E&litor, West Van. News. Dear Sir: From figures before me I gather that more than 60 per cent. of (Vest Vancouver's col- lected taxes this year are re- quired for our schools. thus leaving less than one-half to meet expenses for interest and sinking fund, ferries, roads, bridges, etc. No progressive man or woman wishes to limit educational facil- ities, but neither does any pro- gressive man or woman wish to limit land development -- which is what is occurring right nnw- and as a result we have the con- comitant unemployment. The question arises as to whether we can give the educa- tion required and at the same time relieve the laml of its un- just and enormous burden. On page 298 of the Educa- tional Survey we have the fol- lowing recommendation: "That a tax of not less than one per cent. be levipd on thc income nnt nnw tnxeci, of c-rcrc male nnd female in Britis'1 Col- umbia, and that in the esse nf wage-earners or workers on sal- ary this tax be collected by the employer, as is nnw done in the case of the Workmen's Com- pensation Tax." It is pointed nut that this tax would be collected from young people who have already bene- fited by our schools, viz., stenog- raphers, bank clerks, teachers, nurses, etc., and who are, at present, in a majority of cases, paying no tsx whatever. On page 291 we read: "Place the burden of school support where it belongs--on the shoulders of all whn directly or indirectly profit from educa- tion. "An income tax yielding two million dollars woul&l, with wants recommen&le&l, almost or quite pay teachers'alaries in full, an&I leave local boards to tax real property only for mainten- ance of buildings and incidentnl expenses." After 8 careful perusal of the above report, one comes to the conclusion that it would be good business tn place the following questionnaire before each can&li- date for office in the coming municipal elections: "Are you pruepared to do pro- pagan&la work to imlucc the pro- vincial government to adopt an&I put in force the financial report of the Educational Survey?" As pointc:I nut above, this coul&i be made tn almost cut the municipal taxes bv 60 per cent.' fcw days ago I'rcmicr Oliver turned down 0 dclegatinn from the U. B. C. N. on the above with the remark that they must get propagnmla work &lnno before his government wnul&l consider it. Thanking you, I am, Yours respectfully, L. LANIlERT. I.eyland play Be Candidnte December 14th, 1926. E&litnr, (Vest Van. News. Dear Sir: You ha;c stntpd that many conflicting rumors were curretl(4 with regard tn prospective can- didates for the 1927 council. It would seem that the time has now arrived when the nir shouI&l be clearp:I on this subject and that the ratcpayers are entitled to have definite information as to the names of thnc&c whn will seek municipal honors. If pros- pective candidates definitely ad- vise the public in advance as to their intentions, reasonable time is then given for sspirnnts to bp cnnsiderecl on their merits anti for an intelligent vote to be cast. Eleventh - h o u r nnminations sometimes lead to results which the citizens are loath to accept. The writer has been nake&I by many responsible men to put his name fomvsrd as a candidate for the reeveship, the present reeve having announce&I that he does not seek re-election. After giv- ing the matter serious thought. and in considering the best in- terests of the municipality as a whole, it is not my intention to be a candidate for the repveship providing any of the three cx- roevcs will consent tn be nnmln. ated for the office. Thc names in mind are Messrs. George Hay, S. Gisby aml V. V. Vinson, nll of whom are responsible citizens, having the qualities of integrity ~ experience and proven ability. and for whom the citizens havy the highest rcgar&l. Should it unfortunately hap- pen that none of those mentioned will consent tn seek election fnr the rccveship by the en&i of the month, when a sitting councillor must resign, I woulcl be willinif to place my name forward for nomination, leaving the flnnl de- cision to thc wishes nf the elec- %urn. I trust, however, that &le- vplopmcnts will prove that such actinn will nnt be necessnry. Yours truly J. B. I.EYLAND. "The Best Procurable" That's what you get when vou deal here.
