C, January 18, 1.917 AND WALKER'S WEEKLY Vol. 9; No; 47; Whole No. 467 City Auditor Crehan Tells Enderby Ratepayers Facts to Think About City Auditor Crehan, of thc firm of Crehan, Martin & Co.,Vancouver, addressed the citizen of Enderby at the public/nieeting held in the K. of P. Hall last Wednesday evening, and in his sharp, trenchant talk, hc left them a" lot to think over. He gave in a critical way much information that all ratepayers with thc interests of the town "at heart ought to know. At the same time, his talk, while not intended to be, was the best possible answer to the /criticism too often heard of thc City Hali and the work of City Clerk Rosoman. Auditor Crehan'does not mince matters when discussing municipal affairs. He knows the ins and outs of municipal government, and docs not handle his information second- handed. In ' his reference to the . condition of Enderby'scivic affairs he paid a nice compliment lo City Clerk Rosoman, for whom, hc said, he held no brief. But he was forced to recognize facts, and said, the rate- payers of this city should consider themselves fortunate in having so able a man iii charge of the city oflice. He defied anyone to find a more accurately kept, system of public accounting than that to be found in the Enderby City Hall. As he had spent some 15 years in close touch with the municipalities of thc Province, he felt that he should bc in a position to know what he was talking about. He said it would probably bc an easy matter to get a cheaper man���������������������������a $50 a month man. Other municipalities he could name which had found these cheap men and had put them in charge of their civic a flairs. He knew one municipality in particular, and lhat ^imThicipality"was_nowr-cnipl(jyingan expert at $6,000 a year to get them out of the tangle into which they were brought by the "cheap" man. Auditor Crehan referred to the condition of'the sinking fund of the city, which, hc said, was not being kept up to the mark required under existing bond issues. This condition, he said, was common in the Province, but because common, was none the less serious. How long it would be allowed to continue was a matter which rested entirely with thc bondholders, who, since the war started, had not pressed their demands upon the municipalities. But this condition cannot always obtain. There must come a day of settlement, and this involves issues which every ratepayer must now think about. The deficit in the sinking fund must be made up, and the ratepayers, through their board of aldermen, must find a way to do it. No ratepayer can shirk the responsibility. Ev ry piece of property in the city could be levied upon by the bondholders for payment of the bdnded indebtedness when due. The tax levy of the past year or two had been insufficient to cover the sinking fund requirements. In recognition of the times, the city had endeavored to keep the tax levy down as low as possible. The Auditor felt lhat this fact should be understood by the ratepayers. It is, perhaps, a wise policy while the war is on, as a means of reducing thc tax payments required of the people, but the amount has to be made up later, and it was a question in his mind whether the city should not attempt to economise in some way in order to permit the laying aside of sinking fund requirements. Mr. Crehan took up thc expenditures of the past year, item by item, but could find no place where expenses could bc reduced in any degree. Here and there, small sums might be lopped off, such as payments to thc Union of' B. C. Municipalities, which expenditures,' he thought, were unwarranted by the results obtained. He did not consider that the Union of B. C. Municipalities was watching the interests of the municipalities. -' About the only, legislation that had been put through of late affecting municipalities, was wholly in the interest of the' banks, which gave. them a strangle hold upon'the resources of the municipalities and enabled, the banks to tie up the, revenues in a way never before dreamed of. Another source of expenditure, which he.believed would have to be cut down-sooner or later, was in the educational system, which he believed, -is entirely too extravagant for times like these, arid,clearly beyond the revenues collectable for school purposes. He thought the. educational system should be revised in order to meet the conditions which the war is forcing upon the country. It is all very well to have our high schools, and the extensive- corriculum ��������������������������� taught in our public schools, but he questioned if it were wisdom for the ratepayers to keep paying for the high school 4 education of children when actual sinking fund requirements were not being provided for. There is coming a time, he feared, when small municipalities will have to curtail expenditures in order to meet their liabilities, and it is time that the ratcpayers'arc beginning to take an interest in some clforl looking lo a solution of lhe financial difficulties looming up on' the horizon. the Auditor Crehan referred to criticism of the cost of operating the City Hall, meaning the handling of the records and general ollicial business. By way of comparison, he said thc,cost was about 3 per cent of lhc revenue collections handled by lhc City Clerk. In the average city ollice. he said, the cost is from 10 lo 12 per cent of the revenue .collected. Something might be saved the city, but very-little, if the number of street lights were cut down 50 per cent. The use of the long distance-phone, too, might be discontinued. But these savings 'would be.small, and the wisdom of it questionable. - He failed '. to ��������������������������� see where the city could make a saving in the cost of operation arid comply with tbe l-equircnieirfs"of ~the-;law: He said iftherc was to be economy practiced other than-.that already in vogue, the only way was to strike at the root of*the-expenditure evil, and ask for a school act more suitable to present-day conditions.

