Farm Union Official Not Satisfied
With Government Tax Rebate
National Farmers' Union Vice
president, Walter Miller, said
last week that the NFU has no
intention of recommending that
farmers accept the 25% rebate
on municipal taxes, as offered
by the Ontario government in
reply to farmers' semands for a
complete revision of the system
used in raising money for educ-
ational purposes.
He said a meeting of Ontario
NFU representatives has been
arranged with the Hon. Darcy.
McKeough, Minister of Munic-
ipal Affairs, and Hon. William
Davis, Minister of Education, in
an attempt to develop a process
of negotiations to bring about
an end to this unjust system of
taxation.
"You don't cure a cancer by
cutting part of it away. " he
remarked, referring to the stop-
gap rebate, or as many farmers
have already dubbed it, " elect-
ion bait. "
Mr. Miller said the initial
decision to withhold taxes was
started over a year ago by NFU
members in southwestern Ontario
which, during the winter months
became province wide and was
fully endorsed by a meeting of
some 1600 members last June.
He said the recent retreat of
OFA, who came into the prog-
ram after it was launched and
abandoned it before many taxes
were due, causes farmers to
question whether it was embraced
as a concern for farmers or simpl)

at such a crucial time is nothing
but a sell out and clearly illust-

rates they are maintaining the
old tradition of trying to convince
farmers to accept government
policy, " he said.
Mr. Miller said NFU farmers
made the decision to withhold
taxes, and that decision will
prevail, at least until a Regional
Meeting scheduled for November
9 and 10,' when members will
be able to evaluate government
intentions toward correcting a
tax system they know cannot be
justified.
Students Postpone
Ottawa Trip
Students of South Huron Dist-
rict High School have postponed
a planned visit to Ottawa until
things cool down.
The students were to have
been in the capital last Friday
and for the weekend but post-
poned the trip because of anxiety
of some parents.
They were concerned about
the presence of heavily -armed
military men around public build,
ings and embassies and guarding
members of the cabinet, party
leaders and other prominent
public individuals, said Robert
McKinley (PC -Huron) who was
to have been their host at the
Parliament buildings.
