' "The Strongest Memory is Weaker "W" the Weakest lnk." _.,__._. CHARLOTTETOWN. THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1948 The Freight Rates Racket lt is a sorry showing indeed that our Llbélrl representatives from both the‘ Maritimes and‘t e Western Provinces are Illflklllg “"5119 11919“ rates issue. Canadian Press neports‘ a lengthen- ing list“ of Liberal speakers blocking the show- down" in the House of Commons, all far the piir- pose of saving the face of a Gcvernrrienbwhich has ignored every principle of right and 1'15"" in its treatment of seven of the nine Provinces _of this Dominion. This is the most shameful exhib- ition of partisan politics that has taken place in recent times. lf our people stand for it, they will deserve hereafter to remain the _hewers of wood and drawers of water for the big Central Provinces, which the King Government evidently regards them to be. _ As the Saint John Telegraph Journal points out, the present twenty-one per cent rise I11 freight rates-in the considered opinion of the Maritime Transportation Commission — sets us back to the desperate position in which we found ourselves after the First War. The four Western Provinces-Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia-are hit rust as hard as we are by the freight rate increase. The governments of those Pwvinces, like the governments of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward ls- land, ore up in arms. Only the governments 0f Quebec and Ontario sit silent. A _change of freight rates is not a question of eating or story-- irig to the people of those ‘plump prosperous Cen- tral Provinces, as it is to the people 0f the 011191‘ seven Provinces. The Winnipeg Free Press (Liberal) complains that by a series of carefully selected quotations, . Hon. Lionel Chevrier, Minister of Transport, has tried to convince the House that the question of discrimination was not an issue in the freight votes case. "No one familiar with the evidence," it says, "will accept this statement. Railway counsehdid their best to prevent the question of discrimina- tion coming up. They said the terms of refer- ence of the inquiry—d-rawn up by the railways themselves when they made their application- prevented this question from being considered. But the seven Provinces appearing before the board repeatedly broke this barrier. The evi- --dcnce simply-teams with references-to discrim- ination. Without consideringthe problem of discrimination, an examination of freight rates is impossible. "The failure of the Board of Transport Commissioners to deal with discrimination: will certainly not increase respect for its findings. In any event, Mr. Chevrier is confusing the issue when he takes refuge in the board's report. The power of Parliament to deal with the question of discrimination is absolute. Mr. Chevrier's for- mula has not satisfied Parliament. He has an- nounced that the 21 per cent increase is now in effect, but the Board of Transport Commis- sioners is to be duthorized to hold a general freight rate inquiry. "Members have been quick to point out that the Federal Government has sanctioned the 21 per cent increase before hearing the premiers of the seven Provinces. The appeal, of course, will still be heard. But it is felt that common court- esy would have suggested delaying the increase until the appeal had been heard and consid- ered ”Secondly, the inquiry is of no‘ practical value. lt will take one or two years to complete. lt may: take even longer. Meanwhile, the new discriminatory rates will continue to be charg- ed. Mr, Chevrier will find it much easier to persuade Ontario and Quebec than the rest of Canada that the Federal Government is address- ing itself to the problems of discrimination in a serious and constructive spirit." Income Taxes With the enormous anticipated surplus at Ottawa of some $700,000,000, it is high time in- deed that some substantial relief was being ex- tended to Canada's overburdened taxpayers. The Congress of the United States has iust reduced taxes on incomes, and hero is the scale as com- pared with Canada's—the tax in both cases be- ing for o married man with two children: Net Income New U.S. Present Before Tax Canadian Exemptions Tax _ S 2,000 none S 50.00 2,500 d 17 161.50 3,000 100 278.25 14,000 266 518.25 5,000 432 _ 770.25 6,000 598 1,034.25 7,000 780 1,312.25 10,000 1,361 2,287.25 15,000 2,512 4,311.25 25,000 3,888 9,333.75 Thus the present income tax rate in Canada is more than double the new rate In the United States. Moreover, os the Ottawa ulburnal points out, our neiglibori to the south not merely enjoy a relatively light income tux; they have not, or we hove, on eight per cont soles tax. Aci-uallv, there are fro countries 1n the world more burden- . hhtwh burdened with‘ ell sorts of hid- orid "Ilhildllflidli " these "hlddee"iuiiue.eur sales tux is the worst. To begin with, it is an unfair tax; unfair in the sense that in goods of clothing and fuel and shelter-the tax on the poor is as high as on the rich,'the man on a’ wage or small salary paying as much as the million- aire.- ‘ Nothing in iustice can excuse spch a tax. lt is a levy an consumption, adding eight per cent to the cost of practically everything we buy, and made all the more burdensome as prices in- crease. With a $700,000,000 surplus in the treasury such a tax at this time cannot be de- fended an any pretext. ' - EDITORIAL NOTES - S. S. Titanic lost this date,19l2.

Q I O I Charlottetown's housing situation is certainly in need of improvement when the Fire Committee is obliged to report that it "creates more hazards and more difficulty in fighting fires." I K i i Charlottetown seems to be favoured by the presence of what ls here an unusual phenomenon, a professional burglar and safe-cracker. Our tourist publicity must be taking effect. k i I 'i Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the United States, assassinated this date 1865. His tragic end, after a self-sacrificing life made him Uncle Sam's No. 1 Hero, and almost created him a saint. His birthday is still celebrated as a political feast. I I i l In both Quebec and Ontario preparations are being made for Provincial elections. Ours is well over, and Parties are now mending their fences in view of a Federal election two years hence. i I C i The trans-Atlantic flight of 30 Superfort- resses put the U.

O I‘ I I Three years ago on April 15, 1945, the First Canadian Army reached the Dutch coast near Leeuworden and took Zwolle. On April 16th they occupied Leeuworden and Groningen and launch- ed an assault on Appledoorn, Holland. The end was now near and on the 18th, in the face of terrific Allied pressure, all German resistance in the Ruhr ended. i Q lt may be that the action of the Jones Gov- ernment in dropping the subsidy of the Children's Aid Society was a blessing in disguise. Island- ers, like other people, do not get much satisfac- tion out of contributing to government-support- ed institutions and may now that the Hon, Dr. MacMillan has directed their attention, support the Society on a greater scale than ever. Canadian railwaymen have every prospect of.an_early pay boost according to a report in the Winnipeg Free Press. The news story indicates that there is a tacit understanding that wage rates must not be more than thirty per cent be- low prevailing American railway trades rates and that recent increases in the U. S. now result in a greater difference. k R l‘ i Our potatoes are on the move all right now, and should find o profitable market before the new U. S. crop makes its appearance.

J. F. Pratt as general executive assistant in the de- partment. Mr. Douglas Harkness, Calgary, charged there had been political interference in the appointment, Mr. Pratt being at pfqggnf private secretary to Resources Minister Glen. The committee moved in and out of discussion of the Pratt Case several times. It conside ed a motion saying there has been "no political interference", but compromised finally on the term "improper." The matter will be brought up again wlun the relport reaches the House.
