PAGE EJX THE DAILY NEWS Tuesday fr, GOOD F0fl ELECTION PLATFORM The election campaign is under way. People are thinking about how they arc going to vote. Here is a tip: CAST YOUR BALLOT FOR August, 1933. Quality T. D. PATTULLO. Shoes If Profitable and permanent Employment Is the meet Important question facing' our people. There should be oo-operatton between the national, provincial and municipal authorities and the Canadian banking system to establish the necessary credit to carry out a brood programme of constructive and useful wage-distributing public enterprise, and to further the health, education and well-being of all our people. An Economic Council should be established, the membership of whkh shall consist of representatives of the various avenues of endeavour, such as health, education, agriculture, labour and the Industrie. This council will be appointed by toe government on recommendation of the Interests Involved, and will act in an advisory capacity to the government. Amongst other things the council will study Industrial and social effort in the provlnee and suggest means to correlate these efforts. It wttl familiarize Itself with Intra, lnter-provindal and foreign trade, and will co-operate with the other province and the Dominion. It will also study such questions as production and consumption, and the marketing of our products, the number of hours of work per day and days of work per week, the standard of wages and commodity prices. These questions are of national as well as provincial concern, and British Columbia can take the lead in urging co-operation with the other provinces and the Dominion as a whole. National Unemployment Insurance should be established upon a contributory basis. 2. Our Financial position must be reviewed. Current expenditure must be kept within current revenue. While maintaining the credit of the provlnee, effort must be made to reduce capital charges. We cannot continue to pay exorbitant rates of interest for money. 3. The Taxation Structure must be revised with a view to reduction wherever possible, Including exemption In the lower scale of wages and salaries. at CUT RATE PRICES We have them for men, women, misses and children at prices that compel attention.

A Brief Synopsis of Liberal Policy HEREWITH is a brief synopsis of policy as laid down by the Liberal Party of British Columbia, in convention held in October, 1932. Many matters of Interest, not specifically set out. will require consideration. The p rind pies enunciated are indicative of the Liberal viewpoint, and are broad enough to meet every question within ptovincial Jurisdiction. The Liberal Party exists as an official organisation for the purpose of formulating and furthering measures that will make for the well-being of each Individual member of society, and the welfare of society as a whole. Innumerable questions, both of public and personal character, can be properly treated only through the agency of government. Government is not an ordinary business, but carries responsibility to meet every problem arising from our complex social and economic con-dlVtoDS, in order that not merely a few, but an of our people may Uve in reasonable comfort. The Liberal Party pledges Immediate action under the beet available advice and closest study. 4 The health of each of us Is Important to the whole community, and a measure of State Health Insurance should be made effecUve, not only to preserve health, but to reduce costs both to the average citizen and to Industry. 5. A general and effective review nrost' be made of the Educational problem, rejecting any proposed organization that Involves a caste' system We must facilitate tho, intellectual, -growth of each Individual member of society In order to equip hfcn for bis daily tasks, and for the enjoyment of such cultural pursuits" as may be lh'keep-tog with our social customs. Triangular disagreements between the sehool boards, municipal councils and the department of education must be adjusted, and our whole system placed upon a sound financial basts. 6 The financial position of our Municipalities Is of Increasing concern. An equitable adjustment must be made as between the provlnee and the municipalities, and the municipalities placed in a sound financial position. 7-An effort should be made to settle our Agricultural Lands in order that more of our dM-zens may be self-supporting. Atrlculture as a whole must be put upon a sound and profitable basts, and made capable of sustaining and directing itself, la line with all other national, baste Industries. 8. Continuous effort should be pot forth to assist industry in Marketing its products, in timber, agriculture, fishing, mining and, In fact, every operation where it appears that useful service can be rendered. 9 Our highways must be kept In good -condition, both for the benefit of settlers and the tour-tot traffic, and expanded as circumstances warrant. In this connection a Highway Board should be established to make for continuity of policy and to inspire confidence in Impartial treatment. 10 A Public Utilities Commission should be established. 11 A National Central Bank should be established. 