We emphatically condemn the McBride government for its con- nivance at the evasion of the land laws by persons, syudicates and corporations, who have been al- jowed to obtain millions of acres of the choicest accessible public lands, which are held without use and to the detriment of the proy- ince as a whole. We hold that agricultural land should be disposed of only on such conditions as will ensure ils continuous use and occupa- tion. Free homesteads to actual set- tlers. Holders of pre-emptions to be given benefit of this pro- vision. Advances to settlers on easy terms to assist in land clearing, dyking, irrigation and other per- manent improvements. Surveys of all accessible agri- cultural lands to be rapidly com- pleted, and survey sheets and all necessary information to be made easily available io the public. Settlement in block to be en- couraged by the removal of re- serves, which scatier population Platform of the Liberals of British Columbia Convention, March ist, 1912 manual and agricultural train- ing and domestic science teach- ing, and the establishment of an bears unjustly on settlers in un- | organized districts ,and should | be immediately remedied. 6. Representation. The goyernment’s policy as to revision of the voters’ lists and precipitating the present elec- tion without a proper redistribu- tion of constituencies is a com- plete subversion of all the privi- leges of representative govern- ment. We favor personal registration and insist on immediate redis- tribution. We favor woman suffrage. 7. Taxation. Abolition of the poll tax and personal property tax and the raising of the exemption of in- come limit to $2,000. Exemption of improvements on all lands paying taxes to the Provincial government, A readjustment of the system of taxation whereby the Province and greatly increase the cost of| roads, schools and other neces- sary facilities. No public land for the specu-| lator. 2. Transportation. The immediate construction of may receive a fairer proportion of the unearned increment. Immediate reform of the pres- ent costly, cumbersome and in- equitable system of collecting school taxes in unorganized dis- tricts. a railway to Peace River. We will co-operate with the| Dominion government in secur-} ing ail-rail connection between | ihe railway systems of Vancouver! Island and the railway systems) of the mainland. | The construction of a line} owned by the government to give} direct communication, by the best route as to grades and distances, | between the Similkameen and} other interior points and coast. We favor the husbanding the Provincial credit lines that will open up new terri- tory. Provincial credit and resources not to be wasted in paralleling existing lines. No ijiand subvention to railways} beyond what necessary for railway purposes. Abolition of the system of giv- ing away Crown lands for town- free of taxation and under railway control. Aid to railways not to exceed what is reasonably necessary to secure construction, The prevention of talization of railways.

With a view to meeting the de- mand for the transportation of grain from Saskatchewan and Al- berta, the immediate construction of government-owned elevators. The people to control the rail- ways, and not the railways the people. 3. Timber. We condemn without reserve the wholesale disposal of timber lands to speculators, which has been the only timber policy of the present government. We advocate the survey, cruis- ing and valuation of timber lands by the government before aliena- tion, and the disposal of all such lands by public conapetition to actual users. Improved methods of prevent- ing timber waste and system- alized reafforestation. Hand loggers licenses to be granted where conditions demand. 4. Public Protection in Respect to Coal. Coal lands not to be alienated, but leased under conditions to be fixed periodically by the legisla- ture. Wherever practicable and nec- e.eary government operation of coal mines to be at once under- taken with a view to reduction of existing prices. We insist’ upon the appoint- ment of a royal commission to investigate the present exorbitant coal prices, 5. Practical Education. We condemn the present edu- cational autocracy of the govern- ment, We recommend the appoint- ment of a representative advis- ory board in educational matters, such as exists in all other prov- inces, The present school curriculum is so overloaded with subjects as to render thorough education in any branch impossible. We advocate an increase of! Columbia,” 8. Labor—Workmen’s Compensa- Without Litigation. A Provincial department of efficient system of technical schools, The present school system) to restore the fishing industry to white fishermen. fhe protection of lumbia fisheries poachers, The adequate poli¢ing of Can- adian waters. 15. Protection of Water Supply. We condemn the shortsighted policy of the Provincial govern- ment in alienating the timber lands on watersheds tributary to cities, towns and municipalities. j At should be the immediate duty j of the government to remedy the | mischief caused by this mistaken policy. 16. Torrens System of Registra- tion of Title. British Co- from foreign The present system of land registration is expensive and cumbersome. We advocate the adoption of the Torrens system of titles, and a reduction of reg- istration fees, 17. Non-Partisan Civil Service. We favor the organization of a civil service commission for both inside and outside services, Appointments to the civil sery- ice should be based on fitness, and not on partisan service.

The control of the traffic should be vested in municipalities, or, in unorganized territory, in locally elected authorities. We favor a local option law. In the protection of the public we insist on frequent inspection of liquor offered for sale. 13. Public Accounts.
