Reviews oral increase in all other tax rates. The property owner too

has suffered an increase in his municipal tax burden.

"The second general observation is that quick relief from this load does not seem to be in the cards". Mr. Perry said. "The, largest single item in the Federal budget, defence, according to the most aiillioriintive information, can go on at the rate of 32 billion, or .iigiitly less, as long as there is a cold war and as long as we are prepared to play our part in meeting it. and it is a desperate- ly costly game. Our defence bill, for exanipio, is almost as much as rho expenditures of all the provinces and municipalities to- zcther. Here is an even more startling statement we will spend about as much on military aircraft each year. as we are xpfilldlilg on educating our child- ren. These are hard. cold and irngic figures, but we have put our hand to it. and there, is no turning back.

Furthermore, even if the Inter- national position did ease enouzh to allow some reduction in federal taxes. it is almost certain that the provinces and municipalities would step in to take up the slack.

There are all kinds of discour-

aging signs that the Atlantic”Prov- V

inces are a long way from the happy position of solving pro- vincial government and municipal tax problems.

The comparison of personal in- come per capita for the four At- lantic provinces with other prov- inces show the former at tiie bot- tom of the scale. The national average for 1953 was over 31200: Nova scotio. was about 5900. New

Brunswick s750. Newfoundland S650 and P. E. Island slightly low- er again.

While expenditure in all prov- inces took 7.3 per cent oi personal incomes, in Newfoundland the fig- ure was 13.7 per cent. New Stuns- wick 12 per cent, P. E. Island 11.0 per cent and in Nova Scotla 8.9 per cent. These are raiherdiscouraging iigures and are cited as evidence of the magnitude of the challenge facing government finance in this Part of the world.

TAKING RIGHTS

It is far from true that if the federal government returned to the Atlantic Provinces the taxing rights relinquished under the tax rental agreement, everything would be fine. It would appear that the lax rental mechanism precisely fits Your local needs. and there is every reason to believe that the opport- unity of entering into further Rlreement will be available on the '9-'lJiry of the present ones in 1957. The compensation under the agree- ments is twice. and in some cases three times the amount that could be raised from the rented tax resources by the provinciat Itoveminent, and In that respect. carry out tlle historic obligation as- -sured by the National government in 1867 of ensuring that all provinces share in the fruits oi Confedera-

ion.

GENERAL OBSERVATION

I would like to make the general ob-ssrvation that your overnmeni-S might foster a more so entific ap- Droach to their tax problems and ii izreater willingness to experiment, The personal property tax has survived only in the Maritiir: .Ul'm'lnces and iii-re it has been 'i.l'ihl I lingering death for the last fitty years.
