The Dunning Budget

- Queen's County's junior representative in Parliament, the Hon. CHARLES A. Duuumo, held the spotlight yesterday I-lis May-Day Budget was not his first—he delivered a

--c Budget speech under the first l\'lACl\'l-JNZLE KING Government—hut it was his first as the success- or to the seat won in last fall's federal election by Mr. J. J. LARABEE. Mr. LAitAnci-5, politically speaking, is no longer with us; but his works follow him, and it is due to the successful appeal which he made to the electors that Mr. DUNNING now occupies his present seat in Parliament. There is something deliciously ironic in this sitti- ation, for much of Mr. LAaAsEE’s achievement at the polls was due to the effective manner in which he ‘rung the changes on the alleged in- iquitous high taxes of the BENNETT Govern- ment. Mr. l_.ARABE.E, it will be recalled, was par-

sda-Ut_1ited_ States agreement. The very fact of admitfmg the United State: to the benefit: of our intermediate tariff produced that result." -

Other phases of ‘the DUNMNC. Budget are covered at length in the extensive Canadian Press reports appearing in today's Guardian.

ticularl_\' eloquent in dealing with the iniquity

of the Sales Tax. .\Ir. DL'.\'.~:iNc, his successor,

not only undertook to defend the Sales Tax in Parliament yesterday. but boosted it by another

1" two per cent. And he invited the taxpayers to pay up cheerfully. in the hope and expectation that within another twelvemonths he would come within a hundred million dollars of implement- ing the Liberal promise of balancing the budget. j Tins being one of the most striking features of the l)L'.N.\'1z\‘t.' budget, let us see how it works out on the calculation made by Mr. LARABEE t, in the election campaign and in the Legislature _, in 1935. The then rate of 6 per cent., Mr. LARA- “ BEE figured, meant a sales tax of $42.50 paid annually by every family in Prince Edward Is- land. He based this calculation on the assump- tion that an average family would purchase at least $750.00 of goods during the year. By in- creasing this tax to 8 per cent Mr. LARAai-:E's successor has imposed an arlded tax burden. un- der this one item alone. of $15.00 on every fam- ily in Prince lirlwzirrl island. Calculated on Mr. LARABEFXS estimate of twenty thousand families, this means an additional tax of $300.ooo—twice the amount of subsidy increase obtained by the i\lAc.\ln.LA.\' Liovernment—wl1ich the people of this Province must pay, to help Mr. DUNNING implement the election obligations of the MAC- xi-:.\'z1i: Kmc Government, whose interests Mr. LARABEI2, as a Liberal candidate, so materially advanced by denouncing the BEN NETT. sales tax! In addition, Mr. DUNNING has increased corporation income and other taxes, the total in- creases amounting altogether to some $29.oo0.-

3 per cent flat and the maximum excise tax t F250, provided for customs exemptions up to

cut excise duty on Canadian brandy from $4.00 to $3.00 per gallon. Altogether. he has made 104 reductions and 12 increases in tariff items.

Other Budget Features

Countervailing duties—-—dear to Mr. DUN- N1.\'c.'s hear1—are imposed in the case of pota- toes. eggs, and cut flowers. The potato tariff is of particular interest to this Province, and it will be welcomed as an improvement on the terms obtained under the Washington treaty by Prime .\linister l\'i\‘u. Mr. Kim; generously gave our .-\inerican neighbors the intermediate tariff rate on potatoes and other farm commod- ities. \\‘hen he got home he discovered that there was no intermediate potato tariff, and that his precious treaty left Canada's market wide open to .»\mcrir:in table stock producers. it is to recti- fy this situation that l\lr. DuNNiNr.'s counter- vailing duties have been imposed. 011 eggs and potatoes the duties will now be the same as those imposed against similar Canadian produce by any country desiring to export to Canada. Auto- matically, the duty on American eggs now goes to lo cents a dozen, and on potatoes to 75 cents 1 a lll.ll'l(ll'Ctl\\'(‘lglll. What Uncle Sam will say about this change remains to be seen. In the meantime, it is interesting to note Mr. DUN- NiNi;'s complaint that the BENNETT Government, by reducing -or abolishing intermediate tariffs, had ‘Iweakened Canada's bargaining position" in respect of these commodities at Washington. A Liberal’ Finance Minister denouncing lo\v Con- scrvative_ tariffs must have been an amusing spectacle to Mr. BENNETT in Parliament yester- day. And that word “bargaining" . . . l , ' Another budget feature of particular inter- " eat here is the tax of one half the ordinary cor- ‘ ration raie—or 7'/3 per cent, on investment ildin companies wholly owned by non-resid- These companies heretofore have paid a .4100 filing fee to the Dominion Government.

LUMP IN BREAST HA‘? OB MAY NOT! Bl CANCER '

A surgeon friend of mine told me oi three women coming under his care within is week in which the outstsndlns Symptom .wIs a lump in the breast. All were put forty years of age and all three were im- medlately afraid ting. the lump was

cancer .

The first put off doing about it a. couple of months before coming to the cancer clinic for ex- amlnstion.

The second, motoring with her family on I holiday to Olllfomln, did not discover the lump until they were about three days on their Journey. Like most mothers she didn't tell her husband or family as she didn't want. to spoil their holiday. However she worried and worried all the time she was aw -, and on arrival home rushed to her physician to learn the truth.

The third case after noticing the lump decided to think no more of it for a. week. At the end of the week it was still present and if anything a little larger. A week later it was I little lIrger Ind was causing some pain. She went next day to the cancer clinic for exam- lnation.

What did the eissmination of these women show?

for the removal of the lump revealed that not one of the three cases was cancer. All three had what is known as I cyst. which was removed without difficulty, Ind the patient was home in about a week's time.

The point about the above it that some women when they discover they have a lump in the breast be- come panic stricken but are afraid to consult their physician often lo.ing valuable time should the lump be cancer, and doing 9. great. deal of harm to their nervous system. In fact. the shock to the nervous system may last for years or life.

on the other hand there are other women who, when a lump occurs. tell themselves that it can't be serious, because may know or have heard of a. number of women with a. lump in the breast which either disappeared or gsve no trouble. While this is true no woman can afford to take the chance because if the lump is cancer and is not removed before it has spread to other parts of the body nothing can be done to save the patient. If taken in time death from cancer is preventbd.

In view of the fact that any lump in the breast may be cancer and that the knowledge of exactly whether or not it is cancer is so vital. 8. women is not fair to her-
