Federal Provincial Split On Taxes Said Ridiculous

By DON HANRIGHT MONTREAL (CPI —- Federal- provincial tax arrangements were thanply attacked here by Dr. Kenneth Eaton. Ottawa fiscal consultant former assistant deputy minister of fi-

nance.

He told the annual conference of the Canadian Tax Foundation that at each federal-provincial conference Ottawa “gets talked‘ out of more tax space for the provinces."

Then. instead of taxing to re-. coup its “give-away" program, the federal government simply had so—called planned deficits. Since 1957 these deficits were roughly equal to the additional hand-outs to the provinces.

"Now there is just no future for a nation in this kind of dith- ering around." Dr. Eaton said.

He said that at the last fed- eral-provincial conference the federal government agreed to

: mmitee with the provinces to study taxes in re- lation to responsibilities.

"Ridiculous," Dr. Eaton scoffed. “There is nothing fun- damental in this. It is simply political juggling."

He said that for all practical purposes the provinces have just as much. and as good, scope for taxing as has Ottawa and “any statement to the con- trary is nonsense."

PRAISES OLD SYSTEM

Dr. Eaton, 70, who resigned from the finance department in 1958. said the old tax rental agreements with the provinces gave Canada a tax system un- surpassed in any other federal

state.

“In the latter yea-rs of their long term of office the Liberals, after building up this orderly tax system, found it inconsist- ent with certain of their po- litical objectives and the edifice started falling apart.

"The Progressive Conserva- tives hastened the break-up and today only remnants remain of the enviable tax system which we once . . . had."

Eaton also blasted the progressive rates of federal in- come tax which. he said. take 40 per cent of the first dollar of taxable income over $12,000.

“People in this bracket are not there because of fortunate birth, luck or special privilege. I‘hey are not rich. Mainly they are moderately well - educated fellows who have simply been paying attention to their work. “Yet the government takes this

. swipe at them on pay-day."
