Tuesday, March 22. 1S32 CONFERENCE AT OTTAWA For the first time in history a British Imperial Conference is being held outside of London. Ottawa has been chosen for the honor and Canadians will all take a very keen interest In the proceedings. The British government has appointed its delegates to the conference, Ex-Premier Baldwin being leader of the group. Doubtless Premier Bennett will lead the Canadian delegates and the other British nations will have equally prominent men to represent them. The importance of the occasion is accentuated by the fact that since the last meeting the Canadian proposals made through Premier Bennett have been accepted by the British government and now the various parts of the Empire are ready for reciprocal action. Britain has not been slow to move since the recent change in government there and when the coming conference is over it is likely that Canada will be in a position to benefit largely by the improved financial condition of Britain and by the fact that she is a member of the commonwealth of nations. Premier Bennett can rest assured that in any steps he may take for the benefit of Canada, the whole country will back him irrespective of party allegiance. The people of Canada are not in a position today to allow their political feeling to interfere with their support of any beneficial measures. What we need today is more business and less politics. Measures which will make for genuine progress are being demanded by all the people. We must not live too much in the past. Conditions are changing every day and a forward policy will meet with general approval. SENATOR ROBERTSON'S WORD It seems that we have the word of Senator Robertson. unui recently minister 01 labor m the Bennett cabinet, . i ??s on the advi'ce of t,ie government of the province iiwou uiuuwid, me amount 01 reiiei money had been cut from five millions to slightly over three millions. Yet all this time the members of the provincial government were blaming the federal government for being respon- ouic iui SIJUL-UUWn 01 WOTK. t We have carefully avoided anything that might be con sidered Dartisan rritfrism nf tho 6 ""'till ill UUUJICt V tion with Ai the relief 1. work this winter. It is too serious a inuuer 10 oe maae a political footbalL Now everyone must be satisfied that the Tolmie government was responsible and not the Bennett government RESULTS ALMOST NIL A good deal of money was expended in and near Prince Rupert in relief but very little results have been obtained. I he city went to work in good faith expecting to get the support of the government in completing the works that they started. When the improvements were getting pretty well advanced there was a sudden shut-down owing to the cut-off in the supply of money, and the result is that in various parts of the city may be seen streets partly graded and left in such a condition that in some cases residents are seriously inconvenienced. On the highway, camps have been erected and men kept there in idleness and practically no work done. In a season when the highway work could have been advanced considerably at low cost, no advancement has been made. lhis is not a party criticism. It is a serious wrong that has been done the city and district, one that will militate against us m future years. PUBLICITY TEST Roger Babson has made a test of the rival advantages of publicity through the newspaper and by means of radio JLTtrXS ?a ?e Vlctoria Colonist. He appropriated $6,000 for the advertising of his agency; half to be spent on newspaper publicity and half on broadcasting. The radio publicity brought him 14 replies; that through the newspapers resulted in 4,000 requests for information. The comparison is an illuminating one. Mayor C. II. Orinc names are on the voters' list, I find from an examination of the Dro- vincial list that there are literally hundreds of people in this riding entitled to be on it, whose names are not now thereon, and if there should be an election this summer they will not be entitled to rote un less they attend to the matter this month. ' It is always a matter of the deeo- est regret to the person concerned when, on election day. he finds that he cannot exercise his franchise because he did not take sufficient in terest beforehand to see that his name was on. It will take only a few moments for an applicant to go into the gov ernment agent's office and have his or her name put on the list. Or. if that Is impossible it will be attended to gratis by any law office in the city or at Dybhavn & Hanson's office, or before any election com- . 1 1 miasioner. Yours truly. L. W. PATMORE. SCHOOL FINANCING Editor, Dally News: I have been interested in readine from time to time, the various ar ticles and letters appearing In your paper on civic and school finances. The collection of Inaccuracies which appears in today's paper over ine name of George Rorle. however, o disgusts my sense of fair nlav that I feel called upon to draw the public attention to certain facta regarding the financial situation. Let me draw your attention to Sec. 66. paragraph 1, of the Public Schools Act which statea: "The treasurer of each municipality shall set apart and keep in a separate account, to be called the 'Board of School Trustees' Account' a) So much and such proportion of the moneys from time to time paid into his hands on account of rates and taxes as will in the aggregate equal the amount ordered to be assessed (il l THE DAILY.NEWS Tuesday. March 22, in, Scenes of Opening of New 'Phone and levied for schobl purposes in the school district in which the mu nicipality is comprised; ibi noneys received by the municipal purpose whatsoever by the mtmtel- al treasurer' And also See. 67, which says.

According to Mr.' Rorte's letter only Kri of this levy was col' ilected which would amount to an proximately $79,800.
