***We told our colleagues earlier last week that the picture of the'
racoon being shot on last week's front page wasn't really front-page
material,' but that we thought perhaps it "might stir something up.
Aide stir something up it did as you will see on other .pages of
Goderich's largest weekly: We by no means thought Wis.-picture an.
action shot. We 'didn't even like It, but left it up to the good
judgement of our readers`: Personally, we to c4nndt understand why
such a hartilless animal has to befelled with sa gun. Ves,, there is a
possibility of rabies, but surely there must be a better method. One,

***Even editors get surprises, and one certainly popped up at last
week's town council meeting. It all started out.when Victor Pope
approached- council and asked that he be given permission to erect a

Kentucky Fried Chicken uilditj on Elgin Street. Aha, we thought
to ourselves, a place to fill..our (at laces right on our own street.
Council was told that the building' would be near the five -point
intersection. Aha, say we to ourselves, real handy -- not too far from
where we live. Mr. Pope also went on to say' than the deal would
include'the buying of two houses, a red brick structure And a white
frame structure right next to 'the Sunoco service station, and'how
they .would be tearing the white frame house down. We suddenly
lost the ole appetite. That's the house we're living in!

A taxpayer revolt by farmers, •
home owners, labour unions and •
tenants. That was the warning
contained in a brief presented
Wednesday, April 28, to Prime
Minister William Davis and his
cabinet by, the «Ontario
Federation of Agriculture. -
"The government • of Ontario
must take action -- and take
action soon on reforming',the
present • system ' : Of educatioii
"taxation," ,; .-OFA President
'GordonT'iill told the government
ministers.. w ,' •
,p9,, dA*z x glair a4Y mt4avert ftat)r
given OFA authority to call a "
second tax,' withholding,
campaign ' if the • Ontario
government doesn't show, a
willingness 'to introduce a new
"an`d _fair method of financing
education..
Last year the federation led a'
tax ' withholding campaign that
., climaxed in a $15 'million
government grant to farmers.
The federation is seeking the
complete removal of education
taxes from property.
Hill continued,: "This -year
farmers will not be alone. This
year farmers will haye as their
allies; ratepayers' groups, labour
unions, tenants' organizations,
individuals."
The Huron county bog'farmer
outlined the OFA's proposal for
education tax reform. This calls
for the " substitution, -.4AI the
education tax on property by a
special education ta* on income.
The tax would amount' to 3.27
per scent on personal taxable
•
income and • 11.6,1 per ceps on
corporate taxable income in
order to raise 7$73,5..millicln, the
amount ' now raised for
education l y property taxes:
•
This, special tax would 'be a
deductible expense' for income
made !"
We were pleased. to see aur
pictures in the paper.
On, our tour, we`• learned. a
great deal about th,e modern wily

Second major concern in the
federation's • 'brief tg the
government 'was property
assessment. In recent years many
farmers, particularly those
,located near urban areas, have
had,to contend with inflated
land values. •
This has "resulted in inflated
property taxes bearing little
relationship_to the productive
ability of the farm properties.
Hilt urged that the
government of Ontario give farm
land fair tax treatment by means
of ' redu&d• assessment, ° as
recommended by the Committee
on Farm Assessment and
and s many prominent Taxation. - BI 1 S t day a easing.
