VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1913 Price 5 cents Five Thousand Pupils Attend South Vancouver's Schools One Quarter Million Dollars Is Teachers' Annual Salary Mr. William Kirk'.and, Secretary Board of School Trustees, South Vancouver Municipal Solicitor is Prosecuting "Chinook" for Alleged Libel Mr. Colin H.Clarke Places His Case in Hands of Attorney-General Bowser's Law Firm and Demands Unstated Damages From Greater Vancouver Publishers Limited, for Calling Him Inefficient Fifteen Big, Modern School Buildings, Containing One Hundred and sixty-eight Class Rooms, Accommodate this Army ��� 9 * Schools Cost Ratepayers Nearly Million and a Half and A re Finest in British Columbia Mr. Colin M. Clarke, South Vancouver's solicitor, with offices at the Municipal Hall, through his lawyers, Me'ssrs. Bowser, Reid and Wallbridge. of Vancouver, has brought a libel action againsl the editor oi the "Chinook" eever an article appearing mi the editorial page of ihis paper last week. Mr. Clarke, who was appointed to his present position about "iu- year ago, and whose tenure of office has not been one long season of peace and tranquility, branded the "Chinook's" statements a* being false ami cowardly, and declared thai unless an apology and retraction was promptly made, or the truth of the statements proved, he would resign Iiis position. It is quite probable thai the matter will go to the courts, and if such developments lake place, the newspaper will be forced to prove wherein Mr. Clarke, as a public servant, is inefficient. Much interest is centred on the libel action, li is believed testimony will be required of many persons associated with municipal life in the district. Mr. Justice Morrison, according in the alleged libel, reprimanded the solicitor, and in the event of an action, Ilis Lordshlp'i exact words in rebuking the South Vancouver man may be repealed as evidence. The article in question was as follows : "Inefficiency" "It is unfortunate that freun the great army of lawyers doing business in British Columbia that South Vancouver -limilil -elect f.er the position of municipal solicitor a man whose deportment in courl should be described by Mr. justice Morrison as both childish and insulting. "Lasl week's incident when the council endeavored i" have set aside an injunction g"l out I" prevent a Start lieing made mi paving opera- tie.ns un Main and Fraser streets is only eene meere blow In the municipality. It seems incredible thai a body 'ef supposed business men shuuld go into court trusting a very important case tn lhe hands of a barrister of so questionable ability. "Il is the same old story. Inefficiency. A municipality of 4ii.ihio people is held Up lo ridicule of thc world because a cheaply paid employee blunders." The defense of the publishers nf the "Chinook" will likely be that the criticism was of Mr Clarke, met as a private individual, bul as a public servant in Ihe employ of the Municipality of South Vancouver. It may be pointed out that Messrs. (Continued on Page 2) Some years ago a bright young man was -ent nut tu rcpurt a meeting uf sume description ur other ie South Vancouver by the city editor nf une nf lhe mure Influential Vancuuver newspapers. The reporter boarded a Fraser -Ireet car and got a- iar as 51st avenue when the conductor put him off and went back to the city with the motorman. The car did not go any further but the reporter had to. 'I'he meeting which he had in cover fur his paper was about nineteen blocks beyond the car terminus, ami being a good reporter ilu prospect t,i a long walk there and back did no' annoy him unduly. The city editor said that there was a -lory, a greal big story, In be obtained in the little school house at the end of ilie street. The story was never written. Ofie uf South Vancouver's notorious "ratepayers" had promised much on a postcard i" ilu- newspaperman, There- was le, be a row, charges and counter charge- and lhe besl feature writer un the paper was to cover the stnry. lie didn't, and instead he wrote a bitter ami heartfelt resentment uver the failure' "i llle ratepayers lu meet and provide news. This ia hnw il ran in part: "Except iur lhe rude chalk drawings un lhe walls, llie fitful flicker of a coal nil lamp and the faint atinus- pherc uf learning there was jusl nothing and nobody al iln- school lasl nighl when Mr. was ready t.e announce thai ilie meeting was open for discussion." There ��as some mi ire like this but the poor little school building has leing since been torn down wilh ii- riuli- chalk drawings, coal ed! lamps have given away i.. electric lights and lhe streel cars now run righl by the site nf that ancient building. Bul ih.- reporter's little "story" of a fruitless mission tu South Vancouver contained almost tin- firsl mention of a school building in South Vancouver. Since that time reams and reams have been written about the Soulh Vancouver schools in the daily newspapers and even at that nobody outside of the school teachers. school officers and the .school children themselves know how big South Vancouver's school system really is. Five Thousand Pupils More than nnc million dollart i. invested in school property for the accommodation of nearly 5,000 boys ami girls of all grades. These pupils are taught in loH separate class reeonts by teachers whose salaries yearly ag. gregate one-quarter of a million dollars. Does that tell you anything, Mr. Grumbling Ratepayer? Where has the money gone, what have we go! for it? These and similar questions have been fired at the heads of School trustees and others, particularly around election time. The ratepayers have authorized the expenditure eif several hundred thousand dollars mi schools and school sites in South Vancouver. It is interesting to sec how much these sites are worth now. how much the buildings are valued at, how much has been paid out for equipment and other statistics of school management. Interesting Figures Accounts compiled for the year ending June .III. 1913, show lhat the trustees are administering a great big business, The buildings, fifteen in all. are valued at $785,000. The sites are valued at $566,650. and the equipment in lhe schools, always a big item, cost $36,830. These ligures were compiled by experts. They i show a t'elal "1 $1,388,480, and that i"- really what lhe a--et- of the school board are worth. For the si\ months ending June .VI. 1913, the sell,",I board paid mil $113,054.25 in salaries tu teacher-, and fnr the six months ending December 31, 1913, the total will be very much I greater by the reason eif the employment uf additional teacher- -.. thai lhe total for the year will run well up tu the quarter-million mark. Incidentals and salaries tn school officers for ihe firsl -ix months of thi- presenl year total $51,635. For the whole uf last year lhe ligures fur incidental- and officers' salaries were $134,252.02. This year ilu- board economized in incidentals at least. For the same period the extraordinary expenditures, ihe money paid out for school siu-, "ii new school buildings, equipment nf new class r.eeinis and other similar expenses totaled $349,924.52 ami the- ordinary expenditures, the money paid fur upkeep and administration totaled $169- 256.86. The Sniitli Vancouver school sys- teni is nn a -"lid foundation in very truth, The school system in Vancouver is perhaps more elaborate ami it represents bigger expenditures bul i \ i ii Vancouver failed tn mak.- - i splcndiel a showii e, a- South Vancouver ha- made with school system m live ur six years.

