Jan. 30 - (OP) - If anyone can claim klnabflp to Superman. that would be slight. flashing-eyed Jczo Welder, part-owner and manager of the Blue Mountain Ski Lodge here. A visitor at the Lodge is struck by Jozo's ability to be in a number of places at the same time. You may aee him tightening a_ tow rope; a few minutes later | you catch a glimpse of him on his "wooden sticks" as he calls them. trudging over to the snack shack with wleners, buns, cans of water and bits of machinery under his arm; a few minutes later he is in the kitchen of the ' lodge. advising the chef as to the day's menu. Weider came to Canada from, Caadioslovakls. in INO. For two] years after his arrival, ho was, employed as skiing instructor at Alpine Lodge in Quebec and‘ later opened his own lodge at Colllngwood. | Besides English. which - he speaks fluently, he can speak six other languages reasonably well. It is not uncommon for a late- arrivlng guest to enter the lodge and find Jozo perched on the back of a chair with his accordion in his hand, leading guests in s sing-song. Or he may find the rugs rolled back, the furniture pushed into the next room while heavy ski boots pound on the floor in n square dance as Jozo pumps mldly on his accordion. For one who has been-and atill is-such an ardent skier, Jozo has very little equipment. Outside the lodge are two un- wsxcd. slightly bent. plccva of "stick" with a bit of leather lace for harness. They are his skis but on them he can out-ski many a champ- loll. But Jozc has something else on his mind beside skiing. He wants to interpret to Canada the Eurpoe he knows. Too much mis- understanding exists between the average Canadian and the aver- age European. says Jozo. He spends many an evening in front of ills fireplace. explaining the background. education and think- ing of the middle European. l-Ils doctrine is tolerance and under- standing‘ because he feels that “here there is understanding. there can be no room for hatred and strife.

THILCIIARLCYFTETOWN GUARDIAN vlilll w: lviv (Continued from Page i) ticned above we import vast quantities of foe-‘d grains and by- products thereof such u bran. shoril. mlddlingS. as well as very large quantities of commercial mixed animal feeds. This is vit- ally ry to our existence as un agricultural Province. (Ilher Provinces Benefit In regard to the first mention- ed list. stop here and ask your- ievlf. "What am I wearing now at this moment that is made here on Prince Edward Island?" Then ask yourself "What have I in my store or other business establish- ment, or in my homo, that was made hero?" ‘Iho answer ls that practically everything is imported, rind mostly from the great prov- inces of Quebrc and Ontario. Some comes from Nova Scotiui and New Brunswick. Fifty years ago things were dif- ferent here because more wood was used for fuel, some clothing was made hcrc, boots and shoes, furniture, bricks, brooms. and a variety of other things; but with intense industrialization and mass production, due to their natural resources, especially ill Ontario and Quebec, our industries were gradually squeezed cut. The re- sult of all this is that, while we are paid for tile products which we ship, yet these are few in number. although in the case of potatoes large- in quantity, and they are almost all raw materials. We must buy manufactured ma- tcrlals from the other Provinces who benefit by the lsbo-ur used. by the return on capital invest- id, and the Federal Government benefits through thc taxes paid by these concerns. in the other provinces, but don't forget that in the imported purchase price we are paying out of our pockets these taxes and our Province gets no credit for this. Over Twenty-Five Millions Avsurvey which I made last year showed that we import over $5,000,000 worth of goods from otllicr Provinces, and on practlc-. ally every one of these itoms the Federal Government makes a sales tax of 8%. which amounts to s cool two million dollars. for which our Province gets no cre- dit vihatsoever. But vw: as indi- viduals living in this province actually pay it out of our own pockets in the purchase price of the goods. The Federal Government also gets the Income Taxes from the concerns who make or produce these things. It ilas been esti- mated that the income Tax would approximate at least 4%, which would make another million dol- lars which goes to the Federal Treasury and for which wle get no credit. Among other items the Federal Government receives from here are approximately $2,- 500,000 income taaoes. To this must be added the tidy sum they received during the years that the 3c per gallon Federal lax on gasoline was in ef- fect. A man in the oil business told me this would be at least $120,000 Der year. ‘Then the Fed- eral Govcrnrnent makes a good deal of money on the Customs Duties paid on goods imported from the United States such as automobile parts, etc, and clothes, dishes. etc, from England which are used in this Province but are entered in other ports besides ours and, therefore, our local ‘Makes Lilloral i I ‘imported inito this Province i ‘cheque for $300.00 from, Mr. Contribution To Y.M.0.A.

