ALTERNATIVE TO MARKETING SCHEME PROPOSED BY DEALERS

An alternative in the present Potato Marketing scheme was pro- posed last night by the Potato Dealers Association at a meeting held in summerside. The sugges- mm was advanced in the event W: the November 10 pieblscte iniitmted the growers did not wish .-nntinuance of the present Board.

The alternative proposes incor- poration of the Potato Dealers Assnclat-ion and the formation of . Province-wide organization of the growers. It is further pro- mo-ri that a new Potato Board for (hp Province be formed from the m-ruiives of both groups with the gvnucrs providing the larger num- wit" The new Board would have ,-murr to decide who might sell and purchase in quantity lots; 1, necessary funds: lsue ,-; market report. arrange for Fliiwglotl and other necemary

The proposed alternative was "...nerl by Mr. R. L. Burge. prea- . of the P.E.I. Potato Dealers A r.a'l0n, speaking to an aud- .m.-:- of upwards of 100 persons at A meeting in Summerside.

But Arthur Mackae was still at the top with the Duchess when the jutlge, finally nodded that it was all over.

Record Vole For Off-year in U. S.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Tabuia. tion.-it show the vote in Tuesday's elections set a record for off-year voting. With many votes still to be counted. an Associated Press sur- vey Wednesday showed 44,682,128 ballots had been cast.

The previous nff-year record vote came four years ago in 1950 when 40..15'.D22 votes were cast.

The AP survey included returns from all 48 states. most of them incomplete. In California. for in- stance. only 55 per cent of the total vote had been counted.

A vote of 45,000,000 had been forecast for this year's election. if was certain that figure would be passed by a sizable margin.

MONTREAL (CP) - Lindbergh had the sky to himself over the North Atlantic in 1027. but things have changed since then.

However. he said. the terms of any tax settlement with Quebec first will be referred to the pre- miers of the,other nine provinces. He hoped to have something to present to the premiers before the end of the year and indicated that a federal - provincial conference likely will be held for that pur- pose.

TO STUDY AGREEMENT

He said he does not want to have an agreement with Quebec pres- ented to the other provinces as a "fait accompli" without giving them an opportunity to study it.

Such a conference likely would end with an adjournment pending a later full-dress conference on federal-provincial fiscal relations before the present tax agreements with the nine provinces-all but Quebec-expire at the end of 1950.

Mr. Duplessis' proposals, re- ceived by letier Tuesday and studied by the cabinet, stemmed from the Oct. 5 meeting in Mont- real between himself and Mr. St, Laurent to discuss their govern- ments' tax dispute.

TAX ISSUE

The main issue centred on Que- bec's provincial income tax. im- posed last spring, of about 15 per cent of federal collections in the province.

The federal government rejected Quebec's bid that provincial tax- payers should be permitted in cle- duct the full amount of the provin- cial iax from their federal tax payments. Federal law permits a maximum of five per cent of fed- oral payments to be deducted in respect of provincial taxes.

The other nine provinces have

Mr. St. Laurent said Wednesday that federal tax experts will work out what effect Mr. Duplcssis' proposals would have on tax rev- enues. The experts would draft an alternative to the current tax- rentil agreements for Quebec.

However. the alternative would be offered to the other provinces if they wished to change their present lax agreements on an in- terim basis for the remainder of their five-year period.

Mr. St. Laurent noted that both the current tax agreements and the Quebec income tax law expirc at the end of 1956.
