HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1948-09-01, Page 2In one respect the government pol-
icy is similar to that of the 16-year
de Valera regime which ended last
February. Costello's cabinet still wants
.to end partition-separation of northern
Irrelnd and Eire--mss soon as possible,
Meantime the Prime Minister and his
!widely varying colleagues are doing
'what most Irishmen account a good
jco-1:, in leading the country through
multifarious postwar difficulties.
i' PROBABLE PROBE OF
i
FARM PRICE SPREAD
Agriculture Minister Kennedy re-
cently expressed the opinion that it
may be necessary to set up a Royal
Commission tb determine whether the
spread between what the farmer gets
for his producs and what the con-
sumer pays for them is justified. He
estimated that the gross value of all
agriculture products in Ontario this
year will exceed $1 billion and of 'this
immense sum, the 180,000 farmers in
the province will average a net of less
than $2,000.
A year ago when the gross figure
was $852 million, all the farmers got
back was $240 million, or an average
of $1,333. One factor that builds up
the consumer price is taxes and an-
other is inefficient distribution. Mr,
[Kennedy said that "if we can find
!anything to make food cheaper, we
1 would be doing a good thing" and he
;also declared, "I believe that all the
things entering into the production of
:food should be tax free."
Mr. Kennedy cited the case of pot-
atoes and apples, as an example of the
.spread between the producer and the
consumer. Ontario No. 1 new potatoes
in Toronto are now bringing the far- , „titers $1.35 per 75-pound bag, f.o.b.

OTTAWA LOOKING FOR
OWNERS OF MONEY
The Revenue Department is look-
ing for 56,023 persons who have mail-
ed to receive so far the $2,250,000
compulsory savings they paid in 1942,
The cheques, averaging about $40
each, should have been mailed out last
March, but the Income Tax Branch
hasn't been able to locate the present
addresses of the people in this group,
which represents 4.7 per cent of the
tax payers who paid compulsory sav-
ings in 1942.
Stenographers and factory girls who
have married and changed both name
and address have proved the most elu-
sive reciyients, In a total of 1,178,000
eligible recipients, the department has
had to cope with 744,545 new names
or addresses. Only 40 per cent of these
showed enough interest in the money
to volunteer the information lbout
