(CP PHOTO i THE break-up of British Columbia's coalition of Liberals and Progressive Conservatives will bring a feeling of relief to thousands who have long held .the opinion that it has outlived an existence born of the dubious motive of keeping the C.C.F. party out of power in this province says a Prince George Citizen editorial. .' As has been stated in this column several times ia rupture in the Coalition regime was inevitable in iew of the constant bickering between cabinet members of different party faiths, and even those of similar political viewpoints. The mud boiling to the surface of the political pot with the "firing" by Premier Ryron Johnson of his Minister of Finance was even thicker at the bottom. We can see nothing harmful in the collapse of ;the coalition. For too long now there has been an tibsence of a healthy competitive spirit in our public ;affairs. Amendments have been adopted without any '-discussion in the Legislature, acts have been put jthrough with the public having only a hazy idea of 'their contents, as witness the forest management licence plait ; " The 3 per cent sales tax was introduced to bolster j-evenue. It has succeeded, but in accomplishing this end has had a strong inflationary effect, adding as, much as 7 per cent to the cost of small articles coming within its scope. - There is a strong body of opinion that the government is depending too much on the liquor traffic Separate Schools May ray . . . 1 . ,V - Vjin V...

On reflection,' employers might object strongly at again being forced io act as an agent of the government as in the case )f the 3 per cent tax. - Despite these and other shortcomings, we have in many respects had good government in B.C. in .Yecent years. It has spent more millions than any rtitjier government. It cannot be charged with being niggardly, as new highways, schools and social services will bear witness, and has made every effort to keep British Columbia in the forefront of western Canada's booming industrial expansion. ; In this latter connection, some people, including members of the late Coalition government, have charged that cabinet members have lacked foresight in signing away the province's resources in order to attract new capital. This matter probably will be high on the list of election campaign topics. :,; We must now realize that coalition governments are never a long-run solution. Too often, to get agreement, they must water down the soup until it is tasteless. ; " It is good to see the foundation being laid for a strong political contest out of which will, it is to be hoped, some one group will emerge with an over-all majority to bring strong and vigorous government to our province. have built their own school. phasis, in the manner you point the service, one now hears that Or course it i. . tr. with money raised in their tip-! out in your editorial.

They say their standard of .secular education cannot be as high as that of public schools unless they get help from the provincial education department. They cannot pay salaries asked by competent teachers; playgrounds and school equipment fall .short of the public school standard. If Roman Catholics send their children to parochial schools they must meet the cost of this and also pay the school taxes all British Columbians pay to cover public school education. This is what Roman Catholics ln B C. mean by "double taxes" for schooling. Archbishop William M. Duke of Vancouver said ln a recent sermon: "(The Roman Catholic Churehi Is unwilling to send their children to the public schools because ln these schools the most important subject in the eyes of God and ln the eyes of all true Christian parents is omitted: namely, the teachine and practice of the religion of Christ." To this, the government ays, in effect: "Well and good. We have no quarrel with that. You may build and operate your own Continuea on page Oj G.E.
