Attorney General Bowser of British Columbia has formally warned Mr. Moses Cotsworth that he will have something to say at a convenient season about that gentleman's charac- ter. The intimation proves how serious is the politieal crisis in British Columbia. Moses Cots- worth is a well known English accountant and _ statistician, who, on various occasions, has assisted Canadian govern- ments, including that of Brit- ish Columbia, to draft im- portant legislation. He came out from England to British Columbia in 1908 to help in framing the Public Service Bill, and has been a resident of the province ever since, Mr. Cots- worth was appointed in 1909 chairman of a commission to regrade the British Columbia civil service, and had some trouble with the government in connection with that work, which sent him into opposi- tion. He has accumulated a vast mass of material from the provincial archives, official documents and other sources, upon which the Ministerial As- sociation of the lower main- land of British Columbia has based the charge that: “Immense areas of the choicest land have been stolen from the people and the crown in British Columbia, and though the government rec- ords in the land offices throughout the province show this clearly, steps what- ever have been taken to recover these lands or punish the de- spoilers of the people. On the contrary, the Attorney General no declared on the floor of the House that ‘the’ speculator have his chance.’ So hundreds of speculative friends have been allowed to seize more land than they can even pay taxes for. And now, by the passing of Bill No. 16 on the third of March last, the Lieu- tenant Governor in Council can postpone the payment of any moneys due or accruing due to the crown by any such men and for such a time as the government may advise.” must In this blunt statement that the lands of the province have been stolen and that Mr. Bows- er has so manipulated legisla- tion that the men who have stolen it are to have every op- portunity of keeping it be found the real issue in Brit- ish Columbia. Not Moses, but the land thieves. The charac- ter of Mr. Cotsworth—of whom is to the Ministerial Association speaks highly—is not the question before the province. Has he stated the facts as they are? Has the province been looted? Did the stand by while the looters were at work without endeavoring to enforce the law? These are the matters upon which judgment will be rendered. government The cost of governing Brit- ish Coiumbia while all these of agricultural, timber, and coal lands were in exploitations progress increased enormous- The got the profits and the people paid the cost of the roads without which the lands would have remained ly. speculator inaccessible. Before the Mc- Bride government came _ to power twelve years ago the revenue of the province per head of population was $11.44 and the expenditure $19.90. Now the total revenue, inelud- ing the province’s half of the receipts from the head tax of $500 all Chinese entering the Dominion of the Pacific, is $26.70 per head of on by way population, while the expendi- ture has grown to the amazing figure of $40.70 per head. On the same capita basis Ontario would spend considerably over a hundred millions a year to carry on the provincial admin- istration, Facts such as these cannot be controverted by attacking the character of the man who has dug them out and mar- shalled. them against the gov- ernment. Mr. Bowser does not yet understand that he is on trial, not Mr. Cotsworth. Sir Richard McBride's reign nears an end.
