The reference of the telephone bmsi- ness of Manitoba--of all the utilities now owned by the province--to 4 com- mission, or the proposal to that ef- fect, is a decided blow to public ownership. The Manitoba govern ment has been unfortunate in its management of this enterprise. The Bell Telephone Company was not as considerate of the people, or of their interests, when they had monopoly of the telephone business, as they might have been One recalls some of the earlier confliats in On- tario with the independent lines to which it deni connections. One re- calls, also, the manner in which the company trampled on municipal rights when, acting under a federal charter, it' undertook to carry Ms lines through the towns and cities and dis- figured the streets. The Roblin government was plauded when, some years ago, it nounced it would take over telephone business and manage it der provincial auspices. It paid much for the lines it acquired. That was apparent at the time. It is more apparent now. It made a sweep- ing reduction fn rates.

This means a board Of control, so far as the public finances are concerned. In the expenditure of the British empire great care is exercised, and dating from the days of Mr. Gladstone an auditor-general and his staff have guarded against any improper or un- authorized disbursements. The board of estimates is the later contrivance of men, who have experience in the finance department, to complete the supervision of = the national accounts and guarantee to the people the wise and judicious use of their money. The committee corresponds, in some degree, with the board of control, which represents the administrative ranch of the civic government. These boards of control really manage the people's business. Councils, where they exist, are legislative in their of control rather than supervise their work. The board of estimates is ap- proved by many members of the British commons.

The passing of the estimates in our commons is a wearisome procedure. These 'estimates are prepared by the different departments of government. It may be assumed that they are carefully considered. The minor de tails are known only to the ministers. On.thé larger items the government may have been consulted, and its exeept what it may hear, or extract during. a. discussion of the programme. The* process of discussing and passing the items is trying in thé extreme. The board of estimates may be an improvement upon the house in com- mittee. All depends. upon the mem- bership.

Phe fishing for grievances and scandals ness methods would be brought to bear on business proceedings. Canada can afford to copy from the mother country in several respects, and the board of estimates would be an ex- cellent thing. ihe A COMMISSION The mayor wants a referendum next annual the is year in connection with the appeal to the electors, and for purpose ascertaining what thought of the one year and three year terms. He seems to associate the term--the change in the manner of election so that only a third of the members have to give an count of their stewardship--with the indifference of the ratepayers towards the council. So he wants them 'asked of acs "|eertain questions.
