AGE FOUR ThurUy Fel I FARMERS MUST KNOW THE LAW T.lXAItlW FAKMr.R AMI CAYWIIAX LUV" TITLE OF .IKTIfLF. HY INsrKfTOK I'AltsOXs Probably there s no civilian 'calling in wnicn a xncwiecge or law 1 more useful than to those engaged in the business of laming writes Inspector T. W. S. Parsons In the British Columbia Public Service Bulletin. No man Is more Intimately . touched by legislation, and at some time In his career what farmer has not desired a little in- formation or an immediate remedy in the matter of annoyance caused by man or beast, damage to property, trespass, theft, or on some other equal' ly Important subject? Perhaps a crisis occurs, one's attorney lives miles away, the law must be taken Into one's own hands, yet something and the right thing must be done at once. What? Under the by no mean unusual circumstances outlined possibly prelimin ary information and advice may be reasonably offered by one who for many years has served In a Canadian Provincial Police Force and who, from listening to scores of ill-founded com plaints, teels that a knowledge of legal principles however elementary would tend to prevent many common mlsun derstandlngs. They are wise men who consider that an appeal to the courts should be a final recourse, and then only to be undertaken after every other attempt to arrive at an honest settle ment has failed. Be the result what It may. there is no money in It. an established fact their patient brethren usually learn by bitter experience. Another and more regrettable feature Is that quite often the outcome of some trivial prosecution, which might easily have been avoided in the first play, has ultimately engendered a hatred which only bloodshed would appease. Although time, mutual forbearance, and common sense effectually smooths over many a complication, there will always remain bona fide causes for complaint, causes requiring an acquaintanceship with law to elect their speedy, satisfactory, and Inexpensive settlement. Believing, then, that the Public Service Bulletin is a singularly happy medium through which to acquaint the British Columbian farmer with his country's laws, this series of articles is Intended to serve as a brief introduction to our Criminal Code and various Federal statutes. Conciseness with clarity will be attempted, and be cause overmuch law is a tedious and wearisome thing, only Its bare and necessary essentials will be presented IS. X. A. ACT One of the greatest, if not the constitutional change In Canadian history was signalized when the Br! tlsh North America Act was passed in the year 1867. and before dealing with our main subject some explanation will be given in regard to this most lm portant Imperial statute. Important, be cause it is the legal foundation of the Canada we know today: this measure abolished an old regime with, among other things. Its Upper and Lower Canada our modern Ontario and Quebec. It also made possible the subsequent creation of Manitoba. Saskatchewan, and Alberta, and permitted the Confederation to Include British Colum bia a separate colony until 1871. Under its provisions, too, the Federal Parliament at Ottawa was enabled to pass laws applicable to Dominion neces sities as a whole: In other words, legls latlon dealing with crime, trade and commerce, taxation, postal service, navi gation, railways, banking, insolvency, currency, inniana. naturalization, mar riage and divorce, defence, penlten tlarles, quarantine, fisheries, weights and measures; - In fact, with everything pertaining to national welfare, scorn or ritovixciAi, laws On their part the various provinces. either then brought into existence or formed later, were given the privilege of exercising powers .necessary for their Internal requirements; that k to say, within their boundaries the) might legislate upon education, local taxation company incorporations, the solemnlza tion of marriage, the administration of criminal and civil Justice, and all other matters of a purely domestic nature. Of peculiar interest to farmers was the mutual agreement with respect to their chosen calling. The Act declared that both federal and provincial gov ernments might pass laws In connec tlon with agriculture, and that both have done so goes without saying. The Canadian farmer in consequence la surrounded with a rather bewildering array of legislation specifically designed for his protection much of which, and perhaps, fortunately, he will never even hear about. This may be regarded as especially so when It la remembered that between 1887 and the present day the federal and nine provincial govern menu have passed laws and amending laws sufficient to fill many a large volume) Tin: kino's 'uixti:iis However, as It is with some of the provincial Acts that fanners are mostly concerned, a general Idea of their pur port will be given later, but, with this recommendation, wnen imormatlon be yond the scope of these articles is de sired, the full text of whatever statute deals with Hie subject should be pro cured from the printing department of your provincial government. These printing bureaux, both federal and pro Tlnclal, are in charge of an official known as the King' Printer, one of whose duties 1 to print and supply copies of parliamentary Acts for a puret ly nominal fee.

