Farm Income Tax Payments,

OTTAWA, May s-Q (Special)- Prince Edward Island farmers paid a total o! 034.868 in ‘ tax to

the Dominion treasury in the {up cal year of 1046-47, according to figures issued today from the Statistical Branch of the Depart- ment of National Revenue. Farm income tax figures reveal- ed that duo in "tougher" collection methods, the Dominion which took

its 1046-46, garnered in 014,857,033 or Just double the amount of the previous year in 1046-47. Comparative figures of income tax payments from farmers by

farm population of P, E. I. paid $24,868 for 1906-47. that of Nova Bcotiu paid $62,117, New Bruns- wick $38,493 and Quebec with ll-é populstion of more than three mil- lion. paid only 094.707. Income tan returns from Quebec seem sswu- ishingly small, officers of the Sta- tistical Branch admit, particularly in view of the fact that Quebecs parliamentarians insist that “agri- culture is the basis of prosperity of our Province."

They point out. however. that in rural Quebec farm families are much larger than in any other part, of the Dominion. Tax ex- emiption is hence quite properl, claimed by Quebec farmers on sc- count of the largo numbers oi‘ children.

Hardest hit by Dominion Ln- corne tsx are the farmers of the Prairies. In 1946-47. farmers of Saskatchewan paid upwards o. $5,500,000 in Federal income tax imports; those of Alberta nearly $4,000,000, _w_h_ile“ those of Ontario and Manitoba paid in approxi- mately $2,000,000 each.

There are no suah things in the financial economy of either total- itarian or democratic governments as free services to the people, Premier Stuart Carson of Manitoba -told a large eudlcuice at the Charlottetown Hotel last night in the course of an address which three months sgo he promised Premier J.

Seven of the nine Provinces of.‘ Canada are appcsllllr to the Do- minion Govcrr-neiit against the ruling of the Transport Commis- sion on freight rates because the ruling is so obviously wrong on points of fact the: it can only be settled, under the statute, by pol- itlcsi interference, declared Hon. Stuart Gar-son, Premier oil Manl- toba, in an address before the Charlottetown Rotary Club yes- terdsy.

Under the law there was noth- ing else fer the Provinces to do but to throw the issue "on the imp of the Government”.

Mr. Garson spoke to an excep- tionally large luncheon audience. Seated near him at the front table Wu Premier J. Walter Jones. Rntarlan K5. Rulers pre- sided

There exists, Premier Gsrson said, a wide misunderstand-lug as to what the freight rates problem. actually is. 1t has been said, very simply, that it is only l. question of distributing iihe burden o! any increases which may ba granted; that the con of labor, materials. etc. have gone up a great deal since too: and therefore that an increase in freight rates was un- avoidable. "Rom the standpoint of the Provinces concerned we have never admitted this." up.

_ Gurson said.

Big Turnover

“We have never admitted that there is any necessity" for this in- crease, because while it is quite true that the cost of materials arid labor have gone up in that interval, it is also true that the turnover of the railways has in- creased by a very much larger sum. In the: period the freight rates have increased by $320,000.- 000 a year whereas the costs at- tributable to vragss and material rose $165,000,000. That loaves a,‘ balance of $165.0t§),0(li to meet; all the other cost so that lg is not by taken for granted that there was

In his opening remarks, Premier Garson sold his ‘friend, Premier Jones, lied not only driven Adam Borsk out of Charlottetown but also out of Winnipeg and to the United States where he was now operating a laundry. Premier Gur- son said he was glad Premier Jones had been able to do this for 51:. Borsk had caused this people of Manitoba s. lot of trouble.

The Manitoba Premier said the socialism was the iiheory that capitalist nations were responsible forsll modern wars be- cause or their competitive struggles for foreign markets. But Sir Norman Angel lied given the lie to that argument by mowing that World Wars I and I1’. hnd been caused by nations in which the principle ruled that slate was supreme.

Premier Carson said all action leading to totalitarian regimes end the resultant loss of all personal liberties was preceded by/cieprcsssd human tihought. Ho mentioned the influence upon European economic philosophy of the German philoso- pher, Fichizr. l-Is attributed the totéiiitarlisn ‘doctrines of Hitler and Stalin to the philosophy of Hegel of whom Karl Marx was an

any need for an increase at all. Indeed, that was the whole point of this inquiry."

‘Iliere was, Mr. Carson said, an "atmosphere of unreslity" the whole matter s: i: the 'Boerd of ‘Transport Commissioners. The Board had authority to deal only with what‘ are called standard rates, which m; in effect one maximum or cell- ing rates. “It is underneath this ceiling that the rsihvays have to fix the actual rates, and these are dependent in great measure on the amount of competition in the particular areas in which they are applied Tlherefore the rates act- ually established are, in s great majority o! cases, less than the rates which are authorised."

Where the rates fall most hea- vily are in the Maritime; and Western Canada. Mr. Garcon pointed out. In the Central Prové‘ incoe. where there is the greatest amount of competition. the rains mus‘: of necessity be kept low. ‘In other words sn undue shsra of any general freight rate increase must be borne by the Maritime and Western Provlncei."

Up til! 1K1}, Mr. Gsrson said. the whole question of freight rstas was detormlnsd by the Federal Cabinet. The rates were “ln politics up to their neck". and the situation was not s happy one.
