Water and H.C.L. |

A great hurrah is made by some
about the condition of the coal
miners in Nova Scotia, who have
been on strike for a long time
and at different times. The Ed-
monton Bulletin lays the blame
for the distressing conditions at
the door of the: Canada Steel
Corporation, which, it savs, is
flooded with watered stock, and
to -pay interest on that water
necessitates grinding the men
down to privation wares,

We do not take issue with the
Bulletin, but would like to em-
phasize the point that watered
stock is responsible for much.
more .than starvation wages for
employees. It-is responsible also
for.the high cost of the finished
article. Corporations and com-
panies with watered -stock milk
the cow at both ends.
There are comparatively few
corporations today that are not
carrying as much.or more water
ed stock as they have legitimate
stock, and‘the workers and con-
sumers have to pay the dividends,
There are few things jn the eom-
mercial world today that do not

stock. What few articles are
produced without water are tax-
ed heavily as soon as they pet on

way, for there are few corpora-
tions carrying more water than
this same railway.

When the time comes’ that a
government is sufficiently eoura-

and stop the flow of water into

panies the cost of living: will come
down, wages will go up, living
conditions will be raised and the}’

So long as corporations, and the
world of commerce today is run
by corporations, are allowed to
collect dividends on billions’ of
dollars of worthless, non-existent:

conditions cannot improve, °
do:away with this fictitious stock:
is a tremendous task. ' There are:
such vast quantities of it and

would indeed be difficult to arouse |:
any noticeable publie opinion:

~ Soldier Settlement

“The report of the Soldier Settle-

ment Board, recently made pab-
lic, is most gratifying, and shows
the wisdom of the former govern-
ment in placing returned men.on
the jand and lending them.assis-
tance. The report shows that
the returned men are making
good and returning to the gavern-
ment the financial _ assistance
given them, to the extent last
vear of over’ seventy-five ‘per
cent. It is also very gratitying
to know. that the soldier settlers
in the northern interior of B.C.
are doing quite as well as those
back East. A very large per-
centage of the returned-soldier
farmers in this district are paid
up, or nearly so. For the most
part they are making good far-
mers and vood citizens,

It is reported that the provin-
cial Att¢riey-General will once
more attempt to secure for the
B.C. government a monopaly of
importing liquor. Three times
now the Canadian senate has
justified its existence by throwing
out the bill, and it will hardly zo
back’ on its own decision this
time. There must be some check
on the quality of ‘liquor imported
and the price at which it is
retailed. .
