Similar experiences can be eulled from | many other branches of organized _ railway work. For exâ€" ample, Hon. G. D. Robertson, Minister of Labor and for many years viceâ€"president ‘?f the Order s s s dn n 3072 of Railroad Telegraphers, says: "During the first ten years of this railway‘s operation it exâ€" perienced most serious and difficult problems of a financial nature, and in my opinion, was quite“unable to seu ons 2C cte Ske mm‘ deal more liberally with its ployees than it did.

Adams, Betty McMilâ€" teacher Uigblights and Errors of the new Gov‘t Budget Miss Macphiail’s Weekly Letter. Once more the budget has been preâ€" sented to the House of Commons and like most budgets it has some encourâ€" aging and some discouraging . feaâ€" tures. The income tax wAs increased but the increase on smaller incomes was much greater than on larger incomes, A correspondent for the Otâ€" tawa Citizen worked it out ; on & $250 income there is an increase of Ne es 21 Oe Pn cmd â€" aging and some discouraging .

It is said that the Minisâ€" ter of Pensions and the Minister of National Defence did not know that EmE P mHn c OeE Sm ms ter of Pensions and the Minister of ; National Defence did not know that | this matter was being dealt with in ; the budget until they heard it read in | the House. The soldiers are much inâ€" censed and little wonder, The budget ; speech assured all and sundry that in the case of a conversion loan, conâ€"| tractual obligations made some years | ago would be respected; should‘ not | then contractual obligations made with soldiers be respected? It is true there are a few cases of returned men receiving large salaries who also ‘ have a pension ; in such cases there there could be no objection to the discontinuing of pension payment durâ€". ing the time the pensioner received a substantial salary. _ But the legislaâ€" tion as it stands is grossly unfair to the men physically wrecked in the Great War. A very large sum of monâ€" ey is being spent this year on the nonâ€"permanent force (volunteers); it would be very much more humane and sensible to use this money . for ‘um continuing of pensions to the deâ€" serving and needy. The corporation income tax rates were increased to 12%% and exempâ€" tions removed. A tax of 5% was levâ€" ied on interest collected in foreign currency on Canadian bonds, when that currency is at a premium in Canada, the tax becoming . effective April Ist. A 5% tax is to be collected also on all interest and dividends paid by Canadian debtors to nonâ€"residents. The sales tax remains at 6% but the exemptions are fewer. A special tax of 2¢ a pound was levied on sugar. Excise tax will in future be applied to auto tires and tubes at 5%; toilet articles and preparations, 10%. Exâ€" cise taxes will also be applied to maâ€" terials used in the brewing of beer, papers gnd fillers used in rollâ€"yourâ€" own cigertttes (I should judge at the instigation of the cigarette manufacâ€" turers) distilled spirits used in medâ€" [ioines. perfumes, extracts, etc., and proof spirits used in fortifying native iwlne. The stamp tax of 3¢ is now apâ€" plicable to cheques of any amount and the tax on postal notes is inâ€" creased from 1c to 3¢. There was |little change in the tariff. The total idcflcit in the budget is $155,122,000. A Royal Commission is to be apâ€" pointed to study the organization and working of our entire banking and monetary system. If the commission is a good cne and the examination thorough, the results will be very beneficial to Canadians generally. The plight of the farmer, so often advanced by us in the House and in the country, has been acknowledgod by the ‘stabilization of farm products‘ clause in the budget. It is not at all what we wanted. We wanted Canaâ€" dian money brought to a parity with the pound storling, which would autoâ€" matically raise the prices of farm products, increase the purchasing power of the farm community and in this way help lift the country out of the economic bog in which it is at present mixed. By the plan proposed, the British pound is to be valued at $4.60 when the sale of certain farm produc‘s is considered, that is, it is a bonus the amount of which is found by subtracting the day to day value of the pound from $4.60. The scheme is designated to help those exporting live cattle, hogs, bacon, hams, meats, poul‘ry, fresh and canned fish, tobacâ€" co, cheese, milk products, canned fruit and vegetables, maple products, \eggs and honey. _ But will it? It will certainly automatically asâ€" sist those who sell the products namâ€" ed and if the farmers had great coopâ€" eratives which handled and procesâ€" sed their own products, the benefit would accrue to the producer directâ€" ly. As it is there will be a long time lag at least and only experience will show whether or not it benefits the At best, the bonus will be paid out of taxation, which works out to mean that the producers will pay heavier taxes in order to pay some of themâ€" scelves a bonus. Contm!led inflation would have meant that the gov‘t put new money into circulation, issuving treasury bills or putting Dominion no‘es directly into circulation. We have much too little money in cireuâ€" lation for the goods ard services we require to distribute.. . The budget is altogether a deflationary oneâ€"higher taxes resulting in less revenue but docreased purchasing power on the part of the people, slashed expendiâ€" tures again resulting in lower wages and less purchasing power. While the expenditures of the inâ€" dividual, the municipality, corporaâ€" tion and even the province, must be kept within the bounds of income, or anticipated income, the Federal gov‘t is not governed by the same condiâ€" tions. The Federal gov‘t can make the 1 it out ; on & is an increase of ir, while on a milâ€" the increase is but money necdedâ€"engrave it, print it, whstyww‘mâ€"anduhmclear that the sovereign right of the state wwmeymwbemedforthe benefit of the people.

