The bank said it was making the reduction because of the general decline in yields on securities. The bank rate is the mlnirnum at which the central bank will lend for short periods to chartered banks and the money market on the security of treasury bills and short-term government bonds. ”Yields on these securities have declined materially over the past year and a half and the bank rate at the old level had ceased to bear a reasonable relationship to other short-term interest rates." the bank said in a statement. It added: OTTAWA ICP) -Business should be allowed to deduct all legitimate expenses when computing ' ome tax. n Joint committee of the Ca- nadian institute of Chartered As- countanis and the Canadian Bar Association said today in a sub- mission io Finance Minister Harris and Revenue Minister McCann. At present. said the brief. many expenses necessary to the duct of business are not deductible. This meant actual income tax was often higher than the stated rates indi- cated. Expenditures not now deductible included legal and other costs in carrying a successful a p p e a I against assessed taxes and costs of obtaining a loan of capital other than the interest paid.

Exporters could reduce their falling prices without affecting their returns in Canadian funds. But for the importer and to some extltlt the consumer. it may be a different story .The drop in the exchange value means the.im- porter must pay a little more for his goods. And if he cannot afford to absorb the increase he may in some cases pass it nlon to the consumer in the form o slightly higher prices. MORE FOR GOLD MINES The Canadian dollar has been riding above per ever since Feb- ruary rm. Since Canada's gold producers selling on the official market get paid on the basis of funds. it Canadian Dollar Decline Welcomed By Some People ada Reduces Interest Rates To Banks "In the past the bank rate has been changed f f of the bank's facilities. The growth in the breadth and scale of activ- ity in the short-term money mar- kct over the past two years has made it desirable that the bank rate 'be made more flexible and bear a closer though not fixed re- lation to other short-tenn interest rates. ”The present adjustment will help to make the bank rate a more significant factor in the money market and facilitate its more flexible use in the future as cir- cumstances may require. "While the structure of short- term interest rates, including the bank rate, provides an index of ymonetary conditions. it does not follow that every change in the bank rate or in the level of other short rates necessarily indicates a .change in general economic con- ditions." Brief Urges Changes In Federal Income Tax Act of paramount interest to all citi- zens that important questions of principle be decided by the Sn- preme Court of Canada. However. where a taxpayer succeeded in a tax appeal in the E chequer Court. the crown should bear the costs of the taxpayer in the Supreme Court if it desired to appeal. The brief also asked that upon the death of a farmer or fisherman his beneficiaries "be not penal- ized” by forbidding the averaging of his income for a period of less than five years. It recommended that the income Tax Act "should be amended to give effect to the original Inten- tion of Pmliement which was that taxpayers not be required to pay interest beyond one year because of failure of the department of na- tional revenue to assess the return within one year of filing." Establishment of an appeal cedure for the Excise ex Act. similar to that provided for the income Tax Act. was urged and it was recommended that the term "sales price" be defined more ac- curstely. pro- Internationnl Wheat Agreement also has been expressed in U.

(CP)-Canada's hos- pital bed capacity reached a high of 151,000 at the end of 1953. but the expansion, failed to keep pace with population growth. The increase of about 6,000 beds during the year left the cspaclt at slightly more than one per cent of the population. a decline in the ratio for the second succive year. The figures were contained in the bureau .0! statistical annual report on hospitals. Public hospitals in 1953 had a ratio of 4.75 beds per 1.000 of populstio. Alberta led the prov- inces with 0.49 per 1,000 of pro- vincial population, Prince Edward Island with 5.07. Nova Scotia had 517, Newfoundland (.51. New Brunswick 4.10 and Quebec 8.06.

(AP) - Orion tubing may soon be used as n-sub- atitute for the human heart's prin- cipal artery--the aorta and the y- shaped aortic arch. The arts substitute. which re- sembles n y knitted necktie. has been developed experimentally here in the school of textiles at North Carolina State College. Already it has been used suc- cessfully ns a substitute for the aorta in dogs. If successful in humans. it will be a milestone in medical science. The idea was projected by two Charlotte, N. C.. heart specialists. Dr. Paul W. Sanger and Dr. Fred- erick II. Taylor. They approached Prof. W. E. Shinn. head of th college's department of knitting technoio . about the idea. . hinn, working with a mod- tfied n e c k tie knitting machine. knitted orion tubing in the exact dimensions of the human aorta and its accompanying aortic arch. The achievement may bring recovery to older people afflicted with an- eurlsm. a permanent abnormal dilation of a blood vessel.

According to a survey by an authority, fur volume in the Unit- ed States is up It per cent from last year. one of the big rea- sons is the improved stock mar- ket prices which has given coh- fidenc to- the public and in fact to everyone. that good times are here and that money will be plentiful in 1055.

The issue of the United States import duty on Cannliisn bred silver for skins is to be discussed by the Canadian Council of Eur Associations at a meeting to be held in Montreal next week. Michael Morris of A. Hollander H San. Montreal. who is president of the Council. said that this mat- ter is being taken up by the top level fur organization. The pres- ent duty is 07in per cent.

It was noted that if anything along this line would be done it would take action by Congress or the inclusion of the silver fox tariff rates on a "bargaining ilst" for reciprocal trade negotiations with Canada.

Because mutations bring a bet- ter financial returii to teachers and because these color phases continue in strong demand. pro- duction of these types continues on the rise allover the world. The Scandinavian countries. for example. are looking for an in- crease in mutation output amount- ing to over 100 per cent this sea- son. Last year mutation output was about 170,500.

Pastel production is by far the most plentiful of all the mutations. and in the United States Pastel output outstripped Standard pro- duction in 1958-54. and the trend is gaining momentum this year. Canadian sources predict a 75 pes- cent increase in Pastel production this year, bringing the Dominion's output to about 205.000 from last year's 117.000. The Scandinavian countries are boosting Pastel out- put from 99.000 to IYMII). Can- edinns are expected to produce as per cent more Plntinums. up- ping production fo 100.000. Scand- inavian Plntinums- will total ap proximately 114.000 as compared with com) a year ago. United States production of Pletinuma is expected, to remain somewhere between 250.000 and 300.000 pelts. We were grentLy pleased to have a visit Tuesday from George A. Callback. manager of the Fur Marketing Department. Canadian National Silver Fox Breederr Association. Summe aide. George was looking in excellent health and fully recovered from his bout with arthritis. which he suffered some months. ago. No doubt a large part of the cure could be attributed to the changed picture in the silver 'fox and mutation world. Once the worldil most popular fur. sliver fox hit a ter- rific decline commenclng in 1040. due to too great production of pelts and the fact that the buy- ers' tastes had chenlgcd from long haired furs to the shorter ones such as mink, etc. Now the pend- ulum is swinging back and with the smaller quantities that are available some estimate the world's production for 105 won't be more than M000 pelts: the rancher can expect to receive the coat of Droduction and pos- sibly a profit.
