Civic Election ‘Dag

Our citiaens will have the privilege M687 oi taking part in the election cg the incoming municipal govern- ment, and it is a duty as well as a privilege to do so. ‘lhestiuidards oi government, civic, provincial and iederal, depend upon the intelligent interest of the electors in the issues which they are called upon to decide. The ballot is a safeguard oi democrat- 1c government only when it is used conscientiously. In the present in- stance there is no outstanding issue beiore the electors, and the excite-

The splendid appearance of Victor- ia Park and the public squares of the city, as well as the condition of our public buildings, was also properly commented upon by l-lis worship. For this the public property commit- tee was responsible. The method of street lighting, which is under the di- recticn of another committee oi the Council, was noticeably improved by the installation oi a large number of modern lamps and the extension oi lighting facilities to diflerent parts oi the city. ‘lhe market com- mittee also, whose duty it is to keep ‘the meatet building-in good repair. has periormed its work commend- ably. The Fire Department and Po- lice Department-two very important branches oi civic administration, maintainedyhlgh standards oi etiic- iency and received due comme -d-- tion. Ills Worship also referred to tho satisfactory handling oi the city finances as well as to the public health activities under the health committee and the supervision oi Dr. W. J.

He devoted much of his time to a discussion of purely local niiairs, his ehlei concern seeming to be, not with the interests oi Canada

' but with the position oi the Liberal

opposition in Saskatchewan.

What the public did expect from the Minister oi Finance, says the Montreal Gazette, was a statement which would indicate, however cir- ._cuinspectly, the willingness of the

v Government to correct a trade con-

dition which is lnlmioal to the indus-

. trial welfare oi Canada and to the

‘continued economic independence oi the Dominion. it was not supposed for a moment that he would antic- ipate his budget, but it was thought. "and the thought was eneouraqd b? preliminary iiespatchea from Ottawa. ahatamore aggressive intereltillillb ‘pup; commercial situation. V! "W

Premier Iarlhon has announced certain changes his Govemmefitjm- poses in inakrln connection with up legislative machinery p; out-sis; n. future member! obthe. legislature will be elected for a term of live years lurked vi iour you: as sentinel-e. ‘Phe five year term has been adopted in dnoet oi the Canadian provinces, but Ontario and Prince Edward Isi- and have till now adhered to the shorter traditional term ,of iour years.

' It may strike some persons as ra- ther singular that this change is to be made by a government which dis- solved the previous Legislature three years after it was elected, but there was a strong reason for that action which was iully explained to the e1- actors at that time and heartily ap- proved by them. very frequent elec- tions are both costly and undesirable.

Another proposedclaange is that oi raising the salaries oi the membe s of the provincial Cabinet to $10,000 each. As they control a. population one-third as large as that of the en- tire Domlnion, the change seems not to be unreasonable. Ministers will re- ceive in addition to their official sal- aries the ‘ demnlty oi $2,000 paid to other members oi the House, making $12,000. As salaries go in these days a great and rich province can well ai- iord to pay its leading public ofllc- ials generously.

The deposit made by candidates for election to the ‘Legislature is to be raised to $200 which will be returned to him ii he receives half as many votes as the successful candidate, but not otherwise. A similar provision is common to most legislative bodies throughout the British Empire and has proved to be very useful in pre- venting many entirely useless con- tests. The amount of the deposit var- ies quite largely in different sections of the Empire, but the underlying principle is a sound one.

The Globe, mildly criticises some oi the proposed changes. but expres- ses its opinion that they will be adopted by the House and be very generally approved by the people. And that seems to be quite probable.

M. Grattsn 0'Leary in Macbcan‘: tells that many citizens figured out on last new years day that they had spent too much money foolishly dur- lng 1020. some of-it in the stock mar- ket, and otherwise. and they resolv- ed that this year they would devote themselves to work for their own f ughout the, twelve months. ' "But they ‘ won't." writes» Mr. O'Leary. "They won't work twelve months for themselves. They won't start working for themselves until the morning oi February 1s. Until

Canuck-ior the State. They will work 26 days for the Dominion, l4 daysior the municipalities. 8 days for the Provinces. ‘Not until febril- ary l8 will they earn a copper ior .themselves."

For those who may deem this ian- ciful or absurd Mr. 01.9w quotes oi- ilcial authorities in an interesting way.

Sir John ‘itucdeueidm ilne olll hope at Earnsclliie, Ottawa, has been purchased by the British Govern- meht 'as a dwelling and oilice for its l-iigh Commissioner to Canada. Many would have much preferred that it v should have been acquired by the

Conservative party in Canada and occupied by the leader who has suc- ceeded the grand old party Chief who lived for years within its walls and died there. Ari it turns out Earns- cliiie will be less a party shrine than it once was, but still in friendly own- ership.