CLASS TO Mr I GREAT INCREASE IN PRODUCTION I'l ltl.lC MAY flAIX SOME IllKA fltO.J IKUKKS OK TIM licit AXO MIX- I IXfl KXI'AXSlOX IX ILC I VICTORIA, Feb. 24. Some Idea of the enormous increases la production from the primary Industries of British Columbia may be obtained by the people of this province from a atudy of statistics recently compiled by the various departments of the public service at Victoria. It is shown, for instance, that fores try production has grown In value from t35.528.000 in 1918 to 184.802.000 in 1926. The most striking comparison under this heading Is that furnished by the Increase in the value of pulp and paper manufactured in the province. In 1916 it stood at 3 .520.000; but last year this had advanced to no less a sum than 116.315.000. Lumber value increased from 1 2 1,075 .000 In the decade under review to (42 516,000. Similarly encouraging is an increase in the value of shingles, from 44.5O0.0O0 in 1916 to tlO.500.000 last year. In every branch of this basic industry, in fact, operations in 1926 were strikingly in excess of the returns for even a year of so ago. IJOTH KOKKSTS AXU MIXK.S What is true of forestry production is true of mineral, production. In this Industry the total value in 1916 was $42290.000 as compared with a value in 1926 of $67,718,400. It should be re membered, however, thst the year 1916 was one of large war demands at prices far above the normal: consequently the two totals do not bear the same relation ship aa might otherwise be the case. At the same time the total value of metalliferous products in 1926 amounted to $52585,400 compared with 126.895.680 ten years ago. The largest increase under this head was in respect of lead, the value for 1916 being 13.007.4 62 and for 1926 no less than $17,680,000. Copper, on the other hand, the principal war requisite, represented a value of $17,-784.494 in 1916 and only $13,650,000 last year. These figures form an Interesting study of solid progress In two of the most important basic Industries of the province. Their expansion very naturally has contributed to the prosperous conditions which British Columbia now 1 enjoying of which many prominent economic and commercial experts have spoken ao enthusiastically during the last few months.

Publication of the "weights" his quickened public Interest in the Orand National steeplechase and the Lincolnshire, which are to be run near the end of next month. The great steeplechase will not seem quite the same this year, decause of the death of Old Tay Bridge, veteran cha.er, who has had a long and not- Able career In the National. He never won the race, but waa second In 1923 and 1926. and had been allotted top weight of IH pounds for this year National. Jack Horner, winner of the race last yer, Is 10th In the table of eights with 162 pounds. In the Lincolnshire, first of the prlng flat race handicaps, King oi Clubs, winner last year, is handicap pd only 98 pounds, being about 40th In the table. Entries for the Orand National, to be run oter the tamous Alntree course at Jterpool on Friday, March Si, four .niles and B6 yards, number about 70; and there are about 60 entries for the Lincolnshire, a straight mile, run at Liceoln on the preceding Wednesday. The Orand National la probably the iitatest purely -sporting event left Lr. racing. Unlike the other outstanding races of the year, betting on the National Is not large, but for the ver food reason that a four-mile course with numerous and dangerous Jump plays havoc with any field that starU. A good horse 'can fall as badly as poor horse, while a poor horse in falling can bring down the horses behlne him, be they tbt best of Jumpers. LICK COtXTS Accordingly, while many horses are In the entry list with apparently not the remotest chance of winning. It doei not follow that they cannot wla Jack Horner was little fancied at this time last year, but he won. Double Chance In 1925 and Master Robert In 1934 were both practically "outsiders," but they both won. It Is the element of luck jjid Us truly sporting nature which jiake the race what, it Is. It cannot be championship because it Is a bandl- -ip, unlike the three-year-old Classics it the Ascot Oold Cup.
