The Free Press Wednesday September The clergy Apeak put By Rev A Walter Chnrchfll Community Cbnrch The decision made by farmers organizations to withhold payment of taxes made against farm property as a whole because of excessive assessments Is to be commended It appears to the writer of this article that this could be one effective way of making the Government of Ontario realise that while the paper which Is used In the making of currency does grow on trees the actual economic equivalent does not It takes on the part of the average far mer great deal of labor sweat and planning to earn the dollars necessary to keep his business solvent There la good ground for taking ex to the fact that a large portion of the tax dollar la spent on education More than half of the municipal tax dollar Is so spent The recent change from government by local school boards to county government has certainly added to the local school tax while the setting up of area supervisors has further led one to feel that Is akin to elevation to the Senate in political matters A plum for those who work handinhand with the Establishment One teacher of some years of devoted service passed this remark some time ago Andwhatdotheydo The question la well taken Perhaps their major contribution la the filing of statistics which are safely pigeonholed In department files Surely supervision of our school system by school inspectors was In the main well taken care a In the past Why these over paid area supervisors now The Free Press In an Issue of a few weeks ago carried a press report stating that area supervisors of the Board of Education readily agreed to let the 3 per cent salary Increase guideline set by the federal authorities be the figure acceptable to them The statement would have been amusing If it had not been so tragic There are married pensioners in this province whose combined pensions are no greater than and In some cases not as great as such an Increase In pay would be One feels sick at heart when he stops to consider the tremendous economic Imbalance which exists so often between the Incomes of senior citizens as a whole and some sections of the active labor force Moreover the dictatorial attitude frequently taken by those who sit in authority In the Department of Education is something else again Some of their pronouncements go beyond being guide lines they are rulings which may not be departed from A few years back an area school was being considered to serve a portion of Grey County The land for such a school could have been bought for less than Department officials directed no less than be paid for thia site Govern departments often act as though money were going out of style la It any wonder that taxes are steadily Increasing and the standing debt of our government is doing the same There Is one thing about which I never cease to wonder and that is as to how long suffering the general public can be over governmental malpractice with that public own money For that what taxes need to follow the lead suggested by farm organizations in taxes and do a little more protesting re matters of which we do not approve Even our prime minister has so advocated Georgetown church closes The doors of First Baptist church in Georgetown were of closed following a special service A crew of movers removed the contents of the church to St
