I 'TIME FOR DECISION NEW SERIES, ARTICLE 16 toi would set in motion at once a more positive expansion programme for the maximum development of Canada's wealth and resources for the benefit of ail the people of Canada. Let us use Canada's brains in Canada for Canada and create the basis for a substantial enlargement of our population which will, in turn.4 make a stronger and a wealthier Canada." CHALLENGE ACCEPTED These words spoken in the House of Commons, by John Bracken, national leader of the Progressive Coniservative Party# appear in Hansard Dec. 9, 1947, Page 112. They were the answer to the challenge of what he would do if given power to iead Canada out of the public perpiexities foisted on Canadians under the continuing experimental post-war policies of the Mac- kenzie King government. OFFER REFUSED Who is this man Bracken? Has he the background, the experience, the ability. the driving force, to "Set in motion a more positive expansion programme to make a stronger and wealthier Canada?" This column will answer these questions. They will be answered from personal knowledge of the career of John Bracken dating f rom his college days to his present position as a national leader. BRIE)' SUMMARY A quick summary of the Bracken career is that he was born on a farm, bas been identified with farming aillbis 11f e and owns and successfully operates farmns in eastern and western Canada today. Gold medallist graduate of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, he was Professor of Field Husbandry in Saskatch- ewan University and President of Manitoba Agricultural College before entering public life. PREMIER AND LEADER When the farmers won power in Manitoba in 1922 they literally drafted Bracken as Premier of the province and he bead- ed that governiment, witbout defeat, until be resigned almost 21 years later, again to be drafted as the national leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. Elected to the House of Com- mons he thus became tbe off iciai leader of tbe opposition. He will lead his party in the next Dominion election. UNMATCHED RECORD A record of rrlmost 26 years in public if e without a single personal defeat can mean nothing else thon the possession of unusual abilities in many directions for continued public con- fidence is something not lightly won. This is even more greatly eniphasized in the fact that Bracken was the only head of a gov- ernment within the British Empire wbo survived the great depres- sion of the thîrties. STORY CONTINUES In view of the fact that the electorate will soon be given opportunity to choose the next government at Ottawa, with Bracken the chief contender agaînst the present administration, it should be deemed in the public interest to set forth in much more detail the successful course of Mr. Bracken as a citizen and pubiic administrator. The next article will continue' the record. HAMPTON Mm. and Mms. A. E. Billett, Port Ferry, with Mm. and Mrs. H. Wil- cox. Mm. and Mrs. T. Wray visîted Mm. and Mrs. Jackson Wray, Osh- awa. Mrs. T.

Welcome !News to Growers - Enquiry as to the local secd sit- uation this wcek found Stcwort's Seed Store optirnistic of ficing able to supply gamdcn (,eds in quantity and at normal prîcs. In view of prevaiiing high prîtes of vegetables it is anticipitted that theme will bc a big demand for garden seeds in a drive to low- er the cost of living. Orders should be assemblcd to avoid a last minute rush and February is none too soon to begin planning, for a garden. The supply of seed grain will of course depend on quantities to be obtained locaiiy and from outside sources, but it is believed that sufficient will be secured to meet the demand anticipated. The program for Ontario is an incrcase of 50 million bushels of feed grain Ibis year, bcnce orders sbould be piaced at once. The price will be governed by prevailing mar- kets. In the small seed category such as grasses and permanent pasture mixtures, both supply and prices are extremely favorable, save for red clover. It is scarce and very much up in price. Prices of al other small seeds are lowem than last year. Farmers are warned that vari- able prices bave been charged for permanent pasture mixtures and advice in this regard sbould be sought from the local agricul- tural epresentative. The accre- dited O.A.C. mixture can be oh- tained locally at around $9.00 to $9.50 per acre. This should be kept in mmd vhen ordering and again it %vould be well to order early. SIMPLER INCOME TAX FORMS ISSUED AT LAST A new simplified income tax form has now becn designed with a view to simplifying tax returos and to relieve the great majority of those who pay income tax from year to year of a major annual headache, declares the Smiths Falls Record News. This form is to apply to al those having income of less than $3,OO a year-which means ab- out 90 percent of the taxpayers of the Dominion of Canada -and it wi]l be flot much larger than a postcard. That in itsclf is a valuable reform. Even more valuable is the fact that the com- putation of the tax, that which has brought the average taxpayer the greatest amount of grief, is to be carried out by the income tax department. rather than by the taxpayer. The employer also pays a part of the new program, for it will be he who will fi the major de- Darke, Port Britain and Mr. Al- bert Rollings.

In view of the turn is the first step towards real fact that many an emi5loyer al- simplification we have seen for ready bas come to the assistance many years.

The income tax people have, oý. course, dcvised this new and sim- phiid form as much for their own henefit as for the benefit of thc tax-paying public. Because a vcry large number of those at- tcmpting to compute their own taxes, have failed to do so with an,, degree of accuracy -not at ail surprising in view of the in- tricacies of the systemn that has been pursued-the department bas found itself burdened with a tremendous volume of correspon- dence having to do with either ovcr-payment or under-payment. It will now have very much lesý of this to do, since it will itseli compute the taxes.I Originally the incomne tax re- turn was a relatively simple thing quite within the grasp of anyonc with ordinary intelligence. Throughout the years, however. the tax structure bas been so ehanged and broadened and com- plicated that it is a small wondcr many taxpayers find themselveF coînpelled to employ professional accountants to make out their re- turos.
