ontario industry has appointed another in the earning prarlnelal btaetlan to the electors op ii alton in my letter this week i promised to deal with the succession duty tnic as you are all aware succession duties are taxes which governments collect from estates after death it is admitted by all democratic authorities that in the main taxes should be collected from tne citizens of any country in a fair propor tion with services received and ability to pay it ts also admitted almost univer sally now that the accumulation of wealth in a few hands a detrimental to the public flood because this condition can be carheclto the point where large groups will be compelled to live in pover ty keeping these two facts in mind it is clear that succession duties properly imposed will not only raise considerable cevenuev tout are on the whole beneficial 3n their opinion in ontario in the smaller estates the tax is very modeate when the estate is going- to direct des cendants there la no tax on estates up to b60oo as to estates in excess of this amount a tax is imposed startuts with 1 and increasing to 10 when one million dollars is reached prom these figures it is seen that the tax is- not oppressive and is much less than that imposed in great britain and other countries when elected to oltic found a startling state of affair the tax was not being collected in many in stances this tax evasion wo being ac compltshed in two ways many years ago a block of ontario bonds were issued as succession duty free we found these bonds were being passed from estate to estate and were being used over and over again to escape duties this prac tice we stopped now the bonds ore only used onre for this purpose and are then bought in by the treasury the other means of evading the tax was by i improper accounting the first estate which we investigated was in london the henry government had settled with the estate at some 32000 and then mode a small refund to the estate far prompt payment after proper investigation we collected from this estate 760000 and the collection was made without suit next was a toronto estate where the henry government had settled wfth the spi ci41s during

again i lobar qtsestlati have you read mr dingles letter on the cxo and the labor question if i you havent i would suggest you read it mr dingle says that the newspapers have deliberately m38repre- sented mr rowr stand mr dingle says that he backs up mr rowe on this question after reading this letter i rather wonder- whether mr dingle reslly understands his own leaders position on this question which he endorse to put the matter bluntly mr rowe says 09 far as hels concerned labor can be- come affiliated with any union of its choice whether the union sponsors ii- j legal methods for obtaining its ends or not his language is wide enough to freely permit canadian workmen to join unions with communistic or anarch u- j tic alms he soys that he relics solely on the good judgment of the ontario labor this attitude is a direct invlu- mehatlot of hon w l mackenlxe king arid hon norman rogers lor refraining from interfering with a purely ontario question until asked to do bo mr dingle must be terribly jipset when he would go so far as to applaud mackenric king i with you wonder whether this enthusi asm for mr king wil last for another two years until the dominion elections are with us once again or is it just a passing fancy and then the conclusion of mv dingles letter what a touching peroration on the sterling qualities of the canadian working man once again i suggest to mr dingle that he underestlmates the intelligence of canadian workmen no orte is going to be fooled by obvious flat tery of this nature no one has ques tioned the loyalty and sincerity of can adian workmen mr hepburn plainly served notice on lewis and his gang sters that lawlessness as practised in the us wont be tolerated in ontario mr row parenfly votes of n few radicals mr dingle says mr rowe has chosen- themost difficult path mr rowe didnt think so at the lime but i am inclined to think he be lieves so now i have taken a ketn interest in luonr matters all my life my interest in labor is not a
