in theweek as possible in the ne ws of the week although the general eleotlon ls just nicely under way in canada and in spit of the fact that election pre dictions are dangerous at any time it is not too early to report one hasty conclusion which several politicians have been reaching during the past l week briefly it is this the ontario i vote will in all probability be the de- elding factor for the conservatives in their bid to wrest the responsibility of administration from prime minister kings government from rough surveys which have been conducted by party organlea tlons these general observations may be made patnllos commitment of his organ zation to the king government is an important one in favor of the present administrations chance in british col umbla throughout the prairie provinces impartial reporters believe- the present government will hold its own in the mafitlmes tlie liberal party counting on keeping as many seats as they havenow despite the narrow shave the liberals had in new brim wick in the last provincial election the argument here ls that the con servatlve gains in the provincial field were due to a desire to out dysart rather than a falling away from the liberal partj conservatives expect a gain or two in prince edward is land that leaves for consideration the two thickly populated provinces of quebec and ontario only the most optimistic conserve tive workers see even a glimmer of hope for their paitj in quebec fol lowing the fairly recent provincial election there this vote appeared to be settled on a federal issue of war effort and hit mineral result was accep ed at least bv the liberals as an tndor tment of tht king government a suddeji reversal of opinion in que bee then would be a distant surprise not so long ago there was some feeling that the social credit organ zation in quebec might be a factor in the next federal election but the pro vincril vote showed that these aber ha t followers had little influence and if that were not enough his eminence the cardinal of quebec last vveck deal a heavy blow lo that group when he lsued t commlnque in which he instructed that no priest or mem ber of the clergy in the quebec dlo cese will gu tlie s ipport of his name to social credit defendf rs or organ a lion and will not be allowed to at tend social cred t public meetings at all this action tht cardinal took to avoid ambiguitj an ing out of the report on social credit made by tlie commission of theologians which his eminence felt might wrongly be used in an election campaign as implying a proval of the doctrine of social cre dit in the name of the church if this pre cntation of the election chances of the two parties throughout the country be anywhere close to the actual faothr then of course it ls easy to understand whj these political ob servers hold that ontario s vote will tell the tale highlight of provincial news last week was tlie hepburn government announcement of new taxation ai increase from 2 to 5 per ent in the tax on net income pavablt bv ordinary incorporated companies if possible it would be ulummating to arrive at a total of the number of ontario citizens who read this an nouncement and then said something i like this well thank goodness that doesn t cost me anything wliat many of us are apt to over look ls that this new tax increase ls reallv n direct tax on each and every -r- one of us for the simple reason thai the companies involved must add the tax to the price of tlie products they sell to the public so many firms j work on such a small margin of profit that to absorb uils and other taxes would mean going into lhe red thus this latest tax may llkelv be responsible for another slight upward shift of prices for all sorts or commo ditics foods clothing furniture gaso line fuel and dozens of other articles which the ordlnar rit cn has to buj frequentlv the pitv of it ls tills the higher the i price the more sil reslst mc there is the more ales nsltanre lhe less production there ls the loss produc tion the greater the in employment i of workmen just another vicious j circle and yet then is thls to keep in mindthat if die provincial gov ernment reallj neds the money for war scnices comp lints will not be strong a in aim k to show how lhls s tern of hidden taxation works out we rt down rather a curious piece of information which came to light last week someone was talking about the l ossibihtj of having tlie old amuse ment lax brought into force again when an official of oni of ontario s large t sport institutions said even
