W. J. Bow- .Jjker, premier and attorney-general of Hritish Columbia, ���i- is that we have to borrow money, when we are already in '4lcbt, and for the present, revenue does not square with Expenditures." . The last half of this statement is quite true, the first Jialfjs quite untrue. The real objection to the railway and 'Shipbuilding proposals is that they are most unbusinesslike. As far as shipbuilding is concerned, there are many people : connected with the shipping trade who consider that to build ships is gambling on the duration of the war; because afier the war tliere may be plenty of tonnage available for :wl\\cry purpose. On the other hand there are many others Upho consider tllat lumber schooners built especially to "gicarry lumber for the export trade would always be able to sBcarn the cost of their upkeep if they were operated by the SJBumhcr mills. The objection to thc shipbuilding bill, as ' jatthc premier knows quite well, lies in its provision of guar- '��nutccd bonds for shipbuilding yards, its cash bubsidy "i ^B5 per cent, of the value of the ship to be built, its subsidy "Uf $5 per cargo capacity ton per annum for ten years after spite war is concluded, and its operating clauses under a S&nveriimeiit commission. Tbe bill has already been discussed in these columns and there only remains to bc added ���that it was passed by the government without any consult- "ation whatever with the business men who knew something of shipping, despite the fact that at the first board _35yd trade meeting held to consider tbe bill, Mr. C.

From 1905-1911 inclusive, the government piled up a surplus year by year until it amounted to $1. ��27.- 346.% on March 31, 1911. After that something went wrong. The tremendous expansion entailed tremendous expenditure and "we will admit tbe government was extravagant." But still, after writing off the deficits of 1903 and 1904, which amounted to $1,573,085.3! on March 51. 1911, the government had a surplus of $9,354,261.65. Its revenue had exceeded its expenditure by that sum. so it had a perfect right to be extravagant. This sum bad nothing whatever to do with railway guarantees���it was the clear surplus. In thc -next four years there was a deficit totalling $12,729,076.21, so that as Mr. Bowser points out, the real deficit can only be $3,374,814.56, on March 31. 1915. Vet the government borrowed $10,000.- 000 iu 1914 and at this last session passed legislation borrowing another $4,000.0110. and explained that tlie revenue from land sales had not been collected, there being some $15,000,000 due on these which would be ample security for the $10,000,000. The first $10,000,000, in fact, was borrowed on the security of these collections. But whatever was owing on land sales could not have been part of the sited l.\\ Messrs, Foley, Weld lie Great Eastern charier. THE PROBLEM OF FINANCE In any case there i- over $1,000,000 Mi ll interest on legislation passed at this last session which must be added to the interest on tbe Public Debt, lu other w irds, at least $23,000,000 was added to that debt, ll we have to pay the interest on the railway bond:���ami the Dominion government has already warned us that il expects us to share half of the payment ol" $4,000,000 interesl on C, X. R. bonds ���we shall have to find somewhere near an extra $2,500,000, or. in all, no less than $3,5004000 for interest alone on bonds we have guaranteed and lnaus we have raised. It is no good being pessimistic and looking at the worst side of things. We will have to pay interest on some and perhaps we may escape interest on others. Mr. Lome Campbell is evidently allowing for an increase in interest charges on thc public debt of over $1,000,000. and this is probably the best which can bc expected. Thc problem is how to find the money to look after our commitments. Considerably the largest item in our revenue at the end of the financial year 1913-1914 was Timber Royalties and Licenses, which brought us in $2,444,179.06. In his speech Mr. Campbell forgot all about the revenue, that is he did not give the bouse any figures to show how it had fallen off. He said it was $7,800,000, whereas the year before it bad been $10,308,381.10. For 1916 to 1917 be estimated the revenue at only $5,944,015, which shows a drop of practically $2,000,000 between 1915 and 1917. It can only be supposed that the revenue for 1916 was somewhere about �� TWO THE STANDARD SATURDAY, JUNE I", 1915 &U? *$tmtl.arh Published every Saturday at 42C Homer Street, Vancouver.

