Premier John Hart has chosen wisely in selecting E. T. Kenney of Terrace, Member of the Legislative Assembly for Skeena, as the new minister of lands in his coalition government. It is a tribute to the recognized qualities of Mr. Kenney that he should have been chosen for there were others who, undoubtedly, might have felt they had claims to the position and who had on their side the advantage of geographical position of their ridings in the more populated section of the province. But we are confident in saying here that Mr. Hart-has made a choice that time will justify. Mr. Kerniey will be a sound and a capable hard-working and conscientious administrator of the important department of lands one which is of particular im- portance to central and northern British Columbia. As a member of the lesislature for eleven years he j has amply proved and qualified himself. Knowing Mr. Kenney as we do, we will predict that in his new and broader sphere he will admin ister fairly to all the province and that his own riding and this part of the country will not suffer in that administration. We join with the general expression of gratification in Prince Rupert ovr the elevation of Mr. Ken-j i icy and extend congratulations not only to him on having received a much deserved recognition but to Premier Hart and his colleagues in having secured him to join in the governmental administration of! the province. New Library Needed . . . The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce is to be commended on accepting the suggestion of one of its members that the possibility of establishing a Carnegie Library in Prince Rupert be looked into. I lie present library has served us long and well ; and has filled a valuable function for Prince Rupert during a period of years but it has seen better days and something will have to be done soon about improving it.- service which is overtaxed as it is. It is quite fitting that the Carnegie Library idea should again be explored. HX Avlrtu?

HOTEL IS ADVOCATED Then Collart offered the suggestion at Monday night's meeting of the Prince Rupert i Chamber of Commerce that it was time now that the Canadian National Railways should be approached with a view to fulfilling the lon mooted plan of establishing an hotel here.

Sulphuric Acid is extensively used in steel mills, foundries and similar plants whose volume of production is governed by the demands of construction, ship building, transportation and the engineering trades. These are the basic industries and their progress parallels the general trade statistics of the Horn inion. Another important use of Sulphuric Acid is in the manufacture and maintenance of storage batteries for car:;, tanks, radio equipment and certain marine engines. While Sulphuric Acid is only one of the many products of Canadian Industries Limited, it is an outstanding example of the way in which commercial chemistry is contributing to the life and progress of the Dominion. CANADIAN INDUSTRIES LIMITED LETTERBOX r .VXING ( o OPKRTI I S Editor, Daily News: r note with much interest an item in your issue of NoVMMber 7 where the Prim e Ruoei : Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as favoring the taxa i tlon of co-operatives. It appears that the wave of ! misleading propaganda against the Co-operative Movement hat i at last reached Prince Rupert and we can expect to see mis-leadhv statements & appeared linyour Uue of November 4. In the east the criticism of the co-operative movement has degenerated Q low as to dub the co-operatives as unpatiiotice of ganirations. The facts show tl. it the Canadian cooperative movement has been the main factor in producing tremendous quantities of food and othei materials to feed and equip our troops and the United Nations. May I add that the Brit 1-h Ministry of Food has used since the .beginning of the war the Scot tih and English Co operative Wholesales' purchasing organ! at ion in Canada to do their purchasing and shipping. The co-operatives of CanadH ! are not on the spot. It ls the government that enjovs this unsavory position. D.jlegat ions compared of represents tlvai of the co-operative movement from the Atlantic to the Pacific have twice been in Ottawa to meet Mr Ilsley with a view to reach in." a conclusion in aMUflng tht government's policy on the taxation of co-operatives. What is the result? Mr Flsley it ! the issue and will not declare the government's policy He aiioint . a R ival OdWDOUUMI to slide the matter along until after the election. There are over a million co-operative vot ers in Canada who vote for the party that declares Its policy In the Interests of the ftffnw.tr and produc iif public The o-operative movement, on the other hand, wants the la ue forced into the open All thev ask is fairness.
