Whether it is more expedient in the minds of men to pay a tax that is not duly legislated or to refrain from so doing until such tax becomes law, that is .the question. Opposition members of the Legislature challenged the authority of the Provincial Government to collect the ad- ditional two per cent sales tax, but Revenue Minister Allan Grossman informed them that the increase from five to seven per cent would continue to be collected, as it has been since May first, even though accom- panying legislation has still to be passed by the House. Grossman indicated that this is just one of many examples of a practice which has been followed for years without challenge since retroactive legislation has followed a well established precedent of this House, Stephen Lewis, N.D.P. leader, interjected that the precedent had been challenged by opposition members repeatedly in the past. Every member of the op- position voiced his objection to the two per cent increase as the debate continued in the House, but the bill passed its second reading, on the strength of the Conservative majority. It is presently being debated clause by clause and if it passes the third reading, it will be given Royal Assent and only then does it become law, Liberal Leader, Robert Nixon challenged the Conser- vatives at Queen's Park to take their increase in the retail sales tax to the court of the people. He called Treasurer John White the Conservative Gover- nment's gravedigger, claiming that the tax increase has sealed the tide of the Davis Govern- ment. The $45 million hydro building contract, which has been questioned many times in the Legislature in recent mon- ths by Opposition Leader Robert Nixon, has become in Nixon's words, a "Bill Davis Watergate". Ontario Hydro, three years ago, paid nearly $1.5 million to architects to design a tnew office building, but then scrapped the plans and signed a contract with a development company, Canada Square Ltd., to build the of- fices, The leaders of the two Opposition parties called for a public inquiry into the circum- stances surrounding the building of new offices for On- tario Hydro, and although Nixon favoured an in- vestigation by, a Royal Com, mission because of political patronage involved in the award of the contract to Canada Square, Premier Davis decided in favour of a select committee of seven Progressive Conservatives, two Liberals and two New Democrats. Mr, Lewis was pleased that the Legislative committee had been appointed and felt that the committee would discharge its responsibilities properly. Use of Government aircraft by Cabinet Ministers continued to trigger debate in the House as New Democrat, Morton Shulman quizzed Transpor- tation and Communications Minister, Gordon Carton, on trips to Quebec City. The Government has stalled on producing the log books of its aircraft, but is prepared now to release details of flights taken by Ministers and civil servants. It is doubtful whether details of Premier Davis' flights will be revealed for reasons of security. Premier William Davis promised to investigate reports that Ontario taxpayers will foot a $30,000 bill to repair a plane that was damaged in Goderich. The plane carried him on a political campaign trip during the recent by-election in Huron. Liberal Eddie Sargent, who flies his own plane, claimed the damage figure was more like $100,000. Correctional Services Minister Sylvanus Apps, denied charges by Morton Shulman that hardened cons run the Guelph Reform Centre. Inmate committees have been set up in all institutions under the Provincial Ministry as part of a new emphasis on rehabilitation and improving communications and life in the reform centres. Dr. Shulman said certain freedoms of movement allowed the committee executive, had been abused, and such freedom was being used by members to peddle drugs to over 700 in- mates at the Guelph centre. Shulman claimed that drug taking, homosexuality and beatings have soared since t. SuPerintendent Scott Keane took over August first. Apps,,, despite his confidence in Scott Keane, agreed to an in- vestigation into working con- ditions at the Guelph Correc- tional Centre. by a person out- side the Ministry of Correc- tional Services. The Legislature adjourned early on Friday in tribute to the late Premier Leslie Frost and did not sit Monday, the day of Mr, Frost's funeral in Lindsay, Premier Davis broke the sad news of Leslie Frost's death to the House and recalled in very remorseful tone the former Premiers many fine attributes. Both leaders of the Opposition expressed their deepest sym- pathy and extended their con- dolence to the family. Robert Nixon referred to Leslie Frost as not only Mr. Ontario, but the silver haired fox because of his ability to win over his colleagues and the electorate year after year, even though during his tenure of office as Premier, many a feather had been ruffled. When Parliament resumes on Tuesday, it will again set the stage of a three ring circus. Various committees will meet at the same time that the house sits to discuss estimate ex- penditures and policies of the various ministries. Any mem- ber wishing to debate an issue pertaining to some particular aspect of the Ministry under review may do so, but only members appointed to the com- mittee have the privilege of voting. These members consist of Conservatives, Liberals and N.D.P. proportionate to the number of members comprising each party in the Legislature. At the present time yours truly is a member of the standing estimates committee reviewing predicted expenditures of the Attorney General; Ministry. Being a layman amongst lawyers, I think I will be ready to article by the time the com- mittee has completed its responsibilities. The various committees convene after the question and answer period ex- pires in the House and sit for the period of time each day that the House is in session. The discussions in the commit- tee sessions can be every bit as lively as those in the House and in effect they serve . the same purpose. Each expenditure must be passed by a majority vote, and once the committee has voted on all the items, the report must be submitted to the liouie for final, approval The Clinton Lions will be bringing the Goderich Little Theatre's production of "Spring Tonic" to Clinton on May 22 and 23, it was learned at the Lions Club meeting Tuesday night.
