Income Tax Anomalies

It is HHIIUIIHCCLl from Ottawa that increases made after _luiie .24, 1940, in provincial txatiori 0lilt‘l'\\’l<c ilt-vluciihle from Federal Income Tax will llnl lu- 2lil<!l\'i'\l as ileductioits under the In- come \\‘ai~ llix .\ct. This statement again calls attention to the aiitiiiialies of the present Dom- lﬂlUll-l'l'l)\'lll(l1li financial system, analyzed in dc- tail ll’l the report of the Rowell-Sirois Commis- sion and also in the recent budget speech of Hon. I. L. Ital-tori in connection with the prﬂbléml hivolved in establishing the new rates cf the per- sonal incoiite tux. “The Dominion," Mr. Ral- ston explained, “is not the only taxing authority levying Stccply graduated rates on largo incomes. Every province in Canada, except Nova Scotia and New lil'llll.\".\'lCi\', now levies income takes and in certain cities taxpayers must pay munici- pal iticume taxes as well as provincial income taxes. Ontario, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island are the only provinces which allow, as a deduction from income, the tax paid to the Do- minion. .—\ll these authorities tax at different races. This nictinl that uttless we are prepared to be entirely arbitrary and unfair and ho set up schedules of rates ivhich when added to the rates imposed by other taxing authorities would be nothing short of fantastic, the Dominion must .. . . Jake cognizance of the highest schedule of rates effective in any province. This is but an insaancc of the chaotic situation in the fiscal sysocm of Canada . . . .which, I regret to say, lppears to be getting worse rather than better.“

The Rowoll-Sirois Report recommended that the provinces should withdraw altogether from aha field of porsonal income tax leaving it to a sole authority ——thc Dominion. This recom- mendation, however, was but part of a unitary

laa for mooring the financial problems of all an governments and of making it pos- sible that each government should be in a finan- cial position to carry out efficiently the func- tions appropriate so it. Thus, along with the pre- poscd transfer of personal income, succession and corporate income taxing powers to the Dom- lriioa went a transfer of rcsporisibilitim —for iin- smploymu-rt relief and provincial debts —and also of funds so a. number of the provinces by “riaitloaal adjustment grants.”

Reviewing the Commission's pha and the pro- bluns of war financing, the monthly review of In Bonk of Nova Scotia comes to the conclus- bl that k is not feasible so reorganize the whole

of Dominion-Provincial relations during war. To the extent that the relief problem is banned by increasing employment, the prov- hons wﬁl be relieved cf one of the chief charges which bow so heavily upon each. In addition, a E11 programme cf economy by the prov- siiculd help so alleviatl the situation But this review emphasizes that ric permanent solution wﬂ be found under the PPOOGK division of pow- ars and responsibilities, arid that if it is not con- sidered practicable to attack this problem in war- time, i should be one of the very first items on dis national agenda when peace comes again.

In the meantime, it is so be hoped that the provinces and ntunicipalities will keep within their present taxation schedules, and not impose additional burdens at a time when greatly in- creased Dominion taxation has become necessary for war purposes.

Plough Or Bo Fined

" Odd items of news an appearing than by! h English newspapers-as, for instance, mporis of the fining of farmers for failing to plough land under the direction of the officials of tlis Em- ergency Powers (Defence) Cultivation of Land Order. In one case, thus reported, a Lancashire farmer was fined £15 because ha had failed ts turn 9.38 acres of his 61 1-2 acres of grassland into ploughed land. In a second prosecution a fsw days lairr a fine of £20 was intposod for the same cffeitre, rho officials informing the court that they took “the gravest possible view of the case." \\'h<;n the defence identified the prosecu- tion with "dictatorship," the prosecuting lawyer said it was “to prevent dictatorship coming lc this country that oo per cent of the farmers arid others lizid voluntarily submitted to the regula- trons."

These arc small things in themselves; but they are very lzirgi- in their revelation of the deter- mination of tlu- pcople of Great Britain h sub- ordinate the guud old rule that a man may do what, he ivill ivith his oivn to the public needs.

Quicksilver In Canada

a1 sudden drvclopment of the production of quicksilver in (anada is one of the innumerable effects of the ivar. Quicksilver is an essential in the manufacture of munitions. There were known to be rlﬁpﬂﬁlf! in Canada, but than was scarcely any production because it could not well compete Will] the mines in Europe.

Canadians can boost the consismptlon of Oasi- ada’! farm products by eating the proper foods for health, according to Dr. F. F.

Said Dr. Tisdall: “Can- adian farms produce all the foods necessary for good health and if we ate all the home-grown foods in the quantities necessary for good health, it would result in a marked increase in con- sumption of Canadian agricultural products and a militant improvement in national prosperity -— an improvement which would be bound to rc- flect itself in the jobs of most of us." l-le pointed out that consumption ef eggs in Canada wan the highest in the world, and said that Can- adians also ah plenty of meat, in fact more than any other nation in the world, with the ox- cepticn of New Zealand and Australia.

Disloyalty Lightly Treated u... “Smdﬁmk-Wil... t»...

published a. long list of fines and jail terms imposed upon people seeking to sabotage Canada's um‘ effort.

I-n all cases the offenses were serious. In many of them enemy aliens “were involved. Illegal pos- session of firm arms and spread- lniv of subversive talk were the chief offenses. But. in all cases the jaillerms were mild. Often there ivus no jail berm but merely ll. small line.

