"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.” wemrennarizsnvsirfnfisn - la Free llasrlorrts Premier Jones told the delegates to the Farmers’ Parliament last week that the two million dollar minimum subsidy we are to re- ceive from Ottawa under the new tax agree- ments is more revenue than this Province ever enjoyed before. What he neglected to say was that it is more than offset by the money we now pay into the Dominion treasury on personal jncome and corporation taxes alone. This fact has been pointed out on other occasions, but now we have the official figures, tabled in the House of Commons the other day in reply to a question. Last year we paid in personal income taxes the sum of $1,286,163, plus $714,670 in corporation taxes, or a total from these two sources of $2,000,833. There are, of course, other Dominion taxes, includirig succession dut- ies (which amounted last year to $26,085), and an 8 per cent soles tax on practically everything, for which no figures are available but which must runinto hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Here are figures for previous years, coier- ing a portion of our Island contributions to the Federal treasury: 1942: personal income taxes, $483,803; taxes, $263,733; succession duties, $2,138. 1943: corporation $15,727. 1944: corporation $40,843. 1945: personal income taxes, $1,353,927; corporation taxes $630,623; succession duties, $46,133. Thus in five yeaEs, 1942-46, we paid the Dominion Government $4,876,105 in personal income taxes, $2,974,953 in corporation taxes, and $130,926 in succession duties, or a total of nearly eight million dollars on thres tax items alone. And we, of course, are only a small Province, with comparatively small tax- able incomes. Is it any wonder Ottawa wants to retain these huge revenue sources which it took over as a wartime measure from the Provinces, and why the larger and wealthier Provinces are protesting so vigorously? personal income taxes, $594,347; taxes, $815,994; succession duties, personal income taxes, $1,157,775; taxes $549,933; succession duties, veterans’ Loans Despite ths wide publicity which has been given to the enactment of ths Veterans’ Busin- ass and Professional Loans Act, there has been little information available as to the exact cir- cumstances in which veterans may obtain assist- ance under its terms. Delay in producing neces- sary printed forms issued by the Government tended to create an impression that the applic- ation df the Act was meeting with somewhat less than complete enthusiasm. These preliminary difficulties are being ironed out, however, and now the Bank of Montreal has issued a helpful little booklet called "What's the Score on these Veterans’ Loans?" No one who recalls the Bank's booklet for veterans, "Getting Off On the Right Forit,” issued Iota in 1945, will doubt that this one adequately answers the question put by its title. The "score", to use the Bank's word, is given In ths report of an interview in which a veteran asks some very important questions and is answered by his Bonk manager in forthright language. An interesting feature is a list ap- pended to answer the question ”Can you suggest some of the things a veteran could get a loan for?" In this are enumerated businesses and professions in which the Bank has assisted vet- erans even before the new Act enabled them to extend longer-term loans. _ The booklet sticks to answering questions and doesn't preach, but it makes no bones about saying that the veteran must have a sound business proposition. And that is as it should be. The veterans’ own money, their own enthus- iasms and prospects for the future, go into these new businesses, and neither the Govern- ment nor the banks would be doing them a ser- g Q Qsist in ventures foredoomed to hi3. P.E.l. Lrhdars Load Lobster canneries in the three Maritime Provinces turned out bigger aggregate output in 1946 than in 1945 though there weren't quite so many of them operating, says the Fisheries News Bulletin. In 1945 there were 141 plants canning lobst-ers and in 1946 only 136 but the smaller number put up 10 per cent larger pack or 66,175 cases as against 59,685. Even at that, of course, total pack was probably not sufficient to take care. of all the demand which will present itself before canning begins again in the spring of '47. ° ‘Throughout the I946 lobster conning soo- sons all of the 136 plants in operation were subject to thorough inspection by Federal fish- eriss officers. The plants had all to obtain operating permits in ths first place, of course, and to get permits they had to satisfy certain specific requirements as to construction, equip- rnsnt, sanitation, etc., and tho purpose of the subsequent inspections waf to make certain that ‘Ill of ths provisos relating to canning lobsters wore observed while packing was in progress. All told, 74$ giant inspections wars mods and thll assent that, on tho average, each cannery seas ‘lsspsctsd between flvo and six times dur- I'll Ill-short rating led. . ‘Mace Emil ltlo’n.d gsts ths credit for ', Ih 