National Farmers' Union, Vice President, Walter Miller, said that the NFU has no intention of recommending that farmers accept the 25% rebate on municipal taxes, as offered by the Ontario government in reply to farmers' demands for a complete revision of the system used in raising money for educational purposes. He said a meeting of Ontario NFU representatives has been arranged with the Hon. Darcy McKeough, Minister of Municipal Affairs, and Hon. Wm. Davis, Minister of Education, in an attempt to develop a process of negotiations to bring about an end to this unjust system of tacation. "You don't cure a cancer by cutting part of it away," he remarked, referring to the stop-gap rebate, or as many farmers have already dubbed it, "election bait." Mr; Miller said the initial decision to withhold taces was started over a year ago by NFU members in southwestern Plested Farm Equipment Trophy — Ruth Wills, Thorndale. Best plowed land under 21.

Symposium next week Area farmers should be interested in the ANIMAL BREEDING SYMPOSIUM to be held Tuesday, November 3rd at Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, Huron Park, Ontario. Dr. J. D. W. King, a widely respected meat animal researcher from Edinburgh, Scotland will be the main speaker. He will talk on "Swine Breeding Developments in the United Kingdom" at 2 p.m. an d on "Beef Breeding Developments in the United Kingdom" at 7:30 p.m. A question period and refreshments will follow each presentation. With the recent introduction of several new beef and swine breeds into Ontario, here is an excellent opportunity to find out how breeders in other countries are facing this challenge. Ontario which, during the winter months became province wide and was fully endorsed by a meeting of some 1600 members last June. He said the recent retreat of OFA, who came into the program after it was launched and abandoned it before many taxes were due, causes farmers to question whether it was embraced as a concern for farmers or simply as, a tool for OFA publicity. "OFA leaders undertaking now to convince farmers to pay taxes at such a crucial time is nothing but a sell out and clearly illustrates they are maintaining the old tradition of trying to convince farmers to accept government policy," he said. Mr. Miller said NFU farmers made the decision to withhold taxes, and that decision will prevail, at least until a Regional Meeting scheduled for November 9 & 10th, when members will be able to evaluate government intentions toward correcting a tax system they know cannot be justified. Disturbed! R 1 Dashwood, Ont. October 26, 1970 The Editor Exeter Times-Advocate Exeter, Ont. Dear Sir: I couldn't help but be disturbed when I read your article two weeks ago re: the 25% rebate the government wants to hand out to the farmers of this province. At the end of the article, the reporter said that he had attempted to contact Mr. Gordon Hill but was unable to reach him for comment. However, I did not see where any effort was made to ask NFU executive or members for their reaction to this. Surely a man in your position is aware that the farmers in Ontario firmly denounced the Ontario Federation of Agriculture as their official voice. Since then people have realized that in order for farm legislation to be effective, it must be national in scope and so too, if a farm organization is to truly represent the wishes of the farmers, and be free of provincial prejudices, it must be set up nationally. Therefore the National Farmers' Union has been chartered and is the voice of the farmers in Canada and since it is free of any political affiliation, is able to act as the farmers desire and not as some political party allows it. It didn't take a genius to figure out some months ago when the OFA started shouting militancy and withholding of taxes, that something would be handed out by the provincial government to make them look like the "good guys." As far as I am concerned, this 25% rebate is nothing more than a political pacifier. It is another attempt to pit the urban dwellers against the rural citizens (those farmers are getting another tax concession, they say). If they were to stop and think they too would know that the 25% rebate will be absorbed, and then some, within a year and a half due to the proposed increase in taxes and the people will be worse off than they are now. What's more, nothing will have been done to change the legislation re: the education taxation system with its many injustices. Mr. Roy Jewell's comment illustrated the situation very well when he said this incident reminded him of the millionaire playboy who gave his mistress a mink coat. . . He didn't know if it was to keep her warm or shut her up. Yours truly, Maxine E.
