HON. T. A. CRERAR ON THE
TARIV
Outlining the policy of the "Farm-
ers' National Party" at the big meet-
ing held at Brandon, Manitoba, on
November 18th, the Hon. T. A.
Crerar, in dealing with the Tariff
question, said:
"The question that receives more
attention from organized farmers than
any other is the question of the tariff,
and What should be the .fiscal policy
of the country in the future. To my
mind there is no question of greater
importance to a country than that of
its fiscal policy. What is the char-
acter of Canada? The country has
wonderful resources, but I assert with
all the force of which' f am capable,
that a protective tariff is a hindrance
to the economic development of our
resources. What does a new country
require for its development? , It re- .
quires agricultural implements. And
is it a wiset is it a sane policy, to
add to the expense of the things that
are necessary by imposing. customs
tariffs upon them? The farmers in

and the Farmers' Netional party it
will be necessary for both these two
groups to get closer togetherso that
in an election contest the danger of
candidates seeking election on prac-
tically the same platform may be
Iell/ablated and' the voting strength
of both conserved. No time should
be lost in bringing about :such, an
aligninent between these two groups.

Fanny Montgomery, widow of Archi-
bald McMichael, passed away at the

Paulin, with whom she made her home,
She was in her 83rd year, and death
was, the result of a general break-up
of the system due to extreme • age.
Mrs. McMichael was a native of Ire-
land, coming to this country -when
quite young, and was one of the
pioneers of Howick Township. The

the
greatest curse and the greatest draw-
back to the development of Canada
that it has had. •
"1 would go farther and say," de-
clared Mr: Crerar, "that if our fiscal
Volley had been different our popula-
tion would have been greater and our
national wealth infinitely greater."
Having endeavored to show how
the protective tariff had, led to cor-
ruption in the government and the
election system, Mr. Crerar said the
• question of tariffs was not a question
that concerned the farmers alone, but
was one thatconcerned_ the whole
community. One of the best methods
of reducing the high cost of living in
this icomitry, was to cet out the tariffs
. on the necessaries of life, and. that
wai what the Fanners' National party
proposed to do.
"The question had been asked," Mr.,
Crerar continued, "if you cut out the
tariff how are you going to get your
revenue?" I have been amused by an
advertisement asking that question
which has been issued. by the Cana-
dian Manufacturers': Association,'
There are other ways- of getting rev-
enue. I believe in the principle of
direct taxation and I venture to say
that if Canada had had this form of
taxation during the last quarter of
a century there would not have been
such tremendous waste of public
• funds in this country, for direct tax-
ation has the effect of making 'people
take a more intelligent interest in the
in.atters on which their money Is to
be spent.
"Then I believe in the income tax.'
The finance minister stated that there
• would be some $20,000,000 from this
source this year. However, NetteZea-
land, with a population of one million
has raised $20,000,000 by income tax
in 1917. If New Zealand had. done
that and Canada had a simikit scale
in operation, then the Dominion could
'be raising $150,000,000. I would
change this. I would •take the
customs tariff off the necessaries of
life,. at any rate, and -would very
greatly increase the income tax. That
is one of the proposals of the Cana-
dian. Council of Agriculture."
Then, there was the Inheritance tax,
said Mr. Crerar. Why should we not
raise money from such a tax? He
had been. reading a statement about
the will of an eminent man who had
died leaving millions of dollars. Out-
side ef a few benefactions., the great
bulk of the wealth was left to a few
individuals. Why should not the
State. at a time like this, when we
are faeing difficulties. financial and
otherwise, obtain a Substantial por-
tion of such wealth. There was no-
thing-- unjust in it. The Income tax-
• and the Inheritance tax scale were
-very. much lower than in Great Bri-
tain and the Farmers' National party
stood for increasihg them consider-
ably. Another important plank in the
platform provided for the p(ublication
of the source from which campaign
funds come before and after the elec-
tion. That to his mind was a really
radical reform.
Having- shown that proportional
representation was advocated by the
Farmers' National party, Mr. Crerar
declared•that the place where the
farmers needed to *direct their efforts
was the federal field and he thought
they would be well advised to confine
themselves to federal policies, at any
rate until protection had been dealt
with and other vital national reforms
effected, •
