ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, VMDNE8P»AY, OC1TBER 25th,17 ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, Second ClamsMoâ Regitratic>n .Number 1468 PubUsked every Thursday at the office of pabliet4. Main Stpeet, Orono. ont»io. phffl 98-MIl Only five days left to election day, Monday, October 3th, when Canadians will elect their government for the next tenu of office. Over the past weeks much lias been said and much hlas been written ooncerning the state of Canada and presenting political views by ail parties. In the most part the caxnpaign lias net liad any real surprises other than possibly the success which David Lewis for the NDP party, lias registered as lie enters lis first ellection as leader of lis party. The NDP causelias neyer fared as well on a national basis as in tliis eleetion. It may very well pay dividends witli increased represent- ation in the Federal House. Locally tlie campaign lias been somewhat typical. There are no real issues and fromn the Conservatives and Liberals it lias been attack, and counter attack over the leadership given Canada over the past four years by Pierre Trudeau. The Liberal candidate liolds to present govern- ment policies with some modifications whlle tlie Conserva- * tive candidate lias recently opened for some cliange. Nationally tlie policies of tlie two older parties run quite parallel and often wlien citing policy we are fed a *deal of political aims and tlie mechanics of implementation and actual employmenit is left out. Even the NDP course today is not a distinct difference from tliat being carried eut. Only tlie Liberals can be judged for performance and in actual fact tliis judgement is in a somewliat narrow channel In many cases government lias to cope witli factors under which itflias ne control or llmited control. Tlie sale of wlieat is an example. Aithougli Canada now enjoys its greatest sales the fact depends greatly on world demand ratlier than Caniadian Government policy. Unemployment is another area wliere goveramnents do not have an ail empowered lever to create jobs. Tlie private sector is "tlie main tlirust. But government does have a responsibility in establishing a viable atmosphere in which tlie private business sector can operate. International' con- ditions also affect omr employment condition and govern- ments,.are iimited te negotiation only. [ n the past- four years the governixent of Canada lias made some inroads to wliicli it can hold fullI daim. Itflias made a move in taxation wliicli needed revision. This, liowever, e,; an -unpopular field but Benson, tlien Minister of Finance, very ably brought about ne eded change after giv- ing Canadians every cliance to present tlieir views. In tliat relief was given lower income brackets it was necessary to* increase taxation in areas wliere tlie funds were available. There is no way around tliis and it does create discord. There was need for claige in taxation and most liave to agree with the principles followed even thougl ifi maye hurt at times. The Quielec issue is a lot dloser to being settled today than four years ago. It is not a mnatter whicli can bc legislated 'into agreement but one tliat requires change of attitudes and this will take years. Tlie' government also establislied sovereignty in the Arctic wîtli very littie hassel witli our neiglibours to 'tlie soutli. In social security (baby bonus) the governxment made tlie first move to be more selective ratlier tlian universal. Here again tlie move was needed but not one that would gain overaîl approvalI as it again w*as assistance to tlie poor and reduction to tlie more affluent. ThÈe;e las beent a co-ordinafion of.,social security legislationwhicli 1as bieen at loose efids. The introduction of white papers and public parii pation in discussion was. introduced by Trudeau and lis government. This procedure, is now being well instituted by the Ontario'governmient witlitlie creation of select com- mittees on a wide range of provincial matters. Only tlie name lias been dlianged. Iti s your clioice this coming Monday, October 3th. Use it well. Be sure to vote. WITHHOLD THEIR FEES Arecent referendum by 40,000 Ontario university students, not lncluding those at McMaster wlio do- not yet belong to the Ontario Federation'of Students, sliowed tliat tlie vast majority are willing to witlilold their fees tliis year in protest against average in<creases of $10)0. Tlie results are unlikely to pressure the governuient into rescinding tlie increase since Queen's Park lias the support of liardpressed taxpayers wlio believe tliat students who benefit directly sliould hear a larger proportion of the costs. Obviously student fees-$58,5 for university andt teacliers college students, $250 for community, college, and nursing students - represent only a miniscule percentage of the costs for facilities, teacliing, libraries, supplies and se on. The fee increase was expected to raise $23 million, a trickle wlien applied to the total net expenditures of $674 million. The referendum could be useful, liowever, if it per- suades Jack McNie and lis ministry of colleges and uni- versities to take' another look at the loan and grant system. At the same time that tlie gevernment increased tlie fees, it also budgeted less money than last year for loans and grants and cliangedý the rules so, that a student must borrow $200 more on a boan to get a gsrant., B-UBSIDIES., A WAY 0F LIFE in a recent speech Minister of Revenue Allan Gross- man made a statement which was thouglit-provoking - and U thouglit disturbing.. Mr, Grossman was defending the principle of Fub-, siedpubliceliousing. And te just 'ify itlie listed a long ine of areas wliere government subsidizes tlie public. In e4fect lie Was saying subsidy is now an accepted fact of public life'and -we sliouldin't be concerned about it. - Then the minister gave lis list of examples wliere tliere is now government subsidy. -It incbuded lieabtli, of course,, tlien transportation, agriculture, welfare, pensions,. education and ether areas covering a broad spectrum of life. He could also include most industry, smaîl businesses as weIl as tle newspaper you are now reading. -1 The statement was thouglit provoking in that if you want te carry it furtlier you end up with a startling ist of fields in whidli government la lianding out money. Certai nly few people must realize just liow deepby government is into our lives-and, what massive amount of money ht is paying eut. Where it la disturbing and very disturbing is in the bland acceptance. Mr. Grossman's statement, of coursp, ex- emplifies tliis., He was net showing concern about the meney lie intended te spend. Just concern tliat people wouldn't bec cncerned about liim spending it. He was accepting tle fact that today the atate dees ahlbiout and sliould aliell eut everywhere and toe evrybody. And in this, ef course, lie is net at ail abone. He expresses a gA.nerally îeld viewpoint today. Reably can you go along like this? Essentially wliat we are doing now ia ep;ratinig with agovernment system of spending, more than governing. Most pertinentjy. it is spending without ainy rea~I criteria. W.
