-5. INGOME TAXES

Continued from page 1 a heavier tax load in 1052 than they did in 1951. I The 20-per-cent defence surtax announced in the' last budget has been incorporated into a new basic personal income-tax schedule. There is a better break for the taxpayer with medical bills which he can deduct from his taxable in- come. The ceilings on the amounts deductible are raised to 81.500 from 3750 for single persons, to 32,000 from 31.000 for married and to 3500 frpm 3250 for each dependent The four-per-cent floor on medical bills remains.

Business Taxes Unchanged

Business taxes, in the main. are unchanged.

Nor is' there any change in con- sumer-credit regulations.

Mr. Abbott. delivering his 16.000- word budget speech before an in- tent chamber and thronged public galleries. announced that he is budgeting for a surplus of 39.000.- 000. based on revenues of 34.279.- 000.000 and expenditures of 34,270,- 000,000.

Taking a peek into the fax fut.- ure. he warned the taxpayers not to expect much by way -of lower taxes next year t"unleas conditions at home exceed even my generous expectations and unless the cloud: that overhang the international scene lift more rapidly."

He sliced the taxes on soft drinks. cutting the special excise tax on pop to 15 per cent from 30 and the levy on carbonic acid to 23 cents a pound from 50,,but offic- fais said they think that hard- pressed manufacturers will absorb the benefit. The annual revenue loss here is 311,000 000.

Revenue lanes

In reducing the clgaret tax, he acknowledged that the rate ap- pears to have reached the point of diminishing return. Revenue from cigareis went down Il.000.000 last year. The tax on raw leaf tobacco was cut by three-quarters of a cent an ounce. Annual revenue loss from these reductions: ll0.000000.

Besides motor cars, the reduced special excise tax affects tires and tubes. cameras and photo equip- ment. cigars. electrical appliances. motorcycles. radios and tubes. sporting equipment. smokers' ac- cessories. luggage and toilet artic- los. Revenue loss: 364.000.090-

Tho loss on the discarding of the tax on stoves. refrigerators and washing machines runs to tll.000.-

The general io-per-cent sales tax was left untouched. except for minor exemptions. Liquor taxes stay as they are. ,

For business. the corporation tax an companies generating electricity. steam or gas will be limited to a maximum of 43 per cent. oomvl-T95 with the general corporation tax of so per cent.

Crown companies which comp!"- wmr private industry. tax-exempt up to now. will pay normal cor- poration taxes.

Tax deductions allowed for ex- ploration costs of petroleum. nat- ural gas and mining industries are extended for another yell? "W W9 three-year exemption for new mines was extended to mines starting pro- duction in 1955.

some modifications. i'ediiC"0l'Il and sdditicnn were made in llfi" schedules.

"While he mluceli the soft-drink tax.” Mr. Abbott imposed a new ex- cills levy of 15 per cent on dry-WW der drinks which are in comp”-1' firm with the liquid beversfel

Mr. Abbott recalled that I year ago he had described his budget as a "provisional tax vrosnm" with the expectation that the outlook at home and abroad would become clearer. While the tutu was not tree of uncertainty, th prospects now were sufficient to justify mov- ing towards a more stable pattern in the tax structure. - Then he wgrned:

"while we ill continue to press for max um economies the only rsseonsbi e tetlm we can have of reel reduo one in tax must lieeitherin alsseerneed or de- fence e hire or in the steady increase in wealth and incomes of our people. so that the present actual welsh: of taxation becomes:

a relatively lighter burden." in brinsins in a new schedule

I Devil you don't know."

COMP-IILSOIIY '

continued from page 5

Mr. Harvey Douglas thought that if there were to be an effort to do away with the property vote "it should be done altogether." and not just by ralsingrthe amount of the valuation necessary to permit a property owner to vote. He did not think that one man should have an extra. vote ".iust' because he has a few more thousands" than some- one else.

Premier J. Walter Jones noted that some of the people most sev- erely criticised "the heavy drink- ers and men who run around in cars" were actually the biggest tax payers.

