Discussion Club A lively discussion was Tuesday evening of this the Y.W.C.A. Hostess House, when the subject was: “Why women shouldn’t be paid as much as men.” Obviously, this subject provoked many hot arguments. There was quite a good turn-out of W.D.’s to uphold the cause of femininity. The general conclusion was pretty well agreed upon that women should be paid the same as men providing: (a) that they did the job as well; (b) that the system of taxation was so adjusted that women and bachelors without responsibilities should have to bear the larger share of taxation in order to balance the •overhead costs. - Sgt.

Health Service to Cost Canadians $12 a Year A C.F. despatch from Ottawa says: Complete health services will cost Canadian adults $13 a year, plus a percentage of income from those in the income-tax paying classes, un­ der a revised health insurance plan submitted to the Commons social security committee Thursday by Pen­ sions Minister Mackenzie. Compared with the plan on which the commute worked last session, the new one provides a simpler fin-' ancial .structure, lower cost to con- tibutors and a scheme of Dominion government assistance to the prov­ inces which takes into account the unevenness of financial capacity in different provinces. The changes also eliminate contributions from employers ease the levy on married men. The draft bill studied by social security committee last t called for contributions of $26 a year for all adults, with a plan for downward adjustment for persons of low incomes, The new plan makes no change in the essential features of the original proposal; complete medical, dental, hospital and drug services for all citizens; administration 1 provinces under provincial and a Dominion enactment izing financial assistance in ing the services and also grants for public health work such as research, cancer, tuberculosis and mental illness facilities. Payable by All Adults year quired for the majority of contribu­ tors. It also reported the provision for contributions from employers would fall mainly on small employ­ ers and in the case of farmers using unpaid labor would be “doubtful of collection in large part.” one evening re- and Mrs. Nelson North group had on by the statutes author- i provid­ special The flat contribution of $12 a year would be payable by every adult resident in a participating province over the age of 16 years. Thus, it is proposed that a person with adult dependents pay the flat contribution for them. The new draft also proposes the provinces makes what arrangements they wish for abatement of this con­ tribution in cases of persons unable to pay but the cost of such abate­ ments will be borne by the province. In addition to the flat contribu­ tion, single persons with incomes of more than $660 per year would pay three per cent of the income up to a maximum of $3 0' and married per­ sons with incomes of more than $1,200, five per cent up to a maxi­ mum of $5‘0'. Thus, the maximum payment for a man and wife with no adult de­ pendents would be $7-± a year. Contributions would be collected along with the income tax. Federal financial contributions to provincial health services under last year’s draft were based on the prin­ ciple of population. In the new draft, they are based on the average per capita cost of health services in all provinces less contributions col­ lected from residents of the prov­ ince. Thus in effect the Dominion as­ sumes the cost of health services for children under 16 and the excess the average cost of services adults over the amount collected contributions.
