TO SETTLE WITH PROVINCES

——o

An. Editorial in the Edmonton Bulletin
It is again reported that‘ important
readjustments in the financial’ rela-
tions of the Dominion and the provin-
ces may be expected before the end of
the year. The need of these is unde-.
niable. What apparently is contem-
plated is: an ficrease in subsidies 1
around and the withdrawal of sub-
veutions that have -been extended for
What the federal authorities regard as
purely provinelalpurposes.. These
would be better served under such ar-
{raugements. and . Blans - couldbe. made
