'u" , To Problem Is Advocated Basis Should Be Cost Rather Than What : Traffic Can Bear - VICTORIA (CP) A basically new approach to railway rate -making was proposed to the royal commission on transport tation here by the British Columbia government. The gov ernment suggested that freight rates should be set on the basis of costs of service rather than the present method of value of service a method generally termed the principle of "what the traffic will bear." - i Establishing freight tolls on the basis of costs, the government said, would bring about 'substantially uniform rates throughout Canada." Th British Columbia govern ment's submission was delivered as the commission, under Hon, w- F- A- Turgeon, making a coast-to-coast inquiry into economic policy In relation to na tional transportation services, opened Its hearings In this Brit-lh Columbia capital. From here the Commission moves to Vancouver. One major point of disagreement was on the railway's depressed 'transcontinental" rates which provide lower charges from east coast points to Vancouver because of an element of water competition by way of Panama Canal. Alberta contested this but the British Columbia brief upheld the tolls.

A copy of the lease was received recently by District Public Works Engineer II. W. Stevens The lease covers stretches of the road from the railway crossing at Tyee, 24 miles east of Prince Rupert, to as far east as Pacific where the road was built during the war on railway property adjoining the track. Most of the area affected is I along the lower Skeena between Terrace and Tyee. ' Signing of the lease ended a period of negotiation which began shortly after the end of the war. It is likely that it will pave the way to establishment of highway passenger transport service between Prince Rupert and Terrace.

Election Pledf e Grim Warnlnj to All None of those who may happen to vote CCF In the coming general election can plead afterward that they did not know where the Canadian socialist party wa heading. If there ever were any doubts, they were all cleared away by National CCF Secretary David Lewis In a press conference this week. " During itsvery first term of office Mr. Lewis promised bluntly, the banks, the steel plants, the Canadian Pacific Railway, the packing plants, the farm Implements compan- les and the fertilizer plants would all be taken over. And that would only be part of the plan. Housing would be subsidized on a national scale, the Government would take over exporting and Importing and the whole economic life of the country would be flttd Into a rigid state-planned program. f Mr- Lewis didn't waste much breath trying to explain what would be left to private initiative. He didn't need to. With firm control of the key Industries specified, as well as finance, transportation and International trade, nothing more would be needed to turn Canada Into a socialist state. Mr. Lewis was even completely frank about the cost.. The social security his party, would offer, the subsidized " houses, the government jobs and government pensions for all, this would be provided by taxes "levied on all persons regardless of Income." Mr. Lewis knows that there ar far, far too few millionaires in this or any other country to pay the bills of socialism. The material rewards the Government would offer with one hand, it would take away with, the other but In exchange for our present freedom to choose our own jobs, to buy what goods we like, to live where we like and to say and think as we please, we would get nothing but regimentation. Certainly,-as the official CCF program points out, that would mean "a new way of life" for every Canadian citizen, but not one, we believe, that many would enjoy- Thank you Mr. Lewis, for warning us again. j, VOTE LIBERAL ON JUNE 27 (Published by the Skeena Federal Campaign Committee) of ills arrest is suggested.
