Net Paid Circulation Aver: Per Issue 7 , 4 © 7 FEBRUARY, 1947 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1947 A Balanced Budget The budget brought down in the Ontario Legislature yesterday by Provincial Treasurer Frost contained some surprises and it has also served to allay a number of rumors which have been in circulation one of which was that the province planned to impose a tax on income. It is pleasing to note that an expected deficit of $21,065,- 694 for the present year was turned into a surplus of $454,000 due to unexpectedly large revenues and the keep- ing of expenditures within the budget. While the surplus is not large it is indicative that the province is making progress. That better things lie ahead is shown by the announcement that despite the fact that gross expenditures next year will total $166,569,308, a surplus is forecast. There are a number of budget highlights for commun- ities like Oshawa and Whitby. Chief among these is the announcement that special road assistance grants will be made and that the one mill subsidy will be continued. Another is the announcement that the grants will be made to assist in the construction of hospitals and additions to existing hospitals. This is of particular significance to Osh- awa in view of the overcrowded condition of the hospital. There has been a consistent demand for the improve- ment of highways and the building of new roads, particu- larly in the northern sections of the province. Money must be found for this work and consequently little quarrel can be found with the decision to collect the three-cent gasoline tax which the federal government will abandon at the end of this month. It was to be expected that the province would refrain from adding to the income tax burden. Such action would have aroused a storm of protest and might in the end have resulted in the downfall of the government. On the other hand it was something of a surprise to note that a seven per cent levy is to be made on corporation taxes. However, the blow will be lessened by the fact that the Dominion has undertaken to reduce its corporation tax by 10 per cent.

From time to time the Conservative Party has been tabbed as being closely associated with big business. From | a study of the budget this would not seem to be the case as the man in the street stands to benefit to a greater degree than ever before. Compulsory Voting Whether municipal, provincial or federal, an election campaign invariably produces a rash of slogans designed to drum up voter interest. Net result of the independent "get out to vote" campaign | is rarely encouraging. Percentage of eligible voters casting | their ballot often sinks below the half-way mark and has even dwindled to a mere 25 per cent. | One blunt alternative to the present voting procedure is | compulsory voting. A British Columbia legislative commit- tee, after studying the Australian compulsory voting plan, is sponsoring a similar plan calling for a "system of perpet- ual registration." All residents of the province over 21 years of age would be issued numbered cards showing their names, addresses, occupations and electoral district. Failure to register would mean a fine of $10. Further penalties would be tacked on including possible loss of voting elegibility for failure to vote without a gilt-edged reason. The B.C. proposals, still in the blueprint stage, have been blasted by critics who claim that the registration and subsequent voting would usher in a new flood of bureau- ? cratic practices. More serious is the charge that the demo- by us cratic structure would virtually be undermined by a surge of $ uninformed voters to the polls. An intelligent vote, runs this argument, rates far higher than a maximum one. These charges against compulsory voting de undoubt- edly valid in some degree at least. But what other antidote is there for voter apathy? Effective voter education promot- ing continuous interest in political affairs is the usual answer. Unless such a program proves far more successful than it has in the past, compulsory voting will begin to look like the only way to prod democracy out of the doldrums.
