The power questicirt must not be dis- eussed as if it merely involved the intereets a Toronto and a few other munlcipalitles. is a question of vital moment to the province at large, and on its solution depends our industrial development and sue - ems through future generations. ;While every interest must be care- fully guarded and every Investor must be 'assured an abundant return com- Mensurate with his outlays and his enterprise, the problem must be solv- ed in the light of the larger issues thee dominate the interests of the public at large. We imported last year for home consumption 495,550 tons of bitumin- ous coal, arid 747,251 tons of coal dust, the total value being $8,849,529, with $2,462,992 additional for duty. The large iMportation may be regarded as virtually rectuired for -Ws pro- vince, an Neva Scotia supplies coal as fax.- west as Montreal, while the prairie country, the mountaine and the coat have an abundant supply. This coal' and the highways over which it must be carried have been made the private property of corpor- ations which levy on this province in accordance with their estimate of our endurance. In the white coal of Niagara and the numerous other wat- er powers distributed liberally through the Province we have a, -means of escape from 'this incubus. But if we allow it to be controlled by private, interests working through development companies, transmtssion companies and dismit tribution comtee they will naturally levy on uts, as the coal companies do now, accord- ing to their eatirnate of our endur- ance. t The demand for popular regulation in the public interest is not made le antagonism to the men of wealth and courage who have embarked in power development. They. ire en- titled to full consideration and to the honors and rewards* of a great enterprise. But there are etiii great- er and breeder interests demanding consideration, and these must be att Parr.ount. Energy for power, 'heat3 arid light must be distributed to the people of this province at prices based not on the endurance point of our various indurtries, but on the free- dom with which nature has bestow- ed this bounty. Cheap power is lin essential equipment in. the competi- tive struggle for industrial success. Nature has done her part in providing. an inexhaustible supply. It is our duty to see that economic blunders do not neutralize nature's generos- ity. The above is from the Toronto Globe. It is true, every word of it,. Indeed a great deal. more might be said along the same lines: Ontario, or the older sections of Ontario at any rate hae good cause to look forward with a very great deal of. •itxterest to the develOpment of the White, Coal resolirces, We are not favorably situated in respect of fuel. Our wood ie nearly exhausted, and the figerea above given by the Globe ishow the enormous extent to whi', p' we are indebted to the United States, a foreign country, for our fuel sup- plies. But this is not the worst of itt In respect, of their immense coal resources the. America.ns have Veen _ , foolishly reckless and they, as well I as we, are new reaping the conse- quences of their folly. The eoal areas have come under the control of , railway and other soulless corpora- tions who not only run the mines and the ralIwa.ys to suit themselves but , also rule ;the Governments and Leg- islatures of the United States to a very large extent. The coal consum- ers of the Milted States and Canada have td pay the penalty. . The coal and railway magnates tax their pa- trons to the utmost of their paying ability and serve them when and just as it suits them. Had the Amer- ican rulers kept proper- control over this great coal inheritance, the case would now be reverse& The people and not the coal barons Would be the theaters. The demand Ithat the Canadian authoritles do not' fall in- to a similar error and barter away their white coal inheritance" is; thektfore, timely and the eeeple of this country should sharply look after their interests in thin respect. There.is not the least doubtl but that' t4n a few ,years, probably" sooner than the most of us expect, electrical energy furnished from some of our roany great water powers, Will titre ash not only the power but the heat for older Ontario.. When that time comes we will be independent eat the Yankee monopolists if we look after and preserve our own 'rtghts. But, ta do this, it is not necessary that the municipalitien ttr even the Province Shaeld assume great bur - dent, to establish the requisite plants and carry out ' the required works. .All these yeatet powere now 'belong to the countryrt All that is faeces- . nary :therefore, Is for the Govern- ments and Parliaments to' properly safe guard them and private capital and enterprise will do the rest. The Government must retain firm control of the rates to be charged for any service rendered by the private cor- porations and also retain full con- trol of the regulation 9f supplies and any other requisite to secure to the people their rights and peevent an oppressive monopoly either by combination between companies or or -otherwise. All this can ea.sily be done and it must be done or the peo- ple will rue the day that they per- mitted these rights and privileges to be alienated thorn. them. The On- tario Government have made a good commencement if they keep on -and the Dominion Government have also declared the right policy. It remains far the people to keep a close watch on *their representatives and see that they do not deviate one iota front the right path. 'Eternal vigitence is the price of liberty in this case.
