Vol. IX HOLLYBURN P.O., WEST VANCOUVER. B.C., ^THURSOAY, MARCH 2ht, IMS No. 47 % ? MR. BRADSHAW»S REPORT HOLLYBURN HALL CONSERVATIVE MEETING COMING EV EN l^ The cheerful and reckless manner in which we Canadians went into debt during the boom years previous to 1914 plus our war debts is chiefly responsible for the taxationour war aeota la miiviiy *^Dtwiio*wiu lu* mu wa» i/jluii and inter­ est, the payment of which is so surely bringing our civilization to the brink of ruin. Between 1901 and 1914 the West was opened up, immigra­ tion poured into the prairies, and its needs made our factories busy and our business men optimistic. New railway exten» siorls, new- factories, new buSindsses, even new banks sprang into existence, all on^borrowed capital. Moreover, because land was the most plentiful thing Canada possessed, the real estate boom became hectic and the speculation in it enormous and well nigh universal amongst us individually.' • ' " ' Feeling, ^s we did, th a t Canada was an Eldorado^ the chief object of our lives wa!s to develop and build things, and, as always happens in boom days^ the expense side of the ledger was given little thought. "Political g raft was expected and con­ doned, chiefly on the score of being a little extravagance we could alfojd. Then the W ar came and we again had to borrow further large sums of money.

Cards And now we are faced with the problem, of payment. ■ To put it in a nutshell, th e parable of the Prodigal Son has been re-enacted in,us as a nation, for we have wasted our substance in riotous living. But indications point to a determination on our part not to eat thfe husks, which is unfortunate, because the parable contains a great fundamental truth. Admitting th a t there was much crookedness-and g raft in high places.during the bbom as well.as a Niagara^like water­ ing of many stocks, these dO not represent the great body of the debt we as a nation have piled up personally, municipally, provincially, and federally.' One of the indications* we have referred to above is the criticism of Mr. Bradshaw, because his report ^suggests few, if any, new sources of revenue. In other words, we still want to continue in the old spendtjhrift way. We refuse, if it is a t "all possible, to cu t expenses. ■ ' • ' • Look at the enthusiasm with which every scheme,'"how­ ever hairbrained, is received, which promises a continuance of our present extravagances! Most certainly our business and political life m ust be thoroughly cleansed, preferably with gaol sentences, if it iV'fo'lbe o f ; ' ^ " p je M that will not absolve us from our jdebts," an d r until they are paid, we need not ex j^ct the Utopia to arrive which we feel should be ours now. This brings us to the m atter of the interest on the Van-, couver bonds, which is of vital concern to West Vancouver, because our msunicipality cannot escape the backwash of what-' ever course Vancouver may decide to take.