It was - ion feci gnized that the districl now called Kelowna contained ihe griai essentials necessary to produce the -""thing weed in iis finest form, namely, soil of tlu right texture, perfectly adapted to the plant. fertile, beyond imagination and cli- niaie ideal iii every particular. Steps were taken t" prove the discovery commercially, both as to growth and manufacture, A business wa- carried on for a number of years; financed in a small way by local capital, until the product attracted the entire attention of the Province of British Columbia, callilig'-lnrth many encomiums both from tht' pres- am' trade, being highly Recommended by Marl Grey, Mr. ��� Charlau. chief of the tobacco division, department of agriculture. OttaWa, and receiving the highest award in the gift of the Province at tin Yano.uver Exhibition in 1910. Having been brought to the notice of a number of men quick to see a sterling opportunity for investment, the proposition was thoroughly investigated, proved, and iii March. 1912, was taken uver by the Hritish North American Tobacco Company Limited for the purpose of placing the undertaking OB the plane which it deserved. This company, with headquarters in Kelowna, the garden city of British Columbia, situated in the bean of the tobacco district, is capitalized at $500,000 and owns extensive plantations upon which it grows various types of first quality tobacco for the manufacture of cigars, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, etc. Under the expert management of Mr. A. VV. Bowser and with' large financial resources, this business has grown by leaps and bounds and is now recognized as one of the greal est industries in that part of Hritish Columbia. The company's present area of over 8(10 acres is situated in the must highly developed territory in the province and in the opinion "f experts, will, within a very short time be worth dollar for dollar, the present value of the best seed Havana tobacco lands in Connecticut, viz., $2,000 and upwards per acre. The company has this year been awarded the Gold Medal and highest diplomas for an exhibit of growing plants, leaf and cigars at the Vancouver Exposition, this being the ��� ttrth time thai ihey have received ilisi iiion T . tobacco crop i- transplanted by machinery, fivi acn - per day being icit) -I ont machine ��ith two ind ihrei mi n, doing the work of forty-fivt men setting plant- by hand, a- in Cuba and Porto Rico, ihe wonderful texture e.f the -ml in ihi- district, freedom irom weeds ami -inin- all"��ing tin- method.

The Vancouver branch of the company is located at 438 Hornby street and Mr. L. B. Emery is manager. The $20,000 Investigation Shortly after the sensation broke in South Vancouver alleging municipal grafting, it was discovered that certain officials connected with the administration of the schools in the City of Vancouver had gone wrong. A commissioner was appointed to investigate the affairs of the Vancouver board on much the same basis as the local commissioner was appointed. Much evidence was taken and after the enquiry had been thoroughly prosecuted, in due time a report which took up many columns in the newspapers was given out by that commissioner. This report gave the whole facts of the situation as regards irregularities in that particular department of the city's administration. Those members connected \*ith the board who had committed no wrong were exonerated by the commissioner, and the blame was placed at the door of the proper parties. Not so in South Vancouver. As far as the people know today, the administration of public affairs in this municipality since its inception has been perfectly regular in every respect. Evidence given before the commissioner during his lengthy sittings pointed to the fact that there had been much graft in certain quarters. How about it, Mr. Bowser? The people want action on their $20,000 investment. i)u Wednesday, Mr. II. A Stein, Managing Editor of the "Chine.uk" ami Mr. li. M.

