OTTAWA and Small Business Bring back the volunteers By KENNETH MCDONALD Whatever happened to' volunteers? Remember how people used to volunteer volunteer for community services? services? Some still do, but mpst expect to be paid - thanks to the all-intrusive state. "I pay taxes. Why should I do it?"..."I give up my time. The state should pay me," South of the border volunteers are appearing, in some cities, but generally generally for the wrong reasons. The state's intrusion into the economy has been so extravagant that city administrations are collapsing - under the weight. They're running out of money which has •been spent op unrealistic wages and pensions, on subsidized housing and on armies of social workers. So citizens are pitching in to provide services the cities can no longer afford. Sweeping streets, helping 1 schools, working in ^diaries, carrying out neighborhood night watch patrols - it all adds up to a genuine community effort. A member of the Canadian Canadian Federation of Independent Independent Business has suggested one way Canadian Canadian communities could recover some control over their own needs. His. idea: apply the same income tax credit to con- , 'butions towards local c auses that is now applied to contributions towards federal political parties (75 per cent of the first $100: 50 per cent of the next $450; one-third of all above $550; maximum deduction $500). This type of tax credit would be a much more powerful incentive than the present $100 allowable deduction from taxable income. 9 •• He also suggests removing removing the right of corporations corporations to deduct charitable contributions from their taxable income. It makes sense! Because, of the crushing burden of personal personal taxation, financial support of social agencies by institutions such as Big Government and Big Business has largely replaced replaced the donations of individuals. But what do the civil servants and corporate executives know about the true needs in Estevan or Rimouski? Deciding on ' the most deserving need should be left to the citizen. • • • A change from financing by institutions to financing by individuals and the replacement of paid functionaries functionaries with volunteers would do much to strengthen strengthen local communities. And hopefully, local financing would reduce the role of federal and provincial governments in social ^pending. People who do necessary necessary things for themselves are less inclined to cfëmand unnecessary things from the state. You've heard it before: . You've got to walk before you can run. It's true.