Organized labor is not objecting to the National Service plan on account of the men not wishing to serve the nation and empire, but, as onc labor journal puts it, "the people of Canada want to feel that they are playing a mah's-sized part in these world events. They are not satisfied with being the mere pawns in a game iu whose ending they have only a remote and sentimental inleresl. Conscription has no terrors for thc citizen of a country who feels that he is not being cheated and bamboozled inlo being a cat's paw for a class of parasites who have been his enemies, even in his own country, and in times of peace. If the nation's welfare demands thc sacrifice of the lives of its citizens in its defence, thc lesser sacrifice of capitalist property for the nation's service should first be made, as an earnest that capitalists really fhey are the logical product of the war spirit of hatred.

Similar ' action was taken by organized labor in England some months ago, and it was not until thc Government lhere look hold of lhe problem in earnest and nationalized lhe wealth and industries as well as the individual, that England really "struck her pace." Months were wasted in attempting half-measures. Strikes and various forms of labor troubles were thc result, until the Government finally had to cut all profiteering out, by taking over all lines of transportation, munition factories, and all other industries necessary to the carrying on of the war. cie of Enderby been residents friends.

Thc Dominion Government has rescinded the order compelling all mail matter addressed to "Berlin," Ont., instead of "Kitchener," Ont., to be sent to thc deadlctter ollice. This is another evidence of returning sanity. The original order and lhe changing of tlie name was about as big a piece of business on the part of thc government as thc refusal of a good but misguided soul to cat cabbage because cabbage is used by the Germans to make saurkraut of.

The vole was small, only 31 being polled for Thursday, 15 for Saturday and 10 for Monday. The voting for Monday was done more in fun than seriousness by the men employed about the mill yard.

Amendments have been introduced from lime lo lime. The value of lhe building lhal might hc constructed Jiy the Government has been increased, and lhe cost of rentals or payments has also been raised, until now lhe rale of 7 per cenl is collected instead of the original 5 per cent. Tlie homes are buill lo cost as much as $2,()7G. in case of men receiving as much as #12.10 a week. During 1915 llie Government buill 102 workers' homes, and lhere are now 88 under construction in thc Dominion.

MOBILIZING STRENGTH OF THE NATION The note of lhe Entente Allies selling forth the conditions on which Ihey arc prepared to make peace, was made public by Washington a 1'ew days ago. They do not materially alter lhc conditions slated in the reply lo Ihe German nolo, but the note stales more definitely what the Allies hope to achieve by continuing lhe war. Aflcr going carefully inlo*- the manner in which lhe enemy outraged Belgium, Serbia, and Montenegro, lhe note sums up the demands of the Allies Ihus briefly: "President Wilson desires more; he desires lhal lhc belligerent powers openly allirm the objects, which thev seek by continuing lhe war. The Allies experience no diliicully in replying lo lhis request. Their objecls in lhe war are well known; they have been foi-mulnled on many occasions by lhe chiefs of their diverse governments. Their objecls in the war will not be made known in detail wilh all lhe equitable compensations and indemnities I'or damages suffered until lhe hour of negotiations. Hit I lhe civilized world knows lhal Ihey imply in all necessily and in the first instance the lesloralion of Belgium, of Serbia and of "Montenegro, and the indemnities which are due them: lhe evacuation of the invaded territories of France, of liussia o.nd of liumania wilh jusl reparation; the re- organizalion of Europe, guaranteed by a stable settlement based alike upon Ihe principle of nalionalilies, on the right which all people, whether small or great, have lo lhc enjoyment of full security and free economic development, and also upon territorial agreements and inlernalional arrangements so framed as to guarantee laud aud sea f. ontiers against unjust attacks; the reslilulion of provinces or territories wrested in [lie pasl from the Allies by force or against the will of Iheir populations; lhe liberation of the Italians, of Slavs, of Rumanians and Tcheco Slavoqaes from for.-ign domination; the enfranchisement of populations subject lo llie bloody tyranny of Ihe Turks: the expulsion from Europe of lhe Ottoman Empire, which has proved itself so radically alien lo western civilization." According lo Arthur Sears Hennmg, lhe Washington correspondent, President Wilson also has before him the definite levins on which Germany and her allies arc prepared lo make peace, and these aie now being considered wilh those slated bv the Allies with lhc object of deciding whether lhere appears lo be a basis for further negotiations. Thc terms staled by Germany are outlined as follows: 1.