The government for the last few years has always depended on deferred payments from land sales making up the drop in revenue. These payments, deferred and otherwise, for the financial year ending March 31, 1914, totalled $1,172,953, and were rather less than the revenue derived from tbe Chinese restriction act. Nevertheless, they came third on the list of in point of as a means of revenue and cannot bc depended on now for much revenue. PERNICIOUS LEGISLATION Mr. Lome Campbell stated that the Dominion Government second mortgage loan of $45,HOO,(XXI relieved llritish Columbia of ils liability on the C, N. R. Pacific bonds in order that the Dominion Government may make its security effective. Hut the Dominion Government has evidently other ideas. W'e must reckon on paying the piper for om railway construction. The only right method is to take every contingency into account and allow accordingly. It is plain any government is faced with a serious proposition and that from one source or other the revenue must be increased. There should bc opportunity for this in the mining developments, Vet nothing should be done to discourage capital, or productive development. That is why the Workmen's Compensation Act, the unbusinesslike shipbuilding bill, the continual search for money with which to purchase the vote of the electorate through popular rather than business like methods,are so dangerous to the country. Taxation should be increased, but it would take a very strong government to increase taxation under present circumstances, as it would deem such a move would be deemed most unpopular. The question of prohibition just as tllc question of he Workmen's Compensation Act, is not a question of a good or bad act, but solely oiic of finance. Can we afford to establish these expensive luxuries at such times as these? Do they increase our revenue or do they increase our liabilities or expenditure? WANTED ��� INITIATIVE The government has shown itself most reckless in its "business" legislation. It has shown itself most unbusiness like in its budget, which is purely political. It has been drawn up to give as good an aspect as possible to a bad state of affairs. But because the affairs are bad there is no need to be pessimistic. All that is required is a careful analysis of the situation, a business like and frank report to the people, and a bold attack on the whole rotten political system which is very largely accountable for the present situation. If tbe present government is returned to power and Mr. Lome Campbell remains minister of finance, lie will have a great opportunity to show what can be done by a real business man to pull our public accounts out of the political slime which chokes all initiative and really honest administration. I ���CRITICUS. ��� ���EDITORIAL OPINIONS. THE PROHIBITION (?) PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA THE executive of the People's Prohibition Party in tion of men and brains that ever convened in the British Columbia is perhaps the weakest aggrcga- best interests of any community. The Bill to which they have given their assent is the trickiest, please-all, makeshift piece of legislation that was ever presented to any electorate to be voted upon, That sane men, having as their object the total prohibition of the habit and traffic of intoxicating liquors in tllis Province should have worked so hard and so long, and in the end be so completely hoodwinked, is unthinkable. Many of the workers feel that, after all, the cause has been betrayed. The Bowser Bill may close the saloons, but it leaves a wide open door for all kinds of illicit trafficking, which, if tbe leaders of the Prohibition party had firmly maintained their original position of absolute and total prohibition, could have been kept securely closed. The leaders of the movement compromised, and as a result we are face to face with a very unsatisfactory situation. The proposed measure does not strictly prohibit. It is the old story of the wolf in sheep's clothing. The Prohibition executive is composed largely of party politicians whose personal political promotion is of more importance than the commonweal, and only so long as Prohibition is a means to an end do they stay with thc cause. Some of them have already received the office for which they have worked so long, and now they are practically "through'' with "total" Prohibition. The Bill .they are so half-heartedly supporting is only a sop offered to a betrayed electorate. * * # But this is nothing more, nor less, than what many good people expected. The men who fathered thc movement were, and are, merely time servers. At its best, the morale of the executive was never very high. The motive which dominated the movement at its inception, Was not such as could possibly give healthy stimulus to any public issue. Men with "pasts" are never great energy givers, or moral uplifiers. The greed of gain, as emphasised in the economic arguments against the drink traffic has little inspiration in it for the man in the street. He has little faith in any "Capitalist" and "Promoter" propagandists. The Almighty Dollar was. and is, of more importance to the fathers of the People's Prohibition Tarty in B. C. than the salvation nf the drunkard from the accursed drink. They began, as Archdeacon Lloyd so plainly told them, al lhe