DON'T treasure up old rags, paper or rubbish of any sort under stairways, in attics or basements, or anywhere in your home. DON'T put ashes in a wooden box or barrel, or close to walls or fences. DON'T neglect to overhaul your stove pipes once a month; see that your chimneys are swept at least twice a year. DON'T uje gasoline for cleaning purposes in the house. It is more dangerous than powder; powder will remain where you leave it, gasoline vapor is shifted by air currents to all parts of the house, and being heavier than air, lodges in out of the way corners, making trouble when you least expect it. DON'T place your stoves or pipes within twelve (12) inches of any wood or partition. DON'T forget that ninety-five per cent, of our fire losses are caused by poor and dirty stove pipes, and the placing of stoves, pipes and furnaces too close to wood work.

And the enlightened gladly admit that the well-paid, well- rested, independent worker usually docs more in liis eight or nine hemrs than he uscel to de. in his twelve ur fourteen. After the inauguration of the limited-hour day the con- tractors invented what is known as a "rusher." Thc "rusher" is a yuung workman, in his prime, marvellously eptick in his wurk, as compared with the ordinary, good, capable workman. On a jul) of bricklaying, carpentering, ur other wurk, it was customary fur the shrewd contractor tu hire one ur inure "rushers." Nominally the "rusher" was paid regular union wages. Hut secretly lhe contractor paid him double wages, ur mure than double wages. The "rusher" worked at high-pressure hour after hour, day afler day. Thc others could not possibly have kept up with him had he worked his fastest. Hut his instructions were to keep just a little ahead that the others might struggle antl do their best to keep even in their task, in order njt to lose their work for apparent idleness. Thus the "rusher," a man of unusual skill, gelling double wages, went along well within his forces, while the others wcre working themselves lo death in order to keep up and nut lose their jobs. The limitation of the day's output is based originally on thc desire to sqtteleh this "rusher" idea, or to put tbe quietus on the very yuung and able workman anxious to curry favor with the "boss" by making the pace too hot fur the men working beside them. Our friend, the clergyman, and many others say tbat it is dishonest to limit the day's output. But is it dishonest? What is tbe difference between limiting thc day's output and limiting a year's output? In the middle of thc summer the clergyman says, "I have worked enough; I ought to gu to Europe," and he goes. Tbe bricklayer dues nut criticize the clergyman for limiting his year's output to forty sermons. lie docs not say tu him, "You are able to preach fifty-two sermons a year. If you preach only forty, yuu are dishonest and rob your parishoners." What business is it of the clergyman's if the bricklayers, among themselves, decide that it is better for them in the lung run to set only a given number uf bricks per day? The trouble with sume clergymen and many others s lhat they forget one important thing���namely, lhat he workingmen now have something to say. When it cuines tu a question of laying brick, it is nu onger the squire or the local clergyman who decides what shall be dune. The bricklayer decides what shall be done, And when it comes tu carpenter wurk, the carpenter decides what shall constitute a day's wurk. In olden times the clergymen, the lawyers, the rich, the lucky class in general, decided feir themselves what they should du, and then they decided fur Iheir su-ealled Inferiors what those inferiors should di APOLOGY DEMANDED f \ the last issue of this journal was published an editorial 1 article charging inefficiency on the part ..1 the man a presenl occupying ihe position uf municipal solictor a [he Se.uth Vancuuver Municipal Hall.

Il is possible lhat under a Board ": Control only a few nominees of councillors wouhl then get jobs a, compared wilh lhe hosts that have in llie past been made so happy. One thing lhat lhe Controllers would especially frown Upon���ihat is if ihey were thc right kind uf men���is the employment of more men than ave necessary to du a certain piece of municipal wurk. Under present conditions wc liiul thai ihi, has been done, and when any efforl i, made tu stop lhe practice, somebody comes along with charges against officials chiefly because they refuse to load up the service with useless men. Sometime, officials are too compliant? One reported met lung ago that he look mi seven men wlm were sent tu him by a councillor till his gangs were full. The councillnr kept sending more applicants for work, and when these were told that there were no mure vacancies, their patron the councillor raised a loud protest of unfair discrimination. Thus Ihe councillors, when money is flush, permit tn flourish the uld evils which have so greatly impaired the efficiency nf tbe outside service, and resulted in past years in the squandering of so much money. It may bc expected, if a Board of Control comes into existence, that tne councillors will be very angry if the Controllers refuse to allow them to plant their proteges as pensioners on the civic treasury.
