Rails Favored
(Prince George Citizen)

(Prince George Cltlzen)
 In another week-upon his return from Ottawa Premier John Hart may make statement to an anxious British Columbia the report that the sale of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to American interests is imminent.
 One pioneer of Prince George has summed up the feeling here with the remark, well guess can wait little longer; we've waited good many years now for the PGE to come here"
 The people of this country patient and the phrase, they're going to push the PGE through to Prince" no longer causes wild excitement here
 However they are agreed that the completion of the PGE from Vancouver to Prince George and the railroads extension to Alaska is feasible and highly desirable scheme And that is not a selfish view. They do not take this stand because Prince George would be the most important interior point on the railway No It is because they know that the logical route for railway motor vehicle road is Route B. the Rocky Mountain Trench route.
 Because of the lack of gasoline and tires, the inn portance of road decreases alongside that of rail- for it not require rubber tires It does not re- qure gasoline And it does carry bigger loads than trucks and the line would through country known to contain large deposits of coal and ore.
 One argument against railroad building is the problem of getting steel. However Canadian and American authorities have large caches of steel rails spotted in many iepos all this continent. Steel is not problem.
 The Rocky Mountain Trench is level, has gravel foundation has insurmounable grades, and can be easily cleared of light trees.
 Should the sale turn out to be true it will be up to the leading organizations of this city to make it known to authorities and all concerned that are eager to forward this all-mportant project No eff fort can be spared

 Like all other fanatics, the sponsors of prohbi- ton deal only in extremes, see only extremes and to impose their own extremist conceptions upon the majority who fortunately live by the sensible mean in most matters.
 The history of prohibition should have convinced, and did convince most reasonable persons that such legislation appalling piece of stupid extrem- ism whose perncious effects were infinitely worse than the evils which it attempted in vain, to correct.
 The consumption of alcoholic beverages like ev- cry other human activity is subject to abuses and excesses. Most of these be controlled by wise regulation. They cannot be controlled by fanatical laws. The record clear for those who wish make the comparison
