Savings Bonds _ Same.as those in B.C. 3 If imitating is the highest form of flattery, than the government of B.C. should be flattered by a recent announce- ment made by the provincial treasurer of CCF-governed Saskatchewan. The provincial treasurer of that pro- vince, Woodrow 'S. Lloyd, has announced that his government will issue Saskatche-. wan savings bonds for sale to citizens of the province in estimated amounts of $4 million to $5 million annually, with the first sale to Start during the first half of 1961. ~ The bonds bese a striking resem- blance to the parity development ‘bonds issued by the Premer of this provinée for Medical Expenses: And .a ‘Disaster’ - The principle that medical such gover -created a Pacific Great Eastern Railway and the B.C. Power Commission, ; The Saskatchewan bonds will carry an interest rate ‘slightly: -above the’ rate prevailing on government of Canada sav- ings bonds. They will be redeemable at par at any time and may be redeemed at a premium if they: are held to maturity. Interest payments will be made annually by cheque. Mr. Lioyd said the purpose of the savings ‘bonds is two-fold. They will pro- |. vide the people of Saskatchewan with a bond in which they can invest their sav- ings without taking the ordinary risk of investment and at the same time the bond will ensure their Savings will he invested vin their own province, The bonds will also provide the gov- ernment of Saskatchewan with an addi- tional source of funds with which to fin- ance investment in,the Saskatchewan Pow- er Corporation, Saskatchewan Government ;, Tel , and other activities, said Mr. beyond a certain level of i income constitute a “disaster” and hence should be at least partly a responsibility ‘of the state is ak ready written into our income tax laws. If that principle were expanded to make available genuine Security against financial distress caused by medical bills, any need.for.a compulsory state insurance Po would disappear: ~~ Winnipeg Free Tress i Lloyd. « ' These, then, are much the same -pur- poses for which Premier Bennett issued his bonds and it is heartening. to see an- other province willing to do the same thing. We hope that the citizens of Sask- atchewaii_ will. take as active an intorest in their $4 million and "$5 million issues as the residents of B.C. did in the $36 million and $25 million i issues here. What's the Explanation? Elsewhere in this Paper appears’ a letter to’ the editor re-printed from the Grand Forks Gazette. The letter, written by a Mr. Bill Plot- . hikoff, tells of being awakend at 7.30 a.m. the morning: of Jan. 1 and being told _ “that if we wantell to save any of our ’ belongings from being: burned: we woula have to take them out of a building that was all set to be burned down . . . The people who set the fire stood by in the nude flouting law and. decent order: They were taken into -town and allowed to’ go scot free. Please, - ‘someone, tell us how hee, Industry. Compete - Peterson tells Mine Mill G B.Ovs new minister of labor, Leslie - Peterson,.. made* his first. major . labor spech last Week in. Vancouver. It was pre seited before the annual convention of ’. the International Union of Mine,-Mill and | .- Smelter Workers, a responsible union to which many Castlegar and District resi- dents belong. Mr. Peterson told. the ionists at these things can happen in Canada in 19612” "If we are to infer from this iett&r that Mr. Plotnikoff and his, family’ stood” by, 1 while the dists set the fire and then indicated their willing- ness. to testify in a court of law that cer- tain persons set the fire, and yet the au- thorities still allowed the terrorists “to go scot free,”. then Mr. Plotnikoff’s question of just what is happening in Canada in 1961 is indeed pertinent and the author- ities oyer in the Boundary country should provide an answer, matter of public concern, .the question immediately arises what ‘role should::the]- government play in the collective bargain- ing processes? “It would be ‘prematuye « on my part to suggest any exhaustive answer to this} - ' question.” 1 But Mr. Peterson said sound labor their convention that he wanted: it clearly . anderstood that there must be free com- petition between labor and industry just as there is in the other parts of the eco- nomy. This implied, he said, the right of - fabor to strike, of management to lock out, and ofboth to negotiate. Collective bargaining meant cooperation as well as competition. He went on: “But competition or lack of proper co-operation between the parties may lead to a situation where the individ- aal worker or the public in Seneral is not dealt with justly or fairly. “Since this may very readily be a t relations require both sides to work for competitive quality and cost. He continued: “I am firmly of the opinion that there ‘should be as little gov- ernment interference as is compatible with the public welfare. c “Government's sole interest should be that of Listiens the wie and ithe in- the id ani not acting as the adeocats of either work- ers or employers.” ° If the government remained impartial, SAL either party would be more likely to ap- proach the other in a A spirit of equality and 0- operation. i “CASTLEGAR NEWS% Published.
