k the acton ftec pmsb more taxes for everyone so we have some changes in taxes in the new budget of course the only taxes that find favour are those that are lower but with increas ed deferise expenditure and more services de manded from governments by most groups lower taxes are getting further away generally speaking the new levies are not as drastic as many anticipated and certainly did not hit in all the places that might hsvo been includ ed the anticipated increase in liquor tax did not materialize as many expected and the cigarette and tobacco tax took all the load it might have been divided as both are nonessentials white one may argue the budget from an individual viewpoint perhaps no doubt if wo were faced witji similar demands for revenuo it is doubtful if anyone could have done better the nrqiimffn will go in the house of commons and perhaps if will be just as well if it is retained there while thebusmess of the country proceeds and the taxpayers go about earning the now taxes the increased taxes will hit everyone s poc ketbook but it is belter to have knowledge of what is being levied than to have more hidden levies in subsidies a taxconscious public is more aleit1oifnrbuslness of the country than 8 people who are lulled bysubsdies for particular croups theyre new here canada has a good many new canadians and they have a duty to canada as old canadians have to them recently the rescue of an inured farmer was delayed by the inability of a nether lander to speak english this was an extreme case since the man had been in canda little over a week but nevertheless it emphasizes the fact that new canadians have a duty in learning to speak english most towns have set up courses in basic english for these people and are helping in every way to make them capable citizons besides set ting up courses every citizen has a duty to per form in helping these new citizens tounderstand our way of life our many peculiarities and our complicated language you have probably heard more than once that english is the most difficult language to learn if you investigate the number of words with double meanings and words pro nounced the same yet spelled differently you will understand to a certain extent the problems facing our new canadians i in teaching new canadian citizens their duties to the community and the country it might be wise for each of us to review ust what those duties are tn so doing we will not only learn a valuable lesson but set a better example take election day as one small duty ordinarily only a few vote and men are elected to control our government municipal provincial and fede ral by less than half the people by teaching we can learn by learning we can set a better example for others to learn by encouraging signs it is an encouraging sign to note advertising and signs ia retail establishments generally stale that there will be no change in prices on items now in slock on account of the recent budget in creases it has been the custom in many instanc es lo put increases into effect at once and this keeps the cost of goods andsorvices dowt perhapsthe time has come when wo are all tiring of the foolish merrygoround of increasing prices only to find that the solo accomplishment is a dollar of lower value and decreased purchas ing power the holding of prices is one that can best be controlled by the people generally and not by control laws now is the time to show by example that there is a desire to hold down prices and not grasp at every opportunity for making the prices greater a twosided story whenever tne dommtlovf bureau of statistics releases its monthly survey on the cost of living and it happens that the index has gone up a notch or two from its previous h gh newspapers invariably feature the news on the front page under a display head that only tht near sighted could miss in the strict interpolation of news this 15 as t it should be the current cost of living is a lively point of discussion and no two women or for that matter no two men can get together for more than a few minutes without the subject coming up in some shape or form if people keep on talking about it and its discursive quality rip ens in proportion to its swelling it certainly is news and relatively speaking its front page news but this repeated featuring of the cost of living index forces a question why do reports of constantly rising industrial wages fail to make the front pages with a prominence equal to that given the living cost rise we dont know the answer but they practically never do certainly dbs reports of wage increases are carried by the press blit way inside on the financial page and surrounded by advertisements that all but bury them in hopeless obscurity in all fairness it should be pointed out with similar prominence to that afforded reports of increased living costs that the percentage of wage incrvates has advanced and continues to advance more rapidly than the cost of living percentages increase if the pricepf a roast or the cost of junior s shoes are murder compared with prewar prices and these items are construed as news worthy then the thickness of pa s pay envelope today compared with his wags in 1939 is news wortn77 when freedom is lost- the allimportant oftonchallonged froedonrl of the press drew recognition from newspapers of the world when the argentine paper la prensa was closed on january 26 by a vendor s boycott dr gainza jaz exiled editor of the paper still believesja prensa will resume its task of fulfil ling the 81 yearold motto founded by his grand father of trust honesty that js our point of departure it was for disrespect in challenging the powers of ihe congressional commission which took possession of la pronsa that the editor was sentenced to 15 days m prison with no assur ance that it wouldn t be prolonged one noted lawyer in argentina said there is no law in argentina peron incited mobs attacked la prensa more times than aro remembered neither advertising nor circulation were affected when vigorous campaigns of denunciation wore carried on against the buenos aires newspaper it was the controlled press that suffered rather than the free press in 1943 argentina s newspapers were warn ed against inflaming the public and later a 1 decree systemitized the levying of punishments and setting of fines editorials were submitted to la prensa with instructions to publish la prensa continued to print the news and never directed any personal criticism at peron restrict ing criticism to the government actions a state sof seige was lifted after the 1946 election and a law prohibiting disrespect to was passed un fortunately truth is no defense to the disrespect law for the truth may be even more disrespectful than an untruth la prensa s circulation was forced down be cause of a 20 per cent cut in newsprint supplies presses arriving in buenos aires from abroad were for some reason not allowed to be instal led a labour dispute finally led to the closing of la prensa because trade unions in argentina are now nearly all government controlled among services of la prensa before its clos ing were treatment for 30000 persons annually in a health clinic agricultural advice for 4 300 legal advice for some 6 500 educating some 200 music students and a number of other worth while services la prensa 15 closed argentina s leading voice of freedom has been stilled american news papers went into mourning for la prensa but the challenging spirit of dr gainza paz the exiled editor has not btcn conquered from his exile he said la prensa must reappear strengthened by the support of a people who love liberty and condemn mustice freedom of the press is the culmination of many legal battles waged by challenging editors for the benefit of 1 nation it is often eopardized but its power is seldom matched american newspapers played a large part in bringing about the present crisis investigation across the border dictators fascists communists and many freedom loving people fight the press s freedom iusr as that freedom is sometimes misused but once that freedom is lost so is the voice of we the people when are you
