Attorney-General Manson is
quoted as advocating a clean-up
in the administration of the liqu-
nr act. He is said to propose to
handle booze ‘without profit’”’ by
not urging its sale. If the At
torney-General is sincere in not
wanting profit, (we don’t be
lieve he is) he could cut the price
and also induce that friendly (7)
government.at Ottawa to with-
draw its drag of $1.50 a bottle.
These two reductions would cut
the price in half and give the
public a run for its money. The
bootlegger would not find the
business so profitable nor would
he have so many customers. It
takes about two davs work on
the government road toe buy one
bottle: of Scotch Scotch. The
present prices are ideal for the
bootlegger, and apparently that
portion of the population is to be
atill further benefitted by ‘‘not
pushing the sale,” or in other
words, making the liquor stores
convenient supply points for the
bootlegger.

_ Reduced prices and lots of pub-
licity or shut it off entirely are
the only honest alternatives.

Politicians and political writers
are still guessing who’s who, and
why. Since Hon. John Oliver is

||likely to remain in the field if he

ean find a-seat, an effort is also
being made to josh Mr. Bowser to
stick around and thus continue
the farce of the past twenty or
more years. The southern press
speaks quite glibly of the Pre
mier running in Skeena, but the
offer to resign his: seat made by
Dr, Wrinch was subject to the
approval of the Skeena district
Liberal Association. To open up
Skeena for another election will
require some smooth. handling.
At that, the southern talk is very
largely bluff for the purpose of
whipping the south into line.

. An independent authority has placed
the annual expense bill of the forest

at $100,000,000.

This may roughly made up as un-
der:

Labor .....ceseeeeeees beneee $60,000,000

Freight, rail and ocean ..... 25,000,000
Towing, stevedoring, har: *
bor dues, insurance....... 5,000,000

Royalties and taxation ..... 6,000,000
Miscellaneous......-++- Veta, 2,000,000
; $100,000,000
This very conservative estimate,

based as it is upon the buying capacity
of over 3,600 concerns, demonstrates to
what an enormous extent the business
houses of the province are dependent
upon the lumber industry for their
turnover and what a catastrophe the
withdrawal of such purchasing power
would mean to the community.

A considerable percentage of ,

large concerns, but the atorekeapers

the industry spend their wages.

There are 40,000 men who clothe,
feed and amuse their families and
themsélves out of “the lJumbermén’s
payroll.

If the industry’ 8 workers spent on an
average as little as $15 a week on rent,
food, clothing and. other necessities, it
is easy to see how badly the storekeep-
ers would fare*without their fustom,
