georgetown herald famuwd by hem nmmpapwi untlmd 22 main street south georgetown ontario w c ibm pombher thursday april 27th 1967 editorial comment urban and rural sharing thprerrtoanroversy bout the mount of money which georgetown is demanding from esquesmg township for fire protechon for a portion of the town ship indicates how things have changed in recent years the sharing of fire costs under a mut us aid agreement was the first step in hav ing our rural neighbourspay for some town services which until then had been entirely borne by town taxpayers there are others which should be sha red in future years the library arena and swimfrting pool are three which come to mind they are used by rural residents who should be willing to devote a share of their taxes to them this should be done on a population and assessment basis and there could be no new political party there was an intriguing advertisement in the daily press on monday inverted by a mr colin m brown he charges that all federal political parties in their race for votes seem prepared to make canadians in all walks of life the heaviest taxed people n the world and he produces some pertinent sta tistics to prove his point pointing out that in canada government spending has increa sed by 33 in five years compared with only 25 in the states desprte heavy in volvement in the war in viet nam he reproduces a column by globe and mail columnist dennis braithwaite in which n aspiring young political leader in a tel vision interview expressed himself as in favour of more government expenditure on practically everything to the point where the columnist reasons that eventually all our salary wilt go for taxes with the gov rnment returning some of it tn various pro grams designed to keep us from starving or going without a roof over our heads we have no indication what mr brown hopes to accomplish with his advertisement perhaps it is the start of a new political party and if so we are interested the time is past due when we must wake up and realize that taxes federal provmcmil and municipal cannot go up and up and up for the taxpayers pocket is not bottomless pit we are fast approaching a welfare state where as mr brathwaite says the government will handle all money end dole out what it deems necessary a lot of the blame must be placed on our own shoulders we constantly demand more and more from the public purse as suming that it comes from seme wealthy benefactor a look at the income tax tab- legitimate beefs fom rural dwellers ff small portion of their tax money went for such conveniences it is sensible to have only 6ne library only one arena for a cer tain number of people and whether they live in or out of town limits is of no import aance to the benefits derived it is a question which the two muni cipal councils should discuss with open minds georgetown should no more be looking to pull any fast ones on our neigh bors any more than the neighbours should be trying to get something for nothing we are far past the days when there was a sharp division between rural and ur ban countryside and as esquesmg rapidly ur banizes the strain on town facilities- be- comes more and more acute and tne cost of maintaining these services is increasingly harder on the town tax budget les and a comparison of take home pay with gross salary in all income brackets soon dispels this certainly we need cooperative plans for such necessities as health insurance and pension plans but does our central govern ment have to keep spending astronomical amounts to entertain us on television and at the movies when there are private compan ies quite willing to do so should we pour millions of dollars into th ngs like expo and the centennial should we support senior political citizens in the senate with lifetime annuities at the provincial level must we con tmue to spend fortunes on school buildings using the excuse that noth ng is too good for our young people must we continue to plan superhighways into cities funnelling more and more motor traff c into them and requiring more an3 more such highways when the only answer to commuters is rap id transit and leave your cars at home
