pack two the acton wee esv thursday april 8th 1m1 tax dollars municipal tax bills have been sent out and like everything else they are higher there is always one actor that makes them more palal able than other imposts for your municipal taxes you see the local work every day for which your money is spenf there are your schools your water services your streets your sewage disposal system your garbage collection etc these and many other services are provided by your municipal lay but did you ever try to enumerate the things hat are done by your provincial and federal taxjevies balance them off some day and you will find that dollar for dollar you get more that vitally affects you from your municipal tax levy than you do for your provincial and federal tax assessments then of course other levies are more difficult to put your finger on as they ere of the concealed variety whereas your mun icipal taxes come out in bliint and bold amount the farmers raw material farming is big business it is a trade a craft a profession and it certainly is a major consid eration m the economy of this town and this country its importance has never been truly estimated and never will for it is the flour barrel of the country and the provider of the nation the individual farmers are business men taking a living from the soil apd in turn provid ing necessary products for public consumption the good farmer ust as the good business man must keep a watchful and understanding eye on his raw material one of the farmer s big raw material sources is the soil its care is as important and vital to thi town and this nation as is the farmer con servation has been preached in one form or an other for several years but still there are gigantic steps of improvement to be taken before the sit uation is nearly satisfactory a recent story m a nat onal magazine pointed cut the importance of rater water s one branch and an mportant one in the over ail picture of ccnservat on so i erosion is another major factor n the nclus e term conservator we have never been ben nd a plow or cultivator lut we understand thar s ripler to plow by the ccntchjr iet fran oy the stra qht furrow not cvk thjt

where t s so necessary the farmer s not the only one concerned w th the v tal ssue ct conservation we in the town have known he scare ty of water with shutoffs and curta iment in the heat of summer months and conservat en m the so i and its water supply have been dr ven home let us look a our raw material source and ictam the caut ous watchful eye thai the soil and tts care require make conservat on a by word when ou plow vour f elds using the contour method th s spr ng do our share to wards the betterment of a country and a nat on another nuisance tax it s so easy these days to slip in a new tax to meet government spending thaf the general public does not arise to th seriousness of the tix until it actually hits their pockelbook under discussion at ottawa now is a pro posal to amend the canadian ccuisrhullon british north america act so as to permit the provinces to impose indirect taxation the scheme that the federal and provincial govern- tyients have concocted is that the provinces would be allowed to collect a tax of three per cent on gross retail sales and would apply the amounts so collected to paying their share of old age pensions naturally such a tax would add to the cost of living of everyone in the- country because all taxes that increase the cost of goods must be- paid finally by the consumer of those goods but to collect the tax the retailers will somehow have to add more than three per cent to some of their prices but what about the application of a three per cent tax to the small items we purchaso daily a three per cent retail tax on the six cents you pay for the free press would be about a fifth of a cent to collect this the retailer would be obliged to charge a cent since no smaller coin is available the same would apply to soft drinks pipe cleaners and a multitude of small items the retailer would have the option of absorbing the tax or charging if and perhaps losing the trade there are already sufficient bothersome taxes now the hme to stop another one being foisted on the public is now an eight per cent sales tax is sufficient let the governments gjve at tention to pruning their spending father than devoting energy to conjuring up new taxes big and small theft the exposure bv the f nanc al post of the afta rs of the un ted emergency fund for britain is a publ c ser ce and a warning to all that there are oo rrany smooth tongued operators who are w ii ng to drag the name of char ty in the mud tor the sake of personal ga n it ap pears according to the post s f nd ngs that of the s 593 000 rased bv the u e f b only 880 went to buy food few br ta n the sordid deta is as g ven do not make pleasant reading we cannot see the need for a slow government investigation now that the damage has been done but there is a need for safeguards to se that there can be no repetition of such betvayal of public trust and a need for adequate punishment of those who have com rnittedsuch a sin against atl chanties such a betrayal of trust is going to be detrimental to many public chanties in canada most of which are well administered and carefo1ty supervised surely in this land where we have laws that provide punishment for the theft of a loaf of bread we can provide adequate punishrnenj for those who divert chanty funds to their own purposes father than those for which if was given surely our laws are for the punishment of the big operator as well as the small t me -thief- community centre rash the huntsville forester recently commented that that town like a lot more ontario centres came dangerously near infection with the prev plent community centre rash when the whole province was being swept off its feet with a rapid current of enthusiasm the town without a community centre specially designed and built tor the purpose was something of a back num ber in v or ous parts of the province ample time has new passed to test the practicability pf the idea towns where there was impetus yielding te the crae have now an opportunity to sit back and study the w sdom or folly of their impetu osity in a recent ed tonal the toronto daily star discusses some of the experiences the follow mg excerpt reveals results which amply justify the caution exercised in huntsville the star says the latest centre to hpve an unhappy ex penence with a new arena is fergus ontario where scottish thrift has been shocked by the existence of unexpected capital debts of 9 000 on a building owned tty the municipality but operated by a commission on which the village has only two representatives the municipality will issue 10 000 worth of debentures to cover the loss waterloo has advanced loans of 20 000 and 5 000 to the waterloo memorial arean com mission th s winter attendance at the hockey games has been poor faced with a quest for a 7 000 debenture issue to cover debts unpaid when artifcial ice was nstalled in its arena kincard ne council suggested a further drive for funds nstead owen sound arena which paid well the f rst year is sa d to have fallen behind s nee then the obv ous lesson to be drawn from the experiences of the towns referred to is that municipalities as welt as individuals must sit back for a period and give intelligent consider fltion to projects supported by a frenzy of public clamour precipitous action is too often followed by regrets tt appears now that many of the townyieldmg to the pressure are in the regret ful class editorial notes l woulrvf tvtn considtft th on makvht mud wive tt uamno the good old days may have seemed better back in 1901 tnki ii from tlu
