With the city council voting 11-5 to investigate the pro- posal, the legislation committee will prepare an amendment to the # Winnipeg city charter for submission to the Manitoba legislature Wars may come and wars may go, and we seem to have very little we can do about it. But decent living, industry, kindness, payment of debts, willingness to pay fair prices--these qualities are stil] essential to empowering the city to engage in the business of "dealing in gaso- line, oil and petroleum products and generally to conduct the busi- ness of gasoline service stations where these products can be sold retail." Mayor Queen at last night's council meeting denounced the alleged practice of combines forcing up the price of gasoline beyond a reasonable level. The high price was not justified and if the city went into the business it would be in an effort to prevent high prices, he said. z $ * 2 . The iron gates guarding the portals of .University College| were torn down by S.P.S. men following their annual elections. The 8.P.S. men started parading around the campus, when part of the mob decided to march through University College, Two pro- fessors, sensing their intention, tried to stop them by closing the iron grill gates, but the engineering students tore them off at the hinges. Damage is slight, it was said. $$ 8° Compared with other years, the S.P.S. elections were quiet. No one was hurt and only one window was broken when, to signal the opening of the elections, the students fired off a small cannon, shattering one window in the Engineering Building. For a while the embryo engineers threatened to attack the medical students, their traditional enemies. But university police were on hand to bar their way and locked the doors of the Medical Building. LE I Jud 1 report of the To- good citizenship; and will do much to promote peace, . J Scrutiny of the Townsend Plan, which promises to give every person over 60 years of age, in the United States, $200 per month, has brought many interesting facts: There are 11,445,000 persons in the United States. To give each of these persons $200 per month ($2400 a year) would require a total expenditure of $27,468,000,000 per year, The total estimated income of the United States in 1934 was $50,189,000,000, If the pensions are deducted ($27,468,000,000) there will be left for the 114,797,000 non-pensioners the sum of $22,721,000,000, which would give each non-pensioner an income of $197, as compared with the income of $2400 for the pensioners. In lesser degree, the same comparisons may be made regarding the Abehart plan. ~~ The fact is that the burden on the workers is becoming too great. LE I J W. H.
