Feb. 2. 1931 SIR HENRY AND RAILWAYS In an article in the Saturday Evening Post of January 23 Sir Henry Thornton has some interesting things to say about railroads. He admits that railroad people have been slow in adopting themselves to changed conditions and ' suggests as one means of giving service to the people that there should be busses on rails, that there should be much closer co-operation between competing lines, particularly through the standardization of equipment and the joint use and pooling of terminal and track facilities, and the; elimination of unprofitable trains when they compete di-i rectly with each other. ! Sir Henry makes a plea for support of the railroads which are national undertakings as against the irrespon-1 sible trucks and busses and suggests that the latter should i be used as auxiliaries to the former but not in competi-1 tion. He shows what a terrible thing it is to a district when , the railways go out of business there and urges much i closer co-operation between the railway and its employees and also between the railway and the people who use it. j When is a war not a war? See China today for the answer. Parliament opens next week and it seems that there never has been a time when its meeting was dreaded as much as it is this year. The work of the federal parliament is likely to be as obnoxious as that of the legislature at Victoria. Without speaking politically we should all like to see them both abolished just now. All they can do is to increase the taxes and intimations have been given that this increase will be made ruthlessly. The budget speech is likely to show a deficit in the Ottawa accounts of something like two hundred million dollars, half of which is in connection with the railways. There has been a tremendous falling off in income from customs dues on imports because the tariff has been raised to a point where itxprevents importations. A retrenchment policy has been adopted but on salaries and such like expenditures only a small saving can be made, just a few millions. What then will Mr. Bennett do? He will undoubtedly increase the tax on business by means of sales or turnover taxes which will have to be paid by the consumer, for business is already hard hit by the depression and can stand no more levies Even here in Prince Rupert the merchants are looking forward with fear and trembling to what may happen. When they have time to get their minds off Victoria they turn them to Ottawa with little comfort. If only the Ottawa parliament and the Victoria legislature could be abolished everybody would be pleased just now. Why worry about the weather. There's plenty of timber on the island if coal is scarce.

Conditions today, he believed, were infinitely better. Tire very circumstances of the old system made it impossible to carry lamping eases were concerned, AkL Llnzey did not think it was fair to use these as an argument against the city detachment Finally, the council had already tested the voice of the people on two occasions and twice they had sanctioned' the provincial pottc. The true principles of dweecracy had been exercised in the taking of these expressions of public opinion. Under the circumstances he was strongly opposed to the motion. Aid. Mscdonald took the stand that, in view of the expression of! public opinion when the two refer-endums had been taken, it would not be In the Interests of democracy for the council to decide on a change without at least again consulting the public. As for economy. Aid. MaeSonald could not see where a city system could be operated any cheaper than the provincial sys- teui uuu ab urc euuic mac week an j the requirements. Aid. Collart felL He was in accord with the views which had been ex- aresBed by pcakers who were opposed to the motion. Mayot Orme staled that he had taken the matter up before the end of last year with Commissioner J. H. McMullln from the financial angle. Major McMullln had stated that the city could have hist as expensive or Just as cheap a force as It wanted. It could have as many or as few men on the force as It nlease. At present the city was ac tually paying $9200 per year for four men and a sergeant In the first nine months of 1931 the force here had operated at a loss of SHOO. In 1930 there had been a profit of $447. He thousht It was no to the people to decide which system they wanted. As far as he personally was concerned, he wus contented with either. In, the course of supplementary remarks. Aid. Casey expressed the opinion that it was easy to find excuses if one wanted to.
