By Richard Dalxnault

Canadian Press Staff writer

MONTREAL. LCP)-The question whether Quebec is barking up the wrong tree in its fight for a bigger share of direct taxes popped up unexpectedly at a public study of federal-provincial relations.

It came from It surprising source -9. Montreal lawyer representing interests strongly in favor of the

come more valuable.

Today, direct taxes-on personal income. corporations and inheri- tances-are the big ones. The fed- eral government oolects practic-

ally all of them. Quebec has claimed for years that direct tax rights were given

to the provinces by the British North America Act. Canada's con- stitution. Quebec says the Ottawa treasury gels money that should go-to the provinces.

successful Campaign

Many Quebec lroups support Premier Dtlniea-!ll' View that Que- bec's tax rights should not be bar- gained away. others argue the ott- awa-Quebec deadlock costs the province millions of dollars.

Quebec's provincial autonomy cry. with which Premier Duplcssis has campaigned successfully in elections since 1944. has been aim- ed largely at regaining direct tax

revenues. - i '

'1'hI.t was the reason Mr. Dumas- n1l'a question about the long-farm value of direct taxation powers was surprising. .

It came while Gaetan Legault, another student of constitutional questions. said if the question of direct taxation ever came up be- fore the Supreme court of Canada the ruling would confirm the fed- eral government's powers.

Mr. Dumesnii remarked that in many countries indirect taxation was the new thing. in France. in- direct taxation provide the biggest revenues. Direct taxation is van- ishing.

In Canada the new trend was not yet i apparent but in years ahead indirect taxation might grow substantially and direct taxation become less important.

Nobody who appeared at the first commission sittings in Montreal last week questioned Quebec's re- fusal to trade its powers of direct taxation for federal subsidies. All provinces but Quebec have made the trade.
