SAD DAY FOR 'ONTARIO,
vatives, Liberals or C(."1:. The
money which will be collected in this
way will represent such an attractive
slice of revenue that there will al.
ways be reasons fit keep it in force.
Not only can we look forward to.
the tax in its original form, 1)111: we
can expect it to be increased in rate
and broadened in coverage. It will
be so superlatively easy to slide the
levy up to three and a half and then.
four or five per cent , to quietly
apply to more and more kinds of
iii rchandise.
Provincial sales tax,. which we
have so long avoided in Ontario is
just a gently opened door to the
treasures of the ordinary citizen's
pay cheque.
Though the provincial govern-
ment apparently intends to set up
a wide list of exemptions, ranging
-from food and children's clothing,
right through to production ma-
chinerv, there is so much detail in-
volved that the average taxpayer
will never be able to foresee all the
possible inequities. As an example,
it seems quite possible that muni-
cipal governments will be paving
sales tax on the items they purchase.
Since municipalities can only pay
their hills with money collected by
taxation, the citizen. will end up pay-
ing town taxes and township taxes,
to provide funds for the payment of
provincial taxes. This, of course, is
double taxation, a system which is
grossly unfair.
One of the reasons given for the
new tax is the heavy demands of
the hospitalization plan. There is
no denying that the hospital insur-
ance program is needed and that it
has already provided untold bene-
fits for people in the lower income
group. But it is completely unrealis-
tic to provide for its sustenance out
of taxation. like any other insur-
ance organization, premiums will
have to be adjusted to meet the ,ex-
penditures.
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
We are not sure, says The Bow-
manville Canadian Statesman, what
has done it, but we note a far more
optimistic feeling in the air thin has
been the case since the end of the
year. Possibly it's easier to think
positively when the sun is shining,
as it has been off and on for the past
week or so. Or it might well be the
touch of spring in the air.
Whatever the cause, the effect is
certainly more hopeful and less de-
pressing,. We look forward to see-
ing fewer dreary editorials in the
paper:, more news of the unfor-
tunate unemployed being gainfully
employed after long periods of non-
paying idleness.
If optimism will do the trick in
*restoring our economy to its former
buoyant condition, it might be wise
for all of us to set our faces in a
permanent grin, gear our voices to
give a cheery .grekting to everyone
and generally let the world know
that we are happy and eager to face
the days ahead.
We urge our .readers to start
those repairs and renovations now
while workmen are comparatively
easy to locate. You will feel better
after that much-needed job has been
done and those who Were doing the
work will be delighted to receive
some employment.
A NEW LOOK' FOR MEN
The men's clothing industry is
ready with the British Look — and
it thinks ithas.a. winner, reports Ray
Magladry in The Financial Post. It
follows the Ivy League and the Con-
tinental styles — fashions which
have given the industry substantial
zip over the last three or four yeays.
Features of contemporary cloth-
ing are short coats, cut-away fronts,
trim trousers and the "leggy" ap-
pearance. Clothing men describe
The British look as having man-size
shoulders, full chest, gently shaped
waist, wide flap pockets, generally
in a three-button: short coat, trim
trousers. More vests may be seen
with it than with current styles,
So we are in for a three per cent
provincial sales tax. It nuts well kt
necessary, but it is none the less re
grettable.
Certain)) Iio g-o can
tueet the multitude of demands
which ihe present semi-socialized
public presents, without reaching
deeper and ever farther into our
pocketbooks. We recognize that the
sheer force of economics makes tax
increases of sonic sort a necessity
but most thinking voters are deeply
sorry that the increase is to come in
the form of added sales tax.
Perhaps the greatest inherent
drawback to the newly-announced
tax is that it comes at the very time
when the buyer of goods and ser-
vices should be getting an added in-
centive to spend his money, rather
than another good rea;ion for keep-
ing it in his pocket. There are many
sound thinkers who feel that high
taxation is one of the prime factors
back of our present economic slump
—and they could well be right.
