1 know my readers 'have been
waiting with bated.. 'breath for
Smiley who seems to be ,against
most things, to launch his
expected fiery attack on federal
MPs for ,Ening themselves. 0
magnificent pay increase.
Sorry, chaps, I'll just have to:
dppiyois. •time, for
couple nt of reasonsu,
First of all, I could speer with
the tongue of angels,or devils,..
and the boysin the Big
i + % `
would ignore t. If they wouldn't
pay any attention to John Diiefen-
baker, who speaks in such
tongues, they certainly wouldn't'
to Bill Smiley.
Second" of all, and themain
reason I havesnot erupted; /0 144
I think our federal elected ,mem«
bers should have enough money
so that they will . be free from,
temptation, and so that the pose»
tion does not become one only for
wealthy people who can afford to
be an MP, because they have.
other income.
I know, and it is true, that MPs
have some other perks: free
Servi
Dlrect�ry
mailing, travel privileges, meal
and accoz<lr MOdation payments
while on government : business,
allowances for offices and secre-
taries.
In cash, their income, at
$34,600, is worth more than
$40,000 because a good chunk of it
is tax-free. That's 'a pretty fair
income, even with inflation. But
it's not wild luxury. It's not
exactly Arabian Nights. It's not
the sort of loot on which you are
going to have orgies or get rich.
I don't have to tell you
because they will tell you them-
selves, at inordinate length —
that an MP has extraordinary
expenses. You've heard it all:
giving up his business or profes-
sion ; keeping two homes; being
expected to contribute to every
cause in his riding, however
trivial; being expected to enter-
tain when Homer and Emily drop
in on him at Ottawa; having to
buy a raffle ticket on anything
going, and so on. It's a lot of
chickenfeed that builds up into a
pile of dollars.

"Backed by 16 years of
Experience"
g
f f somebody asks me. to give a
donation to the South Northum-
berland Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Pregnant Cats, I
can tell him to get stuffed, drop
dead, or blow it out his ears. The
MP for that riding must smile
gamely, and hawk up a five. And
so it goes.
This is no apology for MPs.
They are the ones who should be
apologizing. Not for the increase.
But for the incredible ineptness of
the timing. Out of one side of their
mouths. they are supporting a
program of restraint for business
and labor. Out of the other side
they are muttering a shamefaced
"Aye", or absenting themselves
for the vote, when it comes to
giving themselves an increase
that is 92 per cent over what they
were making in 1970.
I admired those MPs who
bluntly said they needed the in-
crease and would vote for it. I
have nothing but contempt for
those who snuck in on .their
braver brothers' and sisters'
coattails.
Nor do I have much time for
people like Diefenbaker, who
made a grandstand play out of it
by pointing'the finger of scorn at
others. At hisage, and with no
family, and no political future, he
doesn't -need it: He's got a fat pen-
sion, plus the old -age pension,
waiting- for him.
But his leader, Robert Stanfield
the millionaire, doesn't need it
either, and he voted for the
increase, for the sake of others,
who do need it.
It seems like a lot of money, but
it forces some questions. Is an
MP with all his . extra expenses,
worth more than a letter carrier
— five times more,in cash?
Should an MP be worth about
-the same as two and a half high
school teachers? Is he worth less,
from an income point bf view,
than an Air Canada pilot, who
flies a maximum of 75 hours a
. month, for just over $50,000?
Is the MP as valuable, in cash
terms, as about three steel-
workers?
If your answer to . these ques-
tions is no, then you are either a
letter carrier,, a school teacher, a
pilot, a steelworker, or a dam -
fool.
When an MP. received $10,000 a.
year for about five months' work,
and was able to keep his own
business or profession going, he
was rich.
Today, how many first -rats
professional men, who have
worked hard" to build a practice
that is bringing in $50,000 a year,
are going to throw it up for the
hazards of a political career,
where it might be here today and.
gone tomorrow?
At the other end. of the financial
scale, the bright able young man
or woman who has a low income
and could not possibly finance a
run for parliament, will be
encouraged to take a shot at it.
There's no point in saying:
"Pay them what they're worth".
Some MPs would be in the bread-
line and others would be million-
aires.
But there is some point in
giving the office some dignity,
economically as well as socially
and politically.
Despite what you may think,
there is precious little corruption
in Canada at the MP level. All the
big money in corruption is at a
different level.
Let's ,keep it that way. Pay a
Member of •Parliament enough
so that: a) he is not tempted into
nefarious practices to make a
living; b) he or she does not have
to be wealthy to make a run at it.
This way, we'll get the most for
our money.
But that pension plan for Ml's
is another matter: I haven't
space here to comment on it. All I
can do is weep bitter tears and
suggest that never in the field of
human endeavor will so few have
been paid so much for so little.

Agricultural Tidbits
with Adrian Vos
One wonders what it takes to
convince some well educated
people that there are only 100
cents in a dollar? They,say; "It's
only a cent," and they go on
spenging one cent after the other.
Only when they are down tothe
last'two-bits they begin to wonder
where the dollar went,
Ontario's Environment Minis-
try does our spending that way.
When confronted with protests
over sewage lagoons which ate at
least one hundred acres 9each,
they stated that a hundred acres
is insignificant compared with
what agricultural land is left.
There is a difference with the
people who are spending that
dollar. When agricultural land is
down to `two -bits" it will be a
different minister to count the
pennies.
