4 The Canadlan Statesman, flowmnanville, Aug. 29. 19$4 EDITORIAL COMMENT' &/ ?Joungman's Co/umii Why Your Taxes It is increasingly clear that another strip, and probably a large one, may soon be torn from the taxpayer's bide, zays The Financial Post in ils leading editorial. Ottawa is plainly determined ta irtroduce as soon as possible a nia- tional health plan based on the Hlall Royal Commission report. This decision has been taken even befone the effecîs of the proposed Canada Pension Plan's implications can be even partly assess- ed. It is also a decision that seems bo have been taken with blithe disregard for urgent spending needs for educa- tion. If the health scheme pi esented by the Hall people were in full operation today, the Canadian Tax Foundation says, an extra $915 million would bave ta be raised thnougb Canada's lax sys- terr on top of the $7.750 million now extracted by Ottawa and fnom corpora- tion taxes. That would raise the rate to a ludicrous 741, b 76'; of aIl earn- ings. Il could be raised by higher fed- eral manufacturer's sales taxes. This would push bbe rate from 8<1- ho 19'%. rOr il could be done by' increasing every- There has been some critical com- ment, bbc Canadian Manufacturers'1 Association reports, on the point( that payroll accounîs for what seems1 ta be a relatively small share of the' rnanufacturing industrys sales dollar.J The CMA's recently published annual survey showed that in 1963 wages andc salaries took 20.8 cents out of each dol- lar of sales. Employee benef ils account- ed for another 1.6 cents. The complainti has been on the point that only one-1 fifth of the industrv's sales dollar goes1 ta the workers who produce and seil the goods. But a look at the completei resuits of bbc sunvey shows that bbc critics are jîumping bo conclusions, writes C. J. Harris.E The main paymnents nmade out orf each dollar received by rnanufacturers for their produets were 44.2 cents fort m'ateials 20.8 cents for wages and sal- aries, and 15.3 cents for shop and fac- tory supplies, electric power and water,i municipal taxes, repairs 10 plant andi equipment, and charitable donations.1 Federal and provincial income taxesi took 4.2 cents, and excise and sales tax-1 es anotben 4.7 cents. Depreciation ofg A Brake on One of tbc most promising sour-ces of Canadlian investment muncy is hhe large reaervoir of capital building up in pension funds, says The Financial Post in a leading edilorial. LasI week's bill introducîng bhc Canada Pension Plan inspires some hope that the national scherne will leave room for pnivate pen- sion fund growth and for tbc Catiadian ownership capital that pi-ivate fonds can provide. The righl way for Ottaxwa fo set up a national schcme, if it was deter- rnined ta go ahead wiîh a governmenb- run plan instead of merely seting stan- dards for pivate plans, would have been ta run il on a pay-as-vou-go ar- rangement. For political reasons, how- ever, we are apparcntly committed ta a plan that pubs several billion dollars int government - controlled invesîment portfolios. Tbis should provide rnost of the debt financing requinemenîs of lte provinces over the next decade. l doesn't do much - except indircctlv-% - ta boost the supply of equilv capital ineeded ta build plants and equipmenl and provide jobs forilte gencration Measured inî ('atiadiati dollars, goods and services pnoduced tn Canada last year bad a v'aluie equal lu $2,265 per bead of population, a tîew r'ecord high surpassed only by tbc United States ($3,340) and Swecn ($2.384). A further indicationi of Canadian affluence in relation bu bbc nest of man- kind is given iii a î'ecent report of Ihe U.S. Agency for International Develop- ment. In il, Canada's 19 Million peuple ar'e shown as accountiîîg for' tht-c percent af the value of alIlte goods and ser- vices produccd b-v the nîcc-Communist world. The comparable figure for the whoie continent of Af rica with ils popu- lation of nearlv :300 millionî is butt2.5 percent.

The extra $915 million bo be raised from the puîblic is flot, in one wav, quite as hon- rifying as it looks. Since al bealth ex- penditunes would be paid bx' the gov- ernment, consumers would hiave lefI in their bands almost $700 million that tbey would otberwise use bo pay indi- vidual health buis. The point of the Foundation study, boweven, is entirelv valid, continues The Financial Post comment. This is money bo be naised publicly. Il is bound ho bave an enor- mous effect on our tax structure, on produet costs and on our national pow- er ta compete in international markets. Every bhoughtful Canadian would bope that the medical services now available to everyone would be im- proved and that those most in need would gel first attention. But our na- tional ability ho sustain great welfare sebemes depends on our national ec- onomic vitality and pnoductivity. Try- ing for too mucb too fast will defeat the ends the welfane proponients wisb to achieve.
