H, cited from the Throne Speech at Ottalwa to show that, contrary to Premier Jones’ contention. this subject had been adequately covered in the Gov- ernor Generalm address to House of Ccznmorls, Mr. Msthieson dealt with Prem- ier Jones‘ sllegation that the pre- sent Conservative national leader, Col. Drew, had, along with Pum- ler Duplessis of Quebec, been re- sponsible for breaking up the Do- nflnlon-tfiflllllldiil conference on taxation. He cited from I-larlsapd to show that this was not the case so far as Col. Drew was con- corned. l-le also took issue with the Premier on the question of Col. Drewbmttitude towards the entry of Newfoundland into Confederat- ion, polnting out that the ques- tion in dispute involved amending the British North America Mt without consulting the Provinces. What Col. Drew wished to prevent was the establishment of a dang- erous precedent on a nutter af- fecting the constitutional rights of all the Provinces. Mr. Msthleson denounced as a fstal mistake the Trade Union Act passed in the Ixlglslature lest year. ‘Ihlsmeustlre has held the Pre- vince up to ridicule In every civil- ized capital, he declared.

"If Nova Scctia were to forbid the use of margarine it might be of some benefit to us. as we are exporters of butter. ut there is nu more reason why we should ban margarine than molas- ses, peanut butter or corn syrup. which also are used on bread as butter substitutes. "But I am willing to support any measure to protect the people so that they will know what they are buying," he added. I-le also strongly supported the principle of workmenfls compensa- tion. Georgetowrfls need of s better paved road was also emphasized and he said this was more necess- nry than even better schools, for schools without good roads would not be of much service. ' He took issue with the Opposi- tlon claim that road work was not carried on late last fall. He instan- ced the work done in his own dis- trict ln this connection.

"Away with Income Tax" could be heard in the en- suing commotion, as the farmers left _the Legion Hall st the end of the afternoon session. During (no spirited discussion on the Income Tax resolution. Benet- or Sinclair answered some of the criticisms which it contained. He suggested that the exemption amount should be left as i and an attempt made to lower e rate. Later he pointed out that s- ferm- er is allowed to give his son $4,- 000 s. year out of capital, exempt trom gift tax. Farmers rose up all over the Hall asking the Senator to give his opinion on specific eases. Smith (MscFerlane.

Money had also been given by way of relief, and notes taken in return. Mr. Seville said. But there was never any effort made to col- lect these relief notes until this year, Many of the recipients of these loans are now dead, or are on old age pensions. These amounts never should have been included as assets of the Board. In the setup of the new Board it ls proposed that no one over 50 years of age shall be entitled to loans, nor is there provision to give loans on lobster gear. Boats must be built under the supervision ol a naval architect. Mr. Seville did not think these provisions would work satisfactorily. Otherwise he thought the new setup should prove workable.‘ "When you launch your new ship", he added, “I would advise this: Don't put your spars up too high and don't attempt to carry too much sail, or you may encounter the some difficulties that the old Board~did." He strongly commended the Gov» ernment on establishing u fish bait storage plant. He added that the fishermen of Prince Edward Island are unani- mously opposed to beam trawler-s. He supported the stand of George Nowltin, newly elected Conserva- tive member for Digby-Annupolis- Kings, on this issue.

"If the whole T15. manket were thrown open to 01w (without any restrictions. as we have now done in Canada, there isn't any question but that the dairy industry of the United States would suffer a terrific loss. Dealing with income taxes. Mr. Grotff quoted the latest Ottawa figures, showing that. over 200.000 farmers filed income tax returns for 1M6, 1nd s larger number for 0M1. 0f the farmers‘ rel/urns which had been assessed for 1946. only M percent of them were found to be taxable st- all. “As an organization the Feder- ation supports the income tax as being sound in principle, based as it is on the ability to pay)‘ he said. "We do not encourage farm- ers to evade the income tax, but we have had to fight against a long back-log of ill-will and re- sentment created in past years by officious income tax Officials who had no understanding cf nor sympathy with the farmers’ pec- uliar pl bleons. What it, took the income tax authorities s. long time to learn was that farming is s different kind of business than any other type of business in our country. so that an entirely dif- ferent approach is needed. "I am glad to say that fslct is now realized to a far greater ex- tent by officials st headquarters. They have oven got around to the position where they are actually seeking out competent men with farming background to take pos- itions ln the various regional of- fices for the express purpose of assisting farmers to know and understand the requirements of the income tpx regulations. Food Prices Gotverrxnent records showed that the index of farm prices as it stands today is not high when compared with the ratio of wage rates in industry, Mr. Groff said. Moreover, the records show that the general level of wage rates in key industries is such that more food can be bought to- day than was the case in former years. when food was lower pric- ed. "I often non-lei- what the cost of food would really be if we had to pay our skilled farm workers on the basis of a 48-hour week, or on the basis of some of the hour- ly wese rates that are in effect in industry." Mr. Gmff declared. “Canadian farmers are the last to begrudge labor its full due. I-Ie read the other day that brick- lsyers in Calgary were co get ch60 an hour. and were fo cut their production down .1... 300 bricks a day. "What would the cos; or food be to our city people if we had to pay farm labor. just as skilled as brlcklayem, and many of them more so. on the same basis. or if skilled farm workers reduced their efficiency in the same way?" -he asked. The general public forgets, Mr.‘ Groff added, "that for fourteen long years from 1930 onward farmers‘ prices were below the level of what their returns should have been io pay their production costs. and for the early yeurs of that period, their prices were at star- vation levels. In fact. though farmers have good prices today, it would take them twenty-five years at the present rate to cutch up with the tremendous losses they suffered all across Canada in these years.” When the war broke out, farmers’ prices were not yet up to normal. Then price controls came in, and froze farmers‘ prices at an almost depression level. The Govern- ment sought to remedy this situa- tion by subsidies. This policy sid- ed farmers to getproper returns for their produce, but it also kept prices of food down to the general public, with the result that the people of Canada have been used to cheap food for so long that when subsidies are cancelled and food finds its proper level of value, the people complain. IMW-IIICQIDO Groups “We feel sympathetic today, and quite properly so, for what we cell the low-income groups of our na- tion," Mr. Groff said. "Consumer groups tell us these low-income people cannot afford to buy proper food for their families at present high levels. It is quite true that it. is very difficult for them to do so. But I contend that it is not the farmers’ place to assume the bur- den of providing cheap food for there people-it is the nation's re- sponsibility." I-Io added that the family allowance is sufficient in many‘ cases to buy quite substantial quantities of milk and bread and butter. _ Quoting again from Government records, Mr. Grcff said it lied been _lng house strike of 1947.
