Tle
reduction
of
the
capitalization
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
will
be
before
parliament
at
the
coming
session,
upon
a
report
from
Sir
Heniv
Thornton
dealing
with
the
subject
and
proposing
a
plan
to
be
adopted.
No
doubt
there
will
be
some
opposition
to
this
step,
and
a
letter
published
in
a
Montreal
newspaper
indicates
the
source
from
which
I
some
of
thi
opposition
may
be
expected.
This
correspondent,
writing
under
the
name
"Economist,"
speaks
with
surprising
frankness.
Referring
to
the
prospective
revision
of
the
obligations
of
the
Canadian
National,
he
says:
"The
important
point
to
the
taxpayer
is
that
such
a
revision
will
at
once
operate
to
create
the
belief
that
the
system
i
now
on
a
fair
paying
basis
a
belief
which
will
at
once
give
rise
to
liifUfKS-tion
fo
lover
freight
rates.
That
agitation
is
perennial,
and
as
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway,
by
reaping
a
high
dividend
on
a
very
small
Mock
issue
has
the
reputation
of
being
a
very
profitable
enterprise,
the.
only
safeguard
isgainst
rash
reduction
of
rates
in
response
to
general,
if
uninformed,
public
opinion,
is
the
fact
that
the
Canadian
National
Railways
are
obviously
not
eurning
a
fair
return
on
investment,
even
unde
;the
very
competent
direction
of
the
present
president.
To
remove
this
safeguard
by
an
arbitrary
lowering
of
capitalization,
and
a
resulting
false
appearance
cf
profitable
operation
of
both
road;
is
to
precipitate
an
irresistible
demand
for
immediate
toweling
of
rules
with
consequent
serious
riamag:

NATIVE
BANDS
Something
that
Mr.
Wilson
did
not
mention
in
connection
with
the
proposed
festival
was
that
of
the
native
bands
and
choirs.
Some
of
the
bands
have
played
in
Prince
Rupert
and
the
choirs
have
been
heard
by
visitors
to
the
native
villages
and
great
surprise
has
been
expressed
at
the
high
quality
of
the
performers.
These
might
be
made
a
great
feature
of
the
festival.
The
natives
of
northern
British
Columbia
are
developing
very
rapidly
and
are
