requests for criticisms.
It is hard to find any justification
for a law that says thal,•tkie ,aloe
a man dies, he becomes deeply 'in.
debted to the Crown, ttiou h he
owed it nothing the minute before:
and that this new debt is a tars:
charge against his ,etat.e.
What -can a man do in nrs death ,
bed to put himself su suddenly 'in
debt to the government? He can '
do nothing but depart this life
Should he owe the goverument
anything for that? Must he pa}:
for the right CO die in his own bed?-
' We have never found one sound'
justification for taxing the estates
of the dead,'.or for taxing widows
and orphans just because t
have been bereaved of their hus-
band or father.
ALL, we have 'been able to
find is the discreditable excuse
that the government; needs the
money and there is no one to
prevent it from taking it.'
It can hardly be expected that
governments' that make such laws
will be very scrupulous about the
provisions they make for collecting
the tribute they impose. The

the proposed I,egrstatian riitn'tate

people more interested m collect-

taxpayers with any degree of fair-
ness.
The requests for criticism did
not apply to the principle of taxing
estates, but only to the provisions
for collecting the money. Still,
some of the criticisms are very.

much to 'the point.
Strong objection has been raised
to taxes that throttle the efforts
of an, individual to provide for his
dependents; also to taxes that are,
in effect, levies on capital; and the
payment of which impairs the abil-
ity of the dead man's business to

Anothgrr big week -end
coming
coming up ?
Yes, a summer week -end can mean a lot of fun for you
and your family. But it means a lot of other• things,
too—many more cars on the highway, many more
drivel's in'a hurry to start their week- nd or to get
home again. It can also mean many more accidents
and more patients for hospital emergency wards. If
you're taking the family ,away for the week -end in
your car, be sensible about it. Watch your speed.
As.oidim.R• iente_. Drive so,,,th_ at,_,x'ou__an�3 amour family .
—and the other drivers yotheeet on the road—arrive
alive. When you're on the road, always, drive at a
speed that will enable you to stopin the distance
between you and the car ahead. At night, drive at the
speed that will enable you 'to,. stop within headlight
range. If you are tired or inattentive, do not drive at
all. Make next week -end .a big week -end 'but make
sureyou enjoy it properly ... not in a hospital bed.
Your Ontario Department of Transport urges you Ur --
observe the speed limits„—slow down and live.
carry on and keep Its' workers
employed.
Objection has also been taken to
the government practice of taking,
all the cash and the quick assets of
an estate and leaving widows and
• orphans to - wrestIe with the doubt-
ful and less salable assets.
Criticism has also been made
of the provision giving the tax
officials power to make arbit-
rary decisions and to enforce •
them without reference to the
courts.
- One • section -of the- .Art is said
m el
the officials to co
to empower p
payment of taxes ori '"fi'c'titious
values; and another is said to auth-
orize collection by means that
would shock Scrooge • or Shylocii
Still another section makes • t e
executor of an- estate personally
j liable if he distributes'any property
on which, the taxes are not fully
' paid.
-In addition to all these objection-
, able features there is a serious
omission of any provision for of -
r facially closing an account: Tax'
officials believe that it is safer t�
I collect too npuch, than too., little,
and that it is better not to settle
a disputed point at all than. to
i settle it the wrong way. C>onse-
quently, when there is any doubt,
;they vont to be on the safe side
j and will 'leave disputed points un-,
settled indefinitely rather than
make a decision that might 'be
I questioned higher up. {
One critic writes that, through- ,
I out the whole proposed -wet, -4th.-- f
runs a spirit of hostility toward

OUT ON A LIMB .
WITH .1E3ILt SMILEY • ,
Coming up; dead anead,•, is just
about the biggest week -end of the
year for Canadians. It has an
exhilaration that no other week-
end, on our calendar produces.
Hearts are light and gay because
it's the official opening of sunder.

' According to an old superstition,
summer really begins on June 21st.
But try to tell' that to a. school
teacher, glassy -eyed in a miasma
of chalk -dust and warm running
shoes, as she labors through the
last week of classes with children
whose minds and hearts have fled
the classroom to the great, green
outdoors.
* * *
Try to tell it to the resort oper-
ator, whose cabins are as empty as
his cash register, whose boats squat
on the shore like so many gutted
crocodiles, whose. dining -room
echoes only to the lonely tread of
his wife, as she limps in from the
kitchen to see if there's any point
in preparing `dinner.
* * *
Nope. Summer begins on the
last week -end in ,Lune, and we
might as well. admit it. That's
when the hordes of children pour
forth in a tidal wave from their
class rooms, filled with a wonder-
ful' sense of freedom. Which will
last about 48 hours.
* *
That's when the factory worker,
who, has spent 11% months over
a workbench, or putting round pegs
in • square holes, sets off, aquiver
with Life, for his two -weeks -with -
pay, ready te half -kill himself golf-
ing, swimming, drinking beer,
dancing, or whatever is his pleas-
ure,before crawling'
back,k, spent,
but
content, to the Shrieking -mon-
otony of his job.
* s *
Mothers who have spent the past
10 months crawling out of bed to
find clean socks and blouses, to
totter about the. kitchen making
toast with peanut butter and jam,
have a new spring in their step,
and .a smile in their heart, as they
go humming about the job of pack-
ing for the cottage. Theirs is the
der ihnWrmth that comes from
the knowledge- that for the next
+two months, they'll get meals when
they damwell feel like, it, and do
the washing ditto.
* *,
For* the bass 'fisherman, a breed
as peculiar 'in " his' way as' the deer
hunter, this is the big week=end of
the year. It means two beautiful
months •ahead, of baking to a crisp
in an open boat, lashing various
bodies of water with miscellaneous
hardware; and drinking skunky
beer. Sheer joy,
of its servants.
EXPERTS SOLVE DRY
CLEANING PROBLEMS
A dry cleaner must be on his
toes these days. New textile fibres,
new fabric blends, new ways of
treating the old 'familiar fabrics,
all mean the dry cleaner inust con-
' stantly • adapt, his techniques., to
keep up wiXff the clothing Can-
adians Wear.
That's why he so frequently seeks
the expert advice of an organiz-
ation in' Ottawa called- the Can,:
adian Research"Institu;e of Laund-
erers and' Dry Cleaners, Support-
ed by its membership of cleaners,
launderers, textile manufacturers
and institutions which have their
own launderies, its job is solving
cleaning problems.
When new clothing.materials are
introduced, the Institute's labora-
tory works out the 'best cleaning
method and reports to members as
quickly as possible. Monthly bul•
leti.ns keep members up-to-date on
all new . developments affecting
their business. Articles damaged,
in cleaning are sent to the Institute
and a full report on the cause of
damage is returned.
