BRITISH COLUMBIA SECURITIES FRAUD ACT ETidence of Prospectors and Promoters to Be Heard. VICTORIA. Feb. 10: The legislature's, mining committee, alter detailed explanation, of the Securities Frauds' Prevention Act by E. K. deBeck, commissioner of the act, will hear evidence from prospectors and promoters who consider the act detrimental to the mining industry in B.C. W. J. Asselstine, former minister of mines, said that in the opinion of the public there was conflict between the mining department and the administration of the act, and this should be cleared up. Mr. deBeck said the act was beneficial to the public, but that it was not understood. Members of the committee were of the opinion the act should be sold to the public. Prospectors Object Several letters were read from prospectors objecting to the act. "I've come across several cases where I thought the prospectors got a pretty raw deal," said Attorney-General R. L, Maitland Mr. deBeck said he deplored the fact that $1 out of every $5 went to the raising of money for Investment. He said he would like to see sufficient confidence in B.C projects so that the bulk of thet money would go into the ground. . Objection to the act, Mr de-Beck said, came from promoters largely. ' He said his department was continually faced with the prob lem of "the directors who do not direct they leave it to one man." It is with great reluctance we Mr. deBeck said. -We sometimes ask 'are you attending to business?' a n d sometimes threaten to advertise the facts in the papers, if they don't attend to "A vindictive, disgruntled share- , holder can create a great deal of trouble." Mr. deBeck said. 'To (have an honest promoter accused of criminal acts and all sorts ot skullduggery, and held up as a crook, liar and thief, discourages others, equally honest." Freebooting Days Regarding dissatisfaction of prospectors, Mr. deBeck said "some people, including many bona fide prospectors, believe the Securities Act Is responsible to a whole or large extent. This sit uation, however, has been exploited by those who would like to see the act abolished, with a return to the f reebootlng days, using sympathy for the poor prospectors." He said he was of the opinion the act was in no way responsible lor the condition. "On the contrary I am of the opinion the act, under a sound administration. Is beneficial to prospectors," he said.

It was collected in an unique way. The order gave , a whist drive and dance and chargd as admission price, canned products to the value of 25 cents. I A few were more generous and ' those who did not bring canned products paid cash, which was later invested in every kind of canned food from milk, ovaltlne. coffee and cocoa to frlcaseed chicken, veal stew, fruit and vegetables. There was some doubt at first as to how the idea "would take" but the Eagles report the affair "a grand success" and pass along the idea as "an excellent way of doing a little bit of war service."
