The jump from voluntary premiums to a point vhere every B.C. resident and perhaps thousands if visitors hesides becomes eligible for low-cost lospital accommodation is an extremely abrupt one. Hospitals already jammed to capacity may sud-lenly find their problem very much worse. While ioctors will steer away the hypochondriacs who discover new ailments as the five per cent sales tax oes into effect, there will be many others with 'a egitimate, if not particularly pressing, claim for lospital attention who will wish to take advantage if the bargain while it lasts. Should they fail to get airly quick action, the. popular appeal of this latest !('HIS move may give way to public disillusionment nd complaint. Another potential difficulty lies in the effect of 'he increased sales tax on retail merchants. If this ane group must take a licking in order that provincial hospital insurance be continued, then the scheme is not the equitable social measure it is supposed to be and should be altered. On the basis of reports that the sales tax was to be increased, the B.C. branch of the Retail Merchants' Association of Canada conducted a survey which showed 87 per cent of retailers opposed to the plan. Although Premier Bennett has given assuiy ances that their businesses will not be hurt, it is not a matter on which predictions can be easily made. As the retailers remarked in their brief to the Premier: "Experience during and after the war with heavy taxes on luxury goods clearly demonstrated to retailers the reduction of trade which results from the application of direct taxes." Still a third danger is that the tax will impose a hardship on young people who are heavy purchasers of building materials and durable goods in the process of setting up their homes. On the credit side, the government deserves recognition for taking a bold .step to keep BCHIS alive. Too much money and sweat has been expended to let it perish without at least another try. Possibly fears about the plan will prove unfounded, and certainly it can be said that most who are paying premiums now will find the new scheme less expensive. Moreover, administration costs will be reduced and revenue increased. In these circumstances, it is fairer to wait and see than to condemn. Our guess is that, despite its apparent drawbacks, the plan has a pretty good chance of success.

In the hungry 30's, we were told to go out in the bush and build a shack to live in as .some of us did, but I see now the old finance minister. In spite of the great number of speeches that hav been made the members still had only a very slight knowledge of the intentions of the government. Rumors were persistent that it had in mind eliminating hospital Insurance premiums and raising the 3 per cent sales tax to 5 per cent. Now that Mr. Bennett's speech has disclosed this to be true the government will meet with very substantial opposition from many quarters. .' mart young woman in her own profession, can't spell woVth four apples, despite the fact that she is a university graduate.