wrong end. They might to save the drunkard for his own sake, and nol f"r the dollars lhat are in lhe business. Prohibition has always been a political issue in B. ('. Unlike lhe mercenary motive of monetary gain, however, Ibis phase of lhe question has been concealed, ll is nevertheless easily recognizable by any one wlm has a desire lo enquire into the matter. It takes no greal amount oi brains to see thai the Prohibition executive is in lhe bands of our astute political leaders only a means to an end. Wit li one party it has been dexterously used to save that party from complete annihilation, while lhe opposing party has endeavored to regain the confidence of lhe people through the popular issue. "It will help us" was how one candidate put it. al the time of the great Convention last August, and only just so long as it HELPS them has any political party any use for a Bill that puts the strangle hold on the drink traffic which, after all, is lhe most powerful factor in politics. The Conservative interests have captured the Prohibition executive. Thc boasted "Only Prohibition Paper in B. C." is now a staunch supporter of the present government The "grcat" $300 per month organiser, of whom every one spoke with bated breath at the time of appointment, is now Minister of Education. A young Conservative party has been organized, the leaders of which are members of the Prohibition machine, The "capitalist and promoter" men arc all avowed supporters of the Bowser administration. And so, as a result of all this political intrigue, the people are asked to support a Bill which no stretch of imagination can call a complete Prohibition measure, but which is in reality only a decoy used to return the Conservative party to power. The Bill upon which the people are being asked to vote was not prepared by the Prohibition party. It could not possibly be. The executive of the Prohibition movement was unalterably opposed to the principle of compensation, at least so they affirmed. And yet what do we find? This Prohibition Bill, of which there is much talk of its being so satisfactory to tbe Prohibition leaders, is nothing more or less than a Compensation measure. It does not even give to 'the people the right to say if they wish thc Trade to be compensated. That is to be in the hands of a "Commission."' Who, then, prepared the Bill? THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS, dominated by the liquor interests, prepared the measure, which would serve their own ends, and at the same time, promise security to the Trade. The welfare of the Province as a whole was the thing farthest from tbe minds of the framers of this piece of sneaky legislation. It would be quite an interesting inquiry to find out just how much money the secret agents of the liquor interests paid out to get control of the framing of British Columbia's Prohibition (?) Act. Another question that might be asked while we are writing on this sordid talc is "Why did the Prohibition People of B. C. not avail themselves of the benefits of the Doherty Act, and so give to the Province the fullest possible protection from the drink evil." If their motive had been the salvation of humanity from the curse of intemperance, they would have insisted upon this wider prohibition. But they did not. And the reason is self-evident. Tbe men whom the people trusted in this matter betrayed them. They sold the Prohibition machine, and all its influence, to the highest political bidder, with the result we have already noted. * * * That there is a clamant need for Prohibition in B. C. no one denies. This fact is recognized by all classes of the community. A saloon, whether in a legislature hall or a mining camp, is an accursed thing. Men who stand at a bar and drink, be they members of parliament or mule drivers, arc worse than beasts, and any measure that seeks to cure this evil and save these men from themselves, should receive the consideration and support of the people. The political party, however, that would seek to make capital and gain jut of such legislation does not merit support. The business of a parliament is not to give favors to the public, The people return men to power to legislate in the best interests of the entire community, and measures passed with this end in view should not be looked upon as something conferred upon the country through the influence of any political body, but as the result of the deliberations of men whose sense of duty and responsibility is the motive which inspires them to work and act for the common good. Men of this type arc few and far between in British Columbia. Again, votes must have one value, and one value only. This is impossible where the country is divided arbitrarily into districts, returning one representative. Only when a candidate is chosen by acclamation can the votes be said to be of equal value. The candidate is then desired equally by all. In all other cases the minority vote has no value, as it did not succeed in getting a representative elected. The minority has no voice in the House. Nol only is lhe minority vote disfranchised, but most of the majority wile is often practically disfranchised. In order to present an undivided front In lhe opposite party. Ihe minorlty< il is necessary in a district returning one member, lhal only one candidate shall run lor lhe