SATURDAY, FEB. 4. 1950 Proof 0f Financial Responsibility l"|'ince Edward Island has a statute re- quiring drivers involved in liighivay acci- dents to produce proof of their financial re- sponsibility, but the Government has not yet proclaimed it in force, preferring to wait and see how such a measure works else- where. Nova Scotias similar law has now been in force for more than a month and some of its effects are reported in a recent Canadian Press despaich. Between Decem- ber l5 and January 11 no less than 106 Nova Seotian drivers lost their license and 119 motor vehicles were barred from the roads under the act. Licenses are suspend- ed when drivers and owners of lcars involved in an accident fail to produce proof of fin- ancial responsibility or liability insurance cards, and "are restored when such proof is forthcoming. One taxi company was out of llusirlcss after one of its cars was involved ill an accident, and a milk company's trucks were immobilized for the same rea- son. lll the latter ease the milk trucks were covered by liability insurance; but. insurance cards were not carried by the drivers. The provisions seem hard in some cases but the protection of the public against injury by financially irresponsible motorists is well worth some hardship. A further advantage noted in Nova Scotia is that in spite of a IZlS-per-cent increase in accident loss in 1949, premium rates for this type of insurance have remained unchanged. Soil Conservation Emphasizeii The need for a national council on soil conservation is advocated convincingly in a bulletin issued by the Agricultural Insti- tute of Canada. It points out that in spite of increased use of better grains, more and better fertilizers and other improvements in husbandry, yields of staple crops have re- mained about stationary. In other words, our soil is not as good as it used to be, is not producing as it should in response to the more intelligent efforts our farmers are put- ting forth. ‘ The Institute’s bulletin attributes this state of affairs to the lack of labor avail- able for farm work for some years; labor which could have checked the spread of weeds and fought insect pests from the be- ginning and-so far as possible by individual or group effort-have practiced tillage methods aimed at preventing sclil erosion. one of the most serious threats to the future of agriculture in Canada. The Institute credits both federal and provincial governments with being alive to the need of an alert policy of conservation of soil and water resources, but insists that, while much has been clone, it is not nearly enough to cope with the national need. Just as it is impossible for the individual farm- cr in very many cases to practice conserva- iion methods, since he is unable to provide the expensive equipment needed, what the natioliai problem calls for, according to the Institute, is a national conservation policy that wouldhook up and co-ordinatc pro- vincial organization. The policy that the Institute has set forth takes immediate account of the fact that the land resources of Canada are large- ly vested in the provinces. The national policy which it advocates is therefore feas- ible only through provincial cb-operation. ‘f0 carry out any coherent plan for conser- vation on a national scale the Institute sug- gests a federal co-ordinator of soil and wa- ler conservation and land use, with a na- tional council established on a joint federal and provincial basis, with power to imple- ment conservation programs throughout Canada. Responsibility for the carrying out of the individual provincial programs thus the agricultural departments of the province or provinces concerned. Suing Tho Grow; ' 'I‘iie Manchester Guardian calls attention to the curious fact that while, since 1947, the King of England may be sued in a court of law by most classes of bis subjects who believe that they have suffered an injury from his servants, the King of Canada (who happens to be the same person, and whose servants are equally failiblel may- still not be sued by a Canadian with a grievance ex- cept through the process of petition of rights. _ "Canadian iaw," says the Manchester - paper, “is derived from English law; but this nblie of the divine rights of kings, this prin- U010 the King can do no wrong, still ~ l _ inst autumn, Mr. FHE GUARDIAN.‘ I tion of following our country's lead. “The »Minister had declared that under the existing system there was no ‘substan- tial injustice‘ to the subject. An aggrieved person, he said, is never refused consent to sue. He or she is told whether the claim is considered a good one; if it is, the Gov- ernment tries to settle it out of court, and if it is not the plaintiff also benefits be- cause he knows on high legal authority that his chances of victory are dim.” The Winnipeg Free Press gives some in- teresting examples in which individuals with a grievance were in fact refused per- mission to sue the Crown. It argues that the procedure of petition of right belongs to the past, and that with the growth of pub- lic ownership and of the powers of Gov- ernment departments this ancient. preroga- tive of the Crown can with advantage be brought. to an end.

Uncle Sam is taking all sorts of precautions to ensure that these One-cent-n-ba: potatoes aren't consumed by Americans, no mutter how gravely in need of potatoes‘ they may be.

P. lrtlouoilio ill 0m: Con"; “not \ FEBRUARY 4. 1950 Sin-In order that Lila people of the Maritime-s may have knowledge of what is developing ivim regard to the Northum-benand Ferries service, we feel that. some facts should be placed before thcm llnll beg to make the following observ- ations. When the Wood. Island-Caribou ferry service was first suggested, the management. of the Canadian National Railways, like many others, did not. realize that trliltlc over the route would develop to the extent that it huS. The matter was brought abruptly to their attention, when they were ordered to reduce their rates ull truck traffic for fllrnl prullucl- at Borden to the level of the ruler. at Wood Islands; and since then, things have been developing very quickly. It is the duty of the R.ail.vaj' management to handle .l'flli\\'li)' affairs in the nlost efficient luau- her, and in such a way as to rc- taln old and develop new business. At. the same time, it is the duty of the public to see that their op- erntions are carried on in the bent interest of the communities tile;- SGTYC. In regard to the lliovaliicnl. cl auto, freight, and passenger traf- fic to and from Prince Edward Island, the business of this Pro- vlnce has aivirays been handicap- ped by restricted traffic, and the opening of the Wood islands- Caribou service was the flrsl. reul attempt to place Prince Edward Island in a position to trade freely with the adjoining Mainland. When writing the contract llllll Northumberland Ferries, the rates to be charged were mude a. part of the agreement, and this brought. n measure of relief to the farmers of the Province, especially those in the eastern section. The rapid development of the service encouraged the people ill the Western section to plan fur s similar service from West Cape. From the standpoint of the can- adian National Rnilvnrays, it would be considered good business: First - Tomi-event the opening of the West Point Ferry. Second _ To stop the traffic vln Wood Island. The first has apparently been accomplished, and unless our people take a very definite stand, the second is in sight. The bid from the Canadian National Railways to take over the Wood Islands service with the suggestion that. they will build a boat. fifty per cent. larger than the "Dunning", to curl-y traffic to coni- pete with themselves, over a route to which they have no rllil coll- nectlons at either terminal. should not be capable of misleading ally- one. The fighf. that was necessary ill order to get the concession at pru- sent available at Borden, sllouml convince anyone who xieeds con- vinclng, as to the. object. of such an offer, and everyone interested, to take a definite stand in this matter.