1945- lobster tannoriss in this Province packed 26,465 cases or the equivalent. In New Brunswick there were 46 plants ot work in the lobster conning areas and their "score” was 20,150 cases. lf pack was larger in New Brunswick and Prince Edward the situation was different, however, in Nora Scotia. , While the New Brunswick canners were lifting their output approximately 4,000 cases above the '45 level, and in Prince Edward Is- land the increase exceeded 3,400 cases, the pack in Nova Scotia decreased by more than 900. The explanation, according to the Bulletin, of the Nova Scotia reduction was probably to be found in the marketing of an increased number of live lobsters. Once upon a time nearly all of Canada's commercial catch of lobsters went into cans but nowadays a large part of it is shipped to market "in the shell." $2 Meals For ll Dollar mans Hansard, which tells its own story: Mr. Mitchell: My hon. friends do not need to go any farther than this chamber if they want to look at socialism. It all comes back to the question of subsidy. In the parliamentary restaurant you can get a two-dollar meal for one dollar-— Mr Caldwell: We do not. Mr. Mitchell-and the taxpayers pay the difference. Mr. Smith (Calgary West): You have not had many two-dollar meals, if you coll that one. Mr. Mitchell: It is a matter of opinion. Mr. Gillis: l do not believe that should get in the press. — EDITORIAL NUTIiS — Premier Jones is to be the guest of the Charlottetown branch of the Canadian Legion on Thursday (tomorrow) night. A Peterborough, Eng., lady writes: "Thought you'd like the latest austerity tip for keeping warm in bed these cold nights. Friend of ours wears his bicycle clips round the bottom of his pyjama legs. This stops them working up and thus keeps his legs worm." Seems like he's "crank-y”! _ Napoleon escaped from his confinementat Elba this data 1815, when France rallied to him, and he once more assumed dictatorial powers, and challenged the European coalition to un- seat him. The battle of Waterloo on June 18 was the answer to this challenge, and on that occasion the Dictator was sent to St. Helena, where in 1821 hs died. I Q were a Premier Hart says it is not the intention of ths provincial government to levy a sales tax in British Columbia to make possible the pay- ment of a larger pension for the province's sen- ior citizens. Reports said that the Government was planning to impose a sales tax for such a purpose. ' . One cannot but admire the patience, even optimism of people in the old land these days. A correspondent in Edinburgh writes: ”We are having cold stormy weather and heavy snow- fall this yeor. With the coal shortage it is a bit difficult to keep tho house warm, but we are not so badly off as some folk in the South which gives us ground for thankfulness.” Sure- ly a lesson in appriecigtinig smal-l mercies. a a w Mr. MocNaught is following in the foot- steps of Mr. A. E. McLean in making it his prime and constant duty to look after the in- terests of his constituents first, foremost and all the time, leaving to his party chiefs the more responsible duty of attending to the af- fairs of State and Canada's interests generally. Ha recognizes he is a member of a team, and "plays up and plays the game." I U D I An Old Age Pensioners Organization, (On- tario division) has petitioned the Government in the following terms: ”We would respectfully bog to suggest that a Federal Old Age Pension be set up at not less than Six Hundred Dollars par person o year. This in effect would mean that a man and wife over the prescribed .age set by the Government, which we are convinced should be not over sixty-five, would be in receipt of a visible income of not less than Twelve Hun- drod Dollars per year; and, to offset the in- crease in cost of living since 1939, a Cost-of- Living Bonus of 30 per cent should be applied to all pensions, which could be increased or de- creased from time to time, should the cost of living so warrant this being done. The Cos't-of- Living Bonus to hoveino force or effect on basic pension." . Over fifty years ago, Robert Louis Steven- son learned that one=of his friends had o small daughter who felt cheated because her birth- day fell on Christmas Day and, consequently, she only received one set of presents for two such important occasions. So Stevenson im- mediately wrote offering to change birthdays and, since he was trained as a lawyer before he turned writer and poet, hs put his letter into legal terms. Rose-Mary Sands, speaking in a recent BBC programme, quoted 11.1.. S.’s letter as follows:"’A Deed of Gift of a Birthday. In consideration that Miss Annie H. Ids was born out of all reason upon Christmas Day and is, therefore, out of all iuctice, denied ths con- sidorotion and profit of a proper birthday, and considering that I hars_ottoined an age when we never mention it, I now having no further use for a birthday of any description, have trans- ferred and do hereby transfer all _ond whole my rights and privrlsgss in the 13th day of Novem- bor to the sold Annis H.
