The Wingham Advance-Times, 1949-04-13, Page 2that the long and bitter controversy
between The Toronto Star and the
Conservative Government of Ontario
may give this matter the appearance
of deliberate malice against a few fam-
ilies of a different political faith.
But the fundamental !principles of
the bill are sound. The previous en-
ormous freedom of the foundation
was quite inconsistent with present
day public policy,

aserine succession dutiis and in-
Authorized as Seoond, Class Mail set-tee taxes have made the iesaudaticii
Poet Office Department inereaahvoly common in recent years.
Ford Motor fortune went into
a isesndation, but the Ford family cons
!times control. Now there are an est-
intated 10,000 similar foundations in
the United ,States and Republican Son-
ettor Tobey i s pushing a bill ie Con-
;;rev to flyrce all such trusts to pay
out 85 per cent of their annual gross
income to benciiciariee in order to get
tax exemption.
Nobody knows how many Canad-
ian foundations have been established
but some of them are the St. Lawrence
(Barbara Ann Scott), the Vernon
Canty (hotels), the Massey, the Mas-
on (Sudbury Star) and the Atkinson
(Toronto Star),
As the law presently standa. the
foundation pays no taxes. There is no
regulation as to how much or how
little of the assets or revenue is paid
out to the designated charities nor in
salaries, expenses, etc., to the trustees.
As-an example of what can be done
under the foundation setup, Senater
Tobey rnalses the following charges
against Royal Little, president of a
$60 million U.S. textile empire called
Tertron.
! Little, he says, has set up six foun-
'dations and part of their tax free in.
!come which had totalled nearly $10
millions, had been used to finance Tex-
tron expansion, One of them. it is
!charged, had, $4,500,000 in income but
paid out only $85,000 to its !benefic-
iary a community chest. But it had 1 paid out $140,000 to its trustees and
banker.
Another of Little's foundations al-
legedly bought the stock of a company
for $6,825,000, then paid itself $4,500,-
000 in dividends. I Quebec province too, has just taken
e ;notice of the foundation set-up. In re-
cent weeks the Quebec Succession
'"iduties was amended to give the gov-
r m , ,thermore, the foundation' must now ) Cha give the Government an annual report.
The Quebec amendment, does not, , Beauty ilr, wever, set up any standards as to
;tow much, forinstance, must be paid
out to charitable purposes each year.
Salon I setup which the public interest could
One consequence of the foundation
scarcely avoid recognizing at some
i time is this; under the tax free faun-
!dation setup, a company is in a pre-
ferred competitive position vis-a-vis
other companies. I The objection to the Ontario Bill
,,that this is retroactive legislation in
!its application to the Atkinson and
'Mason estates will win a good many
e supporters. There is a wide—spread
adherence to the belief that a man
should be able to dispose of his estate
s, has he wishes and have complete con-
lfidence, that, after his death those
s wishes will be carried out.
Legal history does not altogether
support that view. For centuries the
State has been concerning itself in this,
matter.
! In the Nineteenth Century, Britain
found its educational system cluttered
with scores of bequests devoted to
„causes and. institutions once dear to
!the heart of the testator.-But with the
!passage .' of time, many of these no
longer made sense. 'The British Gov-.
.r einment took over a great many of
,,these funds and applied them to edu-
cational purposes in quite a different
manner.
A British Budget speech by Sir
!William Harcourt in 1894 declared:
"The State has the first title upon the
'estate and those who take afterwards
have a subsequent and subordinate
title. Nature gives man no power over
his earthly goods beyond the term of
hiS life. What power he possesses to
prolong his will after his death—the
I right of a dead hand to dispose of
property—is a pure creation of the
Iw
la and° the State has the right to
perscribe the conditions and limita-
1 tion under which that power shall be
exercised."
One way and another the State is
, constantly taking steps which are in
effect retroactive. A change in tie
tariff may put a firm out of business.
The testators of breweries and dis-
tillerics :lid not count on a period of
prohibition.
i Notwithstanding there are many
who will regard the retroactive nature
!of the Ontario measure as iniquitous.
'It is almost certain, for instance, that
!the Atkinson will would have been
!different had he had any expectation
I
that the vast properities he built up
would be swept away from his child-
ren.
In this instance it is unfortunate

CHARITY FOUNDATIONS
HAVE WINGS CLIPPED
(An Editorial In the Financial
Post, Toronto)
It hardly CoMCS as a surprise that
govertuneut should be taking action
for the regulation of charitable &m-
dations.
Whether the method of the Ontario
Government is the desirable way to
about this is a question on which
there will be no such unanimity.
Ontario's Charitable Gifts Bill is de-
signed to prevent any charitable trust
or foundation owning more than 10
prr cent of the capital stock of any
company. In the words of the Bill's
sponsor, Provincial Treasurer Frost,
the purpose is "to prevent the undesir-
able concentration of the control of
business in perpetuity in charitable