In recent days there has been some evidence of stiffening in pun- isluiioitta met-ed out. For instance, tlirse cases have come to The Pnstfs attention during bho past. ivock:

An Edmonton magistrate viewed "Ill a most. serious light" seditious statements made by a man with a German name. He imposed a slx- moiifhs sentence.

In Saskatchewan, a 1mm of Ger- man dcscent who made statements prejudicial Lo discipline of the troops ivns sentenced to a year.

A Vancouver German woman, whose offences included possession of a vlttil map drawn by herself, brought. a group of wives of in- terned Germans to testify for her. Site ivas fined $500 and sentenced to t-wo years.

Those stiffer sentences are, how- ever, exceptions. Most. magistrates continue to leiy small fines or im- pose short. jail terms for efforts to stir up dissenslon or disloyalty 1n Canada. Here are some other (‘.1595 reported during the post. iverk.

An alien in Alberta with a Ger- nitin tuime was fined $20 for be- ing lii possession of a gun. An- ot-i.ei~ alien in Saskatchewan, la- ‘d a refugee fro-m the Sudeten- 1.11m, was found with a guzn and liiicd $1.

In Si. Thomas a young alien who itiude rtiitiarks disparaging to the lilnlpire and forecasting that Hitler would be over here soon was given

two nionbhs in jail.

Out in British Columbia two men who Illlldt" seditious remarks were fined $25 apiece and given a stern reprimand. Another offender, not an alien, got. 60 days.

A man lii Saskatchewan who shouted Hell Hitler, gave the Nazi salute and made dangerous state- ments, was fined $25.

Canada Ls treating disloyal per- sons and snboteurs too lightly. Our Fifth Column ought. to be stamped out before the enemy reaches our shores.

National safety demands much more drastic punishment. for those offcitdlng auairist the Defense of Canada Regulations, particularly against, foreigners and even more particularly against aliens of enemy origin.

The Roving M. P.’S

Forty-six members of Parliament, under the guidance of Gordon Is- nor, M. P., will visit Halifax on Sunday f0 inspect. nu al and civil port facilities. Lt thos who are to make the trlp from Ottawa treat. the nfftilr as a junket, s. holiday from Parliament at public expense, the project, will fall utterly. If any cf them consider the project in such a spirit the should remain ln the ciipltul. ut lf the mem- bers come to Nova Scotla with their eyes open. willing to be shown what. ls happening down on the Atlantic coast. the undertaking can accom- plish a great deal of good.

The group will consist of mem- bers from all parts of Canada, the news story says, and a. first-hand lnspoction of coastal activity should be illuminating to many who have never before seen salt water.

‘They will discover that the At- lantic coast area ls really s part or the war zone; that Nova Scotla la of more importance to Canada than tho men at Ottawa some- times admit; and that, Nova Sculls. is of especial importance 6o the nation 1n time of war. Those who have perception and fairness will return to the capital with a new understanding of Nova Scottish position. They may discover, too, that war activities ln this area could be more efficiently prosecut- ed if there were more local con- trol. rather than delayed control from Ottawa by freshwater of- ficials. They might even apply that lesson tic some of our peacetime activities.

If some or these antileivomssits of better understanding can result from the trip of 46 members of Parllnmenl. to the seaboard, let there be many mon such trips. Bring them all down here!

France May Be l Hungry

(Vancouver Province)

The Hench ministry of agricul- ture and supply has announced that tho government at; Vichy has decided to demoblllze all farmers. All French soldiers are to be de- mobilized, under the armistice ternts, but the men from the farms, apparently, are to go home first. France needs them there.

France needs them there to pro- duce food for the coming winter but it ls a question if they are not. going home too late. Mid-July is hardly early enough to plant crops that. will mature before winter. And for France the coming ivin- ter ls going to be a desperately hard one,

General Franco Crows .

(Halifax Chronicle)

If Signor Mussolini acts like a Jackal, General Franco shoivs the manners of a. bantnm, He is one of the assorted menagerlc who sound off defiantly as Herr Hitler fakes more and more of Europe with his mighty war machine. Ani- bitious ones everywhere are tnking advantage of Great Britainls pre- occupation witli the enemy, and of France's collapse. Italy, Japan, Hiuigary, and now Spain, show tui- iisual boldness and prepare to make the most, 0f ivorld upheaval.

Without the zissistnitce of Ger- muity and Italy, General Franco would be a singularly uniiriporl- out. figure. But. by curryirig favor of those two countries at a Lime when they enjoy a temporary do- rnlnation of the continent, General Franco is able to crow and strut. g

in true bnntum styie.

He talks about his mission of s restoring Gibraltar to Spain, ex- :- panslon in Africa, and conserving national unity. The first obstacle to his plans ls that Great. Britain holds Gibraltar and lins no in- tention of giving it. up.

There are those who declare, airily, that the British camiot. hold “Glb" because nlr ivrirftire has overcome the defensive system :" there established. That Ls u» if glib a statement. Wiir from the air has made a great diffvittiiicc, to be sure, but Gibraltar ls still far from untenable. The great. rock is honeycombed ivith defence ivorks, at a depth which bctnbs couid not I penetrate. Its big guns and supple- mentary defcnccs would stand off heavy attacks front the sen and make it irell nigh landing parties to tress.
