Last year the government collected in incarne tax alone, twice as much as anv Canadian governmnent ever spent in any te year prior to the last war. On ts top of that, in customs, excise ke and sales taxes, it collected last - year as much as It ever spent, *t from ail sources put together, in ie any year prior to the last war. 1- . Two Billions le In the fiscal year just closed the )f Mackenzie King government has g laid its hands on approximately d three thousand million dollars of ýe your bard earned money - six -times as much as it spent in any o pre-war year. The tax burden ýe exceeded two billion dollars. This -means that if yours is an average size family, You are being ask- ed to submit to a levy, direct or *indirect, of about $800 each year. Don't be fooled, warned the Progressive Conservative leader: The income tax is out In the open; you may tbink that is the payoff. But look behind the' scenes and take, for example, one simple pro-ý duct-bread. We al eat bread and many Canadians produce wheat from which bread is manu- factured. What are the taxes on this simple, prime necessity? Bread Taxes First the farmer pays,. directly or indirectly, 8 different taxes on the wheat he grows. The rail- ràad that carnies, coming and go- ing, pays 6 more taxes on it, the grain elevator another 6, the grain boat another 7 and the miii- er pays 9. There are no less than 36 tax levies, ail adding ta the cost of that loaf of bread. Bak- ers estimate that one-third of bread prices is made up af taxes; that is why bread prices have doubled in the last 15 years. Multiple Levies Mn. Bracken went on ta say that the govennment yau are clos- est ta is your Municipality. It taxes yo ufor schools, noads, ed- ucation, parks,. playgrounds, bas-t pitals ..in varying degnees. Next the property owner. is taxed ta belp the provincial government and above al ibis the Dominionc govennment steps in ta take off1 the cream.

WAI We in Canada have now come through the hardest part of the post-war adjustment period. By buying in moderation only what we really needed, by resisfing the natural desire' to rush madly after long-absent luxuriesi we have been able to keep prices at reasonable levels. We have been able-so far-to escape the strife and the uoelei;snees of inflatiOn' Knowing where we want to go, we have also known how to get there. Credit for this lies with the foresighted planning of our Government-the wisdom of the people. and the Canadian habit of moderation in ail thingsi which as The House of Seagram hu long mdntainedf is unquestionably one of this cSutrys finest asset& 4 L-0 a el ee wom.
