Monpay, Ava. 14 On Saturday, two parcels arrived at the Daily News office. They each contained stereotype cuts for use in the columns of the paper. One parcel came from Toronto, the other from London, England. The parcel from London, was larger and heavier than the pai~el from Toronto, yet the parcel from Toronto had a 30 per cent heavier charge-on it for carriage than the parcel from London. The parcel from London had travelled by train to Liverpool or Southampton, thence by steamer across the Atlantic, and five hundred miles by rail in Canada before it even reached Toronto. Yet it did the entire journey at a very much cheaper rate than the smaller and lighter parcel that came from Toronto. This is bleeding the public with a vengeance. The explanation for the difference in rates is that the parcel from | England travelled by British Parcels Post; that from Toronto by Dominion Express. This goes a long way to explain how it is that the Dominion Express, which is a sideline of the C. P. R., with a total of only $24,500 paid upon its $2,000,000 capital, has paid the C. P. R. in eight years, profits totalling $13,409,240. An institution that makes over thirteen million dollars profit on an outlay of less than $25,000, can very well afford to reduce its rates. The question of excessive express charges should be taken up by the merchants of the city at the meeting of the Railway Com- mission next Saturday. The rate charged by the Dominion Express Company on the parcel referred to, was greater even than the cost of sending the parcel by mail. When the protest is made, it would be a good thing also to draw the attention of the Board of Railway Commissioners to the fact that no effort has been made in Prince Rupert to obey the Board’s ruling that after June Ist, the express companies must call for and deliver parcels within the municipal boundaries of cities and towns. To appeal to the companies direct is only an added vexation of | spirit and a waste of time. The Board of Railway Commissioners | has been appointed by the Federal Government to hear all Saieigdiieel in connection with the railways and their subsidiary companies. The Board is clothed with power to make orders and enforce its rulings. The opportunity to draw the attention of the Board to the way in which Prince Rupert is bled by the express companies must not be lost. NOTES DUE In selecting Alderman Newton for their candidate, the local Conservatives showed that they are anxious for reciprecity to win in Comox-Atlin. The council meeting will be so quiet and orderly tonight that it will seem like old times again, but for the vacant chairs. The Calgary Herals is being poked at by a number of newspapers over a strange piece of inconsistency it has committed. The Herald is espousing the cause of the interests in the reciprocity fight, and has been trying to make out that if the taxes on food are removed that it will*make it hard for us all to live. A few days ago—at the height of the coal scare, when it looked as if Alberta might face a coal famine this winter—the Herald came out with a big black headline addressed to the Federal Government “Remove the Coal Duties.”’. Of course if the Herald’ anii-reciprocity arguments were true, the removal of the coal duty will not make coal more plentiful. Looks as if the truth slipped out by accident. The effect of a duty, whether on coal or food is just the same, namely, to make it more difficult to obtain. The Continental Trust Co., Ltd. AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $500,000 | OFFICERS: WM. T.
