 John Whitnah Leedy, of 10278 89th Street.

author of The proposed provincial banking law for the province of Alberta [1930?]. published in Edmonton by the author. 30 pages.

"Prepared for attachment to petition as provided by the Direct Legislation Act of the Province of Alberta asking a plebiscite on the question of whether or not this proposed banking act shall be enacted into law in the Province of Alberta."

(Internet Archives:


no newspaper mention of Leedy's 1930 petition has been found; no referendum on banking was held.

(but that Leedy was pushing in this way for that purpose fits the pattern.

(see Montopedia blog: Social Credit in Alberta)

As well, one reference (Golden Province?) says the 1930 election was a referendum on the creation of a publicly owned bank.

Aberhart and Social Credit

Hilly Hill later recalled that he worked with Aberhart to produce SC pamphlets in winter 1932/1933.


the pamphlets might be "Study group features," said to be produced 1932-1933 (Peel 5597)


copies are scarce but Bruce Peel Special Collection has no. 5 included in what is called "SC printed material".

the group is described as "Ephemeral information on the Social Credit movement founded by former Alberta Premier William Aberhart, circa 1934. "Study Group Feature No. 5" consists of academic material on the Social Credit System with handwritten notes, featuring "The Perfect Circle, the Blood Stream of the State." An unanswered questionnaire measuring agreement with the demand to increase the food quota and implement a clothing allowance has handwritten notes and doodles on the verso by Mr. Aberhart, dated Tuesday, February 5, and includes an illustration titled "Do it at once moment." Two of the newspaper clippings are articles titled "Chronicle Question Box" and consist of separated questions and answers on Social Credit, and the third is a photographic print of Aberhart."

Social Credit

The People of Alberta Demand that The Social Credit Government Abolish Poverty and Debt. [ca. 1938] 1 paper pamphlet [30.5x22cm]. 4 pages [unpaginated]

Pamphlet discussing the merits of Social Credit government policy in the province of Alberta, and the negative impact of the federal government, taxes, and banks on citizens. Sections include "The Tyranny of Finance and the Tragedy of Effort", "To Whom Does the Credit Belong?", and "Awakening".

"You are a Shareholder in the Province of Alberta - Assert Your Sovereignty - Demand that your Credit gives you Purchasing Power Freedom Security - Your Will is Law" (catalogue description from Peel Spec. Collection)

(Bruce Peel Special Collection -- PE002621)



Democracy Denied! Home of the First Social Credit Government in the World - Freedom! Stands for Security! Democracy! [ca. 1938]

Political pamphlet issued by the Bureau of Information and News [Edmonton, Alberta] regarding the political history and actions of the Alberta Social Credit Party.

"Three years of fight to give the people Freedom and Security still raging. Three years of Legislation to abolish Poverty and Distress ruled out by the Courts and the Ottawa Government. Three years telling Ottawa that Financial Dictatorship will not be tolerated but Ottawa says the Banks must be protected. Three years demanding the Will of the People is Supreme, but Ottawa says - Our Will shall over-rule the Will of the People. Freedom to Rule vs. Financial Dictatorship. Acts speak louder than words. Read for yourself and Judge."

List of Acts [Why Passed; What Happened; What It Would Have Done]:Credit of Alberta Regulation Act; Bank Taxation Act; Reduction and Settlement of Debt Act; Act to Ensure Publication of Accurate News and Information; Home Owners Security Act; Securities Tax Act - 1938; and Credit of Alberta Regulation Act - 1937 Amendment

As a CCF candidate, Roper won the by-election. His success helped cause Aberhart and the SC leadership to dislike PR, apparently. Roper was re-elected in 1944, 1948 and 1952. After PR was dropped in Edmonton in 1956, no CCF or NDP MLA was elected in Edmonton until 1982.
