Suggests Pattem ,- Of Australia In Tax Dental Plan

Dlscuslng the new tax rental agreement in the Legislature yes- terday Mr. William Hughes. former Provincial Treasurer who complet- ed the first such agreement with the Dominion. said that he felt it should be paterned after the Aus- tralian system. '

in that part of the British Com- monwealth, he said, the lower in- come states received an amount to bring their overall income to par- ity with the wealthier states, but they were the only ones to receive anything. It was not an agreement with all states.

Mr. Hughes thought such agree- ments in Canada. should be based on the income of the Provinces and payments made to them on that basis. He noted that the average income, per capita, in Prince Ed- ward Island was only 8396 while the general average income in Canada was 8691- Only two Prov- iuces had per capita incomes high- er than that of the Dominion. they are British Columbia with case and Ontario with S800. He thought lilc future tax agreements should be grounded on a basic tax from the provinces to Canada.

in his opinion using only the rear previous to the tax rental payment year as a foundation year mr the increasing or lowering of the amounts over the guaranteed lhlllimllm was a "win or lose" pro- position for the Provinces.

Excellent Records Made In Red Cross Campaign

anded by

Division No. 5. Lt. John Richards. R.O.N., came out on top at the final report

meeting of the Charlottetown Red Cross campaign held last evening with 'l5.0- of its objective reach- ed. Thc highest team turned out to be No. 1'! (Division 3) of which the captain was Fred C. Decoste who had a high total of 277m. of his objective -- an outstanding re- sult. With many teams still un- reported the total amount collect- ed by the seven Divisions was 8!,- 260.li0 and the special Names re- port added to just 35,000.00 with several teams still to make re- turns. This adds up to the grand total of 38,260.80 collected to date on an objective of 315,000.

Major Macciillivray, the Char- lottetown chairman of the gen- eral canvass said he felt confident that all the canvassers. team cap- tains and division commanders would keep at it until they had satisfactorily mpleted the work

they had undertaken. The Provincial chairman. Mr. Edwin C. Johnstone, stated last

night that most of the districts in the three counties were fairly well organized under Mr. R. T. Henthomc. Prince. Mr. Gordon MacMlllan. Queens. Messrs. H. M. smith, Montague, and Melvin J. McQua.ld, Bouris. He intimated that returns would probably be slow coming in because of the condition of the roads at the present time. However, it felt en- coursged by the fact that several districts in Queens County had already completed the canvas and sent in returns showing consider- able gains over the amounts col- lected last year.

Climb In Gross National Product Important To P.E.l.

A rise or drop of Si billion in the value of the gross national product of Canada would mean an increase or decrease of approximately 5175.- 000 to this Province under the new tax rental agreement. The state- ment was made in the Legislature yesterday by Hon. W.E. Darby. Provincial Treasurer, in explaining the marines of gearing the annual payments to Prince Edward Island to the wealth of Canada and the population of this Province.

Despite the possibility of a drop in the national product value Mr. Darby felt that the agreement fav- ored this Province because the pre- ceding year only is taken as a base for payment. instead of the former method of averaging a three year period. This will result in an extra 3300.000 in the first year of the five year arrangement. -

Mr. Darby quoted figures to show that the value of the gross national product was climbing steadily and had made sharp advances since 1947. In that year the value was placed at over 13 billion dollars and the following year stood at nearly 16 billion. However. in 195i it had jumped to over 21 billion dollars.

The population of the Province is used as the base with the figure being multiplied by the percentage of increase in the, gross national product from year to year over the amount which is set as the mini- mum guaranteed payment.

Mr. Darby thought it was a pret- ty good agreement as a tax settle- ment but said he would be the first to agree that it would not be sat- isfactory if it were to be consider-

ed as a final settlement.

In relation to the agreement he

Owned by Ronald Barteaux of Clarence. N.S.. the animal brought 3900. Only once in the 11 years of the show has the price topped 81 a pound. -

The reserve champion. owned by Miss Iona Barteaux. brought 50 cents a pound. Average for the 129 steers auctioned is believed to be about 29 cents. compared to slightly more than 38 cents last year. c

Clearing lip lleeter Car Situation

Working round the clock the car-ferry Abegwelt has returned approximately 300 refrigerator cars and carloads of freight from Tor- mentine to Borden in the put 77 hours, it was learned yesterday.

Earlier this month ice conditions in the Northumberland Strait ser- iously hampered operations by the Abegweit. This resulted in a serious tie-up of freight and reefer cars at Tormentlne that were badly needed by Island producers for ex- port purposes.

special emphasis is now being placed on getting as many reefers to this Province as possible.

If the good weather continues there is every indication of rapid movement. and the situation should be cleared up in the next few days, officials of the Depart- ment of Transport stated.

