How often it happens that a
public accomplishes
the very opposite of that
tended. The meeting Monday
night seems
this rule. The tendeney al first
was to soar heavenwards on
airy clouds of sentiment, but
after the first enthusiasm had
passed away the pendulum be-
gan to drop to the centre where
it belongs.

Tht editor of this paper is a
confirmed believer in public
ownership. He has studied it
in the light of economics, so-
ciology and psychology, and
believes that within it lies the
key to a great many of the
problems of our time. Not-
withstanding all that, however
there are other considerations
that come first.

meeting
in-

no exception to

We heard a great deal the
other night about the old-tim-
ers who came here with a pack
on tueir backs and who have
since made good. Would it
not be a sorry sight to
these same men taking again
to the trail because their sub-
stance had melted from under
them and beeause they did not
have the price to go by steam.

If we follow out the policy
adopted the other evening that
surely is what will take place.
Citizens, the next year and a
balf will either make or break
every one of us. This city has|
an inevitable destiny of great-|
ness before it, but if we have!
to wait for five or ten years}
for that greatness where is the |
money coming from to pay the|
bills?

The opponents of the Hydro-|
Electric agreement have thrown
down the “iron glove” as a
challenge to the progressive}
spirit of Prince Rupert. They!
have forced upon us a clear-|
cut issue and we are obliged to!
side either with those who
work for progress and pros-
perity or those whe would de-
feat all bylaws and bring the
city to a halt.

it appears. The question has
absolutely nothing to do with
whether or not public owner-
ship is a good thing. In that
we all agree. The issue is
whether we shall spend all our

without which this city will re-

main a village.
Bigs oy
This course certainly would
not be advocated unless the

proposals of the eleetric com-
pany were within the realm of
reason. The fact is, however,
that they are, willing to sell us
power cheaper than we can
manufacture it ourselves: Be-

sides that, it is a temporary
agreement. Science is demon-
strating daily that there are
countless new uses for elec-

tricity, and on account of that
the use of electrical energy is
on the increase. This
fact alone makes it clear that
the maximum amount of 3,000
horse power will soon be used,
and then the city can return to
its first love.

It is a childish argument to
say that if we do not imme-
diately make use of Woodworth
Lake power the government
will hold none of this for us.
Surely the government will not
act like a spoiled child in this.
They must know the difficulty
of financing at present and the
need Prince Rupert has for her
money m other lines. Mr.
Manson surely was not serious
when he said that he would not
protect the power for the city
if we did not now adopt his pet
scheme. The mountains of
British Columbia are. full of
water powers and we can al-
Ways get a suitable stream even
if we had to enter the Bulkley
valley.

ever

Most of those who favor ty-
ing up the city have not a dol-
lar invested here. Some of
them never had in spite of their
now boasted confidence. What
money they have had has been
placed in Vancouver, and now
they- would pose as the city’s
benefactors.

Property owners, what are
you going to do about it? Are
you going to throw away to the
winds the gatherings of your
lifetime? The issue is the most
that. Prince Rupert
will face in a decade. Don't be
influenced by cries of senti..
ment. Settle this as you do
your other business. Vote for
the Hydro-Electric agreement
and yote for Mayor Pattullo
and give’ Prince Rupert” a
chance to tine that pocket of
yours with gold, as it will do
if it does not pass into the
hands of pessimists.