major party, hence the desirability of an agrccmenl as in whn shall be the Candidate. Tllis is arrived al in different ways. As a rule ii is Kit lo a committee appointed by party workers, or to a convention of delegates selected for the purpose. To capture the convention or central committee, or lo foster and develop activity in a parly, among supporters susceptable to certain influences, is the object of the agents of interests, who have a selfish end in view, Owing to the apathy and indifference of the majority of the party, and the activity of the selfish few, the candidate is usually placed under an obligation to these interests, and is expected to legislate for them. So long as the majority can be kept pacified, these active agents manage often to control the selection of candidates in both parties���sort of tvvccddledee and tweedledum���whichever one is selected is under the control of the interests. And should the selection not be to their liking, they usually run a third candidate, and so divide the hostile vole. Again, in a close contest, the balance of power can easily be influenced by promises of money, jobs, contracts, etc. It is little wonder that the whole method has created a wholesome disgust, sometimes called "apathy and lack of conscientious regard for the duties of citizenship," in the minds of the honest electors. The real truth of the whole matter is that those who cry out against tbis "apathy and lack of conscientiousness" are the most guilty parties, in not having attempted to overcome these difficulties, and therefore are least aware of the true situation. The danger is THE SELFISH INTEREST, and the heroes are the honest workers in the party, who are often misunderstood. ' * * * The policy of the party, not only in the convention, but in the caucus, is subject to the same influence, and so we get a government built up around a specially interested few, but not representing in any shape or form, the people. The will of the people, then, should prevail in the matter of deciding upon national policies, or, for that matter of it, all policies. But should these chosen representatives be entrusted with the offices of administration? Are the people in a position to judge who would be good executive heads of departments? Granted that the electorate is not in a position to know, and that tbe people's will is focused in the Mouse by tbe adequate vote which the Proportional System provides, the natural course would be to leave the selection for a particular office, not to the caucus, but to the whole House. The means of investigating the records of applicants for these offices and tbe methods of watching their progress should also be controlled by the House. GOOD GOVERNMENT AN article in the WESTMINSTER REVIEW for May on "Thc Crisis in Party Politics and the Way Out." suggests this topic for consideration. The method of obtaining gord government is to bc worked unt hi the next issue of that magazine and will doubtless be awaited with interest. We arc all agreed that there is constant discontent and dissension arising from the actions of our so-called democratic governments, and so it is with som? degree of pleasure that wc welcome the solution of our difficulties, such as Proportional Representation or, for that mailer of it. any other change in the electoral system, shall give us. We are all agreed that the results of our present methods are unsatisfactory. * * * In making our legislative bodies elective our statesmen had a decided object in view. The House was to be the "express image of the nation." But tbe machinery provided has failed to give adequate results. The people are not fairly represented. Wc look to the church, the school, and the home to mould our democratic life, and yet thc agents in these institutions, the preacher, the teacher and the mother, are disfranchised, or, at least, are not expected to use their influence in the forming of legislative bodies. We shall only have a full democratic government wihen we have a free adult suffrage, which shall include preachers, teachers, women, civil servants, etc. THE EASIER WAY: AND THE RECRUITING MEETING "K TOT all the heroes are in the trenches; it would be 1\\ we are just holding on in the hope that the change much easier to throw up everything and go; but will come before we reach tbe end of our resources." These words, uttered recently by a Granville Street business man, express what is true of the experience of many in Western Canada and elsewhere at this time. It is the duty of every man, physically fit, to ask himself if his circumstances or his home responsibilities are such as to prevent his offering himself for service in some capacity in connection with the national and imperial organization to meet the Gerainn military menace. It need not bc taken as a reflection on the thousands who are going, however, that a passing tribute is paid the men who stay behind to fight in the business trenches. Following hard on the presentation of that side came the recruiting meeting in the Vancouver Hotel. Several short but pointed addresses were niade by representative men. Unfortunately, towards the end of the meeting, a versatile speaker of wide sympathies won the favor of the audience when he introdu ed a subject other than recruiting into the discussion, and this led a peripatetic