <|ic| on rising to speak was to  proceed\" to set the chair right. He  had known Mrs. Ralph Smith some  30 years, he said, and assured the  audience that she did not find herself beset by any such nn ami ience  os the chairman imagined. On the  contrary, he said, Mrs. Smith had  been in politics as partner with her  husband, during his long term of  service, both as member of lhe Provincial House ancl at Ottawa.

And  when Mrs. Smith was elected to  fill the scat vacated hy her husband  she was sympathetically received,  and her cood services on the floor  of the House were appreciated by  his ministers, and all members of  Parliament, recardless of political  creed or coloring.  This opened thc way for the  Premier to tell of thc many amending Acts which had been put on  the statute hooks hy his government in response to thc appeals of  Mrs. Ralph Smith.

Another  piece of legislation, he said, which  could be laid ato the door of Mrs.  Ralph Smilh, was the widow's pension act which is in the making although   not   yet   law...      c-  .Mr. Oliver, speaking for his gov-  positioh women have taken in the  industrial world, Mrs. Smith referred to the disposition on the  part of some to shoo them back  into the position they held before  the war.

THURSDAY, DEC.  1, Hil9  TACKLING QUESTION IN LARGE WAY  As a result of lhc combined meeting of tbe  municipalities of the Okanagan Valley lasl week  in Vernon, attended by representatives from Enderby, Armstrong. Vernon, Coldstream, Peachland, Summerland and Pcnliclon, suggestions of  a sweeping nature were presented to the commission of enquiry into municipal sources of revenue last Saturday morning, sitting at Vernon,  attended by Premier Oliver and Hon. J. Hart,  minister of finance. The resolution containing  the suggestions was presented by Mr. A.\" O.  Cochrane, solicitor I'or tlie municipalities, and  calls upon the Government lo undertake tbe full  cost of education in Ihe public schools and recites tbe fact that Uic burden of providing educational facilities is yearly becoming heavier and  has reached a stage when many municpalities  .\"wiiPiind in impossible to .finance their schools  next year unless Ihey arc afforded greatly increased sources of revenue.  Other suggestions presented to the commission  by Mr. Cochrane on behalf of- these.municipalities  were: A request for a substantial percentage of  the automobile license fees collected by the Government; a proportion of the amusement tax;  legislation' authorizing municipalities to assess a  tax of two cents per gallon upon gasoline used for  motor trallic.only; tbat a.s an additional source of  revenue a reasonable proportion of tbe personal  properly lax be returned lo lhe municipalities.  In making these suggestions lo lhc commission  of enquiry, lhe Okanagan municipalities arc seeding to handle the question in a large way. While  the suggestions may sound radical'at first bearing  the justice of eacb must appeal to anvonc of fair  mind after ils fuller understanding. A fuller discussion of the proposed changes\"will follow in  subsequent issues of this paper, and we hope in  are paying for the war.

You remember, do  you not, some few months ago, a prominent  financial man of Coiiada, a bonk president, speaking at the annual meeting of the shareholders of  bis bank, said it was only just and right that the  costs of the war should not be taxed up against  capital, but that they should be paid by the consumer, as by this system everybody would pay  his1 share\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe capitalist no more than the wage-  earner. This policy was laid down at that time  and has since been adhered to, and will be. The  costs of the war havc to be met, and tbe costs are  going to be paid by the consumer. The government collects tbe excess profits tax from the profiteer, and the profiteer collects the money from  lhe people\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtbe consumers.  We may have all the commissions appointed  we have a mind to. They will not materially  alter conditions. The Government needs thc excess profits tax and there cannot be an excess profits tax without excess profits, and there cannol be  excess profits if the consumer is not forced to  pay prices that are in excess of what they should  be. Just so long as the people go no farther than  make complaint about profiteering there will bc  nothing done other than appoint commissions to  inquire into what everybody already knows. So  let us make up our minds to this one big fact that  excess profits arc here and here to stay, for it is  out of these excess profits that thc Government  gets its big rake-off.  Everybody is in favor of the excess profits tax,  so wliy*complain. The Government is in favor of  it because it means more than a hundred millions  increase in the annual revenue; the big fellow is  in favor of it because be has the Govern men I's  sanction for charging excess profits, and the little  fellow'is in favor of it because he thinks the Government is getting back some of tlie money the  big fellow forces him to pay.  And all the while we forget that the world is  undergoing a famine more serious than ever has  been experienced in centuries.

Onc of the most important and ambitious features of New Zealand's reconstruction program,  is the development of a state-owned supply of  electricity for the whole country.    It has been  estimated that there is sufficient water-power in  the Dominion of New Zealand capable Jof economic development, to product 3,822,000; horsepower, which is more than four times tliat available in the whole Australian continent.   !At present there are 66 generating plants in operation?  producing in  the aggregate 58,000 horsepower  and supplying 55,000 factories,' dwellings, etc.,  with power-    Many of them are small;., water,  coal, gas and oil are all used to generate electricity.   The two largest plants, are ownetj by the  government.   One is tbe first unit in the national  program; the otber was recently purchased by  the government from tbe Waibi Gold Mining  Company so tbat llie power beyowl tbe company s neccjs may be sojij to tbe puptic  Last week the New Zealand parliament passed  a bill authorizing loan* up to 134,000,000 for  hyrdo-e|ectric schemes. Tins will not complete  the plans already adopted, but it is sufficient to  enable tbe government to prosecute tbe work for  some years.  Through ignorance of its other uses we have  come to loo|c upon electricity only in relation to  its application for power and light purposes, but  the war proved to the world tliat it can be applied  in the large-scale production of artificial nitrogen  compounds for the purposes of peace as well as  those of war.

If the Government would supply the juice and make know,,  bow to apply it in the manufacture of nitrogen  compounds', nitrogen ^plants would spring upall  over the country, employing hundreds of men.  supplying cheap fertilizer to farmers,  forming  an unlimited   supply   of  explosives   in   time  of  war and utilize some of our natural resources  now going to waste.

We bave invaded the habits  of the workingman, and this is what has hap?  pened: We have upset tbe man; unsettled him.  Uprooting one habit uproots others.\"  Gompcrs asserted the man who formerly was  satisfied to go home at night to converse and  read, bas become discontented and restive. He  now goes into thc streets to meet olher men restless nnd, like him>elf, unsettled. Thcy rub togelher their mutual grievances and lhere are  sparks and sometimes fire.
