Set Fine Example

PAGE 4 _ FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1966. ! The death yesterday of Councillor

W.R. MacNeill has been a shock to all’

our citizens, for he seemed to en- joying excellent health, with many more years of useful activity before him, Certainly few men have set a finer example of zeal and devotion,to

the duties he assumed on his election *

to the City Council six years ago, and particularly in late years since faking ever the heavy responsibilities of chairman of the finance committee, and of the labor relations board in which he was engaged, at the time of his death, in seeking to reach an - agreement with the local union of civic employees in a contract dispute. ' He served.in many other capacities, notably as deputy mayor for two years, and always with credit to him- self and to the council. An energetic and successful busi- ness man, Mr. MacNeill also found time for participation in a wide range _of other activities, bringing him into contact with all classes of our people. He was popular everywhere, for he was invariably courteous and con-

siderate. His genial smile and warm

handshake were something which his

.many friends will long treasure in their memories. They bespoke a nature that was open and above: board, and that set a high value on the- amenities of. life as well as on its more onerous responsibilities.

“A man of his calibre,” says

Mayor Cox in his tribute to Mr. Mac- -

Neill on this occasion, “is always difficult to replace.” His death indeed is a reminder that public office now-

There should be appeal to the courts from decisions of boards and_agencies_.on questions of both law and jurisdiction, but not of fact, with full appeal to the courts on all matters affecting com- pensation. And, most importantly, a Commissioner of the Legislature (an Ombudsman) should be appointed, it being found during the course of the committee hearings that such an of- ficial ‘could lend a needed helping hand’ #n-many ‘cases. }

The Manning government has been talking of the need for legislation of. this kind for’ some time. It now Kas the ball in its court and should relish the opportunity of putting its pre- cepts into practice. The Emonton Journal says that the draft Ombuds- man Act submitted by the committee is quite adequate on most points. But it urges, as well, the need for bring- ing within. the jurisdiction of an Ombudsman the acts of local govern- ment, also the setting of his pay— and his approximate qualifications for - the position—at the level of a

“Supreme Court Justice; and—above

all—the importance “fof not weaken- ing his position by unnecessarily cur- tailing his powers of jurisdiction, and

ence.”

This latter proviso is indeed the crux of the whole matter. It will re- quire a high grade of politicians to give in their loyal support. Alberta

‘now has a chance of show what it can

do in this regard, and we wish it luck.

Johnson’s Warning - “The ease with which any person can acquire firearms,” President Johnson told the U.S. Congress a year

_ago, is a “significant factor” in the national crime rate. He urged passage

‘of legislation to-curb the scandalous

Chance For Alberta

An omission noted in the Throne Speech at Ottawa this year was any reference to. providing for an Om- budsman—-that ‘citizens’ defender’ about the need for whom there was much talk before the November gen-

eral election. Some of the provinces have been toving with the idea of establishing such an office on, their own account. Now a legislative com- .™ mittee in Alberta has tabled a report

recommending action in the matter, —

and the statements set forth are of interest to all who have been concern- ed about the encroachments of _ bureaucracy on a free society. ao warns that inadequate

rights in. setting up administrative agencies in the province. If finds only one statute in which the Legislature has given clear recognition. that a fair and reasonable balance is to be maintained between private rights and public advantage according to “the real needs of society.” It agrees that boards and tribunals have a role in expediting public business, but out- ‘lines the kind of protection needed to safeguard against\their abuses., '' Several areas,of controversy. the committee declared beyond its juris- diction. but it recommended that an Administrative Procedures Act be passed an act that would compel all tribunals to adhere to certain basic

His plea is supported by the Interna- tional Association of Chiefs of Police anc by the American Rar Association, and should: appeal to all who are concerned about this menace.

But the President may still have an uphill battle on his hands. The as- sassination of Presideht Kennedy by a fanatic with a’ mail-order rifle put the need for curbing the purchase of: firearms in this manner in the most sensational light. The failure of that appalling warning to bring action on the legislative level can be taken-as a measure of the effectiveness of the “pressure groups that are working against it.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The British election campaign is spawning a gigantic betting spree the >

like of which has never been seen

before. Betting in Britain is heavily taxed so it is entirely possible the government will recover much of the

' cost of the election.
