LIVESTOCK iPPING TO TORONTO UNION STOCK YARDS Dunn and Levack Every Monday All Loads Fully Insured! CONTACT 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 education taxation," OFA President Gordon Hill told the government ministers. He explained that farmers had given OFA authority to call a second tax withholding campaign if the Ontario government doesn't show a willingness to introduce a new and 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 have as their allies; ratepayers' groups, labour unions, tenants' organizations and many prominent individuals." The Huron county hog farmer outlined the OFA's proposal for Campbell McKinley RR 1ZURICH Phon• 262.5430 education tax reform. This calls for the substitution of the education tax on property by a special education tax on income. The tax would amount to 3.27 per cent on personal taxable income and 11.61 per cent on corporate taxable income in order to raise $735 million, the amount now raised for education by property taxes. This special tax would be a deductible expense for income tax purposes for farmers and businesses. Second major concern in the federation's brief to 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 baring little relationship to the productive ability of the farm properties. Hill urged •;that the government of Ontario give farm land fair tax treatment by means of reduced assessment, as recommended by the Committee on Farm Assessment and Taxation. This committee proposed a rate would be $200 an acre for sliding scale of farm values for top productive land; $15 an acre assessment purposes.
