Mr. Fleming spread an annual $86,000,000 tax abatement thinly to help them all by paring the tax rate on the first 82,000 of tax- able income.

He gave up another $60,000,000 a year to benefit some 1,750,000 taxpaying parents by boosting the basic exemption for children and other dependents by $l00.

Those personal income tax changes. and another 812,000,000 annual reduction in corporation taxes. will affect only 1958 in- comes. Taxpayers filing returns early next spring on their 1957 in- comes will pay at the old rates.

Those were the only major tax ch although the minister said he plans to introduce — for consideration at the next session of Parliament——a complete revi- sion of the Succession Duty Act which will boost the basic exemp- tion on estates left to widows and children.