People whose business in 'England at llie present time is nol a mailer of absolute necessily should remain in Canada otherwise they incur risk, as already slated, of being unable to conveniently returned, and in addition, the possibility of becoming more or less of a care to the British authorities.

A., Vancouver Agt., Endei'ny ������������������ Thursday, January 18,1917 THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY MID-WEEK HALF-DAY OFF The vote in Enderby on the half-holiday question was disappointing, not so much from the point of general results, as on account of the small vote polled. Fifty-five votes out of a registered voting strength of 200 or more, does not indicate any interest being taken. The stores alone put up any combined effort, and they stood solid for Thursday for lhe reason thnt neighboring lown merchanls were pulling for the mid- Avcek holiday and the general desire was for the day to bc uniform. The question-of'a-general hallVholiday was never considered in connection with the vole. Il was simply a question of making the Avcckly half-day oil' for the merchants and clerks uniform and on a da}r most convenient for themselves and their customers. This was the only logical position for the merchanls lo lake. The half-holiday Acl as now drained is not broad enough ever to become a real half-holiday law. II was asked for in lhe first place by the merchants themselves in order to get thc provincial government behind their efforts to compel the merchant who insisted on keeping , open for business when thc majority of them wanted to lake a half-day off, to ciosc. It is class legislation, pure and simple,' ancl as such will ^ never become popular. A half-holiday on Wcd- ncesday or Thursday for lhc retail merchanls and their clerks is thc real thing, but it can not bc made a popular hall-holiday covering the schools, the banks, the wholesale houses or tlie public business ollices. It is the kind of legislation lhat penalizes bul cannot accomplish any useful purpose, therefore it will never bc satisfactory. Last year bolh Vancouver and Victoria voted for Saturday afternoon. This year Ihey being overworked, or requiring a weekly half-day off to rest up. Our contention has been, and is today, that the only logical half-holiday is on a Saturday, the day generally observed throughout the civilized world. That the law should be so amended as to allow the merchants to do business on* that day if they choose to do so, and the clerks could be given a half-day oil mid-week if they desire it. The idea of penalizing a man for doing business on any weekday is contrary to all reason and is distinctly opposed to the democracy we harp so loudly upon. Did you ever see a merchant of any kind penalized for accommodating a customer or openly doing business for at least part of any Dominion holiday? A Dominion holiday is not class legislation, and no penally is provided. Thc Provincial Half-holiday Acl is distinctly class legislation and a penally has been provided.to force one merchant to meet the wishes of olher merchants. And thc responsibility of carrying oul lhc Act and doing the penalizing is thrown upon the shoulders of the government. MOST WONDERFUL WAR FILM ROLL OF HONOR FOR KING AND EMPIRE ENDERBY OVERSEAS W. A voted for Wednesday afternoon. Next year lhcy may switch back lo Saliirday, and thus thc merry war go on from" season lo season, and all lhe while lhere will be no real public 1 in If-holiday, because thc holiday spirit will -be killed. The position taken by Thc Press on this question has not been onc of personal inleresl, nor have wc looked upon it purely.as a mater concerning lhc merchants of this or any, particular community. When thc government steps in to make a half-holiday if should bc and must be on a day lhat lhe general public can observe.as a holiday. To leave it to lhc various communities to vole.on what.day it shall bc, and then declare that il sliall" be-unlawful for any merchant to open his. store for business on'^thc half-day his neighbor may desire to lay off, is bringing the ."-question down lo small politics and spoiling what , should be made, a hclpfurinstitution to the community. Wc arc nol advocating,-and would-not advocate thc closing of the stores oh Saturday af- ago or tcrnoon. In thc old days, say 12 ycars thereabouts, the towns of the Okanagan observed Saturday afternoon as a holiday, by mutual consent. Games'were provided, ahd the farmers came in by the hundreds, when they were not too busy in the harvest fields. Thc merchants closed their stores while the games were on and thc general getting togelher of the farmers and townfolk each week for a few hours sport helped wonderfully in developing a clearer understanding aiid maintaining a helpful community spirit. Aflcr thc games the stores were reopened and the farmers and llicir friends, the merchants and citizens generally, got togelher in thc evenings, or meandered home, as it suited them. Our Enderby storekeepers Ihen did trebble the business that is done today,- and nobody worried much, about Mark Allerton, in the Glasgow Citizen of Aug. 24th, said,of thc film called "The Battle of lhc Somme." "It is the biggest thing ever done by photography. 