Being Held Medical men of this province heartily welcome the new provincial, contributory hospitalization scheme and will be ready to co-operate in every way possible with a view to bringing it into successful operation, Dr. L. H. Leeson, president of the British Columbia Medical Association, declared at a dinner meeting last night in the Civic Centre which marked the opening of a series of medical sessions and clinics marking the annual session of the Prince Rupert District Medical Association.

To conserve all available The Federal Budget WHO MIGHT have been looking-for relief THOSE in direct taxation as a result of the enormous surpluses being piled up year after year by the federal government are completely djsap pointd by the budget of Hon. Douglas Abbott, minister of finance. No one is, of course, hurt by the budget but there is little if anything offered in the way of relief from the burden of tax paying and living generally, Most interesting tax elimination, of the budget is the removal of. the eight percent sales tax from a wide range of food items. How much of the benefit will be passed on to the consumer remains to be seen. The minister of finance hopes that it will, be substantial. Elimination of the luxury tax on silver-plated cutlery, some alarm clocks and. watches, will not be of very far-reaching effect, To. certain elements the withdrawal of the federal government from the amusement tax field may be a matter of some satisfaction. The minister of finance admits, himself, that continued piling- up of record surpluses of revenue derived from taxation over expenditure would be unjustified except under special circumstances such as to curb inflation or pay off the national indebtedness more quickly. There are certainly no pleasant if no unpleasant surprises in Mr. Abbott's budget for any- section of the community of Canada. A MEAN ACT ROBBING a blind person is a mean act.

Medical STATEHOOD NOT NEW ' WITH STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA being widely, canvassed, there are many who jump, at the conclusion that this is something new. It is perhaps not generally known that as far back as 1906, the change from territorial status was. an issue. In that year. Judge James Wickersham, delegate to Congress, was busy on what; was known as the Enabling Act as a, preliminary to the introduction of the Alaska Statehood Bill. It did not nass, and this was expected. At a later date, Judfje Wickersham renewed, his efforts with practically the same results. So, it would' seem that the endeavor: to place a diadem on, Alaska's bead: is a, long and a tedious process. - sides of rock cuts scattered across the townsite. Mountains, once, were literally moved.
