Now the Income Tax Payers’ Assocfatlonls not. content to rest on the reconf- mendatlon of this commiuton but. I: endeavurtng to mold public oplnlon by extravagant high- n-ressuxe claims. What dlld this commission re- commend? They recommended sfmmly that cat-operatives be treat- ed like any other business. This is the recommendation: “Tlhat the Income W-ar Tax Act. and the Ex- cess Profits Tax be tunended to provide for the taxation of co- operative usoclatlorts and organ- lmtlons on the salute basis as oth- er persons fn accordance with the recommendations which follow." (Page 44.) This ls by no means particularly favorable to oo-oper- atlves. Other types of business have the same nrfvlleee as co- operatives, of paying back their eumtngs their customers No farmer In Prince Edwtard Island would object to the implement companies paying back their pro- fits to the purchaser of farm ma- uhlnery, especially after the recent Increase tn prices. All business- men would have this privilege If the xteoonmtendatfons of the com- mission were lnvnlmnented. Let us discuss briefly the argu- mtenl-s of Professor J. L. McDou- uall of Queen’: University. 'I‘hese arguments as used by the Lnoome Tax Payers’ Association have been taken front their context. When Professor McDougall appeared be- fore the Royal Commission he stated-and this is In the record- ed testimony-that hbs figures were only a very rough guess. He gave this figure only when pressed to do so by the commission. However, the figure Itself ls not the significant point. He lumped together a n r of different iroups. Crown Companies, Provin- (‘.151 and Municipal Comtmnle-mand Ola-operatives. Would the people of Summerafde be any better off If their electric company were tax- ed? This would simply mean higher electricity rates In Sum- mersfde and vlclnlty, or less rev- enue to the town.

Or l~f the gov- ernment. vendor were taxed. would the relied from fmome tax com- pensate for the Increased prices of liquor?

Thev file all regular tax returns and reports to the In- come Tax Department. There are different kinds of co- operatives.

If a fishermen’: Union 1n by efliclent production secures a higher return for Its embers. these members must. pay heir In- come tax on the amount they re- ceive. Surely there Is no Injus- tice In such a case. A: for Con- sumer (Jo-operatives. such as stor- es, thqv are exempt from income tax only by comtplytn with ce-r- tain veny rigid con Mons.

Moreover. they must. pay a tax on all sums not rebabed back to the members. Responsible co-onentlyes follow the prlticlnle of charging current prices. This has a stabilizing ef- fect on all business, and avoids ruinous competition which would be- humful to private trade.
