"Parliament is by far the expensive institution we have in Canada,” the Huron member stated. “Instead of showing im­ provement as time goes on, it is becoming worse and worse.” Mr. Cardiff criticized the long session of parliament blaming it on lack of proper co-ordination. “The government neglects to bring forward its legislation in proper form, necessitating delays that could be greatly overcome by a little well-directed thought and foresight on its part. Another example of expensive waste is the Canadian Senate, Mr, Cardiff said, “where we have a body of men operating at a great disadvantage—a governing body that could, if reformed, be of unlimited value to the Parlia­ ment of Canada. “Senate reform was brought up in the House of Commons just the other day by George Drew, but of course wasn’t given any support at all by the Prime Minister, who each time it is mentioned, shies away from it like a scared rabbit. Due to the long term of office by the Libe­ ral Government, and the fact that the Prime Minister makes the appointments to the Senate, the Conservatives have only 7 members left in the Senate out of 96, the result being that Sen­ ate reform is long overdue. Yet nothing is done about it. Taxes Are High “We in Canada have a high- taxed economy. It has become more and more difficult under these tax structures, to compete with other countries. “T h e Canadian Government has taxed the Canadian indust­ ries out of world markets. For instance, in the year 1.939 the tax on Canadian Corporations was 18%. Today it is 49%. On top of this the Ca'nadian Manu­ facturers have a 10 % sales tax imposed at. the manufacturers level, and then to add pain to injury, some industries have a 1.5% excise tax. “How could you expect the manufacturer to emerge from under a^ tax structure like this and with only that Canada compared to other coun­ tries, and you have in no small degree the reason for the un­ favourable balance of trade. “In 1952 we had a favourable balance of trade of $3’25,000.000. In 195'3 we had an unfavourable balance of trade to the extent of $200,1000,000. Jn other words, we have priced ourselves out of world markets. “The manufacturers are told to reduce costs and that is good advice, but how can a manufac- most still compete effectively world markets, and this is part of the trouble.

Mrs. Freeman Horne viisited Sunday eve- sharply the imports of Canadian rye for the balance of the pre­ sent crop marketing year, and for the whole of the year 1954- 55. Rye is much less important to Canada’s economy than seve­ ral other grains, but it is by do means insignificant. "The rye episode is disturbing chiefly because it marks a con­ tinuation of a restrictive policy embarked on by Washington. It follows the imposition of similar curbs on the movement of dairy products into the United States, an action particularly affecting Canadian Cheddar Cheese and dried milk. It is of the same order as the threat to clamp import quotas on oats, a fairly substantial item in Canadian trade with the U.S.A. "These restrictions were not imposed simply because the Ca­ nadian Government yielded to pressure and adopted a voluntary reduction in shipments. Canada agreed in effect to cut in half its exports to the United States for an approximate 10 months period,ending next October. Ot­ tawa may have hoped to per­ suade Washington to mend its ways trade wise. "Right now there is no rea­ son to believe we will receive any better treatment next fall when these restrictions are lifted. On the contrary, the United States Government appears committed to a policy for an indefinite per­ iod, of restricting imports of certain products, mainly agri­ cultural, which we all know are surplus in the United States. Rumours are that barley will be next in line. ‘'The fact that these restrict­ ive measures run completely counter to an international pact, j the general agreement' on tariffs and trade, has made little or no difference to American policy. Canada has every reason to be dissatisfied with the .present trend of trade relations with our most important single customer.’’ Down By Haying “I-Iang hoe!” How often have 'been sung. . „ farmer today is doing just that. Along with them he’s hanging up the pitch fork. One local hard­ ware merchant admits times are changing. He sells less pitch­ forks every year. No, we don’t believe the far­ mer is lazy. This is the age of mechanization. Forage harvest­ ers and pick-up balers are the more efficient and much cheaper than a man with a pitchfork, at the present wage level. Ask any young teenager today to pitch hay. Not only teenagers but any grown man.

If we were to rely solely on cus­ tom operation, baling would be first choice. Hay can be handled with a higher moisture content into -a bale than hay chopped in­ to a mow. This gives the farmer a better cha.nce of saving more good hay in the rush season, when perhaps 20 men are breath­ ing down the neck of one poor lone custom operator. Unless the weather is exceptionally good some of the 20 farmers are go­ ing to have some very poor hay. Hay can be baled too dry as well as too wet. Take note of the leaves flying around some hot day. A small cloud of them hovers over the machine. There is a trail of them under the ■pick-up.
