Canada’s Logging Industry Is Seeking Income Tax Relief

OTTAWA (CP)—Should Can- eda’s vast logging industry be allowed to deduct certain deple- tion allowances from taxable in- | come as petroleum and mining | companies are permitted under the federal income tax act?

This is one of the several questions left over for federal of- ficials to consider from the con- ference of provincial treasurers with Finance Minister Fleming here last week.

British Columbia and Ontario raised the issue, but its implica- tions are } of direct interest to every province.

The joint brief of B.C. and On- tario — the provinces with the highest per capita tax yields— said that unlike the reésource- based industries engaged in min- eral, oil or natural gas opera- tions, logging companies aren’t

cial resource, the special allow- ance should be made equal to the total profits attributable to log- ging operations—that is, logging income should be exempted from federal corporation income ‘tax and reserved exclusively for the provinces to tax as they deem necessary to support their forest expenditures.”

The brief anticipated the argu- ment that whether the loa ng industry were ‘completely °¥ empted from federal inéime tax or only permiitted to deduct de- pletion allowances on the same basis as petroleum, and mining companies can, the tax yield from Ontario and B.C. would be re- duced by some degree.

Generally speaking the quality of Island potatoes arriving on)

the Sydney market was good, he added. Last week Island inspectors

were charged with irresponsibil- ity in a letter to the federal de-| partment of agriculture. Copies of the letter were forwarded | to leading dailies in Sydney, Hali- fax and Charlottetown.

One family he digs for will live in a unit of a housing project for which he is excavating the foundation. The other family is his own — and includes four children. He is a good “digger” for dollars and his wife manages them well. So their family expenditures are kept in line with the family pay cheque.

Public works cover a lot of ground. The budget of the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa.is in the millions of dollars . . . and his department is only one of many.

Money for all departments of government comes through the Minister of Finance who gets it largely in taxes from Canadians such as you. When more money is spent than is collected in taxes, government must borrow from you . . . or else create new money. The creation of new money is one factor that leads

to inflation .. . which means your dollar buys less and less.

The government has been spending more than you have been paying in taxes. To narrow the gap between income and expenditures, mew taxes have been imposed,

The next step should be to reduce expenditures, or at least hold the line. Undertaking new commitments — adding new welfare or other services — will only make it that much more difficult to pay our way. Tell your M.P. at Ottawa that since you are trying to save, you expect government to do the same.

You also help when you save more by means of life insurance, savings deposits, and the purchase of government bonds. Your savings help to create a SOUND dollar; and this, in turn, helps to create job security for you and more jobs for other Canadians.
