Back In The Fight

The political strategy meeting here over the weekend

_ broved at least one important point -- there are enough people

dissatisfied with the Social Credit government to make the
coming election an interesting one in Cariboo at least.

After the punishing defeat inflicted last year on both old-
line parties, so one would have been surprised to see a mere
handful of loyal supporters turn out to pick candidates for the
June election. But this was not the case. The Liberals held a
successful convention in point of numbers and enthusiasm. The
Progressive-Conservatives had to find a popular choice before
they could boast of similar party feeling, but once this had
been accomplished the interest was not long in-making itself

shown.

The Social Crediters will have to wait for the formation of

their pari

s platform before they can start a real selling job,

but when this has been done the picture will be complete and
the local political pot will start boiling.
What is happening among Cariboo CCF circles seems to

be a deep dark secret.

Following the announcement that a

nominating convention was going to be held in Quesnel two
weeks ago, we have been unable to ascertain whether they
found a candidate or even went through with their meeting.
There is no reason for believing that the CCF will provide
tough competition in Cariboo anyway. On its past record, the
party has failed to interest enough voters in this riding to make
it a threat to be reckoned with, probably because we are still

primarily an agricultural area.

More Promotion Needed

Dr. A. H. Bayne, who recently returned from California,
has levelled charges at the Department of Trade and Industry
that British Columbia is not spending enough money to prop-
erly promote our province south of the border.

As past president of the B.C. Auto Courts and Resorts
Association, the doctor should know whereof he speaks, and
after listening to his fineings, we are inclined to believe his

charges.

Dr. Bayne put himself in the place of the American tourist
time after time and visited information centres to enquire

about British Columbia, and particularly the Cariboo.

The

information he received was not only vague, it was not true.

This should be rectified, and must be rectified, if B.C.’s
tourist industry is to continue growing to it full potential. We
are proud of the industry now and its value in dollars and
cents to the provincial economy. We should not be niggardly
about approving a suitable advertising budget to ensure its

expansion.

' From Another Viewpoint

~“PAYING AS THEY PLEASE”
(from The Prince George Citizen)

A Canadian citizen has been sen-
tenced to jail for retusing to make
an income tax return. He claims that
the Income Tax Department owes
him money for an overpayment of
taxes years ago, and says he will
make no more returns until his
claim is settled.

No doubt this citizen is violating
the regulations in thus refusing to
make a return;-and no doubt the
Income Tax people are within the
law in having him so sentenced.

But these regulations were made
by the taxing authorities and made
to facilitate their work, not that of
the taxpayers.

It would be interesting to know
how many people are in the saine

Colour From Plants

Through the efforts of modern
science, vegetation has many uses
unknown a few years ago. Chlor:
phyll, the green colouring matter of
plants, for instance, is used exten-
sively by manufacturers to colour
food, soaps, candles and other fa
tory products. The carotenoids, 1ne
yellow content of plant cells found
in combination with chlorophyll, are
a valuable source of vitamin A.

12-Inch Tongue

A seven-inch chameleon can cap-
ture a fly 12 inches away without
moving. His artillery consists of a
tongue longer than himself — a
lightning-like sticky-tipped weapon
which is shot out of the mouth in
much the samé way a watermellen
seed can be shot from between the
fingers.

Position as this taxpayer, unable to
collect refunds because they don’t
know how to get action on their
claims.

If this citizen had been dealing
with a privately owned corporation
no trouble would have arisen, for his
claim would haye heen investigated
and attended to as soon as it was
received.

Why can’t government depart-
ments do the same? The answer i.
because they are government de-
partments; they make their own
rules and regulations and give them
the force of law, and the convenience
of the taxpayers is only a secondary
consideration.

Who but a government could get
away with the practice of collecting
accourits in advance and letting ther
customers await their convenience
for adjustments of overcharges?
