We have often spoken highly of Mr. Bennett and his work and -we take particular pride just now in pointing to the Australian treaty which his government negotiated and which should prove of great benefit to British Columbia. Here, however, is a different case. After proper thought and consultation the finance minister announces deliberately and with proper political eclat that the revenue of the country is to be raised in a certain manner, partly from income tax. One provision of this tax is that the old time Liberal graduated tax be modified and that after reaching 25 per cent the increases stop, thus allowing those few who have huge incomes to escape more lightly than in the past. The Liberals at once declared it was a rich man's budget and as Mr. Bennett is himself reputed to be many times a millionaire, it was said that he and his rich friends would particularly be the ones who would benefit f rorh the change. The goading continued and as a result Mr. Bennett declared that the change would not be made but that the last year's schedules would remain with the exception of the tax on corporations. Now, Mr. Bennett was either right or wrong when he first enunciated his policy. It must have been a well-considered policy for the budget is something that is always looked upon as a vital document considered and reconsidered by the administration in all its bearings. Also Mr. Bennett still maintains that it was the correct policy and may be reintroduced next year. If the policy was right Mr. Bennett was weak in giving it up just because he was criticized. If it was wrong it should never have been included in the budget changes. It is our opinion that right or wrong, Ir. Bennett would have made a better public appearance by sticking to his guns and ignoring the personal criticisms. If he gives up this, what will he give up next? Will he give up the tariff, if it can be shown that the change benefitted him personally? "H. W "V. CAMPAIGN FUNDS The announcement that huge funds were contributed to the political parties for campaign purposes will startle a good many but it is no new thing. It is being done every year, else how could the parties carry on. People must have known that. They know here that in some recent elections large sums of money were expended in and around Prince Rupert in carrying on the various campaigns. No poor man could conduct a campaign such as those waged here, hire boats, cars, halls, advertise in the newspapers, stop at the best hotels and all from the few local contributions that are made to the political funds. It simply could not be done. Where then did the money come from? Possibly people thought it came from the clouds. We are not condoning the giving of large sums for campaign purposes. AH we wish to mention is that if people who take part in politics are glad to get outside help to fight their political battles they may be sure that the money is put up by someone with an axe to grind. It is unfortunately part of the present system and as long as it costs a lot of money to conduct an election, the money will have to be secured from someone who has a good deal ot it and v ho is willing to contribute.
