MM J :.i Br- MEMBER OP CANADIAN PRESS SS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCCLATIOSS CANADIAN DAILT NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Mr. Gordon Forthright . . . THE PEOPLE OF CANADA want decontrol they can have it but they IF will also take with it higher prices af the necessities of life and chaos in the field of shelter, Donald Gordon, chairman of the Prices and Trade jlioard, flatly declares. That is the situation and the people can choose what the uant, Mr. Gordon says in putting it straight before them. One easy way the people can get the decontrol and what goes with it would be to trail to support the policy of control now followed by the government, i The Prices Board chairman expresses confidence that Canada, con-itinuing the' policy of reasonable contial, can hold to an even keel against the tides of inflation . and -deflation which other countries, not so economi cally wise, may have to weather. He suggests that Canadians would be i wise to wait and see how the United States makes out with decontrol. 1 There is an air of take it or leave it as Mr. Gordon offers his advice to Canadians but he makes out a strong case in. favor of continuation of controls and it would probably be wise if Canadians, among whom there j ihas been a good deal of talk lately about the undesirability of controls, paid iheed to it. Possibly, though, there are really not many seriously-thinking ! people who honestly do favor the complete removal of controls, in the immediate future at least. An airport needed j ANYTHING that Prince Rupert 'A can do toward the establishment ioT a public airport here, it should most certainly ;be doing. Possibly, tthe most of us have not become suf-;ficiently air-minded as yet to appreciate the many advantages that would be derived from the establishment of a community airport or airpark and are indifferent about it. If something is -not done, however, one of 'these days we may more fully .realize in experience the disadvantages and the handicap we would :suffer through lack pi such a facility. In these times of modern -and rapidly developing transportation, we can readily imagine how :badly 'off we would be if we had no steamships, no railways, no highway. Soon air transportation will be -as ;integ-jral a factor in connection with 'business, industry, development and Stability -generally as any of these. Through inaction in the matter at Jthis time, we may well suffer ere . Jong. If Prince Pvupert finds itself off Ithe air. map a few years hence and iher progress and prosperity ham-'pered thereby, she will be able to re-call with regret her disinterest to-(day. ; Aviation is rapidly expanding and developing in Canada and Prince jPiUpert, unless it keeps on its toes, is liable to be by-passed. ' if. If, FREIGHT RATES HTHE Canadian railways have ap-' plied for a W, increase ,in freight grates. It is essential that industrialists, merchants and consumers should Ipresent their side of the situation. ;The government of B.C. is preparing a case for this province. ; Perhaps more important than the exact increase of rates that would apply all across Canada is the removal of the special higher rate on Iraffic hauled through British Columbia, known as the "Mountain Differential Rate." This has been imposed allegedly .because of the higher costs of construction and of hauling in B.C. than elsewhere .in Canada. Jt has increased rates approximately 25V over inomal for the freight charges of goods hauled through B.C. It ha3 'operated the same as. an extra tariff ton imports to and exports from U.C., thereby niising the costs of consum-t'L- goods, raw material used in processing and manufacture and in export prices of our products. Every government in B.C. has )nade valiant 'attempts to. secure the removal of this injustice. The late John Oliver, while Premier, succed- WARNING HememlwrBc M THE vtalches of Accuracy TAKE ADVANTAGE CHRISTMAS Perfect Diamonds Mall Orders Receive ed in getting reductions in freight rates, particularly on grain moving to the coast, but never suceeded in having the mountain differential removed. Fortunately, thjs province has been blessed with resources that have been in demand most of the time and has prospered in spite of the freight rate discrimination. But manufacturing and secondary industries now provide much business and employment. Our future lies in their expansion and decentralization. British Columbia must therefore demand in the most vigorous manner the removal of this injustice as a precedent to the question of a general increase in freight rates. It is as important to central and northern B.C. as to other areas in this province. TRANSFERABLE VOTE A SPECIAL COMMITTEE of the Legislature IS Studying the Pro- vmcial 'Elections Act preparatory to making a report for the next session. Compulsory voting has been advocated on the lines of the Australian Act As penalties would have to be imposed for not voting, with exceptions for cause, such as sickness, and as.compulsiori in. any form, generally speaking, is repugnant to most citizens, such .measure would likely be unpopular. We doubt if it would secure major support in the Legislature. On the other hand, something ought to be lone to improve upon the present system of voting whereby many members sit as representatives by a minority vote of their constituents. Where more than two candidates run for single member districts a minority candidate is frequently declared elected, though a majority voted against him. This situation can be corrected bythe institution of the single transferable vote." Under this system, first, second and third choice votes are cast. The voters, instead of marking a cross on their ballots, mark them 1, 2, or 3, representing their first, second or third choice. If a candidate has a majority of first choice ballots he is of course elected without any further counting. Failing a majority of first choice ballots, the lowest candidate is elminated and his second choice ballots counted and added to the first choices of the iremaining candidates. This system elects a member who represents a majority of votes cast. It Js definitely .an improvement of political democracy over the present system whereby a member may represent a minority of his constituents. ! Only Weeks Till Xmas Wise! Shop Early!
