A.Forte oyCForrester - Bd'tor and Manager OPPOSITION TO CARTER The Canadian Chamber of Commerce-lias taken a stand against many of the key proposais of the Carter re- port on taxation, mostly on the greunds that tliey would dîscourage investment, particularly of foreign capital, and thus slow down Canada's growth and diminish lier overaîl prosperity. The Chamber opposes the capital gains tax, but in addition urges tliat if sucli a tax is adopted, it sliould be averaged over 20 years, ratlier tlian paid as a straiglit income tax in tlie year the gain is realized., Investors will surely compare tlie tax systems of different, countries, and it is significant that the maximum tax on capital gainis in the United States, wliere gains have been taxed for a long time, is 25 per cent, Canada sliould always strive to keep its tax laws more attractive than those south of tlie border - as of course, they are now, with no capital gains tax. Wîtli regard to capital gains it sliould be remem- bered that an investmnent of $1000 lield for 20 years is likely to be worth $2000 with no increase in real value. If capital gains are to be taxed, surely it is only fair to' tax that portion of them wliich, represents a real gain 'to tlie investor. Another contention of the Cliamber is tliat if a uni- fo(rm business income tax rate is adopted, it will be nec- essary to establisli inceùitives for small businesses, At p)resent tlie first $35,000 of business profits are taxed at 23 per cent, wlile the rate after that is 52 per cent. The Carter Report recommends a uniforni rate of 50 per cent. Would not the prebent tax rates be a better way of keeping small businesses- in being than government ln- centives. Why go through tlie costly .1dministrative mo- tions of taking it away witli one hand, and giving it back with the other? -Port Hope Guide !B'LAN-"DWASIIED Those who sat lui rapt; attention before their tele- vision sets as tlie season s new programs unfolded will have recoiled iu some disappointment. The promise of noveltý and fun, stimulation and adventure h,%s not been fulfîlled. The fun laçks ingenuity, the novelty is weary, the adventure is hollow and tlie stim~ulation is barely disceru- ible. 1Radio and television are stili tlie wonders of aur age. Tliey stili conjureý up an instant audience and trap them for hours. But television's-opportunity to explore the visual and audible world is wastcd by tlie commercial pro- grams which are aimed at tlie lowest possible denominator of popular taste. The only hope, for relief framn the tedium of repi- tition is educational television, Unfortunately, the great majority of vîewers are not able to pick up the programs aired by educational television outiets. The reliaslies wliicli are to be our diet for this winter indicate that those responsible for commercial program- ming have little regard for tlie intelligence f their audi- ence. Neither do tliey liave any thouglit for tlie progress of tlieir media. It is a case of tlie bland leading the bland. -Peterborougli Examiner Interestta' for your health New School To Be Buit e1: K,ýiie t oiuirgia Customers are buying them fer In Bowmanvilleornaments or unusual giftsr.
