Solute to the Farmer
SUGAR
AND SPICE
by Bill Smiley
This Family Taxes Us All
All across Oanade these days,
municipal councils have been
wrestling with the iirch-villain
of all time, 0 mysterious mons-
ter veiled The Budget
Although he is made up from
combination of conerete things
like sewers and schools and
sireets, The Budget himself is
rin abstract thing, lie Is like The
Devil. You can't see 1010 01' hear
him or even smell him. You
can't reelle. understand him, but
you know he is them a blind,
malignant creature that cannot
he controlled,
You can fight hint and, get
a bloody nose. You can hammer
at him, chisel at hum, chop at
him - and all you fief are a
broken hammer, a dull chisel
and a blunted axe,
The Budget is like L111 octopus,
He grows bigger every year. His
appetite increases, his tentacles
become longer and stronger and
more strangling as lie grows.
And when you try to come to
grips with him, he exudes a
cloud of black (or red) ink
which obscures him from view.
Of what ingredients is The
Budget composed? Neatly, lie's a
twwheeded monster, a regular
Siamese twin.
on the one hand, it is just a
big bundle of sugar and spice:
new schools; new industries: a
new library or community
centre; wider streets: better
lighting, sewage disposal and
snow plowing. Progress, culture,
civilization, comfort Al first
glance it appears that The
Budget is the most desirable
thing man has dreamed up since
The Devil.
And on the other hand, he is
snags and snails and puppy-dog
tails. That's what little towns are
made of. And big towns too.
And the reason for all this, of
course, is that The Budget, this
big, ugly, unmanageable brute
who is impervious to human
feeling, fell in love, by some
chemical accident, 141100 a mere
hulking hunk Of a boy, with a
a girl culled Wily Rate. Most of
us know her as Mill.
She is Just as unprepossessing
as her husband. She is steely
eyed, relentless, unscrupulous
and absolutely without mercy,
charm, pity, looks, or any of the
qualities we normally associate
with that lovely creation known
as the female of the species, I
have known Mill Rate since she
was a girl, and I am here to
state, without Apology, that she
is a pig,
It's difficult to believe that
such a union could produce pro-
geny. But it did. His name is
Taxes,
Taxes' career has been about
what you would expect from
such parents, He was an un-
pleasant child from the begin.

ed at every turn, whiney, de-
mantling.
He hasn't changed much, ex-
cept that he's grown, He is now
a big slob, over-fed, under.
worked, menacing if he doesn't
get his allowance right on time,
sulky if some of it is held back,
But he has a lot of promise.
Around election time, lie's
going to cut the lawn, and wash
the car, and paint the trim and
smarten the old place up so you
wouldn't know it,
Out somewhere along the line,
something goes haywire. He cuts
the trees, paints the lawn, and
washes the lake, and figures,
after one year, that his allow.
ance is not big enough.
.For some reason - and it
certainly isn't his winning per-
sonality - Taxes has become
the most-talked-about man in
town, Mayors develop dyspepsia,
councilors coronaries, when
they try to deal with this delin-
quent,
They can't quite handle him.
He talks so glibly of govern.
ment grants on outdoor toilet
systems under the winter works
program, and potential pot-holes
in the roads, and (with a heart-
rending sob) of the people on
welfare, that he bamboozles
councilors with eyes like agates,
and mayors with hearts of gran-
ite.
All I can say is that the mu-
nicipal councils have my bless-
ing as they strive to cope with
Taxes, out of Mill Rate and The
Budget.
