Members of the House of Com- mons at Ottawa and members of the Ontario Legislature act and do their work in two entirely separate fields. This is quite dif- ferent to the system in Britain, where there is only one govern- ment and all departments are under one authority, Under the British North Am- erica Act all subject matters of legislation are apportioned •be- tween the Dominion Parliament and the Provincial Legislatures, and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario acts in a legislative field which gives it sovereign power with absolute authority over its territory and the people and the property within it. The provinces are allocated sixteen subjects: Amendments of the constitution of the province; direct taxation within the prov- ince; borrowing of money on the sole credit of the province; est- ablishment and tenure of prov- incial offices; appointment and payment of provincial offices; management and sale of public lands belonging to the province; establishment, maintenance and IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, Paint Sale Stock Clearance MOORE'S DULAMEL Semi -Gloss Finish For Walls, Woodwork Reg. $1.95 PER QUART e$1.39 PER $6 GALLON$4.95 Wallpaper Sale CONTINUES 29c - 39c - 49c Per Single Roll W.

Federal Prerogatives At the time of Confederation in Canada, it was realized that many of the matters affecting the rights of individuals as well as property rights woUld, be quite different from province to prov- ince owing to the varying con- ditions in such a vast territory, and the different views affecting these rights. For this reason, mat- ters relating to the national economy as a whole, such as 'na- tional welfare, national defence, steamboat shipping, etc., collec- tion of customs and excise taxes and indirect taxation in general, were recognized as the preroga- tives of the dominion govern- ment. The building of highways, jur- isdiction over education, and any matters relating to the muni- cipalities were recognized as com- ing within the scope of the prov- ince. , In several departments, such as health, agriculture, mining, and natural resources, •both Govern- ments exercise jurisdiction, and at.utimes there is a tendency to- wards overlapping of services. As time goes on there appears to be a growing tendency for the Federal Government to extend and enlarge its field of taxation and to absorb some of the activ- ities of the Provincial Govern- ment. For instance, under the National Old .Age Pension Act, the Federal ,Government pays 100% of the •$40,00 per month pension to all people over the age of 70 years. To pay for this, a special tax is levied, being paid at the same time as the Personal Income Tax. pld age assistance, payable at 95, depends upon total income and one is not eligible if income (including the allowance) exceeds $720.00 per year for single per- sons and $1,200.00 per year for married couples. This is admin- istered •by the Provincial Govern- ment, and the cost shared equally by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Receives Grants In 1952 the Dominion and Prov- incial Government entered into an agreement whereby the prove ince receives lunip sum grants from the federal government. The province, in return, relin- quished the right to collect per- sonal income taxes, and allowed the federal government exclusive jurisdiction in the field of cor- poration taxes. This is noted to show the need for periodic exam- ination of our laws and practices and meet changing conditions, especially where jurisdiction may overlap. In agriculture, the federal gov- ernment concerns itself with the national aspect of agriculture, in- cluding the export and import of farm products, research a n d science. The province goes into more detail with the promoting, Topics From - Thames Road By MRS. 1VILLIAM RHODE Personal Items Mr.. Wilfred Hunkin is a pa- tient in South Huron Hospital again.

The agricultural col- leges, as is well known, are op- erated by the province. Also, ag- ricultural representatives and all their activities come under prov- incial jurisdiction. At times there is a misunder- standing among citizens, not only of the differnece in activities of the Federal and Provincial Mem- ber, but also in the salaries re- ceived. Since the new act was passed in Ottawa a few years ago, a federal member's salary is $10,- 000 per year, $8,000 being tax- able as income and the other $2,000 tax free for expenses. In Ontario, the salary of a provincial member, as a 'result of the act passed in 1952, is $2,600 taxable, and $1,300 tax free. The House of Commons, of course, is in session for at least six months each year, whereas the provincial legislature usually sits for two months each spring. The Story In Shipka By MRS.
