License fees on lower- priced 'cars and the gasoline tax will be cut, Budgets will be balanced and provincial debt reduced by immediate increases in succession duties, income tax on wealthy individuals and the corporation profits tax. 2. Fair prices for farmers and con- sumers will be obtained by placing the monopolistic milling, packing, canning and processive industries under public | ownership. Evictions and foreclosures on farm property will be prohibited. The province will gradually take over farm mortgage debt at low interest, 3. Fair wages and working condi- tions will be guaranteed through col- lective bargaining. Employers will be compelled by law to negotiate with the representatives of unions chosen by their employees. Severe penalties will be imposed: on employers for in- timidation, discrimination and the use of spies. Company unions will be pro- hibited, The use of injunctions in labor disputes will be abolished. 4. Education will be extended with equality of opportunity for all in town and country through an extensive sys- tem of scholarships, By adequate grants to the municipalities, the pro vince will assume a larger share of the burden. 5. Free health services will be pro- vided by a system of state medicine and hospitalization. i 6. The province will deal with the slum clearance problem by launching in town and country construction of at least 20,000 low-rental houses a year. Union wages will be paid and the pro- fits of private enterprise eliminated, - 7.
