The
Election
is
Over
ANOTHER
CIVIC
ELECTION
is
over
and
the
new
municipal
legislators
they
are
not
really
administrators
will
soon
be
in
office.
They
will
have
important
work
to
do
in
1947
which
may
well
prove
to
be
a
crucial
year
in
the
history
of
Prince
Rupert.
There
may
be
decisions
to
make
that
will
affect
the
future
of
the
city
for
many
years.
Those
who
were
elected
yesterday
should
be
capable
of
doing
the
work
and
making
the
decisions.
They
should
seriously
realize
that
the
trust
to
do
so
has
been
imposed
in
them
by
the
majority
of
the
public.
In!
t
heir
tasks,
they
are
entitled
to
expect
the
support
and
constructive
suggestions
of
all
citizens
,
since
what
they
do
or
do
not
do,
their
accomplishments
or
mistakes,
will
affect
us
all.
The
1947
city
council
is
fairly
representative
of
various
interests
in
the
city.
Now
it
is
for
them
to
work
toaf
.'her
in
meeting
the
tasks
and
problems
that
c&Afront
them.
If
that
is
their
earnest,
they
should
be
able
to
achieve
some
measure
of
accomplishment
in
the
civic
good.
-We
congratulate
all
the
winners
and
also
the"
losers
who
can
console
themselves
with
the'
satisfaction
that
they
offered
themselves
and,
by
the
process
of
being
defeated,
were
saved
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
which
might
have
gone
unappreciated.

is
to
be
T"
congratulated
upon
having
seized
upon
a
means
of
critfnuing
its
regular
support
to
the
maintenance
of
the
local
"civic
Centre
in
the
face
of
the
Incapacity
of
its
current
treasury
to
meet
the
monthly
commitments
thereto.
-Recently
the
Junior
Chamber
of
Commerce
was
posed
with:
the
problem
of
meeting
its
,
underwriting
and
almost
"cjecided
to
allow
it
to
lapse
but
the;
majority
of
the
members
were
not
for
repudiating
their
moral
obligation
and
decided
to
see
it
through.
The
Senior
service
club
of
the
city,
of
course,
would
never
haye
let
the
Civic
Centre
down,
particularly
since
it
was
one
of
the
organizations
which
It
had
sponsored
it
all
these
years.
We
have
no
hesitation
in
re-Iterating
what
we
have
previously
said
that
our
civic
mtre
is
one
of
the
things
of
which
we
can
be
really
proud
and
it
is
worthy
of
the
support
of
every
organization,
even
if
extra
effort
and
sacrifice
might
be
entailed
in
maintaining
that
support.
Crushing
Middle
Class
of

LIQUIDATION
class
is,
according
to
the
Commusists,
one
of
the
very
first
steps
necessary
to
the
achievement
of
their
revolution,
says
Financial
Post.
In
Canada
this
is
being
achieved
right
now
by
taxation.
The
full
effects
on
our
nation
of
continued
high
taxation
on
the
middle
class
have
been
so
far
very
largely
obscured.
Stratospheric
tax
rates
have
been
with
us
for
only
four
or
five
years
and
those
have
been
most
absormal
years.
Many
people
have
had
some
clothes
they
could
go
on
wearing
for
a
time,
some
savings
they
could
spend.
Buying
a
car,
pr
furniture,
or
fixing
the
roof
'or
the
bad
teeth
could
be
or
had
to
be
postponed.
In
tens
of
thousands
of
homes
children
in
the
expensive
late-colleglate
and
university
years
were
in
the
armeB
services.
But
middle
class
"fat"
has
been
disappearing
rapidly
and
in
many
cases
is
now
completely
gone.
The
stores
are
filled
with
people,
but
among
the
buyers
you
won't
find
many
from
the
middle
Income
salaried
group.
Merchants,
car
dealers,
furniture
men,
doctors,
dentists
and
so
on
will
soon
be
wondering
about
the
whereabouts
of
their
"good
old,
regular"
customers
when
shortages
are
past
and
war-created
bundles
of
cash
In
novel
places
have
evaporated.
For
the
energetic
young
middle-class
Canadian
who
has
neither
inherited
money
nor
married
a
rich
wife,
the
tax
climate
in
which
he
finds
himself
today
Is
stifling.
From
his
present
efforts,
government
takes
the
cream.
If
he
doubles,
triples
or
quadruples
his
usefulness
and
value,
taxation
cuts
him
down,
and
because
of
the
Increased
cost
of
maintaining
his
extra
value
of
holding
his
new
job
he
Is
no
better
off,
probably
worse.
Today's
taxation
is
ingeniously
contrived
to
penalize
ambition
and
energy,
ability
and
iniative.