11 is worlh travelling a hundred miles to sec. Certainly no adult can afford lo miss seeing it. It brings the war before your eyes, thc .war as a monstrous instrument for killing men. Uutil you have seen it you cannot appreciate all the sublimity and degradation of what you read in the newspapers. When you look on thc screen you will turn sick with horror. II is good that you should bc turned sick with horror: Those of us who, arc slaying at home are in need of something that will help us to understand thc sheer horror, of war. At the back of our minds there still lurks the thought that war is rather a fine adventure, aii adventure in which there is nobility and chivalry and some goodness. There are virtues in those who fight our battles, but there is not onc virtue in war. War is bloody and beastly, unclean, and gross, and crass, and this film, 'The Battle of the Somme,' shows you it without glamor or romance, a horrible plague thai has fallen upon us, lhat must be prosecuted to thc end so that it shall never happen again. -."I need not describe this film, "for you will'see it. You'must sec it. You must, sec these columns of, men, all laughing, all. light-hear led, marching in to-the trenches. You must sec them going 'over the top.', You must sec for about a minute that hellish shelling that went on for five days without interruption. You must sec it so, that yon may marvel Iioav your kindred can endur.c so much. I am glad that ho false tenderness lias exercised a stupid censorship on this film. You-will sec men being killed. You will see men being mutilated. You Avill sec men naked in the dressing station. You. will sec the hasty burial of those Avho have fallen. You Avill see thc big guns nosing aboul for lhcir prey. You will sec the earth shattered and torn and convulsed." For political reasons men arc slill criticising lhc Otlawa Government for equipping our Canadian soldiers with thc Ross rifle. Wc wonder what other rific they would have had tlie Government equip the men with? There was nothing better lhan the Ross to bc had al the time, and the defect in-'its magazine could not have been discovered until it Avas given ils practical tryoul in actual service. =^TI1E-I1APPY-Ihl BIT-*- Tell your wife about it' Charging cruelly and gross neglect, a Brooklyn, N.Y., girl, 19 ycars of age, lias broughl suit for $50,000 against a home I'or girls. The nexl problem which i.s facing the government and will demand sclllemenl is what is lo bc done wilh the petticoat town. Because "two can live as cheaply as one" the average of marriages in New York has increased from 100 lo 140 per day since the living costs have gone' up. A New York woman wbo thought she married a Avcalthy baron, found while she married a baron all right, he was a pauper, and now she is suing for divorce. An Indianapolis man was found clinging to lhe top of a telegraph pole. Hc told llie police that he had been married three days, and gave his wife $20, his week's salary, out of Avhich she had spent $5 for perfume, $G for silk stockings and then left him .saying he was a cheap guy and that she could not live on his salary. A forcAvoman in an Eastern factory testified in court that the skirts of two of the girls working under her were so short that she had to , surround the girls wilh barrels so the attention of the men would nol be distracted-from Iheir Avork. Thc meals of MOO Berea College students, Avithout coffee, tea or buller, cosl 7 cents a day per student, and they thrive. Thc meals of ihe Carlisle Indian School, which is producing notable athletes, costs 10 2-3 cents a day. These are the days when the civilized nations of lhe Avorld are al lhe threshold of woman rule. And we see some freak legislation demanded here and there, as the women reach out as in the dark for something they believe the Avorld needs. A woman in one of the Eastern cities is circulating a petition for the passage of a laAv compelling men who smoke cigarettes to walk in the middle of thc streets, and as a counter offensive some of the men are circulating a petition in favor of the passage of a law compelling girls Avliosc dresses are over six inches from the ground to walk in the middle of the street also. We wonder Avhal they will do with the women who smoke cigarettes? Habits rule our lives. Happiness hinges on habits. Therefore, "gel the "happy habit." Il is lhc possession of those alone who have habits of industry and wise economy. Our habits pul us lo bed at nighl and lhcy get us up in the morning. They seal us at-.the-table, and lhcy Sel us ITS��������������������������� work!7 II u blnird onee~sa i d th a t "the quality of our work turns.on the kind wc are in the habit of doing." Slipshod, lazy, indifferent, careless, reckless habits do not produce good results. The.v do ncl secure Ihe lespecl of goo^t people, the confidence of society, nor the approval of one's own conscience. These three habits arc essential to the well-rounded life, and must bc acquired in order lo gel lhe "happy habit." Thc habit of health, llie habit of work and the study habit. No man can be called educated, eke woman, who is a parasite on the community, a care to other people, a burden lo relatives or a menace lo society. Sobriety, sanity, hcallh, good cheer and positive usefulness arc all primal repuisites in education, and any system of education which lends to reduce human efficiency, neutralizes and destroys human happiness. "Moreover, any system of education, or wc might say religion, which is nol a positive moving force for good is bad. Some philosopher tells us lhal a sense of humor i.s more valuable lo a busy woman than all the latest inventions for making housekeeping easy. Robt. Airth, Corporal S. Allcorn Edgar L.
