MARCH 1s, 194': British crniiilias Budget British Columbia's huge new budget indi- cates pretty clearly why that Province stood out so firmly for the highest possible grants of Fed- eral money before "renting" its income tax to the Dominion. lt needed all the money it could get. Hon. Herbert Anscomb, the finance min- ister, asks the'ProvinciaI Legislature to appropri- atc the record sum of $58,781,334 for provin- cial services. A year ago the British Columbia appropriations totalled $42,089,508 but expendi- hres for the year ran to about $50 millions. British Columbia now contains a million people; it is expanding in all directions, its high- way system and public institutions are in urg- ent need of repair and extension, the con- tinucd influx of new residents creates new costs for the tr-easury. Nevertheless, the British Col- umbia taxpayer will not be cheered to find that, at a time of undreamed-of revenues, his taxes are not reduced; th-zy are actually increased, since the Government has raised motor license fees and proposes to levy the wartime gasoline tax which the Dominion is abandoning. But the more serious fact which tho tax- payers must consider is the future maintenance of such a scale of expenditure as Mr. Ans- comb now proposes. A slight drop in business activity, a reduced revenue from natural re- sources like timber, o small decrease in liquor sales would turn Mr. Anscomb's present esti- mated surplus of $107,000 into a staggering deficit. He is budgeting, in short, on the o6- sumption that an unprecedented boom will con- tinue. Mr. Anscomb seems aware of that and a note oi alarm is visible in his speech when he says tat the "elasticity" of the public purse "is dependent not only on the willingness but the ability of the taxpayers to fill it and ex- pand it." The willingness may remain. The ability may not. This is a sad example to other Provinces, who may imagine that their troubles are over after having made u dicker at Ottawa on tax payments. Boost In Butter Prisss Butter is going to increase in price on May l. That much is certain as a result of the Gov- ernment's decision, revealed when the main esti- mates were tabled, to discontinue the subsidy. How much the increase will be remains to be seen but, according to the Ottawa Journal, it will be at least eight and a half cents, the oomunt which the Government now pays every time a consumer purchases a pound of butter. Present indications are that the increase will be considerably more than that. This relatively large increase is bound to cause criticism, and is certain to be partly mis- understood. It will be misunderstood as far as that part of the increase resulting from with- drawal of the subsidy ~is concerned. Despite ths fact subsidies have been paid on foodstuffs in Canada for five years, to the extent of several hundred millions of dollars from the taxpayers’ money; the public at large still does not under- stand this fact. Most housewives fail to real- ize-tlct nciy lire tlcy [cy 44 cents ‘fcn ~a pound of butter the Government has been hand- ing ovcr eight and a half cents to make the production of butt-er possible. But the increase on May 1 is almost cer- tainly going to be more than eight and a half cents to th-: consumer. Farm organizations, on behalf of cream producers for butter, for some time have becn demanding a higher price for cream. They claim that farmers producing cream for butter are not getting cost-of-pro- duction or anything like what those formers who produce milk for the fluid trade are getting. There’ is bettcr than one dollar a hundred- weight differ-am: between the two types of milk. ‘They are asking for a price which would re- sult in something very near 65 cents a pound 'butter. Present indications arc they are not likely b realiu this price, but that they will gt 50mg rslisf in view of rising costs. What is ikely to happen is that the same time that the subsidy comes off the ceiling price on butter will be ad- vanced. Hawever flush production of butter vcomes in Juno, and it is expected that shortly after advances take place butter prices will find o more equitable level. It is altogether possible that butter may be 58 to 60 cents on May l, settle to 55 to 57 cents for the remaind- er of the Summer. i The Barley Bonus, It was reported from Ottawa that the Cab- lnet will shortly announce a bonus of $5 pcr ucrs on land sown to barley in the West this cor. Such an announcement would be in ksop- ng with the recommendation mods by tho Do- mrnion-Provincial Conference on production last December and by the Federation of Agriculture more recently. The bonus would cost the treasury from $35 to $40 millions. It has been defended on the ground that we are committed to provids largs exports of bacon for the United Kingdom and that without additional suppliss of fusd tho production cannot be ocbisvsd. Such o bonus, howsvsr, would Isvs obvious demerits. It would involve tin trssssry in an additional srfly at a time whsn the dsclond . policy is to git out sf such sxpsndlturss. lut "Yrhndllllftllsrlrrmlrrm Min then would be the further and fundamental obiection that a subsidy on barley acreage is not the direct _and effective way of attaining the desired result. If the Government wants to increase bacon output and considers a subsidy necessary, then the clear and proper course is to grant o subsidy on hogs. In rec-ant years, the policy of the Domin- ion, as shown in the subsidy on freight rates from the Prairies to the Eastern Provinces, has been to discourage diversified farming in the West and encourage hog production in the East. The result is apparent in the declining hog population of the western provinces and the increasing depend ace of eastern hog rais- ers upon western feed. This policy may well have political advant- ages both ways. The Eastern farmer wants cheap feed; the Western farmer, no doubt, pre- fers to grow cereals if the cash return from them makes it unattractive for him to raise hogs. But wise policy would encourage diversity in western agriculture. To be dependent largely upon cereals makes the most vulnerable kind of an agricultural economy. - LDITURIAL NUHIS - Iagional high school movement is now Oct- ive, and soon it may be a question of competi- tion between districts for the Government's favour in this respect. . .. . Dr. Gus Macdonald has been again chosen as one of the candidates for First King's, and he has as a colleague the grandson of the Hon. John MacLean with whom he first entered the political arena. i I i‘ We have a modern illustration of Bacon's phrase, "if the mountain will not go to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain," in the discussion at Trinity Church's men's meet- ing on lcivic affairs. Councillors, ex-council- Iors, ex-and prospective mayors, all endeavoured to enlighten the mountain on what was being done, or not done, on its behalf at the City Council, and a great deal of light was shed on this aspect of public affairs. wnnn A correspondent writes: "The news from the Royal Commission on Freight Rates is not encouraging. lf the blanket increase goes into effect the Maritimes and particularly P. E. l. will b_e in the doldrums of permanent depression. lf the present rate concessions at the very least are not retained it will be quite impossible for us to ship anything to the rest of Canada and as we are controlled by Canada's tariff policy there is little likelihood of developing a suffici- ent export trade. As l see it a uniform increase in freight rates will be the coup de grace for the Island except as a summer resort to which prosperous Canadians can 9o to get away from it ail.“ I I I I This is from Canadian Press Ottawa corro- spondent: Speaker Gaspard Fauteux, who has been pressed by members to reconsider his decision that the Commons Charnlber has no need for loudspeakers, pointed out to them that they are, indeed, able to do without them. Dr Fauteux rose during a hub-bub of conversation that was drowning out W. Chester S. McLurn (PC-Queen's), speaking in the Throne Speech de- bate, to ask members to "moderate" their voices and observe: "1 note with interest that honor- able members can carry on conversations and listen to speakers at the some time. l am won- dering if it is after all so necessary to have loud- speakers."
