Nov. 17, 1927 DECISION OF THE MAYOR Many Prince Rupert people will regret the decision of Mayor Newton not to again enter the mayoralty contest. He has held the position as chief magistrate of the city for eight terms, and if offering would have a good chance of being elected for a ninth. He has held the confidence of a large section of the community through good report and evil and even though often powerless to make His influence felt to any extent owing to an adverce majority in the council. We have not always agreed with the mayor but we have always recognized the position he has held in this community and on many occasions have been able to give him wholehearted support. Just now it will be difficult for the paper which he controls to express the regrets of the community, so we take pleasure in doing it GOOD MAN NOW NEEDED It is to be hoped that the people of Prince Rupert will make wise choice 6f a successor to Mr. Newton. There is possibility of several candidates being in the field. Already at least three names have been mentioned and more may yet decide to enter the race. Either Alderman Greer, Alderman Stephens or Colonel McMordie would make good executives and there are a number of others in the city who also could qualify for the position. This is a time to choose a -good man rather than show personal preferences. SCENE IN .BRITISH HOUSE When there is nothing else doing in the world the British House of Commons comes to the rescue and stages a theatrical scene. It used to be a fracas w,ith the Irish members but sinee the Irish question has been settled the Laborites have taken the floor and put up a show for the amusement of the world, but more particularly to impress their constituents that they are on the job and putting up a proper fight. In Britain, just as in Canada, they play politics. They do things for the effect it will have' on the multitude. The average voter elects a man who is ready to put up a good fight, no matter whether rightor wrong. LEADERS ARE PEOPLE WHO LEAD Leaders are people who lead but Lord Grey in a speech in England mentions that often people who today pose as leaders are those who keep their ears to the ground in order to discover the trend of thought and then adapt themselves and shape their policies to cater to it. On the other hand the leader is one who becomes enthused with an idee, who shapes a policy and then goes out to the hustings and shows the people that he is right He carries them with him through the force of his eloquence, his logic and the righteousness of his cause. That is the man who leads. We :have very few of them in the country today. VANCOUVER PRICES IN CIT Some firms are beginning to advertise their goods at Vancouver prices, or at eastern prices and some at least do sell as low here as the merchants in the south. The tendency is toward ttiat condition. As the city increases in, size 3ind shipments of goods become larger,. prices are shaded more closefy. It is more ih tfie ifttle thih'gt jlhat prices are kept up. In the larger cities the fifteen cent stores Keep down the prices of notions and it will not be long before something of that sort will happen here. On several occasions the fifteen cent store officials have been here to look over the ground. At any rate what we need is to be able to do business on an equality with Vancouver. Often local merchants undersell ih outh. Again arid again we see goods offered here at prices lower than they can be purchased in the larger cities and this is because rentinare lower here. It is an end much to be desired. We do not want any differentiation between this city and others in the cost of living In order that we may be able to compete in the industrial world and thus bring business here.

Multiply that by our sugar consumption and you hare HA10M0 as the sum we pay above Ajnertean prtees for our sugar. WHAT HE 1BT In 126 the total wagaa paid by all the refiners of Canadian sugar amounted to tOWMOe. Now doat go top last, please. That Is total wages paid and Include wages paid for refining the sugar exported. Export Uut year were not Urge 100.COO.000 rjopnds. but de- duet the cost of refining this and we reduce by 1-8 the amount pafct to Can adian labor for refining sugar for Canadian consumption, leaving net wages at 1 2 .433 .000 as wages paid by OanaoHan refiners. Salaries amounted to 931 MO. Salaries In this business' are very high j In proportion to wages. Muugen In the business get good pay. Add salaries snd wages and we get r ought ly 13,400,- 060. The conclusion of the whole matter is very simple. We pay tn extra' prices of sugar at least t4.000.000 tn order to protect an Industry which pays i In salaries and wages lew than MJ00.-! 000. There la no guess work la this argument, the figures are the figure ot the refiners OTIIEK IWCTOKS In answer to that, the refiners fell as that other costs must be taken Into eonslderanoB. We have coMer weather in Canada. So they tell m. Then why tax sugar which Is a beat forming food? Surely sugar refiners do not suffer from the cold any more than other people. They say that other raw materials used, cost a pile of money, yea. but they are very careful to hate other rv nattmis use-lde from suar- on theirresilifti v ' i'l tr1 ; i ' t '. The whose problem narrows down to this one point Is it economically profitable to encourage Industries tn Canada when the Canadian people must pay In the prkes charged lor the commodity produced, a vuper charge over world prices of more than the entire wages paid tn the Industry? In other words wUl we keep Canadians at home by taxmg them more than they earn and giving the taxes to our millionaires? What does It cost? How does it figure out In Saskatchewan, taking that as a typical province merely because the application came from there. We consume 800.000,000 or roughly 80 pounds of sugar per head, Depopulation, The added price taking 50 cent a hundred as the basis is to cents for every man. woman and child In Saskatchewan. I At 40 cents, with a total population of 621.042. we have a tax In that province S3Z3.4 18.80 on the rural population aiene it amounts to t23 1,390.40. Should these people by law be compelled to pay thh tax not to the federal revenues, but to our sugar refiners? Imagine If you will, an average rwestern rural family of five. After paying all the expenses of the year, the head of the family sticks his hand In his pocket and pulls out WOO which he hands to our sugar refiners. If this were the only outfit assessing the fanner It might be let pats, but there are hundreds of others. OBJECT OF T.tRIIIC That In a nutshell Is the problem. That is what tariffs In this country are for.