orator who followed, to test the patience of the meeting by airing certain grievances along labor lines. In the course of his address, Rev. Dr. O'Boyle made an appeal to the Canadian-born. Canada has no reason to lie ashamed of the part of her native sons, in common with her British-born citizens, have already taken in the world struggle, but those who are in constant touch with the old Land know that the requirements of the situation seem lo have come home more fully to the men of Britain and lhat in most cases brothers and nephews have long ago, without need of any form of compulsion, made everything secondary to the interests of the Empire anil enlisted in one department or another of army or nayy service. There is no doubt a danger that the very security from the consequences of war which the Imperial Xavy has so far ensured to the Dominions beyond thc seas may prevent some young men from realizing all the present struggle means, and the primary claim the Empire has on the personal consideration of all who value British institutions and Christian civilization. Probably, as was suggested at the recruiting meeting, many Canadians are only now beginning to be seized of tbe significance of what is involved in the conflict, and that has only to come home to them to lead the young manhood of the nation to volunteer in Uhdiniinishing proportion from the remaining population. Cost what it may, Prussian militarism must be destroyed,���Westminster Review. draught The films are going all day and every day, and people crowd them at all hours, often to the danger point. Children, we are told by thc children's judge, arc seduced by them into crime, stealing llie entrance money. It is the Impressions left on childhood that form the life. The sermon leaves practically no impression except that of sleepiness or of pain in the inward part. To the film the young mind is still alive, and its impressions will pass into the life. Every care is taken of what the preacher shall teach. He goes through long years of training, lie is bound by standards which he undertakes nol lo depart from, lie is under lhe discipline of church courts if he transgresses. The film is devised so as to be as highly spiced as permissible. Ils material is war and crime and off-colored marital events, Where it is meant to be educational it is in Countries like Canada almost exclusively a foreign education lhat it gives It is purveyed chiefly by foreigners who are in no wise in touch with the moral sense of our community, or at least of what our community was before it became largely foreign. It is advertised in the newspapers, and these in return find no fault with it. They laud it to the skies, ll has guardians lo be sure. Tbe govem- meulmenl appoints a board of censors, who forbid anything positively disgraceful or anything that comes under some broad rule of expurgation, but who are under lhe terror of all censors, namely, that the condemnation of a play or a film as indecent greatly increases ils popularity and draws In its active or passive defence lhe press, the actors and Ihe authors who are fairly sure, by implication or by open protest lo condemn the veto as prudery. Such then, are two of the forces which go lo lhe making tti the generation lhat is to manage the world a quarter of a century hence. Tbe question arises, what is to be done about it? Little is gained by denunciations. Tbe path of expurgation is a difficult one. Something is being done by taking the edge off the film appetite by the free exhibitions of wholesome performances. Something better by providing Wholesome amusements summer and winter. Die church cannot enter into competition with the theatre nnd the press in following the lead of the popular taste.

THE CANKER OF PUBLIC CORRUPTION AS to patronage, I have been thirty-four years in public life; I have been a pretty close student of political parties and political history in this country, and I have simply this to say���I give il as my individual opinion ���tllat in the whole course of my political life I cannot point lo a single instance where political patronage ever iclped the status of the bench, ever helped the status of the Civil Service, ever helped in the economy of their administration the status of public administrators, no matter what functions they performed, never helped a member of Parliament in reality, never helped a Government in reality; it almost always causes the dry rot and disintegration lhat break up government after government and party after party, and I wish now, iu the white heat and light of tllis great contest and struggle and the self-sacrifice that we are called upon to make, that we might speak from the hearl out, and that hereafter patronage shall not be applied by political parties in the construction of our public works. Now, that is a frank admission. Some may say to me that 1 have no right to make it. I presume upon my grey beard and thirty-four years in public life, and I make that statement for what it is worth. I vvill just append to that one single sentence, and it is this: that if there is any laxity in the public virtue of this country today, if there is any canker of public corruption, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred you can trace il to the baleful effect of political party patronage.���Sir George Poster.
