Gov't Must Keep the Faith With Local Taxpayers

Area school trustees—as quoted elsewhere in this pap-

B.

and Peace river projects from school taxes.

As is detailed on our front page, correspondence enter-
ed into with both the Authority and department of educa-
tion officials had led the boards concerned to expect that
these projects would be placed on the assessment rolls.

i This newspaper, as a matter of possible interest,
doesn't agree that any B.C. Hydro installations anywhere in
this province should be taxed, strictly as a matter of prin-

ciple. We don't believe users of electricity

in the interior

should subsidize those who ride B.C. Hydro-owned buses in
Vancouver nor do we believe that the Authority should pay
school taxes from rates levied for electricity. Rather, school
taxes should be school taxes and electrical rates should be
electric

But this does not alter the fact that written commit.

in a reason-

that B.C. Hydro dams would be taxable for education pur-
OSes.

F We are in complete agreement with the new aim of

the school trustees and their association: to obtain—from

the government—special grants in lieu of taxes as com-
nsation.

It is only right under the circumstances. .

The taxpayers of-the school districts concerned have
educated the children of dam employees (here in. school

ably impartial way, with both economic and social factors
in clear view of both parties.

But if a strike occurred, and dragged on long enough
for the government to decide it was necessary, in the
public interest, to stop it, the cabinet would invoke the
compulsory arbitration clause. Both labor and management
would be ordered to resume operations while the me-
diation is studied the and recommended
a settlement. The commission’s proposal would be binding,
unless both labor and management agreed to resume their
own negotiations inst

The danger, of course, is that labor or management
would refuse the government’s order to return to work, or
to accept the mediated settlement. Defiance of the law
on this scale would verge on anarchy, and it is a danger
that the government must obviously keep in mind.

But it is bard to escape the conclusion that both sides | C73

in the interior dispute, whatever they might say in public,
would really welcome that sort of intervention at
point. It would save both of them the embarrassment of
backing away at the same time that it brought an end to
the hardship both are enduring:
