The Legislature of Alberta has distinguished itself by enacting the most drastic reform measures ever seen in Canada. Supported by a very large body of public opinion, it has reduced debts, both public and private, has attempted to take several matters out of the hands of the Courts, and has, so far as legal enactment could do so, substituted the people's own credit—Social Credit—for the financial credit which has hitherto been relied on. It is thought that this substitution is possible and might be complete. Whether or not this belief is sound, time only can tell. The present, however, offers a good opportunity to survey the situation in the light of the circumstances of the province and the general characteristics of its people.
