REPORT FROM QUEEN'S PARK BY HURRAY GAUNT M.P.P. HURON - BRUCE • The big news this week at the .Legislature was the presentation of the budget by Treasurer John White. Mr. White imposed stiff new taxes on land and property specu- lators. The amount of the tax will amount to a 50% tax on any land or house saleS profits deemed by the Province as in excess of real value. Mr. White said speculation in real estate bids up prlees.artific- ially , increases the cost of hous- ing and generates unwarranted windfall gains. Ontario pensioners , blind and disabled ; will be paid the highest guaranteed annual income in Canada, $2';600 for singles and $5 ,200 for couples from July lstl. The Treasurer said the Province also\Will pay drug costs for about 641,000 people receiving federal guaranteed income supplements , family benefits and welfare pay- ments beginning,September 1st at a cost of. $20 million a year. The new income supplements provide for a maxi- mum payment by Ontario of $25.61 a Month for single pension- ers and $68.84 for couples.

Usu- ally you buy more of the expen- sive kinds of food , tender steak, vegetables and fruit out of seas- on, and convenience foods. After reading this you probably won't feel any better about food prices, especially today. But we wanted you to know that farm families are just as concerned as you are. Remember, you and,the farmers wife are in thesame boat; it keeps on costing/more.
