FARMERS WANT"
„says John Bracken, the Farmer
"When I speak of agriculture, I
mean farmers and farmers' wives and
children and all those . . who are
dependent upon the prosperity of farm-
ing for their material welfare."
....1•IiimMINIIM.....••••••••••.•••••••••=a0IMOM/m,
For more than twenty years, as the undefeated, progressive leader of a
Farmers' Party, John Bracken has fought unendingly for the economic rights
of farmers.
To-day, this great farmer's lifelong struggle to raise-the living standards
of farm life in Canada, has become national in scope Dominion-wide in the
devoted intensity of John Bracken's life purpose. To-day, this far-visioned
farmer-leader of the Progressive Conservative Party — calls upon all Canadian
farmers to enlist under his progressive banner in order to achieve, here and
now, .a far better life. for the farmers of every community, in every Province of
this great Dominion.
ONLY THE BEGINNING — of John
Bracken's nation-wide Campaign for
Farmers, is the assurance for every
farmer of a fair, proportionate share
of the nation's income — through
guaranteed prices for farm products.
WE GO ON FROM THERE — Our
Policies embrace every aspect of
Canadian farm life — the life of the
farmer, his wife — his children. They
are typical of our farmer-leader's
human, progressive approach to farm
problems. To these measures, John
Bracken is pledged:—
. HEALTH —.In many rural areas,
due to economic conditions, medical
and hospital services are totally in-
adequate.
WE SHALL —provide the financial
assistance required to place and keep
health services in rural areas on a
par with those in urban areas and
raise the standard of both. -
• EDUCATION — In Canada, educa-
tion depends largely on land taxation.
Consequently, in many rural areas,
revenue 'is insufficient for educational
needs and many children are unjustly
deprived of adequate educational
facilities.
WE SHALL — see that the Federal
Government, without interfering with
Provincial jurisdiction, provides fin-
ancial assistance in order that
Provinces may make possible a high
standard of education in every section
of Canada. In this way, as well, the
burden of land taxation will be
lightened.
• FARM MACHINERY — In order
to preserve the family farm in Can-
ada, 'a unit now threatened by the
competition of larger units in this
and other countries . . .
WE SHALL — reduce the overhead
cost of machinery required on farms
by plans for co-operative ownership
and, where advisable, by state or
municipal ownership of power equip-
ment. The cost to farmers of securing
the advantages of mechanization will
thus be greatly reduced.
• FARM WORKERS—In off-seasons
farm workers frequently lack em-
ployment.
WE SHALL plan supplementary
employment for farm workers in off-
seasons by the development of addi-
tional enterprises. We shall encour-
age the decentralization of industry
and the location in rural areas of
suitable small-scale industrial enter-
prises.
• RURAL ELECTRIFICATION —
In order to bring more modern con-
veniences, at the lowest possible cost,
to women in rural homes, and to
farmers —
WE SHALL — start an immediate
program that will ultimately carry
the benefits of electricity to every
last farm home.
These are but a few of our far-
reaching Progressive Conservative
Farm Policies founded on a new, pro-
gressive conception of the rights of
Canadian farmers in every commun-
ity of —every Province. To-day a
farmer fights for farmers' rights.
Help John Bracken to raise the living
standards of the forgotten man —
the Canadian farmer.

Furthermore, Family Allowances are NOT taxable. You do
not add these monthly payments to your total income when
computing your income tax.
In the column at left is an explanation of the relationship
between Family Allowances and Income Tax deductions for
children. From the table given you can determine quickly the

When the Family Allowances Act was passed,
Parliament approved the principle that there
should be no duplication of benefits by way of
Family • Allowances and Income Tax credits for
the same child.
'Family Allowances cheques will be paid in full
every month. But for the last six months of
1945 an adjustment will be made to avoid
duplication of benefits. The table below shows
the effect of this adjustment and will enable tax-
