Our Farmers’ Meetings

The large and representative attendance at

the annual meetings of the various farm organ- izations this week is evidence of the keen in- tercst taken by those eitgagerl iri our basic in- dustry to improve [irotluction methods. Only by this means can progress he made, and the reputation 0f the Island lllllilllllillfll and en- hanced as the leading zigrirtiltliral province of the hlaritimes. _ The meetings of both the Swine Breeders’ f and the Sheep Breeders‘ Associations held on Tuesday and Wednesday revealed unnnimityt of opinion as t0 breeding for particular types, The swine breeders apptnirril to give serious attention to the Opllllfllls of .\lr. ‘I. \\'.

Members of the .'\.<§L7Cl.'llif\ll, giving their own experience with both types, agreed with Mr. Graham.

As a result of the shvep hrr-erlers‘ meeting, it is very likely ldsuul farmers \\ill no longer waste time trying tn tI'.’\t'I"]\ a "ivooly-facetl" type of shrep. .\Ir.

Despite the popularity of the Suffolk breed H some 0f the Western Provinces, this variety 0f sheep will not gain in popularity in this Province as a result of .\Ir. Graham's com- mentl on the breed. lle reminded his hearers that the Co-Ojierative \\'ool tirowers’ Associa- lon at Lennoxville, I’. Q., did not want wool vontaining black fibres and that the importation of Suffolks would only bring into the Prov- ince more of the very type of wool the Cn- Qperative Growers were ll'_VIllE' to abolish.

The educational value of the farmers‘ meet- ings II something which cannot be appraised in terms of dollars and cents. Both values are in- ttrlocked. There is n0 doubt that financial values will follow as a result of the educational value received. At all meetings there appeared a Nllilltion of the value of co-operation. It was reflected in the nature of the resolutions passed.

Probably the most striking feature of the meeting: was the consciousness of the members, ll revealed in their utterances, that Island farin- trl must work in unison with Canadian farmers throughout the other Provinces and that the desires of Island farmers could only be effective- ly brought before the attention of the Dominion Government, through the farmers’ national org- anization, the Canadian Federation of Agricul- lire.

Taxation Inequalities

I.

Taxation grievances have reached such a Ohge under the present setup in Canada that‘ two Royal Commissions are now holding in- vestigations into the matter. The Progressive Conservative party has very definite policies on this subject, as is evidenced from the following official summary, which indicates the aware- ness of the party leaders to present day needs and problems:

First and foremost, it is emphasized as the duty of every Canadian to hear his full share of the ivartime tax burden. The party is, however, firmly opposed to the principle of more than one tax on the same income, and it undertakes to removr, as rapidly as possible, the present unfair double taxation of income when returned to pmver. It undertakes also to revise and simplify the present obsolete and unscientific tax structure and consolidate the tax collecting authorities, and to increase, for those in the lower income tax brackets, the in- come tax exemptions to permit a higher stand- ard of living. lt is jilcrlgeil also to see that the power to tax is returnctl to Parliament, rather than left in the hands of officials, so that the taxes borne by the people are those inlposcrl by their elected represciilati\'es, To that cild it is proposed to rclnovc the present abuses of iii- Qllie tax atllliillisirflliofl by ensuring that:

Assessments must be made promptly and accurately.

Assessments itinst ho final Government is concerned, except in cases fraud.

There must he an end to rgnaltics and in- terest charges due t0 ilcpartitieutal (lelays.

There must be an end to arbitrary assess- 1115.5, based on the discretionary’ rulings of of- Iicials.

There must be a simplified procedure for ilppeals 0n assessments by (‘very taxpayer. This is but one phase of a IllZlfly-Sidtfl all round party policy streamlined to meet PYCSBIII’ , day needs. As such it will make a wide appeal i to all who believe in sound and efficient gov- ._ gmment “of the people, for the people, and ‘ by the people."

In Store For Germany President Roosevelt in his address to Coli- gees 0n his return from the Crimea Confer- ence has made crystal clear what tinconditional Iiirrender means for (icriuany. It means the temporary control of Germany by Great ‘Brit- ain, Russia, France and the lnitctl States. » . Each of these nations will occupy and control a '5‘ gdpgrgteizone of Gcrtnrmr — and the adminis-

German general staff which has so often shat- tered tne peace of the world.

It means that Germany will have to make reparations in kind for the damage which it has done to the innocent victims of its aggression.

“We do not want the German people to starve, or to become a burden on the rest of the world," the President said.

“Our objective in handling Germany is simple-—it is to secure the peace of the future world. ‘ Too much experience has shown that that objective is impossible if Germany is al- lowed to retain any ability to wage aggressive ivar.

“That objective will not harm the German people. On the contrary, it will protect them from a repetition of the fate which the general staff and" Kaiserism imposed on them before, and which Hitlerism is now imposing upon them again a hundredfold. It will be removing a cancer from the German body which for gen- erations has produced only misery and pain for the whole world." What the ‘Allies intend in to perform a major operation 0n Germany, and President Roosevelt is confident as to the result. That is good news indeed. But whether the operation kills or cures the patient is of less moment than the need of making sure that with its maniacal tendencies it never again gets the chance of running amuck.

In order to give constructive sug- gestions for Improvement we must try to get a true picture of our eco- nomlc llfe. Here we have a prov- lnce singularly favored as regards position, soil, climate and people. We should and could have a large export: trade, but at resent we Import one and one- alf times more tonnage than we export. This Is even more serious than it sounds since almost all our Imports are light, finished articles tn con- trast to our heavy exports, and our excess of Imports over exports Is on the Increase.
