WHEN TAXATION HURTS
Discussing taxation at a conference
of municipal officers in Kingston and
claiming that "the litnit of taxation
has been reached in relation to our
present national income," Hon Eric
Cross, Ontario's Minister of Munici-
pal Affairs, is quoted:
"Curiously enough, the revolt of
citizens against the load of taxation
they' are being forced to assume came
in the municipal field, then Provin-
cially, and soon, I venture to predict,
it will exert its full force in the
Federal field as well."
Nothing curious about it. Every-
body eonialains most loudly, about
what hurts most, even though it may
be only a small thing compared with
a disease which afflicts him but does
hot make its presence felt by intense
pain. So it is with taxation.

He is notified that on a certain day
he will be expected to pay to the
municipality a certain sum. There it
is in black and white; he knows that
he must raise so many dollars by a
certain time. It is just so many dol-
lars deducted from his income.
But he goes into a shop and buys,
let us say, a package of cigarettes.
He pays 25 cents and thinks nothing
more of it. Because he does not
