Mackenzie King but direi-tjy afterwards granted It to Arthur Melgtien, many rople wondrr-ed what difference It tould make which went to the ruuntrjr. They did not understand Home modern political development. No sooner was .Mr. Meighen In the saddle and the election campaign well under way than he let a contract tor n huge hotel to he built at Vuncouter for the railway company. At the time of letting the contract he had no mandate frBm the people and did not represent a majority of the members of the House of .Commons. Other contracts were Jet and agreement entered Into with powerful Interests and there was plenty of money for the campaign. It was undoubtedly donated by someone who stood to make something out of the fSovernment. , 'cw Mackenzie King says In effect that the contracts were never sane-tloned by representatives of the people, so he cancels them. . It Is Impossible ;to sue ajcoverument without Its own consent, Mr. King U In a safe position but the pnphrwJio hM the' contracts and w"ho presumably made handsome donations ' " ' ' ;tothe anipalsn""funds, are'ratiter out)f luk. T . SYSTEM WKO.M1. NOT ONLV'thE PAIITY. ' The system of letting contracts Just be fore an election with the lda of bribing the electors H a wrong one, It lias nothing to recommend It evrept that it Is sometimes effective. Conservative are not the only sinners In this regard, but there have been other glaring occasions, one or which, was stopped by a gov emor who understood constitutional Issues. That time the Governor refused to accept' advice to make appointments until the election was ove- and the paople had spoken. I nhapplly It is necessary to have money In order to conduct an election. No election can well be won without It. There are a lot of legitimate expenses that are Incurred. The money Is supposed to be subscribed by those who have the good of the country at heart but usually it Is subscribed by men with l.lg Interests, for a specific purpose, either to secure some financial advantage or to gain a political favor or to purchase Immunity. In any case the whole system Is subversive of the best form of democratic government, ELECTIONS AHE VERY COSTLY. Election are very rostly. Not only ore they costly to the randldate who Is running but also to the party managers and to the country. An election In Canada costs the country over a million dollar directly. Indirectly the cost Is caslly'twlce tliut amount, probably a great deal more, That Is one reason 'why election should not be held often. It Is to be hoed, for that reason alone, that there will b'f.nii further political disturbance for several years to come. Election make for Instability, for national uneasiness, and for stagnation of business. . . . . DIITICCLTJTO I'LAV' ! r. . . , , . v , . . . ,ji .; j . ALTERNATIVE SCHEME. It Is difficult to plan a scheme for holding election which would pro-Tide against the abuse of political power by big concerns. Money must be provided and if the state provides It. the opportunities for unequal distribution would be'tery great. Take Prince Rupert as an example, It Is a huge constituency ' and the cost of getting around I so great that a large sum of money must necessarily be available for the use of the candidate or his committee. This Is particularly true when the candidate has no 'money of his own to spend. The money must I.e secured and eventually It conies out of the pockets of the people. That Is usually the reason for contributing It, so that It may return, many fold. It Is 11 question of casting your wealth upon the political waters. After many day. It will, ret urii to you fourfold. for iou PUTS BEEF INTO YOU time to develop Its own power project It was unlikely he felt that any powei concern would come Into the cut unless It had the privilege of distributing power In the city and. on the other hand, It wa unlikely the citizens would approve of such a project. Therefore, he thought that the city should take over the dry dock plant, change It from coal to oil burning, and then It 'would be possible for the city to supply such industries as the Cold Storage with power. City Engineer McLean, who was also present at the meeting, was called upon for hi advice but stated that, as he bad not gone Into the proposition ! thoroughly, he wa not prepared to give his opinion at this time. ONLY hOLl'TION Aid. L&rsen felt that the city would sooner or later have to face the problem for further power development In the meantime, the only solution hi could see wa to utilize the dry dock plant. He would not be in favor of taking over the dry dock, however, unless the revenue received would pay for It operation. Aid. Jo. Preer believed the