"as a measure of justice he competing companies. it is decep- tive: and B-s for its being zoir let,- The law respecting taxadon of tab-operatives had been amended in 1930, when the govemmmt an- nourned oo-ooeratives were not to be subject to the tax. Then, in i942. the “government tried to make olit that the l oil-operatives were taxable under this same law." "But it neither enforced its views, nor did it change the law." he said. “Tile izh/enxrner-f proceed- ed on its vacilafiing and uncertain. course. It required the western pools to keep hack a very consider- able amount of money belonging to their members. which they would have geld out in patronage divid- ends ad thc government allowed them to do so." The Taxation Bill Whl‘i\ had just passed the Commons would make the pools nay the wartime tax rates for the last two year's, 1044 and i945. The governments policy was to "make the Dfluis pay five to l0 tit-tics as much in taxes for pach of those two yeirs as it was going to make them pay from now on." Mr. Bracken said this discrim- ination could not be justifird and. the money the government pro-l posed to collect for 1944- and 1945i was patronage dividends belonging to the farmers and conswluently‘ not taxable. In affect, the government hadl said to the : "You can do oust or other o two thin .

With senate approval, it will rc- quire all new m of the forces to contribute to a pension fund whereas formerly only offic- ers aind warrant officers contlribv uted and only their widows and. children were protected.
