How complex is the problem con

building the modern car can be better

economy of operation is very largely
dependent on such an apparently in

SIR RICHARD MCBRIDE

On June 1, 1903, Sir Richard Nc
Bride, then without his title, was
called upon to farm a governmen
and accept the task of administering
that government in British Columbia.
The new administration was compos-
ed entirely of Conservatives. From
that time on, Sir Richard and the
Conservative party had continuous
power in. the province. That was sew
enteen years ago and it is hardly to
be supposed that such an anniversary
would be allowed to pass unobserv-
ed. Sir Richard, whose strong hand
was prominent through the tedious
years of that young government is a
native of Westminster and there his
early political battles were fought.
New Westminster, irrespective of poll
tics, is proud of Sir Richard and it
was his successes up to that time
which caused the big celebration to
be given in New Westminster in 1913.
1t is perhaps not necessary TO re-
count the political history of British
Columbia, previous to the accession
to power of the Mcbride government
Suffice it to say that under the non
party form of administration i, in
force matters had gone from bad to
worse. In the latter years, govern
ment had succeeded government, only