High Tribute Paid To IIMDS ”Dayuga"

H.M.C.S. Cayuga under the com- mand of Lt. Commander Peter Cosh. son of Mr. and Mrs. Allan B. Cosh of this city has recently been termed as the best United Nation's ship fighting North Ko- rean and Chinese Communists by the south Koreans. ,

The destroyer Cayuga with her fleet number 210 painted in bold numerals on her side. is called "Two eighteen. number one shtp,". by the South Koreans.

United Nations liaison men in- formed the ship's officers that lifl protective work along with help- ing to cloths South Koreans had made the "Cayuga" a fairy god- mother to all the forces and ill- habltants of the U.N. held islands off the west coast of North Korea.

Officers and men of the Cay- uga recently collected clothes for poorly-clad Koreans on one of the islands. Aid has also been rendered to poverty stricken in- habitante.

This has caused untold admira- tion of the men and the ship by the South Koreans who in their native tongue. and pidgin English, have endeavoured to express their thanks to their benefactors.

committee Readings In The Lgislature.

Following the conclusion of the debate on the Draft Address yes- terday in the Legislature mem- bers got down to serious work on the large number of bills which are before the House for consid- eration at this session. Several were introduced and late in the afternoon the House resolved it- self into a committee and save second reading to several which had been presented ,. .aly.

Among those introduced yester- day werc an Act ,to amend an Act to Incorporate the Maritime Hoa- pltai Service Association, an Act to amend the Probate Act, an Act to amend the Mechanics Lien Act, an Act to Amend the Appeals Act. an Act to amend an Act to amend the Divorce Court Act. '

During the late afternoon Hon. Mr. A. ,W. Matheson..Minlstel' of Health and welfare and Acting Premier in the absence of Pre- mier J. Walter Jones, stated that it was necessary to get on with the bills and suggested that per- haps the members might. be de- tained past the traditional six p.m. adjourning hour. However. though several bills went through the committee stage and received second reading the House rose at the usual time.

Given second reading yesterday were ah Act 'to amend the In- terpretation Act, an Act to amend the Evidence Act. an Act to amend the Garniahee Act; an Act to amend the Habeas corpus and Certiorari Act, an Act to amend the Judgment and Execution Act, an Act to Amend the Judicature Act and an Act to amend the Trustee Act.

in connection with the Judica- ture Act Attorney General Wal- ter E. Darby. who piloted the bills through committee. said that the minor change in the holding of a session of the supreme Court in Georgetown from the second Tuesday in Novembe to the first Tuesday in that month was made because it was possible that the second Tuesday might be Armis- tice Day. Falling on a holiday it might create a situation where both the Grand and Petit Juries would be in the court on the same day instead of on successive days.

Maritimer Gives . Success Formula

MONTREAL. March 28 -(CP) -A Maritimer tonight told a group of Maritimers just what makes Maritlmers successful.

Murray R. Chlpmau. Montreal director of liiaclean-Hunter Pub- lishing Com-pany. told the Mari- time Women's Club of Montreal there are four reasons for the success story.

First. Marltimers have a respect for education rind, in many in- stances. make a. real sacrifice to acquire it.

Secondly. they succeed by tfnot having too much too soon."

Thirdly. they have a sense of responsibility and last. but not least, the Maritimer has the con- viction "that he must finally just- ify! himself to himself-his best set ."

Centennial Y's Men's Club Elects Officers

Warns Ofalleavily Increasing Debt

Severely critical of the debt of the Province Dr. W. J. P. Mac- Milian yesterday said in the Leg- islature that by the time the new tax rental agreement with the Government of Canada ex- pires the debt will have risen to s30,000.000. According to an ans- wer tabled yesterday by the Pro- vincial Treasurer the present total debt is over 319,000,000.

He stated that lie was not criti- cizing the Government here or members of past Governments who had worked on other agreements entered into between the Pro- vince and the Government of Canada. Dr. MacMillnn agreed with other speakers who had pre- viously mentioned that payments to this Province by the Dominion should not be geared to a popula- tion basis. Because this is the smallest Province in Canada he felt it was a grave injustice.

The former leader of the Op- position expressed sympathy for the Minister of. Public Works and Highways. Hon. Dougald Maciiinnon. because all speakers in the debate on the draft address had asked for work to be done on the roads in their districts. He thought it the Minister tried to satisfy all of

any charges made here of Govern- ment "boodling" because there had never been enough money here to ”boodle" with. He particularly singled out the Premier, Minister of Health and Welfare and the Attorney General as being under-

paid members of the Government by comparison with the salaries received by men in similar posi- tions in other provinces.

He suggested a national sub- sidy fund to take provinces out of debt. '

Regarding the tax rental agree- ment itself he thought the na- tional gross product value wouldi have to go to 5100 million beforel it would be of real benefit to this, Province and help us out.

cd it was a history of injustice to the Maritime Provinces.

The speaker stated that he did' not. favor the tax rental agree- ment in principle because it put the individual provinces in the
