Free Lands for Settiers—None for Speculators. We emphatically condemn the McBride government for its con- nivance at the evasion of the land laws by persons, syndicates and corporations, who have been al- lowed to obtain millions of acres of the choicest accessible public lands, which are held without use and to the detriment of the prov- ince as a whole. | We hold that agricultural land| should be disposed of only on, such conditions as will ensure | its continuous use and occupa-| tion. Free homesteads to actual set- tlers. Holders of piéctiagtions| to be given benefit of this pro-| vision. Advances to settlers on easy terms to assist in land clearing, | dyking, irrigation and other per-| manent improvements. Surveys of all accessible agri-| cultural lands to be rapidly com- pleted, and survey sheets and al! necessary information to be made easily available io the public. Settlement in block to be en-! couraged by the removal of re-| serves, which scatter population and greatly increase the cost of roads, schools and other neces- sary facilities. No public land for the specu- jator. 2. Transportation. The immediate construction of a railway to Peace River.

We insist upon the removal of the liquor from party politics. The contro! of the traffic should be vested in municipalities, or, in unorganized territory, in locally elected authorities. We favor a local option law. in the protection of the public we insist on frequent inspection of liquor offered for sale. 13. Public Accounts.
