Industry Flour

  

Over a hundred families in this province are sapported
by the British Columbia industry of making Royal Stand-
ard Flour.. If YOU use Royal Standard Flour you are
helping to maintain that payroll in British Golumbia. Also
if you use Royal Standard Flour you know there is NO
BETTER flour made. So you know you are not only get-
ting good flour, but you are helping to keep over a hun-
dred men in employment. That means a hundred
less applicants for the job your husband may need soon,
‘The more Royal Standard Flour that is consumed in Brit-
ish Columbia the easier it will be for your husband to
hold his job or to get another.

Every dollar you spend for British Columbia products is
a dollar contributed to a patriotic — the one’ that
keeps industry going at home.

Of course W Royal Standard Flour were not as good as
other flours we would have no right to ask you to. buy it
on any grounds, but we know it is good and it is a home
industry.

the stand that whatever differ-

might consider that these differ-

up in 1914 the same work we had

back in power a policy of free

of protection has been removed
will be adhered to, or I would not
be standing here tonight.

Two Important Matters.

“There are just two matters
which IT wish to diseuss tonight.
The first is something that oceur-
red very recently. Those of you
who remember the old days will
remember that part of my plat-
form set forth the government
ownership of railways and not
their subsidizing. That question
ean searee be called a political
question. Both parties are astray
railway construction. So I
not attack the Conservative
party for its railway policy. Both
parties bonded the G. T. P. heav-
ily. The Federal government had
supported it and the provincial
government had contributed to it
by large grants of land in Prince
Rupert.

“When we proposed as far back
as 1900 the government's owning
the railway, it was said that it
would result in a heavy debt. Well,
the government could not deny
that railway a big bonus. The
result is that it has a big debt,
but doesn’t own the railway.

Gg. T. P. Stand.

“Now the G. T. P. is taking the
stand in Prinee Rupert that it
will not sell or lease the land un-
less the merchant requiring it for
business purposes shall pledge
himself to give every pound of
freight to the G. T. P. to haul for
him. The railway will not give
him trackage if he does not make
this pledge. In all the history of
landlordism in Ireland no land-
lord ever tried to enforee such
a principle as that. And yet the
G. T. P. says that you must enter
into a binding contract or you
cannot have a foothold. If you
are going to have a monopoly you
ought to have railways.”

Mr. Martin’s other matter
which he wished to discuss was
the Canadian banking system.

United States government has
made radical changes. Canada is
now the only country in the world
where the banks are allowed to
issue paper and take all the prof-
its. In Canada finances are con-
trolled by the banks. In the
United States the same thing was
the rule once. The panic of 1907
was deliberately caused by the
great interests trying to over-
reach one another. Now the U.
8. reserve banks are under gov-
ernment control. No one with

here.
Money for All.

“The reserve banks can “teoue
bills to any one with sufficient se-
curity. It is about time for a
change in the Canadian banking
system and I think that both par-
ties should take the matter up.
The Bankers’ Association of Can-
ada is the greatest trust of all
and if it was in the United States
they would all be in jail. There
should be a law making it a crim-
inal offence to act as they do.”

 

Toronto, Dec. 2.—Kesidents of
St. Clair Avenue Square and Sin-
clair Avenue have not allowed pa-
triotism to overcome their sense
of euphony, and have sent peti-
tions to the street naming eom-
mittee protesting against the pro-
posed changes in the = street
names to Britannia Avenue and
Jellicoe Avenue, respectively. The
Sinelair Avenue petition Jeclares
“that none of the residents want
the name Jellicoe,” and suggests
that the name should be Prince
Rupert Avenue.

 

NO CHANGE TILL END OF WAR.
