Not later than the first week of March, and probably a week earlier, is the time now fixed for this annual pronouncement, usually the most im- portant bit of legislation of the ses- sion. The Tariff Board has been in con- ference with the Minister of Finance this weck on the more important, question submitted to it, but the ex- changes are confidential. Since the board was established it 'bas heard 124 applications, ly speaking, half of them sought tariff increases, and half tariff reductions. Since the last session there have been 27 references and 40 hearings. bree Parts in Budget. A budget speech is always divided in three parts--revenue, trade, and tariff and taxation. With regard to the reyenues and trade the Minister will be able to report expansion in both lines. Whether this increase in revenue will be considered to war- rant a decrease in the taxation struc- ture is uncertain, but the probabilitics are against much change, The theory that, apart from some adjustments, no vital e will made in the tariff this year is sup- rted by two or three considerations. erhaps the most important is the now _pending revision at Washi with indications of Canada being ad- versely affected, but just how and where and to what degree, rather ob- scure. The Government it is said will wait and see. rr argu- ment advanced is that, speaking gen- erally, the country is prosperous, and that therefore, the fiscal structiirc should not be disturbed. the Finally, there is the question of large cases e the Tariff Boar ecting particularly coal and steel, and cement. They were pressed vig- orously. - Little was made out of the cement case, which was an applica- terial. 'The division of among the affected interests the board as alvable and all operates to Ee pretty much as they are. At feast it gives an excuse when, in any event, the disposition was mot strong for doing much of anything.
