That casts a different light on the ‘subsidy’, a ‘the
editorial concludes. >.

Provision of transportation “in ‘British,
Columbia has always been a. matter of public
policy. And we have ‘many kinds of tran-
sportation corridors, Some of them are asphalt.
on which trucks and private passenger cars as
_ well as public < and private transit vehicles move.

Some of them are steel highways -- railways --

on which our industrial products and natural
resources move. Some are water highways,
moving a mix of people and merchandise.

We have never asKed our asphalt highways tt
pay for themselves: Why should steel. highway
“be any different?. ~ -

Our asphalt highways are paid for entirely by
public money and are maintained by pubic
money as well.- No folls are charged. Our
provincial railway development has. been
similar. Where there was a fallure by the
national railways fo open up our province,
provincial governments In the past expanded the
B.C. Rallway. .

In fact, the opening. up of the rest of the
country in the great railway building era of the
last centtury, saw the federal government make

_ huge grants of cash, land anid other concessions

to the Canadian Pacific Railway. For. the

development of B.C., it seems, is the federal"

government applying different rules. -

guarantee of a.certain load factor - coal