This timely and thoughtful. ad- vanced contribution indicates a dc- sire for the success of the Drive. which will be in full swing next week tile same size as the tuxcs we are now paying annually on goods for “Vim; and business purposes but which are credited to the Pro'v- inccs manufacturing the goods, “hhm-‘Kh YOU and I art: paying those taxes out of our own puc- kets in a sort of painless extrac- llon way. The agreement should give some stability to our Provincial Gov- ernnlent finances. We should understand. however. it is not a gift but a return of part of 111.,- dlrect and indirect taxes we now Pl)’- Hlllc Railway Tolls In addition to tho above. unfortunately have to pay the 10F! haul railway freight on mos: things imported here. and a long haul railway freight on most things that we export from this Province. A railway official 101d nle about a ycar ago that Prince Edward Island was one of the most valuable branch lines the Canadian National Railways had, and no douibt this is true on ac- count of the long inward and outward freight hauls which, after ail, are the real basis of railroad profits. The Canadian Na- tional Riailwsys despite adverse conditions are doing everything POSSI-ble for us. I honestly believe tho/t we pay in all these taxes, direct and in- direct. and freight on goods im- ported and exported at least 010000.000 Per year. which u equal to over $100.00 for every man, woman and child on Prince Edward Island. These are stag- ‘serlng figures. but when we add ,together wihst it costs us to live Customs offices do not. show these . items. But we pay them Just the . 5531C. Liquor, It is now believed that the Fed- eral liquor tax profits from sales in thlls Provincc in 1946 would be at least $300,000. and the Federal tobacco taxes which I understand ure over one-half of the retail cost of a package of cigarettes or pipe tobacco, would amount to almost another $300,000. We get no credit for this. Other taxes which aobacco, Etc. we pay t the Federal Treasury include the , luxury tax on furs. Jewellery. crockery ware, perfumes, etc., c-tc., and while there is no defin- ite means of accurately estimat- ing thtis. I have been told it would be s minim-um of 8200.000 per year. In addition we have such minor items as postage tax of lc on each letter. put on wihcn the i v I i rate was increased from 3c to 4c; l bank cheque tax, telephone tax, telegraph tax. electricity tax. theatre amusement tax, 15% tax on railway. air and bus travel tie- kets. and I have probably mlissed some as they are so numerous. No one can reasonably kick at a fair amount of taxation under present conditions considering the tremendous burden of debt in- curred through the war, and do not construe what l have written as being against taxation bc- cauac we must pay taxes. At the same time we must thor- oughly rcalibe that these direct and indirect taxes contribute to our being an asset to the bd- eral Government. Newspaper reports have stated that under the proposed Domin- ion-Provincial agreements this Province will annually receive 02.- 400 plus some smaller items. This amount is actually about VVHY till-f SQRE -FEET? \f- and what it costs us to do busi- ness in all its varied forms, the figure is approximately correct. Divided it means‘ we pay approx- imately $63.50 per person in taxes and about $40.00 per person in freight. Now, we receive certain moneys from the Federal Government, such as that paid directly to the Provincial Government, the cost of keeping up Dominion public works, Federal agricultural as- aistsnce. which includes feed grain subsidy, fisheries assist- ance. education. health and hos- pita] assistance, National Park, and certain marine work, ctc. To this must'be added the portion paid towards old age pensions. Other Expenditures In regard to tllie family al- lowances and veterans‘ pensions and allowances. these actually should not be taken into consid- eration ias a direct grant to any Province because they apply equally to all parts of Canada and in the case of family al- lowanccs are subject to income tax. In ill€)ClSE oi’ veterans‘ pensions and allowances. these are for services rendered to Cari- ada as a whole. It is also true that we arc go- ing to have a new Car Ferry, and a largo amount of money spent on the Bcrdcii-Tornlontine piers. but after all this fa only implementing the terms of 0on- federatlon and, goodness knows, we suffered so much for so many years through the Dominion Gov- crnment not doing bet-ter on transportation under the terms of Confederation, and the amount for the new Oar Ferry and the blurs actually is partial redress for non-fulfillment of a contract. Besides that it will benefit the Federal ‘Treasury through import and export freighit, truck. auto- mobile and bus business. and I claim this is a sound and profit- able investment on the pal-t of the Federal Government, and it definitely will be equally as mudl benefit to Nova Scotls. New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario from a strictly financial sense aa it will be to this Province. “b are grateful for these improve- merits. Feed Grain Subsidy In reward to agriculture, we are faced with grave- and very seri- ous problems through a possible increase in freight rates and the evol- present possibility that t-he subsidy on feed grains ‘coming into the Mcritlmes might at some time be reimved and. if this owl- happened. our cattle. hog and poultry business would be in an r-lotremely serious condition. Therefore. I very strongly’ feel that before tho new agreement is signed with Ottawa our Govern- ment should Insist on some kind of an nnderatandlnq that the feed-nah subsidy should remain in affect. If our agricultural economy is badly hit. and our farmers suffer severe losses through the removal of this subsidy and an increase in freight rates. how can the Fed- oral Government expoot- us. as almost a solely agricultural Prov- ince. to be able to pay these dir- ect and indirect taxes whl-h I have outlined above and which. naturailv. they must be expecting in receive in "turn for what they send to i'l's Province?

Not For Nothing Summing up we must defin- itely get it out of our minds that we arc getting something for nothing from Ottawa: secondly. we should insist on a long term guarantee that tile freight rate subsidy on feed grains will re- misin in effect. and thirdly that we all must realize we are an actual asset to the Federal Gov- crnmont.
