NEW. HAZELTON, B. C., OCTOBER: 2, 1925

Bushby Outlines St Stand At:
Largely-Attended Meeting|

The first campaign meeting in

: New Hazelton was held. Tuesday

afternoon in the school house by
Geo. B. Bushby, the Conserva-
tive candidate. In spite of the
fact of it being an afternoon ses-
sion, and that the -majority of
the citizens are workers, there
was a fair number present and a
feeling of approval was notice-
able after the candidate spoke.
The first matter touched upon
was the national debts and the
budget. With a debt of two and
a half billion dollars on which the
annual interest charges. are over
three hundred million, Canada’s
total revenue was under: three

hundred and fifty million andthe

annual expenditure, aside from
the interest charges, was nearly
equal to the total revenue. Each
year Canada has to borrow vast
sams to pay our interest charges,
Our credit is good and we can
f Bet lots of money, because there

ay. is no country in the world sorich
= in natural resources.

Canada is today spending vast

f sums for national luxuries and

‘, fovernment expenses. Without

a ; the cost of Canada’s government
i today is practically what it was
mi Six years ago when the war was

mu just over.

We have not reduced
;our debts and we have not re-
duced our taxes. ©

q The Conservative policy is to
aa stop expenditures on luxuries, ‘to

‘reduce our taxes. and. to devote

‘every effort to ‘the development
pot our natural resources, ard to

develop them to the last stage of

Losing Our Own People

Owing to the policy of the pre-
sent government we are losing
and have lost thousands of our
best people. here is a steady
flow across the border and back,
according to conditions, but there
are thousands of our highly cap-
able and highly trained men and
wonien who go to the States and
never come back. They make
good. They are in great demand
over there and rapidly climb to
the top. Those are the men and
women we want in Canada, the
ones we need to develop our re-
sources to manage our industries
But until we establish industries
and thus create’ positions we can
never hold those people, and they
are the highest type of men in
the world taday. - ‘Our universi=7

~The Canadian Tariff

Mr. Bushby is entirely in ac-
cord with Mr, Meighen, the lead-
er of the Conservative party, on
the tariff question. There must
be adequate protection for Cana-
dian farm produce and for Cana-
dianindustry. Canada must, first
supply her own people with their
ewn goods, The Conservatives
will erect a tariff wall which will
keep Canada’s market for Cana-
dian producers, keep Canadian
money. at home and increase Can-
adian industry to such an extent
that Canadian people wilt stay in
Canada and Jmany thousands will
be glad to come from other. coun-
tries, not as pap-fed. immigrants,
but as self reliant and ambitious
settlers.

The first step will be to take
the tariff forever out of the realm
of polities, They will appoint a
commission of fully qualified men
from industry, . agriculture and
labor to first investigate the tar-
iff situation ‘and to establish. a
mean tariff to apply to all Can-
ada and fromm time to time advise
alterations in . Accordance with

To walk from Prince Rupert to
Vancouver i is the aim of Mrs. §,
Johnson and Miss Anna Rorvik,
of Prince Rupert, who arrived in
New Hazelton on Monday after-
noon, These adventurous women
left their home town on Friday,
September 18, and, making their
way by easy stages, hope ‘to
reach their goal in two. months,
given favorable weather.

The motive which ig prompting
their long walk the fair hikers
declined to reveal when - they
were interviewed, but, whatever
it is it was sufficient to cause
them to refuse a chicken dinner
that Bob Allen at Hanall wished
to give them if they would wait.

Their journey so far, they say,
has been without undue feature,
although one night, after decid-
ing to camp out, they saw a bear.
Thereupon they revised their
plan and spent the night in a
cabin, the door of which they
barred securely, but the open
windows they overlooked. Hows
ever, Bruin did not visit them:

_ Dave Purvis returned from the
Nation Lake country last week
where he spent the past summer
prospecting for gold and platin-

farther up tha creek where it is
narrower and where he antici-

He likes that country and has.a