12. Social Services, such as Mothers' Pensions, Old Age Pensions, etc, mutt be maintained. Abases of administration should not be allowed, and Injustice through mere technicalities should not be permitted. It The Peace River must be given access to the Coast. 14. In order that the utmost Freedom of Action by Members of the Legislature may be assured In respect of questions before the House, It is Liberal policy that a government shall be considered to be defeated only upon a straight wanUof -confidence motion. 15. The Dominion Government will be asked to plaee the Province of British Columbia upon a basis of equality with the other provinces, and to this end request will be made for a Royal Commission to ascertain the extent to which the Provlnee of British Columbia has not been given Eouality of Treatment with Hie Other Provinces of the Dominion. 18,-There shall be a permanent Voters' Lht to ensure that all eligible voters are enrolled. 17 -The Leader of the Liberal Party la given a free mandate to choose for Mi associates in government, men ol character, ability and standing hivli.tr reKi.rd y.Uh-t0 the public lntere;L The Letter Box SCHOOL FINANCE Editor, Dally News: The Interesting analysis of school costs prepared by a prominent local business man and property owner is interesting in more ways than one. In the first place It does not .correspond with the figures in your paper on June 30. Salaries for each year from 1925 to 1950 as given by your business man are approximately $6000 per year higher than the figures quoted by Mr. Alder. In 1931 there k the greatest dlscre-pency. For this year your business man gives $77 204.98 as the cost of claries as against $48,607.70 given by the commissioner Perhaps this lffrrence of $8,500 is due to a difference in accountancy method but. to the ordinary nian. 11 arems a nighty big difference. Again our prominent local business man knows the psychological point at which to leave off his analysis. Mr. Alder gave the figures for 1932 also. These figures, if they had been placed below those of 1M1. would certainly have spoiled the Interest Ing analysts for they would have shown a reduction in salaries from 177.2045 to $54.61123 a decrease of over $17,000. The same year would also show a decrease In the net cost of education to the city ol over $1260. The estimated figures for 1933 might also have been ad ded to the analysts. These figures. as your report of June 30 stated, will be the lowest In over ten years by a considerable margin. Whatever be the purpose of publishing sch an analysts, it Is only fair that it should be a complete one and not carry with it any false implication The schools have been, and are. carrying an honorable part in connection with the city's policy of retrenchment. To make the analysis still more rah" our business man should have added an additional column. This column woold show the steady Increase in sehool enrolment. In 10X2 the total number of pupils attending our schools was 80S. In 19K it was 1172. This Is an Increase of 370 puptta, niir Is equivalent to a school of rdele divisions requiring nine additional pupils Yet so wonderful is the wajr one can quote statistic! fc4e t this large in crease off Mails &J t&chers. the cost of tatyles ialdVer In ltt man n was in im, and the net f 3 ' TU etlhx.is by MViimm '!& critics afljr Bwrease tneehoor expeodltarea. To draw up a fair and scientific analysis of school finances we must take many and varied points Into consideration As we have seen. It is not enough merely to show a gradual Increase of money spdit from year to year and leave the implication that there has been an orgy, of spending. We must ask ourselves what services we are paying for from year to year. Our school fanny Is certainly increasing la both the higher and lower grades. A much larger percentage of the total enrolment of ponQs are going on to high school. This is true all over the provlnee. In 10M about 8.44 of the total enrolment of our schools went to high sehool In 1932 the percentage had increased to 16 In Prince Rupert during the ten years 1922 to 1932 the percentage of the total enrolment attending IT PAYS TO PLAY Sec Us For Badminton Supplies RACKETS From 3.2S Drop in Sometime Kaien Hardware As Close to You as Y'our Telephone PHONE: 3 YOU NEED THIS 'Blood-Tested' PREPARATION IX you are urd. run-down, sad teeMnf la mmt7 and strength, jnul) be teHanaUd ra tills report bjr a rt-puftabto phralcian.

During these years the schools have been rendering wider tad better services. Higher qualifications and more advanced pro-fsssiinial training have been demanded of tsMhera. The curriculum has been enriched. The high school coarse has been extended to four years. Coounercial training, home economics, manual training. and wider options have been added in order to make our high schools serve the bag majority of students who are looking forward to commercial and industrial life, instead of. as formerly, serving the few favored- pupils who desired a narrower academic training for entrance to university. If these rectors are taken Into eonstdentton. one la JoetUtsd In feeling that at least there has been no orgy of spending in eosMeetlon with our schools. CALCULUS. Hotel Arrivals Savoy James Dunbar.
