Controversy (Continued from page 1)

might be living in the same vil- lage but in different school dis- 'tricts.

Hon. Keir Clark said the bill conflicts with several other acts, such as the School Act and the Towa Act and it should be look- ed into more carefully.

Mr. Clark said that in,.Mon- tague and Souris there was a school tax and a pell tax. He said the school operates apart from the town and the act could result in the elimination of either of these taxes. ~

The Education Minister felt that a man paying tax in one place should get a credit on his tax the next place he might be working in. However he though the whole act was a bit too ‘involved«to be introduced at the present time.

SOURIS Brenton St. John said the sug-

gestion that a map be required to pay only one that is either school tax or tax was ridi- culous. Speaki for Sours, he said it would necessary to

close down either the town or the school.

“What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander’’, said Hon. Dougald MacKinnon who noted that Parkdale residents on top of a heavy village tax and school tax were required to pay another $25 when they came to Chariotte- town. He noted that Charilotte- town workers were not required to pay when they performed their duties in Parkdale.

Mr. Acorn: “What’s to stop Parkdale from putting on a tax”’. HEARD CRITICISM

Morely M. Bell said he had heard criticism of the House to the effect that anyone . who wanted to bring a bill into the Legislature, so long as he got enough support for it, could have it passed. -

He said any bill coming up should be given 24 hours notice, especially when it was of a con- tentious nature such as the one before the House. He said there were other occasions when amendments farther reaching than the bill itself were introduc- ed on short notice. He did not think that these things should

be. “I don’t agree, with the bill and 1 don’ think this Howe

were better than these actually given. JOB FOR EXPERT

It Milustrated how a weli-train-

ed transcribed could ingert nec- essary grammatical correction

as the transcription was being

done.

Premier Matheson congratula- ted both the machine~ operator and the lady transcribing the erably in contrast to that done two years ago, he said. KR jus- tified the rententton of the equip- ment. yi

He suggested that all manv-) scripts be edited by those con- cerned before final transcr@tion. The committee agreed. :

should be used to upset legisla- tion that we have handed down to our incorporated towns or the City of Charlottetown", said Mr. Bell. He traced the history of law making showing that the Greeks and -Roemans—had_handed_ down their laws to the British who in turn had handed them to the federal government of Canada. The provinces were granted leg- islation by the federal govern ment and they saw fit to grant legislation to the incorporated | Municipalities. TOUGH PUNISHMENT He recalled that according to Greek history, the legislature was plagued by a number of people who wanted to introduce amendments to the laws. Quite often these people by their pow- ers of persuasion were able to have the amendment passed. “Finally”, said Mr. Bell, ‘the legislature was obliged to take stern meéasures. They required the person , seeking the amend- ment to stand on a box with a noose*_ around his neck. If the passed, the noose was taken off. If it didn’t, the

| box .was_removed”’.

~ Mr. faid the cities and towns have a right to regulate for taxation in regard to taxi drivers, imsurance companies, banks, etc. “If not, we could be flooded with people paying no share of the town’s tax burden, to the detriment of the regular residents of the place.”

He felt the bill should have been sponsored on a higher level in view of its widespread impli- cations effecting as it does the whole province.

A PERFECT RIGHT

Premier Matheson said any private member had a_ perfect right to introduce a bill so long as it does not involve. the spend- ing of public money.

Mr. Saville thought if the act went through it would cause a lot of confusion.

Cc. C. Baker moved that the Speaker take the chair but later withdrew his motion.

Hon. Fugene Cullen said he agreed that the bill may not be entirely correct in its wording but he felt there was a definite need to take action on this mat- ter of paying more than one tax. He said it could happen that ;under the present provisions of the law. an ordinary tradesman might pay up to $75 or $80 a year and if all the incorporated villages and the six incorporated towns were to exercise their pre- rogative a person might pay as high as $600 in one year.

SHOULD HAVE CEILING

Mr. Cullen felt the time had come when a ceiling must be put on the amount any. individual is required to pay. He did not agree with Morley Bell that the Legislature had no right to in- terfere. “If we feel that an act should be rescined or repealed, then it is our duty to do so forthwith. We are —responsible-

it is passed but for those that have been passed WO years ago”. Mr. Cullen said an_ injustice was being done in more cases than in Charlottetown. He took Souris for instance. He ‘said many people are being taxed for working at an industry establish- ed by the government. He said the paved streets of Souris and the road leading te the wharf had been built by. the Island Government and yet farm. ers are charged taxes when they go down to the wharf to load their own potatoes. “The division of the spoils

'for the act, not only in the year.)

should be on a more equitable basis’’, said Mr. Cutlen. AMENDMENT

Morely M. Bell introduced an amendment to the effect that when a resident worked in a municipality where the poll tax or educational tax was greater than that which he had paid in his own municipality, he would get credit for the lesser amount. An example of this would be; “A’man who had paid a $5 poll tax in Montague or any other place would have to pay only $20 of the $25 Charlottetown tax, or $10 of the $15 Summerside tax.

Frank Myers ‘PC—Ist. Queens)

ment. He recalled that the Char- lottetow tax was put on during the erection of the Federal build- ing to take care of the many out- siders engaged in the work. He felt it was now time for the tax to be removed or in lieu of that to have some sort of reciprocal agreement.

Mr, Douglas felt tae amend- ment would not help the people in his district since most of them paid only a small poll tax of two to three doliars.

The bill will be brought back into committee on Monday when the House meets at 2.30 p.m.

The Act also provides that no be elected a Vil-

Many of those best qualified to fill such a position such as bank managers, lived in rented quarters. Dr. Dewar (PC —2nd. Prince) agreed. Harvey Douglas (L—2nd. |Kings) disagreed. He said that since it was the property owners who had to foot the bill for any major project, it was only right that they alone should be eligible for the office of Commissioner. The argument did not make much difference since under the Act as written even 530 cents worth of real property was suf- ficient to qualify a resident for

Deputy Premier Alexei Kosy- gin, one of the rising young men before the death of Stalin, re- places Kuzmin as chairman of Gosplan, the state planning com- _mission, Tass news agency an- nounced.

Kuzmin, #, also was demoted from his post as one of three deputy premiers under Premier ' Khrushchev. He becomes chair- man of the state scientific \and economic council, with minister- ial rank.

Kuzmin was appoinied chief of Gosplan in May, 1957.

DECENTRALIZATION PLAN

That made him responsible for pushing through Premier Khrush- chev’s decentralization of Soviet industry and for supervising Khrushchev’s seven - year in- dustrialization plan aimed at overtaking the United States.

Kuzmin was considered close to Khrushchev. His removal pos- sibly indicates Khrushchev still has ‘not surpressed opposition within the party and government to his drastic economic changes. Kuzmin himself may well have raised objections to some of Khrushchev's ideas.

Kosygin, 56, has been classed on the other hand as a follower of V. M.° Molotov. Motetov, former premier and foreign min- ister, fought Khrushchev’s ece nomic policies and was ejected from party leadership in 1967.

In his determination to speed farm and factory production, Khrushchev demanded more ia- dependence from Moscow die- tates for leaders in the field.
