Fr*. * a SY 2 Prince Rupert Daily News Saturday, January 25, 1958 By mall—Per month $1.00; per year $10.00. » SREP iat BY carrier—ner month, $1.25: Per year, 812,00 tuthorizea as seecisi class mail by the Post Ofttce Department, Ottay to independent Throne Speech Reflections T WAS amazing to learn from reports given by our equally amazing finance minister Premier Ben- nett at Thursday’s opening of the British Columbia legislature, that the province’s revenue had reached un all-time high in the 1956-57 fiscal year. It was all. the more startling because only a short time ago Mr. Rennett seemed to be having trouble finding enough money to go round. On the one hand he tells us that he underestimated revenues by a paltry $46,000,000. On the other, the government was recently unable to come up with the District 52 school board cheque and and the school board had to borrow the money itself and, under the customary Social Credit system, pay the interest on a loan forced on it by the government. Then again. while telling us that B.C. has made a lot of money the premier casually mentioned that we are short $12,000,000 in cash on hand. Worse still, he says, “contingent liabilities” (M1, Bennett’s way of saying these funds do not belong to the provincial debt) have risen a whopping $100,000,000, to make a total for last year of $241,334,638 or only $30,000,000 short of the year’s revenue. But, before we have time to cry havoc, we are told that the Pacific Eastern Railway made money last year and we are com pletely saved by the fact hard-drinking British Columbians ecntributed some $25,000,000 in liquor profits to keep our heads above the water in the whisky. Financial- ly, then, we have no alternative but to believe that Mr. Bennett’s higher than high financing has kept B.C. out of the hands of the United States money- lenders for another year. ; Should the amendments of the Public School Act _, alter the curriculum to include high finance then there is a good chance that the present. younger gen- eration will understand Social Credit methods of financing. With Mr. Bennett at the helm, ably assist- ed by Mr. Einar Gunderson, B.C.’s finances have been a mass of confused mumbo jumbo for the last Six years. | Welcome indeed in the Throne Speech Thursday was the government’s plans for new forestry legisla-’ tion and a study of the Columbia River hydro-electric survey. With Mr. Gordon Sloan managing our forest business there is every possibility that a fair and profitable deal will be forthcoming both for big and small loggers and the people of British Columbia. On the hydro matter we must be assured that the gov- érnment, in its boundless enthusiasm, doesn’t leave us high and dry with neither power for ourselves nor equitable returns for om: resources. ‘More aid to municipalities, superannuation im- provements for city employees and changes in the Municipal Act are glad tidings for Prince Rupert City council, © Provincial civil servants, however, cannot help biit be suspicious of the fact that the only mention of them is an amendment to their health insu ‘ance scheme. This we believé falls far short of the salary demands made last year by the province’s 12,000 civil servants. It deepens the belief that Mr. Bennett ¢onsiders the civil servants’ two five-day weekends at Christmas and New Yeay’s plus their issue of Cen- tennial buttons, constitutes the pay increase they can expect. If so, then the premier would be wise to re- consider, _ Apart from the hope of an improvement. in B.C.’s education system, the most significant part of the throne speech to Prince Rupert is the govern- macnt's proposal to spend $80,000,000 on the prov- iiice's highway system, That gives My, Bennett's fevernment an excellent oportunity to prove its worth, A million dollars of that allotment could well be spent in completing the Port Edward to Cassiar Cannery road and the remainder, and more if neces sary, could finish the paving of Highway 16 at least between Prince Rupert and Terrace, Completion of these two projects would do much to show the resi- dents of this district that our premier’s words are something more than a big wind from the south.
