Yes. Prosperity Under A Debt Economy A question that becomes mare insistent is whether debt and mare debt is a.-pnaper objective of au-r gavennents, or is the pil- ing u-p of a national debt in the beet inter- ests of saiety? MIauy authonities hald the view that the investan is a preferred class and their weifare mu-st receive prinary consideratian. To "Safeguard Pnasperity ' the othodox financier demands a continua- tian of conditions that provide investars with profitable channels for investuients. To a great extent investments mean debt. Govennmenta increa.se debts and augment taxation ta pay the interest changes. The individual if he is goiu-g ta keep out of trouble must keep out of debt- is thene any eseeniai difference between the indi- vidu-al and the state in this respect?' People of ail nations have been boru into a condition of debt and they have came ta think that debt is an essential and neces- sary part of their ecanomie life. Actually debt should be definitely and exclusiveiy attached ta the spendthnift. While unfor- tunately aur entine ecanomie systen has be- came based an debt and admitting that few taxmng bodies, corporations on individu-ais, have ev-en faced the question, stili it is veny doubtfu-l whether a debt ecanomy i. at al * necessary in Canada. The solution and answer ta that question depende on aur viewpaint and understand- ing of the nature and use of naney. As long as noney is regarded as a commodity beionging ta a pnivate monapaiy, the debt economy wili continue and debts increase. When mnoney is restored ta its proper posi- tion as a mediu-m of exchange and used as a public accounting aystem ta balance con- Sumption and production, then, intead of debt, Canadians wiil enjoy a c r e d i t eeonomy and pnosperity for ail, instead of the false prasperity bu-ut on debt that en- riches the few at the expense of many.

Government investigations bath in U.S.A. under the È'ederal Trade Commission and in Canada as reponted in the Pnice Spreads Reatdo lnot subtantiate the feeling that tentian "that city, department store or chain store pnices are lower" let us suggest a few reasons why au-r citizens chou-id boost Bowmanville by buying at home: 1. Good citizenship requires loyaity ta youn community - patriotism beginis at home. 2. Merchants are the mast important group around which satiefactony commun- ity life eau- be bu-ut. 3. Merchants coutribu-te the major shane of support toalal wothwhile tawn activities. 4. Local retail business is the best and langeet source of municipal taxes. 5. Mendiants and local business pravide the most satisfactory work and wagee a- vailable ta local cifizens. 6. Bu-ying at home increases local pur- chasing power by netaining in the commun- ity a langer proportion of the consumer 's dollar. 7. - Local nerchants are the only apposi- tion ta chain and dcpartment stores, whase "Bangain Sales" centralise business, ruin commu-nity life, lower living standards and by wrecking wage levels eventually bank- ru-pt bath the producer and consumer. 8. G o v e ru-nm e n t iinvestigatons have shown that chain, department and mail- order business Draxuates the economie sui- cide of bath the citizen and hie eammunity. The disastrous effect of buying away f ran the local commu-nity is nost evident in the smailer hamiets and villages whene taday, in mnuy cases, there je no store left where ev-en a postoffice sigu- cou-id be hung. Taxation - Can We Reduce It? The tax burden naw levied on the Can- adian people antounts ta mare than ou-e quarter of au-r total national mecome. We, the taxpayers, may well nefleet an this su-b- jeet of general interet-Can taxation be reduced? As a nember of the cauncil the writer sympathizes with ail citizens who neither realize on admit that taxation eau- be ne- du-ced or at least, pe.gged at present high levels. Taxation consiose mainly. of municipal, provincial and federal levies and au-y warthwhiie reduction eau- be secured only by the use of the ballot in ail three chan- ne. A study of the whoie question of taxa- tion froni the ecanomie viewpoint tends to show that National taxation can be reduced by 25 per cent( and at the came tume muni- cipal taxes reduced ta 50 per cent of their present rate. A consistent, weil directed effort of the electorate eau- secu-re lower taxes on attain any other nef arn they de- mand. In- theory at least, so long as -Can adians retain the democratie fanm of goveru-ment, then, the taxpayers (electons> can dictate the policy of au-y govemu-ment they eleet. When the electors forego that dejuocratie right ta, govern themseives, then, they have neither an appreciation of the demacratie system non the ight ta citicize either exor- bitant taxation on the actions of thase ta whom they have deputized thase piviieges of self govemu-ment guaranteed ta every British subjeet since the igning of the Magna Carta. If we, the Canadian people desire reduc- ed taxation it can be accompliehed by aur united action at the poles demanding: 1. Genuine reform of aur monetary sys, tein until "finance is once again a pimary function of governmeiî,," nat a busin ess for profit condu-cted by private intereste. As aven 10 per cent of ail taxation is for intereet charges on public debte, a consid- erable reduction in taxation and caste of gavernnent can be effected when the pre- sent debt systen is neplaced by a eau-e use of National Credit. .2. That the natural resources of thc Do- minion and Provinces bear the total cost of ail social services. These resources should be nationaiized and developed for the bene- fit of aIl the people. At present ou-r mines, foreete and practicaliy ail natural resources are expioited by fareign capital for their own advantage and profit with the collus- ion of politicians and epeculators. This pro- gram of national ownership and develop- ment of ou-n natu-nal wealth would alane salve unemployment and reduce taxitian if pureued aggreeeively. *The present immense caste of relief are puneiy the result of no definite govemu-ment palicy ta effectively deal with the probient of unemployment.
