DO WE WANT “A FRIEND AT COURT” || Platform of the Liberals of British Columbia

—=—Adopted at the Vancouver Convention, March ist, 1912——=

The Trombone tries repeatedly to make out that William
Manson has proved himself “a friend at court” for the Skeena
riding, in the effort to counteract the Liberal candidate’s direct
declaration that the “friend at court” claim is a fallacy and
a fraud without one fraction of advantage in it for Skeena.
The Trombone quotes the figures given below in support of
its absurd claim. Study them, just study them!

1U Bre OBLAINE D OF ALL DRUGLIDbIS THKOUGHUU I LAN AWA,

1. 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 cwvnditions as will ensure
its continuous use and occupa-
| tion,

Free homesteads to actual set-
ltlers. Holders of pre-emptions
|to be given benefit of this pro-
| Visign.
| Advances to settlers on easy
Liew 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 all
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

jand greatly increase the cost of
roads, schools and other neces-
| sary facilities.

No public land for the specu-
lator.
| 2. Transportation.

The immediate construction of
a railway to Peace River.

We will co-operate with the
{Dominion government in secur-
}ing ail-rail connection between}
the railway systems of Vancouver!
Isiand and the railway systems
of the mainiand.

The construction of a line

owned by the government to give t

direct communication, by the best
route as to grades and distances,
between the Similkameen and
;other interior points and_ the}
coast.

We favor the husbanding of
}the Provincial credit to’ assist
| lines that vile n up new terri-
| tory.
| Provincial cei and resources
not to be wasted in paralleling
|existing lines. r
| No Jand subvention to railways
| beyond what is necessary for
| railway purposes.

Abolition of the system of giv-
ing away Crown lands for town-
| sites free of taxation and under
railway control,

Aid to railways not to exceed
what is reasonably necessary to
secure construction.

The prevention of over capi-
talization of railways.

The Province to co-operate
with the Dominion in aiding rail-
way and highway construction.

All franchises for the con-
; struction, operation and owner-

ship or leasing of government-
| aided roads to be open for public
| competition.

Freight, passenger and express
rates and telegraph tolls of all|
| government-aided roads to be
}under the jurisdiction of the Do-
{minion Railway Commission.
With a view to meeting the de-
jmand for the transportation of
grain from Saskatchewan and Al-
| berta, the immediate construction
}of government-owned elevators.
| The people to control the rail-
| ways, and not the railways the
| people.
|3. Timber.
| We condemn without reserve
|the wholesale disposal of timber
}lands to speeglators, which has
| been the timber policy of |
}the present ernment,

We advocat® the survey, cruis-
ing and valuation of timber lands}
| by the government before aliena-
| lion, and the disposal of all such
| lands by public competition to
; actual users,
| Improved methods of prevent-
ling timber waste and system-
| atized reatfforestation.
| Hand loggers licenses to be
granted where conditions demand.
4. Public Protection in Respect

to Coal.

Coal lands not to be alienated,
but leased under conditions to be
| fixed periodically by the legisla-
| Lure,

Wherever practicable and nec-
ecrary government operation of
coal mines te be at once under-
taken with a view to reduction of
existing prices,

We insist upon the appoint-
ment of a royal commission to
investigate the present exorbitant
coal prices,

5. Practical Education.

We condemn the present edu-
cational autocracy of the govern-
ment,

We recommend the appoint-
ment of a representative advis-
ory board in educational matters,
such as exists in all other proy-
inces.

The present school curriculum
js £0 overioaded with subjects as
to render thorough education in
any branch impossible.

 

 

 

We advocate an increase of

manual and agricultural train-

}ing and domestic science teach-

ing, and the establishment, of an
ellicient system of technical
schools.

The present school system
fears unjustly on settlers in un-

|} organized districts ,and should

be immediately remedied

| 6. Representation.

The government's policy as to
revision of the voters’ lists and
precipitating the present eleo-
tion without a proper redistribu-
tion of constituencies is a com-
plete subversion of all the privi-
leges of representative govern-
ment.

We favor personal registration
and insist on immediate redis-
tribution.

We favor woman suffrage.

7. Taxation.

Abolition of the poll tax and
personal property tax and the
raising of the exemption of in-
come limit to $2,000.

Exemption of improvements on
all lands paying taxes to the
Provincial government,

A readjustment of the system
of taxation whereby the Province
may receive a fairer proportion
of the unearned increient.

Immediate reform of the pres-
ent costly, cumbersome and in-
equitable system of collecting
school taxes in unorganized dis-
tricts.

8. Labor—Workmen’s Compensa-

Without Litigation.

A Provincial department of

labor to be created, and a free
government labor bureau estab-
lished.
# Thorough and frequent inspec-
ion of all industrial premises to
ensure health, sanitation and
safety.

The complete prohibition of
child labor in factories and shops.

The present system of em-
ployers’ liability insurance bears
heavily upon employers, and is
a frequent source of injustice to
workmen and their families. We
advocate the establishment by
the government of a permanent
industrial insurance commission,
independent of politics. This
commission to have full charge
if a system providing positiva
compensation to employees for
injury received during employ-
ment, without recourse to litiga-
tion, and giving employers the
benefit of accident insurance at
minimum cost,

The extension of the scope of
the Workmen's Compensation
Aci, so as to cover all hazardous
employments.

The payment of wages should
be made at least fortnightly.

9. Oriental Immigration.

We unhesitating condemn the
hypocrisy of the Provincial goy-
ernment as evidenced by its re-
fusal to re-enact its own remedy

the Natal Act—on the ground

|that it would embarrass the Con-

servative Dominion government.

We stand for a ‘‘White British
Columbia,” and advocate con-
tinuously increasing stringency
in immigration laws until this re-
sult is attained. The Liberals of
British Columbia are in favor of
the total exclusion of Orientals
from the Province.

We insist that the Provincial
authorities shall enforce strict
Sanitary regulations in al! con-
gested districts.

10. Extension of Municipal

Powers.
Increase of local control in
municipal matters.

Election of license and police}
|commissioners by popular vote.}

11, Public Ownership of Utilities.

.We emphatically declare our
adherence to the principle of
public ownership of public util-
ities, and advocate limitation of
terms of franchise to corpora-
tions, renewing the same, if in
the public interest, in equitable
terms,

12. Local Control of Liquor

Traffic.

The liquor traffic of British
Columbia is at present under the
absolute control of the Provin-
cial government, and is used by
it as a political machine,

We insist upon the complete
removal of the liquor question
from party politics.

The control of the trafic 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 salc.

13. Public Accounts.

We denounce the McBride

government for withholding year
after year the public accounts
from examination Dy the Public
Accounts Committee.

We advocate the organization
of an auditor general's depart-
ment; independent of the govern-
ment.