wholt, crux of the matter lay In what kind of an agreement the city wa going to make with the dry dock. There would have to be further information anc advice before any definite answer could be given the Cold Storage. Aid, Brown pointed out that If there wis delay the city might lose the Cold Storage.' He was' In favor of taking over the dry dock plant even If It go' the one cent rate. It might be pos sible, however, to do better than that. City Solicitor Jones was of the opin ion that the city could get a better rate from the dry dock by dealing per-(finally with Mr, Keeley, Aid. Brown then asked how long thj Cold Storage could wait for the city's decision. Mr. Johnson, In reply, said that, If it were Imperative, the cold storage could wait two or three day. . He explained that the cause for haste wa because, if the plant could get the city power, it was the Intention to Install during the close season new machinery to the value of 70,000 or (80,000. It woula take perhaps thirteen weeks to have the machinery delivered here and further time to lnstal It. It could be readily teen that no time was to be lost If the work were to be complete by February 15,- when the halibut season would be open again. The company could not have' its plant tied up after that date, at to Jtbe :rf, Mr,, Johnson said the company would be satisfied with the same rate that was given the elevator though he pointed out that competitors In the south were getting a better rate. As for the problem before the council, Mr. Johnson saw the taking over of the dry dock plant as the only solution since it would be necessary to have is any way to supply the elevator wltii power, INCREASE CAPACITY Mr, Nlcholls stated that one of the main reasons lor the Cold Storage converting to electric machinery was that the capacity 'of the plant would be In creased. The fish business was growing and, if the new machinery were not Installed, the company might not even be able to take care of all next year's demands. Aid. Casey believed that If the city, took on such contracts as the Cola Storage It would be necessary to have some kind of an auxiliary plant so thai continuous service could be guaranteed even In case of breakdown. In his opinion, the whole thing meant furthet power development. j Aid. L&rsen felt that such a contract as that with the Cold Storage would help the. city to finance another powoi' unit of its own. Aid. Brown declared that the revenue from the cold storage aud the elevate would cover the fixed charge on another power Unit. The discussion ended with the carry, lng of a resolution, moved by Aid. Jos. Greer and seconded by Aid. Brown, that Mr. Little and Mr, McLean go into the whole proposition again and report at s special meeting of the council Friday night when a final decision will bo made with respect to the application Hk DAILY' NtfW9 WSDiTKSOAY, ocrourK fi Cold Storage Company Makes Application to City for Power and Council Discusses Matter Being confronted ;wtth the question of supplying the Canadian Kith A: Cold Btorage Co. with powder at a ac rate which would bring tn a revenue of about 18.000 annually and an Immediate tnswer being desired by the storage company a to whether or' not It can be supplied, the city council lost night engaged lu another lengthy discussion of the power situation with particular reference to the matter of having such power furnished frcm the dry dock plant T. II. Johnson, Cold Storge manager, aud J. WV Nlcholls, comptroller;, were present at the meeting for the purpose of explaining their needs to the aldermen. Summarizing what had taken plate to date In connection with the matter, Mayor Newton stated that the Cold Storage had made an application j 3, Uu. Canndlan j, Cold 6tor for power and wanted quick action. , Word had been received from the dry! " dock management that. In return for . 3 the city taking over the dry dock plant. the dock would expect a lc rate for power. Hit Worship pointed out tha without the dry dock plant, the city would be unable to deal with the Cold Storage application. sit I'ERINIENDENT'S ADVICE J. J. Little, superintendent of. utilities, who was present at the meeting, was called upon for his advice. His recommendation waa to the effect thai the city pay the operating cost of the dry dock plant and give the dry dock a cne-cent rate for power, this to be a temporary measure pending the city's power supply being taken over by an outside concern or the further development of Wood worth Lake being decided upon. Aid. Brown felt that. If the city took over the dry dock plant, years. It would give the THE MAN IN THE MOON uys: Apparently Vancouver got It In th Jtck for voting wrong.
