an
.application
before
the
Transport
Commis--
sion
asking
approval
for
a
freight
tariff
30
per
cejnt
higher
than
the
tariff
now
in
force.
Seven
provinces
are
opposing
the
application,
says
the
V
mcouver
Province
editorially.
Ontario
and
Que-
-
are.'aking
no
part
in
the
controversy.
British
Columbia
is
in
a
particularly
difficult
fcausa
in
the
mountain
differential
it
has
to
en-'
e
a',
freight
rate
25
per
cent
higher
than
the
average.
There
is
discrimination
now
and
any
percentage
increase
would
accentuate
the
discrimination.
Counsel
for
the
seven
provinces,
working
together,
are
opposing
the
increase,
in
the
first
place,
on
the:
ground
that
the
railways
have
not
shown
that
thev
need
higher
rates.
If
this
argument
fails,
they
will
try
to
show
that
any
flat
percentage
increase
is
sure
to
produce
inequalities
unjust
to
certain
areas
and
certain
commodities.
There-is
a
slogan
that
has
been
current
in
British
Columbia
for
some
months:
"Business
is
coming
to'-Britfsh
Columbia."
Business
is
coming
and
we
must
keep
it
coming
if
we
are
to
provide
employment
for
our
increasing
population.
But
business
means
production
dnd
production
means
markets.
i
We
cannot
prosper
by
taking
in
our
own
washing.
We
must
export
both
overseas
and
to
our
(natural
domestic
market,
the
prairies.
Under
the
rpresent
freight
rate,
unfair
though
it
is,
we
have
ja
market
for
various
commodities
as
far
east
as
Winnipeg.
That
is
our
traffic
slope.
Thirty
per
cent
jadded
to
the
present
rate,
pyramiding
the
discrimination,
will
shut
us
out
of
a
large
part
of
that
market
possibly
out
of
all
Manitoba
and
Sask-fatchewan
and
reduce

range

in

comprised

Banded

did
much
to

of

through
developing
their
jown

and
encouraging
others
to
do

But,
unfQrtunately,
the

due
to
the
death

FISHERIES
"
THERE
may
be
point
to
some
of
tlje
members
of
3;
the.
Legislature
wondering
what
the
provincial
government
plans
to
do
to
aid
fisheries
under
CEe
act
which
would
set
up
a
separate
Department

As
one
of
the
members
has
sug-sted,
there:
may
have
to
be
greater
authority
transferred
from
Ottawa
to
Victoria
over
the
in-
'djjstry
if
there
is
to
be
any
justification
for
the
apartment.
Under
existing
set-up
in
the
admims-ation
of
the
fisheries,
there
would
appear
to
be
rttle
enough
justification.
However,
the
govern
ment
might
have
some
plans
in
the
matter
which
at
the
moment
might
seem
to
be
a
little
obscure,
llany
feel
that
the
'fisheries
are
pretty
well
regulated

way

are
now.

TAXES
THREATEN
CO-OP
GROWTH
Present
government
legislation
to
tax
co-operatives,
which
was
drawn
up
under
pressure
from
'capitalist"
business
groups,
contains
the-
power
to
seriously
Interfere
with
the
development
of
the
co-operative
movement,
Douglas
Clark,
University
of
British
Columbia
extension
de
partment
lecturer,
told
a
meeting
in
the
Metropole
Hall
last
night.
"As
co-operatives
expand
and
take
in
a
greater
part
of
the
economy
of
the
country,
the
state
should
have
the
right
to
exact
revenue
from
them
but
H
should
be
done
in
a
way
that
will
not
Interfere
with
their
growth,"
he
declared.
Mr.
Clark
said
that,
on
Us
present
basis,
the
co-operative
,
taxation
act
which
was
Invoked
last
year,
is
unfair,
because
Jt
taxes
reserve
funds
"apparently
to
prevent
the
building
up
of
re-
j
serves."
j
The
present
act,
he
asserted,
cannot
benefit
the
national
revenue
greatly
because
Its
effect
is
to
lay
a
heavy
taxation
burden
on
the
relatively
small
consumer
co-operatives
by
levying
on
their
working
capital
and
surpluses.
'
"The
large
producer
co-operatives,
however,
will
only
be
lightly
hit
because
they
are
merely
agents
for
tUe
producers
and
never
show
a
surplus.
The
picture
is
different
with
the
consumer
groups
which,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
have
surpluses
built
up
from
savings
to
consumers."
The
Prince
Rupert
Fishermen's
Co-operative,
while
it
is
definitely
established
as
a
marketing
agency,
nevertheless
is
linked
to
some
consumer
func
tions
by
its
stores
and
because
of
th.s
link,
the
whole
capital
of
the
association
is
liable
to
taxa
tion,
Mr.
Clark
asserted.
Many
people
feel
that
current
provincial
legislation
designed
to
tax
co-operative,
fish
buyers
in
camps
along
the
coast
Is
an
attempt
to
prevent
the
further
growth
of
-the
co-operative
movement,
he
said.
In
answer
to
a
question
from
the
audience
as
to
how
the
present
legislation
could
be
changed.
Mr.
Clark
suggested
that
cooperative
members
should
write
to
the
Minister
of
National
Rev
enue
and
to
their
members
of
Parliament
in
order
to
strength
en
their
stand.
Action
taken
In
the
co-operatives
In
Britain
and
Sweden
might
provide
a
pattern.
"If
this
Is
the
'thin
edge
of
the
wedge,'
then
co-operative
members
will
have
to
take
a
more
nctlve
interest
in
politics.
This
has
already
happened
in
Sweden
and
Britain,"
he
renMed.
He
suggested
that,
in
order
to
protect
themselvcs'sgainst
"unfair"
taxation,
producer
cooperatives
must
definitely
establish
themselves
