HART'S BRIGHT PICTURE Here is what the Victoria Times thinks of British Co lumbia's finances: "The financial picture presented by Mr. Hart in his statement last Saturday is the most satisfactory which British Columbia has seen for a long time certainly since the beginning of the depression in 1929. "It reflects two things Mr. Hart's ability to seal up leaks in his treasury, to get his revenues in ; and a growing income generally. A few years ago the government "The purejl form m whicfi tobacco can be moled."(dif The Letter Box THE OLD CVS 1 Editor. Dally News: As the old dlrelict Is lying on Government Ground why not Mr Watt do something about It? It needs a painting and a new platform. Doubtless a public spirited man like Major Charlie Evltt would donate some lumber for the pur pose and another public spiriteo service man, Mr. Silversldes, might donate some paint. Then that en erRetlc crowd, the Junior Chambc-of Commerce, might step In and help. They are hollering a lot Just, now about "clean up and pain ud". well, here's that chance to da something practical. The B.E.S.I. do a lot for the human ex-mllltary dlrelict, could they be persuaded to help? You yourself, Mr. Editor, might write a nice persuasive cdl torlal on the matter. Stir up public feeling so to speak. Have a neat railing put around it and a few flowers. I observed two very pretty girl'' looking at it a day or so ago "What is it?" said one of them.

Mr. Hart found a1 very sick patient when he took over the treasury. The patient is responding splendidly to his treatment. "As the minister is careful to point out, however, we are by no means out of the woods vet. We are pavintr all our ordinary current expenditures out of revenue, even paying off some debt; but we are still borrowing for unemployment relief, like all the other provinces. We are not setting up all our sinking funds, and we have yet to replace large amounts borrowed from trust funds. "Until we can cover all these charges out of income, says Mr. Hart, we should pursue a policy of strict economy. The government, in .addition, must provide assistance for the municipalities at the autumn session of the Legislature, and this will involve a new drain on the treasury, perhaps more taxation.

Who would have thought the old gun at the ex-armorles would have become the subject of controversy. That only goes to show how hard up the people of Prince Rupert are for something to talk about since i Mussolini won the war. The editor says a Jot of people have been writing him letters ex. pecting them to be published but, forgetting, to sign their names. The result Is that his waste paper bas-i ket has been over crowded anrt th ' janitor, has had to work overtime.