Once this new sales tax has been
established it will remain with us
forever — whether we elect Conser-
NOT TOO REALISTIC.
The Federation of Agriculture is
an or,oanization for which we have
always had a great deal of admir-
ation. lc was the first farm group
in this country to successfully im-
plant in farmers the spirit of co-
operation which that industry so
badly needed, It has accomplished
tremendous benefits during the paSt 25 years.
At times, however, we wonder par
the reasoning of the more radical
elements in the Federation. A reso-
lution sponsored by the B.C, mem-
bers at the annual meeting of CFA
in Ottawa recently, is an example.
The resolution called on the federal
authorities to take action under the
existing anti-combines legislation to
prosecute the feed companies which
are engaged in vertical integration
of the poultry industry. Failing such
action, the resolution called for new
laws which would make Prosecution
possible.
The resentment of organized ag-
riculture for the big industry which
attempts to step downward in the
sequence of supply, and breed the
products which it will later process
is understandable. But surely there
is no vast difference when farm or-
ganizations decide to extend them-
selves up this same vertical plane and
so enter the banking field through
credit unions, the manufacturing in-
dustry through co-operative cream-
eries- and the packing industry
through the new enterprise for
which money is even now being ac-
cepted.
Canada is, after all, still supposed
to be a free country — and one of
the basic freedoms is evert man's
right to earn his living by whatever
legal means he chooses. 'We are all
in favor of the farmer-controlled in-
dustries. United Dairy and Poultry
Co-operatives is one of our finest
examples, as are many of the other
allied businesses. And what's more.
we would be very alarmed if the big
creamery operators and the meat
packing Lusinesses ever tried to have
the co-operatives legislated out of
competition.
If the CFA resolution became
law it would set a most dangerous
• precedent . . . one which would
threaten every business firm in this
country — not only the ones which
are owned by private stockholders,
but those which are owned by
farmer-stockholders as well.
There is an old saying that mast
have had its origin on the farm —
"What's good for the goose is good
for the gander."

The fifteenth chapter of the Gos-
pel of Luke contains the very
essence of truth regardine
°
Christ's
coming to earth. This beautiful chapter should be read in its entire-
ty. It contains the greatest short
story ever written,. that of the
Prodigal Son. Often it happened
that the enemies of Jesus testified
to the truth of His scission, as In
this case, when they said sarcasti-
cally that He received sinners and
ate with them. Glorione troth! He
still receives. them.
It was the criticism of the
Pharisees that brought these lovely
parables from the Lord, They did
not,like to see Him fraternizing
with sinners, So blind were they to
their own spiritual state, they could
not see that in God's sight, they
needed a Saviour as much as those

Dear Sir:
On hehalf of our Tuberculosis
Association, I wish to thank you
and your capable staff for all their
support over the past year. We es-
pecially appreciate your assistance
during the mass survey and the
Christmas Seal campaign.
It is of great interest to your
readers to know that the contribu-
tions, to the Christmas Seal sale
amounted to 812,403.79 which is
8240,00 over last year. While money
is necessary, the constant search
for unknown cases is what will de-
termine our success. Only the
Maximum use of case-finding fa-
cilities -will help us to reach the
goal of a tuberculosis-free county.
This is 'why you hear us talk about
tuberculin testing and chest x-rays.
the only way to find these un-
known cases. '
Your readers will-he interested
• to know • that the -International
Aittihat 'TtiberouloSIS:' will
hold its bi-anniial 'Meeting in TO t-
drIttc` Septertiber'*10-14; -1061'.'Few
countries have tuberculosis under
control as well as we have in Can-
ada, a fact for which we are very
thankful. Our county people are
invited to attend this meeting
where 66 countries will be repre-
sented.
Again, we thank you sincerely
for such fine public service in help-
ing to bring the facts about the
tuberculosis situation Vefore the
public. We can only do what the
public helps us to do by their con-
tributions to the Christmas Seal
campaign.
Gratefully yours,
