REGRETTING ITS OWN ACTION

A Vacouver paper which once was
supposed to lean’ towards the Conser-
vative party, but was regarded os fair
and reliable, was responsible for the
disorganization of the Conservative
partyin B. C. and for the undermining
of the Tolmie government. That paper
bellowed-and howled and sereamed for
months, demanding independence in all
provincial affairs. The weakest thing
Premier Toimie ever did was to ylel
to the howlings of that paper. .
Now nominations are over it is dis-
covered that there are over two hund-
red candidates in the field seeking el-
ection to forty five seats.Of the two
hundred odd there are hardly a hand-
ful that know what It is all ‘about.

.. ‘The people, in a moment of weakness
accepted that talk of “give us indepen:
dents. and they flocked to the return-
ing officers with their papers like the
Canadian geese going south at this séa-
son of the year, Result—a horrible
mess. ;

That Vaneouver paper is now howl
ing just. as hard about the horrible
mess it has crented, One of its writ-
ers suid the other day: that possibly a
hundred of the two hundred odd had
sufficient intelligence to know what it
was aH about. Other writers on the
eilitorinl page are bemoaning the fact
that the public took the paper serious-
ly, and are trying to pass the buck for
‘responsibility on to the public. -

That Vancouver paper has done Brit-
ish Columbia and her. people more real
harm than had the government repu-
diated its debis.It will be many Jong
years before Britiri Columbia will re-
gain its lost prestage in the world. No
one knows it better than that paper,
hence itsavaillng now at the mess it
has made, , oe
Phe first time that any reeognition
was ever made of this district by a pro-
yincinl government, was when the late
Tolmie government built the high level
bridge over’ Bulkley canyon. That bit
of work is of a permanent character
and it, was ndinitted that Central and
Northern B..c. rewlly have .& future.
The government to which Hon. T. De
Pattutlo belonged was the government
whieh closed the lirldge that was over
the qinyon and left it closed, telling
the world that there was nothing’ ner-

“My Pattulle, now leader: of. that
e_me party hes shown no signs that he
has changed his’ views «uy. He has
not once ndlimitted that the northern in-
terior was good for anything Imt to
send solid Tihernl snpport.Is it not time
for n-change? Tf My. Pattullo cannot
chauge is it not time the Skeena voters
phangeil?

_ Candidate Has
Policy to Offer

Dr. BR. C. Bamford, the Independent
Candidate for Skeena, is at present in
the western section of the riding cam-
paigning. He is meeting with a recep-
tion that is at once flattering to him

»

ers.Dr, Bamford's platform is outstand
ing for the policies being advanced for
the betterment of conditions in the pro-
vince, and particularly for the encour-
agement offered to the farmers of the
Central: Interior. ‘

It is not too mmeh to say that Dr.
Bamford’ agricultural policy  repre-
sents the only sound and practical plan
ret put forward for a solution of the
wiemployment and agricultural prob-
lems: of thix country. It is mot based
on mere theory, but is.an outgrowth of
the Doctor’s-years of experience as a
farmer in the Francois Lake district.
supplemented by five years of service
as a member of the Advisory Board of
Agriculture for British Columbia.
Failure ‘of Intérior farmers to cap-
ture the Prince Rupert‘market is not
due,, 18 nlany seem to believe, to lack
of quality or to inability to compete
with southern growers. It is the dir-
ect result of a lack of continuity of
supply. In other words, interior farm-
ers are not now in a position to supply
all orders for farnt products from
Prince Rupert, as there is not snffici-
ent produced to ensure & steady supply.
The only remedy for this situation is
to increase the number of farmers on
the Land; and to this end it would seem
a. wise plan to,make. available the re-
verted government Iind at prices and
terms which would constitute a strong
inducement for many of the unemploy-
ed to seek independence in a return to
the soil. Onee these men become és-
tablished on farms they would cease
to be a burden on the government, and
at the same time they would be adding
to ou total production of farm pro-
ducts and allowing us to thus gradual-
ly dominate the Prince Rupert market.
Dr, Biunferd’s argrienltural policy is
the only plan yet announced by a crn
didate in this-riding for alleviating the
distress of the unemployed and at the
same time building up 4 market on the
coust, and ag snch {t ilegerves the seri-
ous cousideration of every. voter who
has the welfare of Skeena ani its clti-
zens nt heart. :

port that there is an egg laying type of

sidered from the standpoint of skeletal
