T-A photo Stratford teachers promoted The public is sufficiently aroused at the tax increase, and recent action against one of the retailers demonstrates the folly of the Government in persisting in the application of the 7% sales tax retroactively. Provincial Treasurer, John White had intended that a bill for- malizing the 2% increase in the sales tax would be passed by May 1, but the legislation was stalled in second reading by long opposition debates. The bill is now receiving third reading with iengthy dis- cussions and proposed amendments by opposition members, all of which is futile as the Government feels it has lost all the creditability it can afford to lose by withdrawing the energy tax, In a statement made to the Legislature, Revenue Minister Allan Grossman said the opposition parties were quite accurate in saying that the present retail sales tax is basically 5% rather than the 7% which Ontario retailers have been collecting since May 1, but he suggested that the collection of the retail sales tax at 7% is in keeping with a precedent which recognizes the practice of collecting taxes prior to the enact- ment of enabling legislation. Mr. Grossman has been accused by op- position members of intimidating retailers by telling them to take down the names and addresses of people refusing to pay the tax, so that it can be collected later. N.D,P. leader, Stephen Lewis, has said the tax increase is a disgusting tax illegally imposed. In his statement Mr, Grossman said retailers themselves should collect the tax now because it is in their own interest, Debate on the tax bill is scheduled to continue in the Legislature next week although the legality of collecting a tax until legislation is passed is now being challenged and further debate might be considered improper while action against the 4 collection of the 7% tax was before the courts. Such action was in- itiated by Cameron Smith after an official in the T. Eaton Co. Ltd. store refused to sell him merchandise unless he paid the 7% sales tax. It should be a very interesting case. The House traditionally does not debate matters that are before the courts. Attorney-General Dalton Bales, has introduced amendments to the Law Society Act which will set up a Law Foundation to receive the interest on lawyer's mixed trust accounts, The Foundation will use the money for legal aid, legal education, legal research, and law libraries. The bill proposes that at least 75 per cent of the money go to legal aid. These monies can now be used for public purposes instead of going entirely to private banks and trust companies. A statement by Health Minister, Richard Potter, revealed figures which substantiated his prediction that the monthly cost of the On- tario Health Insurance plan would stabilize in the $40 to $45 million range. The plan cost Ontario taxpayers $39.12 million last August and $42.08 million in September. Dr. Potter said the overall cost of OHIP for the 1972-73 fiscal year would be about $540.85 million. His figures also showed that 379 doctors made more than $10,000 during August, and 402 made in excess of this amount in September. Premier Davis refused to answer questions about his associations with Gerhard Moog when asked by liberal member Eddie Sargent whether he was a guest of Mr. Moog in Florida in 1971 or any other 411 time, and whether any of Mr. Moog's companies had built or repaired the Davis cottage. Premier Davis told the legislature that his private life was his own business but Sargent retaliated by saying that when hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts are involved, (Moog's Canada Square Corporation is presently building a new head office for Ontario Hydro) having been awarded a $44 million contract on a proposal basis . Mr. Davis' association with Mr. Moog did matter to the people of Ontario. Mr. Davis intimated that he never let personal friendships interfere with his judgments as a public servant. Ontario Labour Minister, Fern Guindon, made the statement in the House that he intends to increase benefits paid to injured workers by the Workmen's Compensation Board. He plans to introduce amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Act which will increase the minimum monthly payment for permanent total and partial dis- ability and for widows' pensions from $175 to $250. The ceiling on ear- nings on which benefits are based will be raised from $9,000 a yearto $10,000. The increases will cost about $12.4 million a year or about 713.• per cent over the present costs. Money to pay compensation benefits is levied from employers. The totally disabled, widows and'ehildrenn will receive the major benefits from the increases, as well as those workmen who are temporarily deprived of their usual income from employment. The minimum rate for temporary total disability will also be raised from $40 to $55. The amendments will raise the depen- dent widows' pension minimum from $175 a month to $250 and the minimum monthly benefit to orphan children will be raised from $70 to $80. Allowances for funerals will be raised from $400 to $500. JOHN H.T. CADDOCK John H.T. Caddock, Southcott Pines, Grand Bend, died at Victoria Hospital London, May 12, 1973 in his 83rd year.
