There are a lot of questions setting a "Valuation Day" in and doctors'in support of legal- izing use of marijuana, shows how much society's attitude to- wards the drug has changed in the last year. ~~ In fact, Judge William Little _ of Toronto's Juvenile and Fam. fly Court went so far as to state: "Marijuana is less harm- ful than either tobacco or al cohol." With such-knowledgable peo- ple advocating a change in our laws, it is only proper for the Canadian government to meet * that should be answered first. Not the least of these is how sales could be controlled to keep the drug out of the hands of school children. A few years ago, people would have expressed shock to learn that high school students were being offered drugs as . they left school. Today, the teenagers will tell you that any student who really wants a weekend supply of marijuana, LSD or "speed," 'merely .places his order on Thursday. And The long-awaited White Pa- per on Taxation will take a lot - of understanding. The capital gains section alone requires that average Canadians take a crash course in accounting to figure out what they owe Otta- wa every time they sell a house, tractor, farm, stock or stamp collection. Of course, by the time the new tax structure becomes law, probably in 1971, even Finance Minister Edgar Ben- son admits there will be plenty pension cheques or- salary. All that should matter to the tax office is that all income is taxed at the same rate. This principle is difficult to challenge, provided it is car- ried all the way as proposed by Carter. But the present govern- ment plan stops short of treat- ing all citizens, corporate or __private, as equal. For example, Carter came out strongly against any kind of preferential tax treatment for the natural resources in- 1970, the average farmer, or city dweller for that matter, should suffer little hardship from the change. The govern- ment proposal enables a farm- er or homeowner to add $1, 000 annually to the 'Valua- tion Pay" figure as well as ! include the cost of improve- ments. If your farm is valued at $50,000 in 1970, and you want to sell in 1975, the first $565,000 is tax-free.
