He commented that if the po-

PC Member From Prince Opposes Top Killer Ban
By DON MACLEOD
Taking part in the draft ad- dress, Keith Harrington (PC- 3rd Prince) spoke out in the Legislature against the govern- ment's intention to introduce legislarlon restricting the use of ' potato top killers in the province.
Mr. Harrington stated he was against such legislation for two reasons
“One reason." he said. "is philosophical." He said every one should have the utmost possible freedom so long as that freedom does not infringe on the rights of others. He said “if a user of poisonous chemicals follows directions. he will do no harm." e said he was for "ut- most punishment" of the neg- lectful user.
Mr. Harrington said he was
a g a i n s t restrictions, as it could affect the farmer econo- mically. It had been suggested that the use of non - toxic to p killers could add from $3 to $5 per acre to the cost of produ- cing potatoes.
The speaker sald he thought it was not within "the power of this Legisla t u r e to restrict something that is safe to use for the purpose it was intended." He suggesed that many peo- ple are making comments about the poisonous chemicals when they really do not understand the implications of their com-
ments.

Expressing concern over the taxation structure of the pro- vince. Mr. Harrington said “the money -raising system is out- dated and should be based on earning power and not on re al estate." He suggested that a
‘commission be set up to study
the tax struc t u r e of the p r o- vince.
Dealing with agriculture. l\lr. Harrington pointed out th at the wheat pool in the west had been of great advantage in mar- keting grain. He suggested that more federal agencies s h o uld be set up to market such items
as vegetables. live 5 t o c k and dairy products. He said a p ro- ducer marketing board set up on the federal level could o g re at deal for orderly mar- keting, thus giving agriculture a greater share of the nationa‘ income."

'‘I believe this is lion." he commented
Speaking on cattle prrr-cs. he noted that, although prices paid to the farmer stand today at 16- 17 cents. whereas last year they were 20-21 cents. the consumer pays the same price.
This indicates that "the farm- er is getring the wool pul‘ed ov- er his eyes". -— and is lrvsin: 925 to $40 an animal." Mr. Harring- ton said

“Yes. I am,“ he replied and the Li h e r a l lV[LA's pounded their desks.
He said this was because It would prevent the present situ- ation \vhich generates competi- tion between not only the var- ious provinces, but between the marketing boards as well.
