and this is but one exarnrle of the chaotic condition in the fiscal field. and which appears to be get- ting worse.

“The shots report." said Premier Campbell, “drew attention to this situation. and it was hopcd by the Dominion as wcli as bv the gov- ernments of the majority of the provinces that the consideration of that report would have led to some solution of this groivingiy chaotic condition. Unfortunately, however. no consideration was given to its implementation. As Dcminton rev- enue necessities became increas- ingly urgent. the situation JCCIIIIIE worse in that respect, and the dif- ferenccs bet-ween the provinces be- came aggravated as t-he general scale of taxes increased.
