to.’ liberal Voies Against Gov'i 0n Tax Issue

orrrawa, (CP)—A Liberal mem- ber of Parliament Wednesday voted against the government on the Quebec income tax issue. Wil.fr.'.d Locroix (L.-Quebec Montmorency) sided with the Op- position es the Commons voted lad to 70 to approve the govern- mcnt‘s I954-55 budget.

He was the only Liberal to crit- icize the budget decision against granting Quebeifs request that the province‘: new 15-per-cent per- sonal income tax be fully deduct- ibie from federal tax payments. Federal tax laws allow a dedue. tion of five per cent.

In a brief speech before the di- vision. he said he would vote against adoption of the budget “for. to do otherwise. would be to give my approval to the refusal of the government on this subject." Also voting against the budget were the three Opposition parties and three Independent members from Quebec. Paul Cragnon. Chic- outlmi, Raoul Poulin. Beauce. and Femand Girard. Lapointe.

Prime Minister St. Laurent ab- stained from voting because of the absence of Opposition leader Drew who was attending a meeting in London. Ont.

The vote. in effect one of con- fidence in the government's fi- nancial policies. was on a formal government motion that the House consider a series of resolutions giving legislative effect to tax changes in the April 6 budget. The division ended a nine-day oudget debate in which the actual tax changes were almost ignored. Most of the speeches centred on the budget announcement that the Quebec tax wouvd not be deduct-
