Prince Rupert merchants say that their customers like to buy goods of tho host quality. They aro a discriminating people. If there are any Prince Rupert people not taking the Dairy News regularly we suggest that they are making a mistake in not taking the best. The price is now so low that it is a mistake to do without the paper that circulates throughout the district. Call up the Daily News business office and auk tliatthQkboy cajl.and collect. 10 c. Weekly Commence Getting the Paper Tomorrow 1.40 .02 .25 li Tuesday, Dec. 8, 1931 For gome time past the Daily News has been telling the people of Prince Rupert and district that they can do just as well by buying from Prince Rupert merchants as from the outside. That is all very well but the merchants themselves must back that up with their advertising, if it is to become effective. One lone voice will not have much effect. The grocers of Prince Rupert have been proving abundantly that they have the goods and can sell them at the lowest possible prices. The result is that anyone would be crafcy to think of sending out of town when they want to fill their grocery needs. In other lines there has not been such a marked demonstration. Women's goods have been pretty well placed before the people and there has been a good response. It may b taken as axiomatic that the average person would rather buy at home than in the east or south. Sentiment guides them into the store of the local merchant but the finely illustrated catalogues point the way outside. To offset this newspaper advertising helps a good deal, especially if definite prices are mentioned and illustrated, just as they are in the catalogues. So many people have become imbued with the idea that out of town houses are cheaper than local merchants, that only a continued campaign of education can bring them back. CASE FOR PRINCE RUPERT The sitting of the commission dealing with railways gives Prince Rupert a good opportunity to lay her case before the railway heads and others with a view to having recognition made of the strategic position of the port. The Chamber of Commerce will prepare a well considered statement which will be placed in writing and if possible personal representations will be made to members of the commission when they visit the west. As Prince Rupert is vitally interested in railway affairs and many of her citizens have made a close study of the situation, it is to be hoped that the commission will include the city in their western tour and gather first hand information. It might be a good time for Mr. Beattie to look over the railway and terminals and make plans for his line to enter the port and take an active part in future Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup The Children's Coughs Worry The Mother Mr C W.

TO HELP CHAMBER City Council Hill Have Representative on Committee For Railway Commission At the suggestion of Aid. J. H. Pillsbury, the city council last night authorized the mayor to ap point a representative from the i council to collaborate with a com mittee from the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce which will place matters of local Import before the Royal Commission which has j started an Investigation of the railway system of Canada. Aid. Pllls-jbury declared that the commission would probably be dealing with matters of vital Interest to Prince Rupert and it was advisable that, the local case should be placed: ! properly before It. Aid. CoTlart also spoke of the lm- i portanee of the matter. i The Letter Box SUFPOKTS POLICE OFFICER Editor, Dally News: ! I was surprised indeed to read! the diatribe against the provincial, police and game department from: E. C. Stevens of Skldegate which appeared In your paper of yesterday. I think that Mr. Stevens Is bold Indeed to come out as he does In de ; fence of an admitted violation of , the law even If It be only of the ! Game Laws which. In my opinion.) are too generally made light of. I To condemn a police officer fori endeavoring to see that the laws are enforeed seems to me like condemning, an employee for carrying out the lawful tasks assigned to him by his emoloyer. If, however, the police officer was knowingly, not carrying ont his sworn undertaking to see that the laws are enforced and bring to Justice those whom he believes are not observing the laws, then he would be fully deserving of condemnation although, even then, the public, press would, hardly seam, to?bathefolsc for suclTcon-demnatton to be voiced. One would have thought that Mr. Stevens would have been satisfied) wHb the requital accorded the alleged offender by being acquitted of the charge in a properly constituted court of the land without going to the length of rushing Into print to broadcast such a grievance to the whole world. For one, I believe the police' officer concerned Is to be commended for his zeal under dr. eumatances which, to say the IeastJ must be rather trying. LAW AND ORDER MISPLACED KKXIKP MONEY J Editor. Dally News: The taxpayer In general, with the 'exception of the favorites who are ! receiving the benefit of patronage. are wondering hat the outcome ot he present provincial government's : extravagance will be. This government has provided camps for temporary employment, equipped like Ann hotels; (hey have provided meals for those men such as cannot be afforded by the average house-. 'hold; equipment for the workmen, has been more than twice the quantity required; deserted logging: camp has been rented at $625 per month from party friend to house i men; party friends of easy clrcura-, stances have been receiving relief, i pay. j i Provision and equipment pur-' chased have been paying coromls- kstons to party friends who never e the merchandise. In faet the extravagance and orgy of patronage has been so coarse that the friendly government at Ottawa has' refused to be a party! to it. I j j Were times normal this mlsplac- : Ing of the people's trust fund might ' jporatbly go unpunished; but In ex-1 traordlnary Umes like the present. ! j when revenues are rapidly decreas-1 ling, deficits mounting, while at the I rame Ume every conceivable avenue of taxation has been exploited, the i recklemneM of the government hag i asntmed the proportions of a real; crime. Especially is this the case when thousands of our fellow citizens! without Hinds are still in no way provided for Jn any sense. Those fact cannot be successfully contradicted. Under those circumstances who now can question the wisdom of Hon. Mackenzie King's Five Cent Speech.