Mr Coote put the matter very clearâ€" ly before the House, as follows; "At a time like this we cannot rely any longer upon private initiative to put money into circulation. That means that the gov‘t must act and in this instance I refer to the Federal gov‘t which has control of the economic Mr Coote p ly before the a time like 1 longer upon POPWOw PBSDARAACCCIIC T I It has fuil control of finance, banking, currency and credit.

A 1% tax on $1000 income, 2% on the second thousand, three on the third This week we have had the priviâ€" lege of having W. Arnold PForster, of Great Britain, son of Rt. Hon. Arnojdâ€"Forster, at one time Secretary of State, and great grandson of the great Dr, Arnold, address the memâ€" bers of the House, or at any raite such numbers «of them as cared . to come to the Railway Com. room. Mr Arnold Forster was here to urge members of the Canadian House of Commons to organize a branch of the British Empire Peace Pederation deâ€" signod to promote disarmament and peace throughout the world. In Genâ€" eva in 1929, I had the pleasure of meeting this learned and enthusiastic young man. He was that year acting as secietary to Lord Robert Cecil, whom he holds in very high regard. The amount of energy he put into his four addresses yesterday was aâ€" mazing and inspiring. This man is an artist of repute. Most artists would not care to travel so intensively, lecâ€" turing and writing, in a cause that can scarcely be called artistic, vyet Mr Arnold Forster corsiders no price too great to pay for the securing of justice and peace. . He believes the situation in Enrope is very grave and that preventive action will need to be taken quickly. Should any of you have the opporâ€" turity of seeing Noel Coward‘s play, "Cavalcade," do seize it. It is particâ€" ularly well played and will, I am sure, do much for the cause of peace. The rsom in which we are working has been made very beautiful by the many gfts of flowers sent by memâ€" bers of the Commons to wish me ‘Many Happy Returns‘ of my birthday. T1 wish we could share their beauty and fragrance with you. Agnes C. Macphail House of Commons, March 25, 1933. The subject for Sunday‘s sermon was ‘Our besetting sin.‘ . There is something in each of our lives that would hinder us in our progress in our Christian life. Those who run in a race lay everything aside. that prize. Aud so must we if we would gain cternal life. We may think our besetting sin omly a trifling one, but scripture says "if we offend in one point, we are guilty of all." Our only hope is in the atonement on Calvary end faith in Jorus Christ whose blood cleansc.h us from sin. Miss Margaro. Watson returned to Lâ€".idox last week to write on some f her exams.
