It is customary at this season of the year to sound the usual warning- about carelessness with fire in the forests. People read it, take heed more or less, yet some carelessness goes on year after year. Fires break out, the taxpayer's money is spent in suppressing these out-breaks, your growth timber is destroyed. The tax-payer suffers in the loss of revenue through government royalalties on timber thus destroyed—the general public suffers through the loss of money put in circulation by the timber and allied industries. This season more than usual warning is given. The dominion government weather bureau reports winter precipitation was 16 inches less than in average years. This means a greater fire hazard than we have had for many a long year—it means that the situation is serious—that every right thinking citien must take heed. j The prevention of forest fires in i British Columbia this season is more than a forest branch problem, more than a government problem, more than a question for the timber industry. It is a social problem which goes deep into the fibres of everyday life, which affects every man, woman and child in B. C. And because it is a social problem, it can best be met by the public itself. During the past few years agencies have been at work throughout the province teaching the fundamentals of forest protection. The ultimate success of this laudable undertaking rests upon individual citizens. It is up to every individual to become forest conscious, to think and CHANGES IN DOMINION ELECTIONS PROCEDURE. Hon. Lucien Cannon, solicitor-gener al, in presenting the bill to amend the Dominion Elections Act, explained two important changes which it is propos ed to make in federal election procedure. One of these calls for th selection of various returning officers by the chief electoral officer for the Dominion. Under the present system the returning officers are appointed by the executive council, on the recommendation of the political organization which happens to be in power at the time the election is called. Under this system fitness of the appointee was often a secondary consideration to hi willingness to~advahce the interests ol his party, even to the extent of stealing a constituency. If under the change proposed the chief electoral officer is given a free hand in the selection of returning officers a marked advance will be made in election procedure, and in any event responsibility will attach to the official appointing for /any in-competency or irregularity ^resulting. The next important change is the recommendation that the federal lists shali.be compiled from the provincial lists. There is not sufficient difference in the federal and provincial franchises to warrant the compilation of separate lists, and as a matter of fact the system is employed to a con-siderale extent at present, the last revised list of provincial voters being taken as the basis for the federal list. In the rural districts the preparation of the voters' list for federal elections stands in need of some improvement, and since it is deemed necessary to have the lists in the larger centers printed there would seem to be no reason for departing from this practice in the case of the lists to be used in the rural districts. The solicitor-general says it is the intention, of the government to bring in 'the new procedure in the next general elections, but that in by-elections in the interim the existing procedure will govern. The Citizen regrets its suggestion Prince George should revert to the historic name of "Fort George" should rankle the wounds of C. P. Deykin. and raise his ire in the manner suggested in his communication \of protest which, apepars in this issue. The Citizen would like to assure Mr. Deykin it has no desire to place "Fort George" on the chopping block, and if the intention of filching the name of "Fort George" is laid, it might be justified on the ground that the existing community bearing the name, has no further use for it and that to be perpetuated the name, should be grafted upon a more vigorous stock.
