P. E. I. Doubly Affected By Rate Proposal

While the three Maritime Pro- vincial, Government: are acting through the Maritime Transporta- tion Commission in u- ing the

rates, it was stated that Prince Edward Island case ls somewhat different to the other Provinces in that lt i: based large- ly on agriculture and fishing.

In the caae of agriculture. M. wa: maintained this Province would be doubly hit by a large increase in freight on incoming feeds. fertilizer, etc., and lncrmse on outgoing ilve stock products, potatoes, turnips, etc.

The request was made on behalf of the Province that the Island be made into one zone instead of three and that the higher rates which exist east of Royalty Junc- tion and west of summerside be eliminated, ‘These zones were es- tablished at the time when the railway gauge here was being wid- ened to standard width and goods had to be transferred at these points to the remaining narrow gauge freight oars.

Other Disadvantage;

Presented on behalf of Mari- time- "owrnmeirt". the brie.f ad- vocated rnaintenance of the relat- ionship in rates between longhaul and short haul producers and cited the adverse effect such an increase would have on price ceil- ings in Canada. _ The "meagre" material submit- ted by the Railway Association of Canada failed to support the re- quested increase. the brief stated. adding that any consideration of the application should correlate the accounting practices of both the Canadian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in the rletermLnation _0f revenue requirements. Increases in charges to long haul traffic were opposed on the grounds of being unreasonable to persons and industries in the Marltimes and other parts of Cunadawdbpdndarrt uzvltiflfdist- nnce hauls. the brief continued. The document noted ~the per- centage increases as proposed would force demands for relief from price ceilings all along the line. It pointed out to the Prices Board that the proposed increase would be reflected in the price of food. the transportation costs of which the csr-xumers now bear in considerable part.‘ Assistance to shippers of west- am feed grains to British Colum- bia and Eastern Canada based on the increased rate would cost the Dominion treasury more than l1.- 000.000 extra annually, on the oasis of freight assistance ex- tended during the last fiscal year. The Board of Transport Cum- mission-s)"; and the Prices Board were requested to hold B! 19!!‘ one sitting in the Maritlmes Ln any hearing of the BDPHCBW" f" freight rate increases.

Ready For Service In P.E.I. This Winter

with eight new snow-plows ready to go into service. the De- partment of Public Works and Highvrays will be in a batter po- sition to keep the highways free of snow this coming winter than ever before. Hon. G. H. Barbour. Minister of Public Works and Highways, informed The Guardian yesterday.

In iiddition. Mr. Barbour said. ths Department will continue to use the three old Walters mach- ines for light work. These mach- ines are suffering from the lack of new parts which have been practically impossible to Obtain and from having borne the brunt of snow-fighting on the Provincial highways for the past several years.

Mr. Barbour said he was con» siderlrig establishing n permanent location for one of the plows at Fredericton. He considered a plow stationed there could work down- hill to meet the Charlottetown plow, thug expediting the work of keeping the main highway open. Another possibility was the locating of a plow at Bonshaw to look after the roads in that area.

But the legislative program for the next two years still rests largely in the hands of President Truman and his Democratic ap- pointees in the cabinet.

The President can veto or shelve Congressional legislation and ha: often done it even with the Dem- ocrats in control. His veto can be over-ridden by a two-thirds vote in each chamber but that would be hard to get when the margin of difference is so slight.

Thus the unpleasant situation crested by the existence of a Re- publican-contrclled Congress and a Democratic-controlled executive works against both sides.

The President still retains con- siderable executive power om and above Congress. and he has the power of veto.
