FIRST SECTION

On the subject of contingent
liabilities, the premier said that
borrowings of the B.C. Power

by Victoria and come under this

classification, would be paid back

by the rates charged to
customers and not.by the tas-
payers. sy

There is nothing new about
his government's method of
treating contingent liabilities in
preparing a financial statement
of the province, Mr. Bennett
asserted. He said that former
governments” figured out the
provincial debt; deducted from
the figure the B.C. Power. Com-
mission debt, and ‘the sinking
fund ‘requirements to reach a
net debt figure.

This figure stood at 190
million dollars when his govern-
ment took oyer, the premier
stated, and went on to say that
it was now 62 million and that
by 1959 this. figure would be
wiped off the books.

Other subjects touched on by
the premier included:

B.C. has the largest highway
spending program per capita
of any province in Canada.

B.C. Power Commission is
‘spending more this ‘year than

helping over 75,000 families to live better electrically

The B.C. Power Commission’s rural electrification pro-
gram, begun in 1945, is keeping up with the huge
expansion programs going on all over the province. The
number of customers now served by the Commission
now exceeds 75,000 families in nearly 200 communities.

B.C. ig the only province in
Canada that guarantees school
board bonds.

Former governments spent a
high of 1 million dollars on
hospitals in B.C. -This year
30 million dollars are going

- to this department.

B.C. has increased social ser-
vices and pays a cost of living
bonus to old age pensioners,
which, though the premier
said is ‘not enough, is still

As one example, the candidate
said that a rancher in the Chil-
cotin paid $141 in annual taxes
under the coalition government.
This amount rose to $450 on the
same land the year after the
Social Credit Party came into
power, and this year climbed to
$900.

The irony of the tax increases
in many of these distant rural
areas, Mr. Kohnke said, was the
property owner had nothing in
the way of services to enjoy.
They sometimes hayen’t a school
to send their children to and
have no paved roads ‘or town
conveniences.

Expressing his thoughts on a
government economy measure
on the P.G.E. last year that
resulted in the lay-off of some
men and the closing of the Lone
Butte station, Mr. Kohnke said
if the premier had really wanted

he could have fired Einar
Gunderson and saved $15,000.
Phe speaker thought that what
was needed on the P.G.B. was
a man in charge who is a rail-
roader,

Charges Socreds Raising
Taxes, Not Lowering Them

HARGES that the Social Credit government has

succeeded in raising taxes in British Columbia,

not lowering them, were made by Liberal candidate
Felix Kohnke here Tuesday night.

trict was a new bridge across
the Fraser River. Such a bridge
would pay for itself in the

lumber alone that will be
brought over it, the speaker
asserted.

On the subject of lumbering,
the candidate thought the gov-
ernment should lower the stump-
age rate and also subsidize the
industry in-a way by removing
the recent P.G.H. freight rate
hike,

Mr. Bennett’s much publicized
highway program wasn't as
great an chievément as it is
painted, according to Mr.
Kohnke, who said comparisons
on budget speeches showed that
in 1950-51, 16 per cent of the
provincial budget was allocated
and in 1957-58
only eight per cent of the
budget was set side for this
ork. You can only work with
the money you have, the speaker
claimed,

In asking his listeners to con-
sider him for election next
Monday, Mr. Kohnke stressed
the importance of having a
stronger opposition. Opposition
means everything, whether -in
politics or business, he asserted.
Referring to the Socred majority
the candidate stated, ““ Where 35
men are thinking alike, there is
not much thinking done.”

Tory‘and Liberal “go s
are charging up to 17c.

Mr. Bennet had a word to say
about newspapers. The Press of
the province started criticizing
his government when it ‘came
into power in 1952, and it has
been at it ever since. Mr,
Bennet said, he forgave them,
however, because they were
doing such a good jol of adver-
tising Social Credit.
