Me Inexpensive Way to Shop Property rights not threatened: Timbrell $Y sHA'ItON.DILTz Ontario's agriculture min- ister assured members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture last week that the proposed farm land tax rebate program is safe and that farmers do not have to fear the government is trying to usurp. their property rights. A fundamental part of the proposed tax changes in the pr gram is that the individual farmer will still pay his or her taxes to the municipality," stated Mr. Timbrell, who was speaking to the North West Huron Federation of Agriculture annual meeting at the Luck - now District Community Centre, April 20. The tax rebate proposal cabs for farmers to pay taxes .on their houses and a 'deem- ed' lot. The lot, because it cannot be severed, will be assessed at 50 per cent of a similar lot. Farmers will be eligible to receive a rebate of 100 per cent of the taxes on their farm property, land and farm buildings. A previous proposal ex- empting farmers from paying taxes was dropped. The municipalities feared an er- asion of their tax base and farmers feared a loss of property rights because they were not paying taxes. Mr. Timbrell said present fears that the new proposal will result in a loss of property rights some time in the future, are based on a misunderstanding of the in- formation. The people of this province are not likely to elect a government that will ignore property rights, observed Mr. Timbrell who pointed out that if this argument is followed to its logical con- dusion, accepting any form 01 government assistance for that land, says a system for tile drainage debenture. a 25 per cent rebate or a 50 per cent rebate or whatever, would be sufficient grounds to give government the auth. orlty to take away property rights. Mr. Timbt$11 added that a government with that kind of philosophy is not likely to be put in power in this province. Premier William Davis an- nounced in the legislature the following day that Ontar- io will support the inclusion of property rights In the diarter of rights. If property rights are entrenched in the constitution, said Mr: Tim- brell, nothing could abridge an Individual's property rights by reason of applying Sot or accepting government assistance. While Mr. Timbrell was asked to speak to the meet- ing to explain the farm tax rebate program, most quest- ions asked during the quest- ion period did not refer to the tax proposal. Instead farmers took the opportunity to vent some of their frustration with high interest rates, low com- modity prices and foreign absentee ownership. sto 1 PX -CONSULTING SERy1c 154 Isabelle St., SEAFORTH, ONTARIO , 527-0557 -REASONABLE RATES- -PERSONAL SERVICE- -NO ADVANCE PAYMENTS - Branch of: Niagara Farm and Business Consultants [1964) Hamilton, Ontario Harry DenHaan Tax Consultant [Registered] Bring your Tractor and Gardening Equipment to us for service Make sure right now that you'll have a trouble-free summer.
