He noted that diesel oil is to be taxed. This oli sells at 11 3-4 cents a gallon. A l3 cents tax on this will amount to pretty high taxation.

He mainaincd that "since we have to retain some form of taxation, this is the fairest tax of all."

Mr. Strong: "You will have to Admit that 13 cents is an awful lax." ~

Mr. Morley Bell: “Yes. 1t l5,"

Mr. Seville recalled how Lib- erals were decried in years gone by for putting on taxes. All with the exception of the poll tax l-lad been allowed to remain on the statutes by the Conservatives. He approved of the l3 cents tax on gasoline if it ls lo be used on the roads. Hc uotrd. however, that Nova Scotia makes provision for n rebate of this tax to the fish- ermen. We should do the same. If not. the fishermen will go over to Nova‘ Scotla and buy their ftasoline 3 cents cheaper than they are buying it here."

"The evidence is‘ gradually being revoaloo- whlony shows how poor a barggln this- Oltawn agreement was," he add-l ed. “Yesterday tlicrc was a 5 per uent addition to the Corporation Tax, arid today we have o 3 cents llrldillnu on gasoline. These taxes should be subtracted from the "2.- 100000 from Ottawa, and then ill will show just how much we are getting.

Is thisthe way they pro- pose to implement the Governor's speech? If so. I tlllllk it would he just as well to dispense with the Governor's Speech altogether.

I maintain that once the Federal Government raised its ob- jective from 12 to S15 per capita. that automa ically entitled this Province to th0_$Z.100.000 minimum. and that is all we got. These taxes wo are imposing now are the dil- ect evidence that the bargain was s, bad one."

Slaves of"l‘ha Government

Mr. Hunter raid there was no doubt that by this s cents tax on gasoline w; are continuing war- time taxation. which was to have been abolished after the war. “Taxation has now become a ter- riflc burden on .the people," he added. "A great many of us are working for the Dominion Gov- ernment today two or three months out of the year. We are getting to be the slaves of the Government."
