‘Dear Editor:
In 1970, the late W.A.C.
Bennett, who was at the time
“Premier and Finance
Minister of our province, an-
“nounced toa wildly ap-
‘plauding legislature the first
“billion dollar budget in the
‘history of British Columbia.
_ =; Being only a humble, tax-
~ "payer, I could not understand

what these people, who were -

supposed te represent me,

‘ could find to cheer about in.

3 the news that we were coliec-
“tively” expected to produce

‘one thousand million dollars -

and hand iit over to a group
of people who seem to have

: no real concept of its value.

- Looking ‘back now, in the .

; ‘tight of today’s Nine Thou-
; Send. Milken, Dollar Budget,

it is clear to see that his suc-
cessors must look back on the
late Premier Bennett and his
efforts as .really small
potatoes. Now we have a
Finance Minister who iias
promised 10 obtain, by those
time-honoured methods of
extortion and coercion from
the two- and one-half million
or so residents of British Col-
umbia, an average amount
each of three thousand five
hundred dollars in the com-
ing year. Some will pay more,
seme a little less. Those who
are too young to have much

income, or maybe are not -#

government spending. If
there are, it would be nice if
they would show themselves.
It is all very well for politi-

cians to keep giving
themselves awards for
fighting alligators, but what
we really need is somebody
