The subject for the week was “Ac­ cording to worth’’. The general principles of income tax were discussed. There are several factors effecting income that are pecular to farming. Prices of farm products are very unstable and since the farmer works with living a n i m a Is , whether the prices are up or down, he has to dispose of then! when they are ready for market. The weather rules the farmer, also severe and sudden losses occur in stock. Therefore specia) con­ sideration in income tax law should be given along these lines. Income tax is the fairest method of taxation because it is based on the ability to nay, but some points bear alteration. For instance, a man who pays rent for his farm has that amount exempted in income tax, where­ as a man in paying off the principal in order to own his farm does not have that amount exempted from income tax. A farmer should Lave a larger bonus from T.B. tested cattle which he lias to get rid of. The present bonus was set when cattle were cheap compared to the 'present time. Packing houses sell the meat from these cattle at the usual high price and the farmers alone bear the loss on the T.B, test. Also, there is no allowance for wage earning granted a farmer’s wife and children over sixteen, yet all of them have a full tithe job on the farm. It is thought that members of parliament should be taxed the sama as ail other salaried men labourer should exemption than Order to live, and the day have a larger he now gets in < o X Space contributed in the service of the community by John Labatt, Limited Games were played and lunch was served.
