EDITORIAL coo. Prince Rupert welcomes a. Canadian who, by his accomplishments and his position, stands in the forefront of his countrymen. Although there is no way of knowing it, and he would be the last to tell, His Excellency the Governor-General must be a proud man. To reach a place of high recognition without the stepping- stones of compromise or deception; ‘to reach it instead by the intelligent and strong application to duty, is surely a rewarding experience which few can share. But greater perhaps than this is the realization that he is the first Canadian in history to be selected by his own people, of their own accord, to be their sovereign’s representative. It is certainly enough to make a man proud, yet such is the character of the Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey that pride in him has no association with anything vainglor- ious. It has more the quality of a deep appreciation which binds him still further to generous and understanding service of his country. It is this that makes it possible for him, while occupying a supreme office, to remain one of his people whom he represents with such distinction. To him and his party, ali of northern British Columbia extends a warm and sincere greeting. | ‘Government May Slice Other Taxes VICTORIA (CP)—The Social Credit government plans to abolish the three- per-cent sales tax on res- taurant meals under one dollar, Premier Bennett told a public meeting last night, He sald the sales tax on some other items also will be abol- ished, and that the government plans to reduce other taxes at the spring session of the Legis- lature. The Social Security and Municipal Aid Tax—known as the sales tax—was put into effect by the Coalition Gov- ernment in 1948 and_ since that time has been the target of many complaints. The government diverted one- third of the tax collected to municipalities and the balance has been used for sovial service benefits, mainly to old age pen- sioners. FOR EDUCATION The one-third portion has been given to municipalities to assist them im holding down education costs. While the gov- ernment did not earmark the moneys specifically for educa- tion, most municipalities have |used the additional revenue for US.
