PEACE RIVER AGAIN A Again our attention i" drawn to the Peace River Railway by an edltorlil article in the Edmonton Bulletin which reads as follows: Prehrtr Brownlee is by no means disposed to look upon the E.I). Si ll.iv. ayxtem as a white elephant which should be got rid of at any price. He says there has been a marked betterment in the financial position of the lines, and is confident that a further improvement can be made in the future should the province be obliged to continue operation. His conclusion is that the people of the province would be justified in holding the system for a time rather than sell it at too heavy a sacrifice. That is the plain common sense of the situation; provided the system does not mean blocking the way of one of the trans-continentals Into the Peace River countrv. and thus ureventinir the construction of branch railways in ti area and a direct outlet irom u to tne ratine Without control of the E.I). & U.V. neither the National nor the C.P.R. is at all likely to build railway line. in Peace River or an outlet from there to the coast. It will not do to stall the development of the nonh country in hope of getting a good price for the provincial lines. , (iltANDE l'llAIIUU Sl'EAKS I W. C. Pratt, president otbeArind;Pririe Hoard of Trade, injjpn interview with a newspaper Vpfefre nth tM is quoted an naying: "I believe the logical solution of our problem would be to have the development tarried out. by either one or the other of the two transcontinental nyntemn," acid Mr. Pratt, "but 1 waa misquoted as sajfinK that anything i better than provincial control of existing lines. "At present the railways get the benefit of the freight in the long haul to Fort Villiam and it might be to the advantage of a railway to keep thina as they are, instead of spending millions on a coaHt outlet whkh means a shorter haul and less revenue. The reason I have alway udvoeated the Canadian National is that this would appear to be territory geograpliii ally trihutory to that road and it could give the out it t at U-ss cost." Argument Against Any Advance Presented by R. J. Deachman ActlnPHn behalt of the Consumers' League, R. J. Deachman appeared before the Tariff Commission recently opposing lany advance In the duty on cotton. He went Into the history of the cotton business IB Canada and here Is a small action of his sMgument which la ex tremely interesting: Then we have the Dominion Textile Company. The story of that company records the most remarkable financial adventure in Canadian history. The present owners paid 1800,000 for stock with a par value ol W.OOOOOO Year iter year they paid dividends on Its par value. Then as the stock went up in price, they sold valuable rights on this stock. That is to ray, they gave to every holder of tvo shaves, the right to purchase an additional shaie at par when the stock was selling far above 410.00. Then a year ago. they split In three ways so that each shareholder got three shares for one. Today, ihst -nock sells in the market for $130 a share. It has a rspltal valuation of over t29.000.000. In all the years since :t was formed, only M .000,000 has been paid for this stock. What happened to nake It worn over 130.000.000? TOASTED KOTII NIDKN 1 do not think there Is a doubt as to the true answer to that question. Not even for the President of the Bank of Montreal does the manna desqend from Heaven toasted on both sides and buttered. Every dollar of value represented by the difference betweon the selling price of that stock today and the money which waa actually paid for it, representing a contribution made by the consumer of Canada to the Dominion Textile Company. The consumer paid for their cotton and they paid l : the cotton factory as well. The re-;iv- nntatlves of this Corporation are here today, acting as If they owned the itcck They do own it, but the consumers of Canada paid for It. The i oiKsuiiK is paid for It and these gentlemen own ' The consumers put in .vei $8 00 f"i every 1"!lar put In by the iiPr.ie'1 o T! stock today rep; :!. , i1 li.it , ix , .tin !

What happened in that year? In March 1918. the Fifth British Army assaulted by an i.verw helming force of Oermans, reeled, staggered . broke. It was the greatest single disaster which ever befell British arma. The fate of the world hung In the balance. It was a pivotal point In history. The retreating army fought as men never fought before. Down there In Montreal. In the office of the Dominion Textile, at this very time, these gentlemen sheltered by a tariff, raised In order ot pay for the war, quietly announced a dividend equal to 391 per cent on the actual cash paid in for tne common stock.
