The Rowell commission heard Pat Farnalle of the Alterta Association of Municipal Rural Districts argue paternalism harms a nation by dishing out “something for nothing.” He said state aid to fuel, shelter, clothing, and seed grain weakens society and that local governments face uneven duties without matching revenue. Farnalle urged highway aid and warned that Alberta’s secondary education could collapse under current funding, with rural districts carrying heavy debt but limited tax capacity.
