Harris Canada's consumer price index topped 140 in November. In other words, since the yardstick is based on a figure 100 for the year 1949, prices of consumer goods and services have risen by 40 per cent in 16 years. This represents a very substantial hike in living costs, but for wage and salary earners there has been a more than offsetting increase in incomes. The index figure for the average of weekly wages and salaries in all types of business and industry, also compiled by the Bureau of Statistics on a base of 100 for 1949, now stands at 212 — an increase of more than 100 per cent over the 16 years. This improvement in workers' incomes, of course, is small comfort to persons living on fixed incomes. Pensions or other forms of savings do not appre- ciate. Those who have no other source of income are the ones who really suffer the penalties of higher living costs. Higher labor costs have been one factor in the price rise, but higher government spending must be another. Back in 1949 total spending by all govern ments in Canada was $3.7 billion; in 1964, latest year for which the figures are available, the total was $14.6 billion. One important element in this increase has been the rise in public spending on elementary and secondary school education — from $407 million in 1949 to $2.1 billion in 1964. Another has been the rise in spending on health and welfare measures — from $810 million in 1949 to about $4.5 billion in 1964. Most people have some idea of how much more they are paying now than 16 years ago towards school costs. Even though provincial and federal spending on education is paid by indirect taxation, at least the municipal share is shown on local tax bills — which means higher property taxes for home owners and higher rents for tenants. But the higher costs for health and welfare services are not so obvious. Only a small part of such spending is paid for by direct charges on the individual tax- payer.
