BATES. Editor and Proprietor FRIDAY, JUNE 2. 1922 Premier Oliver at Ottawa 1 ing the fight of his life before the railway commission in regard to the ,reduction of freight'rates. He goes so far as to say \"Restore our rights -.or return our lands.\" He might oven \" go a little further if hotter freight rates are not given the province and say \"Give us rights or give.us separation.\". Premier Oliver is taking the matter seriously indeed but he is not the first premier of this province who has seen that the province is. not getting a square deal from the powers , that he at Ottawa. Premier Oliver was one of those who did not agree Avith the late Sir Richard McBride in his fight for what was known as \"better terms for U. C\" They say it, was \"childish\"' of Sir Richard to ' get up and walk out, but prolir.blv the then premier was in about the same state of mind as Oliver was this week when he gave expression to the above.words credited to him. In it Ave see a veiled threat , that' will meet -with .the approval of many people of this province. The, light between .the east and the west of Canada has probably begun with the question of freight rates.

In less than a quarter of a century the west will have the control by majority in- Canada, and it is up lo the east to give a fair deal at the present time, or as near as' possible. so as to prepare for that day when the hub of control Avill be in . the hands of the west. The Avest is a great country and is gradually being filled with men who, being-surround- ed with freedom and .privileges, learn to demand that which is. coming to them. Premier Oliver knowi, that in the interest of the develop- '' ment of the west there should, be more equitable freight rates. It must have been a big shock to the easterner when he-found out that Vancouver Avas the largest shipping port of the dominion. There are other surprises in store yet for the people, of the east. Our hope is that Premier Oliver will return west having accomplished something in the fight he has underta'ken in regard to . the freight rates. This is not a political matter. It is a matter that comes with the rapid development of the west, and the east hates to acknowledge the facr.. \"East'is' east and Avest is west\" is again a truism. s mok-1 embraces all denominations.

The big fight of Vancouver for a drydock has probably .ended for tlu> present time. Is it a punishmen! on British Columbia resulting from the last election? But why do it? Like some ether matters it is a question of politics' probably. The Nicomen Island is.another example of politics, but why punish the Fraser Valley? It returned a Liberal, who is a faithful follower of the Mackenzie King government. .But unless Ave are mistaken B. C. will get, very little at the hands of the present government. The.east is stilrred up in matters' concerning the west. The east has the controlling influence with the government and fior that reason all plums will go to the east. But Vancouver could not expect to get the drydock at a time when one is being.built at Victoria. The government' deems it wiser to carry out it is concerned. The late government, saw to that, and now the King gov- ernment deems is wiser to carry olut that obligation to Victoria rather than drop the work there and build a drydock at, Vancouver instead. Years ago in Dewdney there used to be a nice little fight going on about where the trunk road should be built. Every reader of this paper is in possesion of the facts of the case. The same little busybody, is busy again between Vancouver and Victoria. Until this is' stopped all governments will follow out the course mapped out by itself rat!,pr than that which the people wish to map out for them. We may hate to see it so, and we may wish that a According' to Herman Rosenfield. advertising manager of Sear.s Roc- buck-& Co. big Chicago mail order house, this, firm has one bureau employing several persons whose duty it is\" to read every week the country newspapers from all over .the Unite-.!

This always brings results that are far < in excess . of those obtained by the same effort put forth in territory where the merchants advertise.\" THE LAST GREAT WEST The Last Great West is' the popular title given to the Peace River country of \"Alberta and British Columbia. The Home Missionary is entering, the district along Avith the homesteader and the rancher. The Presbyterian Home Mission Superintendent for Northern Alberta, Rev.' Wm. Simons, recently made a trip of exploration- to Fort Vermillion, 300 miles north of Peace River, and found that settlement extended, in some places, forty miles back from the river, and that 2,000 people are already settled northwest of Peace River. Many of them are 3 00 rniley from the nearest doctor and a similar distance from, the nearest minister. This single' fact illustrates the need of mission work in the vast hinterlands of the Dominion.

Euler, Mr. Oliver said he thought the discrimination was fairly general against movement from Vancouver eastward. The bringng back of the Crow's Nest agreement without revision would practically break down many British Columbia industries by closing them out of all but their own provincial markets. Hon. R. J. Mans.on asked if, the movement of empty cars west from Fort William had not a bearing on westbound rates. Mr. Oliver agreed with this..

Mr. Fielding \"takes us nowhere leads nowhere and settles' nothing, but on the other hand adds doubt and uncertainty,\" Sir Henry Drayton opened tho attack on the government's proposals in the House of Commons yesterday. He reviewed old Liberal pledges, including the long free list drawn up at the Liberal convention here in 1919 and the projected fifty per cent, increase m British preference, and dwelt' on the serious moral effect of failing lo carry out such pledges. Those who had been depending on Mr. Fielding for reductions in the tariff had been leaning on a broken reed he suggested. Sir Henry criticised the interference with the Marking Act and the depreciated currency section of the Customs Act pointing out the necessity of the latter for the protection of the Canadian producer against the flooding of Canadian markets with cheap German goods. To emphasize this point he quoted reports showing that the German mark has two standards of value, one domestic and the other for international use. making it impossible for any outside producer to compete with German manufacturers. . Despite the fact that tariff reductions under the new budget are almost trifling, Sir Henry was not sure that they might not prove serious for the implement industry. The real .trouble with Canada,- economically, is the one-sided character of its trade with the United States\", whica this budget would merely accentuate iu some degree, ably seconding the effects of'the Eordney tariff. The speaker twitted the Liberals with their changed viewpoint now that they are in office. Attacking the luxury tax during Ir.e previous regime, they held that automobiles valued at $1,000 or less were not luxuries and should not be talced, yet now they place a tax on such automobiles'. Taxes which were formerly an outrage are now regarded as: right and proper. l>. C. Heard From Dealing with the budget from the viewpoint, of the British Columbia fruitgrower, Mr. .LA.
