Vancouver has felt this perhaps more
than any other of the communities in
that region.
But, according to this authority, the
condition is no more than a reaction from
excessive speculation in land. The peo-
pie who live in those parts and who
were inspired by enthusiasm as they
forecast their future began land specu-
lations wholly in good faith, believing
that the great emigration from the United
States to Canada would continue in vol
ume, and that the completion of the
Grand Trunk railroad to the Pacific coast
would greatly stimulate emigration from
this country, and thereby Canadian de-
velopment. But these people made the
mistake by discounting the future too
rapidly. Their present condition will find
abundant precedent in the land specua-
tions which used to occur in many parts
of the remote west. A few years of rest,
of awaiting normal development, will
bring about a new and healthy reaction,
and it is for this reason that the experi-
enced railway managers of Canada do
not regard with any great apprehension
the depression which they now frankly
admit does prevail.

SOCIALIST COMMISSIONERS
ELIMINATES WASTE AND
INCREASES WAGES.

On entering office, IL was found by
Salter that the deputy electrician,
who is, according to the city charter
weights and measure inspector, never
showed up ut the city hall except on
pay day Absolutely no inspection of
the wiring of new buildings was made.
Contractors we're ignoring the cleo
trical ordinances OF the city, and do
ing work that endangered life and
property.
Comrade Salter wrote the Electrical
Workers Union to recommend one OF
their members for deputy inspector.
The union responded by recommend
ing one OF the best qualified inside
wiremen in the city. In the mean
time the negligent inspector was laid
off, thereby saving the city that much
salary, for which no return was ever
given.
This act received the highest com
mendation from contractors, property
owners, insurance men, and men en-
ployed in electrical wiring.
The state insurance inspector ex-
pressed his hearty approval of Salter's
action in this matter. And now in
stead OF the city being out SIS per
month, the fees paid into the treas
urer's office as a result OF the enforce
ment OF the electrical ordinances
cover about three-fourths of the in
spector's salary, which has been
raised to 500 per month.
The city Is the gamer by about $35
per month.

MORE GOOD WORK BY OUR
SOCIALIST COMMISSIONER

Organizers for the Transfers Union
were never able to get the city team
sters into the union, owing to the at
titude of their boss and supterindent-
ent on union labor. Comrade Salter
is union man, being secretary-treas-
urer of the International Teachers
Union and told the city teamsters' his
attitude on unionism with the result
that they now wear the union button.
Through the firm stand taken by
Mr.. Salter on the Bartenders' License
Ordinance, which entailed tax of
SIS per year on every bartender in
the city, was repealed. Salter held
that as the bartenders were wage
workers and were organized into a
workers union, the ordinance was I'M
just and entirely uncalled for.

SOCIALIST INSPECTOR UNEARTHs
FRAUD.

The new sewer inspector appointed
by Commissioner Salter has discover
ed that the contractors who put in the
Trunk sewer last summer have left
out at least fifteen flush tanks. Not
only is the health OF the city endan-
gered by this, but they will have to
be put in at a great cost to the city.
The man who had the Job previous to
the present Socialist inspector must
have known of this fraud, but was
most likely afraid to squeal because

SOCIALISTS ARE
PRACTICABLE

Comrade Hansen, who for years was
in the government employ caring for
and looking to the transportation OF
horses to the Philippine Islands, was
given charge of the Everett city barn.
His first act was to construct another
type OF manger that will eliminate a
20 per cent waste Of hay that has
been going on for years. Comrade
Salter says the day OF guess work is
past and an era of scientific adoption
OF natural forces to human needs has
begun.
This is the principle that Salter
follows throughout in his manage
ment OF the department Of public
works, OF which he is the head. Even
our capitalist enemies admit the effic-
iency Of the Socialist controlled de-
partnsnt

DIFFERENTLY.
AN EXAMPLE IN POINT.
The Old Way.

The Old Way.
The following case is an illustration
Of the principle upon which the street
department was conducted under the
old reigns. The road to the golf links
had a man employed on it steadily,
who, so far as Salter could see, sim
ply kept pebbles out of the road for
the benefit Of speeders on their way
to the County Club house.
This did not look just right. to Sal
ter, so the man was taken off the job,
and the money used to improve con-
ditions in the working class districts,
or for the people as whole.
Constructive Work.
Several bridges across gulches in
the city were in such a stage of decay
that only a miracle kept them from
giving way, and embroiling the city
in damage suits. These bridges have
been repaired and made thoroughly
safe. Residents who have never been
given any consideration before, be-
cause of their financial circumstances,
and who have walked through the
mud for years, are now travelling over
temporary walks built from the best
material taken from the repaired
bridges.

STRENGTH OF IDEALS.

Nothing is so practical as the ideal
The ideal is the basis Of the practi-
cal. the prophecy of the practical, the
creator of the practical. The ideal has
nodded the world from barbasism to
standardization and will mold it to a
civilization worthy Of the name. 1t is
the power that molds men and women
and institutions and nations, as a pot
ter molds his clay. Every book and
every nation was an ideal before it
was fact, and became . fact be-
cause Of the creative power Of the
ideal.-Prof. Frank Parsons.
