Printc Uupm Dai'lp mos Tftursday February 27, 1047 (Autborl " Second Cla Mall, Poet Offlc Department. Ottawa! Anscomb's Budget F the spirit of old John Oliver hovers ground I e Legislative Assembly what a shock he must vl-h8u ivhlln "'Herbert Anscomb brought down his budget yesterday disclosing an estimated revenue of around .$59,000,000. Well do we remember the consternation and alarm felt and shown by the late Premier John Oliver about 25 years ago when the budget came close-to $20,000,000. That grand old man feared then jthe Province was headed for bankruptcy with what seemed in those days 3 tremendous sum to be collected from the tax-payers and expended bv the government. 1 Now, without blinking an eye, the former critic of governmental expenditures wfien sitting as a member of the Conservative opposition, Mr. Ans-conjb, brings down his estimates of expenditures 1 to the tune pf 58,781,334. ' ' But we do not think there is any cause for alarm. Our population and production have increased tre- mennOUSlV. Exnnnsirm nf ciol ....: if, V -i m;i vices, pensions, J.- i .education, health, forestry and public works has been going on year by year and must continue to do senSes m mmUlin a hfh standard of these Fortunately our production of wealth both from nature resources and secondary and subsidiary industries has grown well ahead of governmental services and expenditures. The increased grant from the Dominion Government under the recent Dominion - Provincial agreement will of course add many millions to the revenues compared to last and preceding years. Ax-cording to statistics recently released at Ottawa; the national income for 19-JC was around $9', billions, only half a billion under the peak of the war years. It is safe to assume that the share of the national income in British Columbia is around he bilhon-dollar mark. It is further estimated that the gross national product in Canada last J year was pver $11,000,000,000. Gross national products includes taxes and depreciation not included the national income figure erefre. that British Columbia's share of the national product is over a billion dollars, which in our opinion it must be though actual ictcucu, me governmental expenditures of narly $60 million is not at all oDt of line with the production and income in the province. edo not think there is anything to be fearful of in. these estimates. In modern society it js essential that the State assume a considerable responsibility for the redistribution of the income wealth of its community.. By ho means does that imply a Socialist State but father an enlightened State that leaves enterprise to function in the productive field but sees to it that sufficient is withdrawn by taxation, without unduly penalizing industry and thrift, to ensure that members of the community shall receive those services that can only be supplied by the community's own organization, which is the State, corn-P?f? f th executive government who are part ?;36 el?w "Presentatives of the communities forming that State. Whether or not revenues and expenditures will continue to rise in the immediate future yan h too-much for us to prophesy, But it is certain t W I? lor fc an expanding economy And if we do have an expanding economy it is reasonable to assume that and I kpendi ure will parallel governmentalcome that expansion. t.Ji Coal,tlon government may not move as fast as some woul(fhave it do.

RAIL CAR SHORTAGE A SERIOUS rnsc in t . M vUioTr- , ,tlulf! central interior CLitnct is in sight i due to the shortage of rail-jl h boxcars for shipping lumber. I -5 .pressing need for boxcars fm tV,Q uun, of grain is the reason gjven for the embargo k . on cars for lumber shipment. From reports it appears thousands of Canadian boxcars are in the-United States, adding to JnWICUl f le "ilwy- We do not think carp ng criticism of the rajhvays is justifiable. Weather conditions, the steel strike and the press-mg demand for grain overseas have created a bad condition for which none was prepared. Something similar to this has happened in England with a coal shortage occurring just at the time weather con-, ditions were the worst in 100 years. - A. mm im&mAimim & GOVERNOR -GENERAL ALEXANDER ENDS W WTE HOUSE vriT Tunis, governor -ceeral ,l car ,ix zri ug, r "i I -man as they leave tiie White Hi Xr - . c. .. , V right are Canada Acbassador Hume W it Mi 'rrJ r V" rmtor.
