MONDAY, Ann. :1, mo. Budget Forecasts

' According ‘to the Ottawa correspondent of Ibo Financial Timer, Finance Minister DUN- !NING’s budget speech w.ill be set to the tune of higher taxes and lower tariffs. The latter were promised by Liberal campaigners in the federal election contest, but the promise was accompan- ied by the assurance that lower tariffs and 1p\v- er taxes went hand in hand, We shall soon see how this prophecy works out.

According to the Post writer- an increase in the sales tax from (1 to 7 per cent. has been ser- iously c011sidere(l but doubts are held as to the effectiveness of such a move as a revenue pro- ducer.

The income tax, however, is to be “stepped up." Calculations have been made as to the in- crease i11 revenue which would result from a re- duction of the L'Xt'lll]1li<)l1 from $2,000 to $1.500 for married per.-ons and from $1,000 to $750 for single. This cliaiige is being seriously considered; also a cut in the e.\-eniption for dependents. Like- wise tlu- lllQlli'l‘ hracltets of the i11come tax are under scruti11_v. l’:11‘ticul:1r attention is being paid to the gaiiiiiig of more revenue from those with so-called t111ea1'11ed inconics. This division in in- comes was made by the ll1«:NN1;TT Government and is lilcel_\' to ly.-cmiie more Ill.'ll‘l\'Ctl after the 'fortl1coining liiiilget. Postage rates are very much under fire. The rates are likely to he stepped up all along tl1e li11c with emphasis on the second and third class categories.

Instead of wliitliolding reductions in the rates of dut_\' lllltlt'I‘ the Britisli preferential sche- dule until the 1937 Imperial conference, the Government, it is predicted, will make a _gesture toward freer trade in the forthcoming budget. The preferential t:1ritf on textiles, particularly on c0ttrin<_ will be cut. Other tariti reductions will E1ppl_\' to grisuilinc, steel products, and a wide range of raw iuntcrials a11d implements of pro- duction used by such industries as automobile, furiiiture, m:1_s:.'1zi11e p11lilisl1i11.g- leather goods, etc.

There will he a substantial list of increases_ in the llllt?l'lllClllIll& tariff because of the L’. S. trade agrceiiieitt. \\'hc11 the intermediate tariff was extciided to the K5. it was found there were numerous items on the free list, such as cut flowers, potatoes. etc. The L'. S. govcrlnncnt was asked to selcct the itcnis in which it was par- ticularly intcrcsted and bind them under the pact. ‘Apart from there items, the t,)tta\\';1 go\'<‘rnn1?11t retained :1 free hand to a.lju.-t duties as the need arose.

the amount of pension, the ability of the child- ren to aid their parents under the provisions of the ‘Parents Maintenance Act’ has been taken into consideration by the Commission.

"There is an opinion held in some quarters that the Old Age Pensions are being paid to per- ‘sons who do not urgently need the money and, therefore should not be in receipt of the grant. It is not the function of the Old Age Pension Commission to laud or criticize the“ Act, but to administer its Provisions justly and impartially. We would, therefore, point out that while it is a ‘fact that there are a number of pensioners that

This Colony would be glad to be relieved of the problem which the frequent advent. of runaways from

difficult. and fugitives not only come to Trinidad but are constantly going across the border of Braz;l to Para, or to Puramarlbo 1n Dutch Guiana. It. was an exasperated lfiraz official who remarked. In an lntervlew with an American news- paper correspondent the other day, that he thought “the French dam, J care whether the men get away or not." They are a nuslarice to us as to all upon whom they inflict them- selves, and there 15 certainly no reascn why we should wlsh to help them avoid recapture. On the con- trary, if the French were to negSo- tlntc or establish a. procedure by which they could be quickly taken off our hands by some regular pro- cess of law, ft would be a relief to this Government and the public a.l1ke,—'I‘rlnldad Guardlan.

GETTING HEARING AHJS THAT ARE SATISFACTORY

one of the m1stake.s«phys1el1m.s, lncludlng myself. seem to be mak- mg )5 ln stating that certaln tn- dlvlduals are deaf when, as a mat- ter of fact. they may have some degree of hearing. We are told that when there is partial deafness only we should say that he or she is “hard of hearlng."

As a matter of fact hard of hear- ing is a. more correct method of deserlbtng the condltlon. Besides. when we thus descrlbe 3 patient’; condltlon, thre is not the same “opelessness about lt.

It ls stated that there-are only 50,000 really deaf people in the whole United states, with about the same proportion to populatlon In Canada. But the number or hard of hearing (partly deaf) ls hund- reds of thousands.

The fact. that many of those who are hard of hearing can be helped by hearing aids is very gratifying, because an individual who hears little 1 - nothing of conversation, music, or voices on screen, radio or stage is apt to become moody or melancholy.

However there appears to be dif- ferences in the amount of help that these hearing aids can glve and differences also in the service rendered by the different; manu- facturers. Ycu can readily see that If an fndlvldual, hard of hearing, spzncls money for a hearing aid which become; unsatlsfacory ln 1: short time. or ft‘ the manu- facturer gives poor service when the aid needs repairing, then he 13 apt to belleve that. all the hear- ing aids are 1ltt‘.e lf any good.

In Great Britafn the National Instltute for the Deaf ls doing valuable work ln protecting the publlc against fraud. It has lsued for the lnformatlcn of the "deaf" a booklet entitled “The Choice of Hearing Alds."

The deaf are advised 1n the first lr ance to the medical advice as to whether an aid 1; likely to be beneficial. The Institute maintains a list of firms on which the deaf can rely for guidance and fair deallngs. These firms have agreed to allow an extended trial at home of any instrument subjsct to pay- ment of only 5 percent. cf its value. Thus the deaf one avoid belng gul- led by misleading advertlsments and circulars firms who re- fuse this home trial and who de- cllne to make any adju.tment 1f the aid so‘d proves unsatisfactory. The Society for the Hard of

Hearing. New York City, will give similar service to those value and servlcs,