Mr. J. W. Don Campbell did not believe that anyone should have 15 votes and felt that if the proper- ty vota were eliminated completely there would be cleaner elections re- sulting. At this point it was sug- gested that in getting rid of the property vote the Province would also be getting rid of a lot of head- aches. lion. Mr. Matheson said we should go "the whole hog and give the vote to those is years of age."

Hon. Keir Clark said that he telt there should be a change made in the districts and referred specifical- ly W the Georgetown District which he said was badly cut up and was really in five 'different parts. some he "might belonged to Cardigan Districts and some to Murray Hm- bour. He compared the situation with the "dual constituencies" of Canada.

Speakers during the debate also mentioned that in the past farm- M had spin up 100 acre farms to give members of their families four voles on a property basis.

M:. William Hughes said that in Changes made the members of the' House might remember that "the DEV” you know is better than the

Mr. Frank Myers stated that when war broke out a man wag no; asked his voting qualificaiions. He saidl that everyone should have 3 vote and thought that the Pro- Vince should rise above conditions mgdthe people vote anyway they

Recalls Old Days

Mr- George Saville recalled the aid days of elections when a party .af'i a barrel of liquor and a buck- et. and if any got spilled there ""8 13191113! to lick up the snow.

Premier J. Vilalter Jones said "ml " the Property vote were re- tained it should be on the bur, in 51-500 0? 52.000 valuation to put it 5" '3 Cumllarabie basis with the 5100 (5325) originally. He ”Wu8m- 100. that a member of the Legislature would be better Mt If he had Only "one piece 9! Couhlry 10 l'9Pi'escnt" and then he could take all the credit or all the blame for what was done.

At ihe end of the discussion the electoral reform forecast in the Speech from the Throne was referred to a committee for study with the members to report back to the House at the next session,

There was a hint that there might be a spuial session of the Legislature called when Premier Jonesysald of the Transportation Committee that they would re. port "at the next or any special session of the House.” No date was hinted at.

Favors Dual Constituency

Mr. John A. MacDonald. Cardi- gan felt that the Province should go to the democratic principle" of "Oh! man. one vote". but he fav- ored retaining what he termed the "dual" constituency idea be- cause ol the religious representa- tion. He thought, too. that the system used at present gave min- orltlel a better chance. He was opposed to multiple voting and said that there were too many People travelling from one dis- trict to another on Election Day. He believed that if the property qualification valaution were be- ing ralsed it should not be too high as that would tend to re- duce the number of eligible vot- ers.

He was inclined to partially agree with the idea of compul- sory voting. even though it were a slight infringement on our free- dom. because it would do away with the necessity of driving peo-, ple to the polls on Election Day.. On this point he mentioned ihnil it was Is sad commentary on the-' present state of affairs when the. people did not have enough in- terest in the conduct of their, affairs to get out and vote on their own. i

Mr. MacDonald humorously re-ll mnrked of the re resentation for- Charlottetown the one of that members "elected for some. months" was reluctant to take, his sent until the Chief Justice. of the Province clarified his posi-. tion.

of ': l income tax rates. he; said the existing 20-per-cent lur-3 charge method of increasing the. pe-sonal income tax had boostccll "in a distorted manner" the ratei of progression in the schedule. In; certain circumstances. it resulted- ln a tax of more than 100 per cent.l

This anomaly was being removed and s "more reasonable scale of progression" established. g

Through this alteration. the av-' stage taxpayer will pay "six per; cent less than he would otherwise. have done under the income tex' law as it now stands."

But this reduction. for the bulk of taxpayers. will be more than of- set by the two-per-cent social sec- urity levy si s the social-security tax is on ta ble in while the the six-per-cent reducton is only a reduction of tax paid. i

Mr. Abbott himself said: "I do not believe that for most tex- peyers the income tax reduction I have nnourioed will be sufficient to offset the old-age security tax.”
