(Authorized as Second Class Mali, Post Office Department, Ottawa), The Ottawa Conference With his promise that the perr sonal' income tax Will be lowered and the corporate double income tax will be ameliorated so as to make it worthwhile for the ordinary small businesy.s to carry on expanding, improving and providing employment which they have been limited in doing during recent years, Prime Minister Mackenzie King makes it hard; for the provinces not to at least" sympathetically consider adopting, if not accepting, the federal proposals. Some sound effective way must eventually be devised by Ottawa to meet its huge financial obligations which are not ended just because the war 'is over. At the same time, the provinces have work to do and functions to carry out and they must have! adequate means of financing them. The problem which faces the conference is reaching some sort of a division of the fields of public revenue-raising, that will provide the revenue needed by the Dominion and the provinces. At the same time, the system of taxation cannot be permitted to reach a point either on personal or business incomes where initiative and incentive is squelched such as is very nearly the case these days :as a result of the double corporate 'income and excess profits tax. It is not an easy task to reconcile the needs of the Dominion on the one hand and those of the provinces on the other. While the governments try to make both ends meet, the public clamors for more servic- , ing and mptfe 'expenditure., and at the same time demands amelioration" of taxation which is the only way the 'governments have of raising the money to pay the costs. It is the same old story. We do not think for a moment that, in order to meet the trying problems with which they are faced, the representatives of both the. Dominion and the provinces will hot go the limit in compromising and devising ways and means. There are none of them who want to possess themselves of the means of imposing taxation just for the sake of taxation. All they want is the possession of ability to raise the finances for their respective needs. If there is a possible way of reaching a common basis of satisfying the various needs, the Ottawa conference should be competent of reaching and embracing it. We tlo not need to be too discouraged that some satisfactory settlement shall not be reached between the Dominion and the provinces. Indeed, sooner or later one will have to be reached. These are matters that cannot go indefinitely unsettled. Why Beautification Campaign The Junior Chamber of Commerce, this year with the co-operation of the Prince Rupert Public Relations Council, is to be congratulated on its perennial enterprise in conducting a campaign to remind citizens that homes need sprucing up, streets and lanes should be cleaned and well-kept, lawns and vacant lots cleared of litter, fences painted, etc. Particularly does this hold true in the spring of the year, when nature is bursting with new life and color. Civic pride is a feeling that should be fostered by all organizations, and an appeal to civic consciousness by way of a Beautification Campaign is most effective. The outward appearance of a community reflects the spirit of its citizens. How much more attractive for visitors and tourists to see clean, fresh-looking homes, stores and public buildings, with flowers, grass and trees in profusion! How. much finer for the morale of us all to have a city that sparkles, rather than one with 'dirty streets, ill-kept houses, drab-looking shops ! A Beautification" Campaign is a worthwhile effort and might well be a highlight of the year's activity. In Prince Rupert the drive starts tomorrow and continues for ten davs. WET WEEK-END CULMINATES IN LIGHT SNOWFALL Obviously as a reminder that Prince Rupert people should not feel too superior to their unfortunate brethern In the south, the Weatherman sneaked 'up from the environs of Vancouver and dropped a hatful of snow on the local scene Sunday night. Local amateur weather experts didn't take the thing too serlus-ly and one of them pointed out that it was probably a "spite raid." "While I was In Vancouver last week I was boasting about how 'much better the weather in Prince Rupert is," he 'explained. "No doubt the weatherman down; there heard about it and tossecj this snow at us out of spite.;it looks suspicious." Satisfied with his explanation, the unofficial oracle did hot care to discuss the fact that Prince Rupert's precipitation for the 24 hour ;perlod ending at 4 o'clock yesterday morning was 1.14 Inches. "I am not Interested," he said, "in how much rain was diverted to pHnce Rupert from other parts jof the province. The point Js," he added, "that it stopped." (j.'S.) He marched off up the street his eyes fixed hopefully on a small patch of blue sky. Officially to blame for the wet week-end which culminated on Sunday night in temperatures low enough to bring a small amount of snow was what meteorologists term a "weather system," which nok, thank heaven, has moved eastward across the Interior of the province.

PLANS FOR NEW HOME Preliminaries to Construction of Aged People's Residence Already Under Way Blueprints for Prince Rupert", new Pioneer's Home have been completed by designer James Hutchison and are now al the City Hall awaiting approval of City Council. Mayor Dag:?ett said few minor changesTire n?e.fc3rv to make the design for lire West-view building satisfactory. Indicative of the city's desire to get the new home completed as soon as possible is the fact that already a toreman has been hired and a crew of men Is busy demolishing the interior of the city's ancient Exhibition building to salvase materials for use. in the new home. Mayor Da ggett.says. there will be no difficulty ohtalhlajr'byjW-int material. Foreman hired bv the city Is George Scott who will direct construction under Citv Engineer Phillips.
