The
Highway
Impasse
The
statement
of
Minister
of
Public
Works
Anscomb
in
the
Legislature
at
the
end
of
the
week
detailing
to
?ome
extent
the
provincial
government's
huge
road
building
program
carried
little
cheer
for
this
part
of
the
province.
We
had
been
hoping
that,
under
the
general
heading
of
maintenance,
the
figure
for
which
is
placed
at
$5,000,000,
there
might
have
been
generous
provision
for
the
Prince
Rupert
-
Hazelton
Highway.
Possibly,
when
the
apportionments
become
more
clarified,
there
may
be
something
for
us
but
the
minister's
contention
that
the
federal
government
should
be
responsible
for
this
road
as
a
military,
highway
like
the
Alaska
Highway
offers
little,
if
any,
assurance.
In
fact,
it
would,
to
the
contrary,
look
likft
denial
of
any
responsibility,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
the
pro-
vincial
department
may
have
in
recent
months
been
doing
a
certain
amount
of
maintenance,
inadequate
as
it
may
have
been.
As
against
Mr.
Anscomb's
contention
that
he
regards
the
road
as
a
federal
responsibility,
we
have
the
direct
statement
from
Ottawa
that
the
need
for
the
highway
for
military
purposes
has
passed
and
that
it
is
being
offered
to
the
provincial
government.
So
we
now
have
the
spectacle
of
neither
Ottawa
or
Victoria
wanting
to
assume
responsibility
for
the
road.
Meantime,
due
to
fall
floods
and
winter
snows,
it
hb3
fallen
into
a
state
of
impassibility.
If
it
is
to
continue
to
be
kicked
back
and
forth
between
the
two
governments,
to
say
nothing
of
the
complications
due
to
the
Canadian
National
right-of-way
jurisdiction,
it
will
soon
become
permantly
unuseable
and
we
will
not
be
much
better
off
than
before
it
was
built.
Mr.
Anscomb
likened
the
Prince
Rupert-Hazelton
Highway
to
the
Alaska
Highway
since
it
was
built
for
military
purposes
as
was
the
Alaska
Highway.
However,
the
Prince
Rupert
Hazelton
Highway
lies
entirely
within
the
province
of
British
Columbia
and
is,
indeed,
a
natural
extension
of
a
transprovincial
highr
way,
even
if
it
does
have
the
misfortune
of
lying
in
the
west
central
part
of
the
province
instead
of
the
favored
south.
We
have
been
having
our
battles
over
the
railway
service,
over
the
matter
of
federal
aid
for
war
damage
to
the
city,
over
the
civic
centre.
We
are
indeed
getting
inured
to
the
fact
that
we
must
battle
for
everything
we
get.
Now
the
road
must
be
added
in
real
earnest
to
the
list.
Orie
Problem
Remaining
The
Socialist
Party,
under
Mr.
Coldwell,
said
a
man
in
the
smoker,
is
reactionary,
the"
Liberals
under
Mr.
King
are
opportunists,
the
Prog-Cons
under
Mr.
Bracken
are
indecisive,
and
Social-Crediters
under
Mr.
Low
are
too
theoretical.
There
should
be
'a
fifth
party
to
sweep
the
country.
He'll
call
it
the
Common-sense
Party,
or
maybe
the
antUommyrot
party
after
something
he'd
read
in
Plumbing
and
Heating
Engineers
OIL
AND
COAL
STOKERS
Barr4nderson
LIMITED
Wellington
Jeffers'
column
in
the
Toronto
Globe
and
Mail.
As
for
platform,
he
had
a
few
planks:
1.
He'd
reverse
Ottawa
thinking
by
passing
a
law
declaring
that
a
man's
income
is
his
own,
subject
to
taxation,
instead
of
a
man's
income
belonging
to
the
Government,
subject
to
discount
for
living
expenses,
as
at
present.
2.
He'd
forthwith
reduce
income
taxation
by
30
percent
so
that
citizens
could"
provide
their
own
baby
bonuses.
3.
He'd
abolish
the
baby
bonus
and
substitute
therefor
(at
less
expense)
equality
of
educational
opportunity
for
children
living
in
rural
areas.
These
three
planks,
said
the
man
in
the
smoker,
would
appeal
strongly
to
80
percent
of
the
voters;
no
party
so
far
ever
had
received
that
many
votes
though
they
all,
in
these
days
of
decadent
political
thinking,
sought
100
percent
support.
Leadership?
Well,
he
hadn't
got
around
to
that
problem.
3f
y
The
Patronage
Divided
In
their
struggle
to
retain
their
exemption
from
taxes,
which
gives
them
an
advantage
over
competing
business,
the
co-operatives
argue
that
the
patronage
dividend,
through
which
they
distribute
their
untaxed
profits
to
members,
is
in
reality
the
same
as
a
discount
on
purchases,
and
should
still
be
free
from
tax,
even
if
taxes
should
be
imposed
on
thejr
undistributed
profits.
If
this
argument
were
accepted,
it
would
be
a
simple
matter
for
the
co-operatives
to
continue
enjoyment
of
their
special
privilege.
They
could
distribute
all
their
profits
as
patronage
dividends
and
then
get
their
members,
to
re
subscribe
such
amounts
as
were
needed
for
expansion
and
improvement.
Nothing
Would
remain
for
the
tax
collector.
If
the
patronage
dividend
were
the
same
as
a
trade
discount,
it
would
be
a
clumsy
device.
The
cooperatives
could
save
a
lot
of
book-keeping
?by
merely
reducing
their
prices
to
the
point
where
there
would
be
sufficient
only
to
cover
the
cost
of
goods,
selling
expense
and
overhead.
Or
they
could
give
discount
to
their
members
at'
the
time
they
made
their
purchases
and
sell
goods
to,
others
at
the
full
price.
The
difference
lies
in
the
fact
that
the
trade
discount
allowed
to
a
customer
by
an
ordinary,
taxpaying
company,
is
a
fixed
percentage
usually
available
to
all
purchasers
of
the
same
goods
under
the
same
conditions.
There
can
be
a
discount
without
profit,
but
not
a
patronage
dividend
without
profit.-
The
net
price
after
discount
is
what
goes
through
the
company's
books,
The
patronage
dividend
is
a
share
of
the
co-operative's
profits,
calculated
after
the
earnings
for
the
year
are
!
known,
and
distributed
according
to
McBride
Street
me
decision
oi
tne
co-operative
s
board
of
directors.
The
only
difference
between
the
patronage
dividend
and
the
dividend
paid
by
a
limited
company,
is
that
one
is
paid
to
customers,
in
proportion
to
the
business
they
have
done
with
the
cooperative,
while
the
other
is
paid
to
shareholders
in
proportion
to
their
share
in
the
ownership
of
the
company.
Each
represents
a
division
of
profits.
There
is
much
to
be
said
for
exempting
all
dividends
from
taxation
until
they
are
in
the
hands
of
tho
ultimate
receiver;
but
until
that
reform
of
our
taxing
system
is
made,
it
should
be
recognized
that
all
profits
are
taxable
on
the
same
basis.
