Wh;Nol A Delegation?

As far as this Province is con- r'crHcd there are several self-exidenl farts relative to the proposed Fed- eral-Prnvilicial H c a l t h lnsurant-o plan ill The people unuld likc thr Provincial (lovcrnmeut to bring lhc Province under the plan: t'2l The Leader of the Hnvernnlenl and the ltlFYl'tlVW'x' nf his ('ahinct would lik" to he in a position to brim: forward the necessary legislation: l.'ll All members of the Legislature. irre- spective of party affiliations, would support the legislation; lit The pre- sent fiuaiulal condition of the Prov- lncp is not good enough to insure participation in the plan and its sal- lsfarinry administration: (Til if the llroxun-o us-re giycn its just sllarc of Federal grants there would he no t-liffirulfv in the way of participa- hon;

tfil 'l'hc l-'crlcral tiovcrnrnonl, up to this time. has shown no dis- position to treat the Province fairly and ln nrcnrt'lant't! with the t'on- federation pact.

in these rirrlun-zlanrcs and with the-.e facts in mind. would it not he adv-igahle for the Province in send s vnpreucvilatlyn delegation to Ot- tawa prcparrrl to demand from Fed- eral aullioritics. not little tempnrarx hanr.ioul:- but a thorough recognition of nur rights as a Province of (lan- adaf This delegation would be head-

Neufnunrlland. which has been -t part of tianada less than a decade. is confidently looking forward in a new deal as the result of the find- ings of a Royal (iommission which is now lnnuiring into the matter. This inquiry wa s provided for in Newfoundland": terms of union. Pre- mier Smallvmod has made no secret of his hope and trust --that the Provinces finances will be cnrichcd by at least an extra Still million an- nually from Federal funds. in view of the long neglect that this Prov- ince llall endured at the hands of sum-essive Federal Governments. it is surely not unreasonable to expect at least enough to help us participate in the hcallh plan and make some llltl4'll nr-cdcd progress in the field of education.

This is an urgent matter and om- ulltrli ehould be pressed by every 'vwaw- at the disposal of the Prov- It is not a question of party politics at all. and It should not be treated as such. If the Conservatives were in office at this time. they nould be up against the same diffi- mlty that confronts Mr. Matheson and his Cabinet.

Another Bermuda Meeting

The meeting between Prime Min- ister Macmillan and Prime Minister Sff. Laurent will not attract as much attention as that between the British and American leaders. it is of some importance. nevertheless, and it in not. difficult to hazard a guess as to what the main topics will be. Mr. St. Laurent appear: to be concerned over Britain's intention in join a west European free trade anach- tlon:an.thet-alsnodoubt thstsnme discussion will take place on that subject. Mr. St. Laurent will plead for some consideration to be iiovvn thb cunt:-y's export truck. and Mr. Msanlhn will assure him that nothing that can possibly be avoided will be done but CI!IIh'l cont-

Since. hnucvcr, the present meeting is for the purpose of constructive consul- tation and not for the bcuailing of past events. this unhappy episode will likely be given a subordinate place on the agenda.

Pcrliaps the must si4,;mlia-ant thin: about this mcctiu: is that it is being held. it is evidence of Can- ada's growing stature in international affairs: and it will help to emphasize the importance of dircclill: the new Canadian influence into sound and well considered channels of diplo- niat-y.

The Auction Block

A Social l'rcrht lunmhpr nf l';n'- liament is quoted as saying; "cps-rial paymcrvts made by Social ("rr-dit tlovernment-z in Alhcrta and Rrlusll tiolumhia in their I-itizr-its spell the death-knell of the old-linc parties." There is no doubt whatcvr-r that in those two Provincial fields the So- rrcds have stolen a march on their rivals; since. of course. a ';ixc-;ln'ay program. even a small one. that actually under way is likely in be more allt'artwe than one that is subject to thr ”lfs". and "ands" and ”buts" of political fortunes.

The thought that the allt'llnll- block is to be the symobl of nation-41 election campaigns from now on is not a particularly pleasant one; hut there is no mistaking the sign: pointing that way.

EDlTORlAL NOTES

Mr. Neil A Matheson. M.P.. nill have public approval of his sugges- tion that part of the Provincial Building he sci aside as a n;umm.l shrine. At least it would draw at- tentinn to the fact that this island played an important role in the founding of ("-maria. although it has received little ennllgll by way of tangible benefits from the associa- tion.

In lhr first place, the American

tax-parer only has to pay tax on . srr-nndlv. l

Here. we get an exemption of H.000 for father. and the same for

As it stands today. the federal govern- meal is an Indian giver; it gives Ils tha baby bonus with one hand. and takes it back with the other up the form of reduced income tax exemption-

flldcr cluldren and other depen- Ilrnts are covered by an exemp- tion of only M00.

Thus we ave three levels of per- -umal exemption: 31.000. 3400 and Sl5tl The US. government grants exemptions on the more logical basis of S600 tor the taxpayer him- self or herself. and likewise 3600 for each and every dependent. TAX ON TAX

Then we come to the second. point. of what is lrur lncnmr.

The US. federal government re- uarda sums paid as taxes in other levels of governments as not true net income. Llkewisvr. ll treats in- terest. charges. srgulng that if It demands income tax on the indivi- dual's receipts of interest from his investments. by adding such rev- enue tn the tax-pay:-r's taxable in.

lax-payer to deduct from his tax- able income any sums which he had to pay out in Interest This cov- M-a Interest charges rm house mort-

ln Canada. in would pay ms

in income tax. But in the States. he would de-

I duct from his income the amount

which he paid in interest on his mortgage. in city taxes on his home in provincial fstatel tax on his pa

mat. in interest on his time-pun '

chases of furniture and tv receiver. er and nn his car licence. He could also deduct anything in excess of l per cent of his income spent in drugs.

There an various other provi- sions regarding the deduction of charitable donations. medical ex- penses and dues. which are more generous in the States. but we will disregard those for the example of this average family man.

After taking his permitted de- ductions. the American father. with income and expenses and do- mestic background comparable to that Canadian father. would pay about one-quarter of the llICOmF in. while the Canadian must. pay
