We are today facing the "mod drastic and fill'-l'L‘IlClllll_J_'" situation ever (‘it'll wit/rd by the peoples 0f the British l-Impire. \\1- 1. ocet that Canada will plziy a major part in this war; and to do so wc expect that the resources of this country will be tapped t0 the fullest extent. The fliovernmcnt, Mr. llslcy says, has "ulopti-rl the policy of drztiviug the necessary 1'(‘.\'t.‘flll€‘€ from those best able to supply them.

.\lll()ll" the surprises of the Budget is the zin- flftttflfl" :11 that the Dominion (iovcrnmcut will %t<t- ctvnr the entire field of income taxes, both pt- punl and corporation, for the duration of tln: war, and will grant in return t0 the Provin- ccs "an amount equal to their collections from tlirge tascs in the lust fiscal year, or the nct scr- vicc on their provincial dcbt less revenue ob- ifllllfll from succession duties during that per- ind."

To the taxpayers, this change will not be of importance. Instead of paying provincial and federal income taxes, the Dominion tax will be dottbled in the lower brackets (that's where we all are, isn't it?) and the provincial tax will be wiped our. The change will not: be \V€lC01l16(l'lfl (liitario and Quebec, where the bulk of the high- hraclcrted income taxes are paid; but that simp- ly means that the revenue these Central Prov- inces have been deriving from all over Canada, through personal and corporation income taxes, will go into the fcdcral treasury for ivar pur- pr-s s. 'l'l1r1t, in effect, was ivhat the Sirois Com- mi ion rcetmimendcd. The agitation against adopting the Sirois Report was led by Premier llcpluirn of Ontario. The Dominion Govern- ment 1111s in _vcsterday's Budget, found other 1111-11115 of effecting the same end.

(Jitter measures include increases in the na-

tal Europe, the Canadian farmers have become casualties of the present war.’ And the pub- lication which is recognized as the official voice of Canadian business interests (Canadian Busi- ness, published by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce) has a very good article in the cur- rent issue stating that ‘Agriculture is Canada's first major war casualty on the home front.’

“\Vith the Prime Minister and members of his cabinet, Canadian businessmen and Cana- dian farmers all agreeing that agriculture is a war casualty it must be a. fact. The question then is ‘Why.’ Mr. King gives one reason: loss of markets in continental Europe. Let us be frank about it. Loss of European markets is only one part of the reason. The other part is neglect of agriculture in national policies of the present government headed by Rt. Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King. The first is, of course, beyond our control The second, however, is entirely within our power in Canada to remedy if we would face it.

"The Czuizuliztn [Jcoplc are providing the Fed- eral treasury with the largest tax budget in the history of this Dominion. That huge budget to finance our war program is responsible for the comparative prosperity of industry and labor. lf thc Ifcdcral govcriuuciit would usc :1 smaill part of that budgct to finance agricultural pro- duction, as they are financing other war indus- try, agriculture would not he a casualty. lu reality tlicn ngricultitrc is a lloniinion gnvem- uieut czistizilty rathcr than a \\‘.'l1' rasu:tlt,v."
