Edmonton Letter

Edmonton, Alberta— Tendency of the Alberta government to enter into unsound business ventures, as instan- ced by its expensive adventure banking through the “treasury bran- ches” idea, brought grim from opposition members of the leg-

islature last week that the province poses, but the trend toward govern- '

is heading for financial disaster. The warnings came in the debate

on the budget, after it had been _re-! vealed that more than $600,000 is be-|

just I O. U.’s are being deposited to replace securities in the sinking fund account; and that the budget calls for a total expenditure of $26,518,894 in the fiscal year 1939-40— a record high for the province. The deficit is to be over $1,150,000.

The upward trend of taxation must be taken as a distinct warning that taxpayers have almost reached’ the limit of their paying ability and that no foolish, unsound or risky expendi- tures shoull be tolerated, Liberal Lea- der E. L. Gray told the government. But his motion for deletion of the social service tax, by which land-ow- ers in the province are assessed an extra $1,250,000 a year, was voted down by the Social Credit majority in the house.

He included the Social Credit board grant of $52,150 in the credit. house appropriation in estimating the total of more than $600,000 estimated cost of that adventure, and remarked that taxpayers themselves must pay the cost of bonuses, commision fees, and interest in addition to the actual “credit house” levies.

“It is most unsound business and can only reslit in an increased bur- den to the taxpayers of Alberta and the ultimate collapse of the treasury branch system, with a residue of in- creased provincial debt,” Mr. Gray warned.

Meantime, the civil servants in the province have been enlisted in the treasury branches and bear the brunt of the government’s experimentation with the scheme in which taxpayers just cannot win, Having assured the government that they would co-operate if the government wanted to try bus- iness, chartered banks are continuing to help all they can. Bui it remains a fact that Aberbart and his cabinet, if they really beleived that banks could really create money and credit out of nothing, could establish their own bank and start its operation, with the same powers as any other banks, with the money they are spend: ing on the “credit houses” and could! have tried just what they say banks do, including loaning money,

It remains now to be ssen how much of the deposits in the “credit houses” are kept liquid; that is, whether the money put there by patrons is kept on|

, hand, or whether it is linked witb i other purposea of the cabinet.

ment recently submmitted a brief to the Dominion Govt, in which they out- lined a number of facts and figures bearing on the problem of western’ farmers and made suggestions to im-| prove their situation. In part they: claimed that the tariff of 1930-35 bore! heavily on the West to the extent of| many hundreds of millions of dollars, in order to assist the Eastern indust- rial commonwealth, and ff is high time for turn-about, As a result of low prices, the 1938 crop, twice as large as | the 1937 yield, returned substantially (ess than the crop of 1937. This ta due to lack of market, caused py trade re- strictions of other countries for mil- itary or financial defence, subsidizing home grown wheat to the exclusion of foreign wheat. As Canada must ex- port two thirds of her crop, this is a serious condition. It is apparent also} from the action of the large producing countries that they are not prepared to see their internal economy and ex ternal position determined by world market prices. Only the Wheat Boards action in securing a pegged price av- erted a majir economic disaster in Canada in 1988, and the situation is still clouded with tle same issues, The wheat exports constitute 20 per cent to 38 per cent of Canada’s export trade, and is thenefore a majir consid: eration.

The development of the West was accompanied by the investment of iapital from the U, 8, the United King: dom and the continent. To maintain our foreign credit we must maintain

INTERMEDIATES—

One of the biggest crowds of recent years turned out to watch the Red Wing-Gunner game here on Wedues- day when Gleichen won the round 6-4 and qualified as Southern Alberta champions in a stiffly fought duel, Red Wings entered the series in a state of fatigue from too many games close together, and they were natural: ly not up to their peak. Two of the Wings were in bad physical shape from previous games and others more or less playing under the handicap of bunged up bodies. The boys have’ made a good record throughout the series, bringing home the bacon from several hard fought contests, and they are disappointed that they were not in better condition for Wednes- day's game, when they feel the result

| would have been reversed.

Though Wings seemed to be trying

| to wear down the Gunners in the first ‘and second period, they were unsuc-

cessful and Gleichen stayed right in the fight all the way. In the first, period Gunners opened with a barrage of three goals, a lead which Wings, were unable to wear down. They: made two bids in the second, and two! in teh third, while Gleichen earned

| Paris, called the “Institute of Radium”

which was opened’ in July 1914, one mouth before the World War. During the War, Madame Curie was of great service on the Western front, using her radio rays much the same as Xrays were used later, She had twenty cars equipped with radiologi-

| cal apparatus, driving one herself, and

helping to look after wounded sold- iers. She also equipped two hundred rooms in hospitals for the same pur- pose.

Following the war, the women of America, learning that Madame Curie required a gram of pure radium to continue her research work, raised a subscription in the United States to obtain the radium, in 1921, Madame Curie made her well known visit to America to receive the radium, worth over ope hundred thousand dollars, from the President.

Fame and glory had come to Marie, but she did not want them. She was now an old woman, and the honors pouring in on her frail head counted less with her, than her notebooks, her test tubes and the bare laboratory walls.
