Stevens advocates tax cuts By SINCLAIR STEVENS MP YorkSimeoe As you fnalize your list of gifts from Santa here are few suggestions you might have the Old Fellow pass on to Ottawa First isnt it time you got tax break Out of government savings of over billion dollars which can easily be made federal authorities could extend 10 per cent tax credit for those earning $8000 or less That would be about $100 bill in the Christmas stockings of those in this group similar credit scaled down appropriately for those earning between $8000 and $16000 is also long over due Such tax cuts would increase real wages for employees and would provide stimulant to the economy which in turn would result in more jobs for Canadians Without such reduction in taxes the Royal Banks chief economist predicted last week real growth Will drop below anticipated levels UP26PERCENT In the current year personal income taxes in the aggregate have increased 26 per cent With such bonanza surely even Donald Macdonald our Finance Minister would oblige if Santa asked for the reduc tion Second for businessmen who are being swamped with in creasmg requirements for government information re quest should be made to reverse the trend and iii the case of small businessmen pay them for filing federal govern DISTRICT NE WS The Barrie Examiner Wednesday December lino Leaders named for 4H project at Bond Head BOND HEAD Mrs

Merry hristinas Christmas carols were played while the ladies enjoyed an ex change of gifts lovely lunch was served by Vera Kneeshaw Ruth Newton and Ruth Stodr dart ment forms If Ottawa had to pay for the data it would drive home to federal authorities the extent they are leaning on businessmen to supply facts and figures which are often never used Perhaps if they had to pay to get their forms com pleted the government might decide they did not need the in formation after all Third you might request that the mails come on time that rates cease to increase as fast and that we have year without strikes or the threat of strike in the Post Office Fourth for those of you who have registered retirement savr ings plans why not ask that they be convertible into per sonal trust at retirement without the necessity of having to purchase an annuity which is often less advantageous CONTROLS PIOSED Fifth you might ask for speedy end to the governments wage and price control pro gram which as had marginal effect on the cost of living yet it costs over $22 million year to administer and is proving to be counter productive as we try to get the economy rolling again Sixth perhaps Otto Lang our Transport Minister could be asked by the Prime Minister to travel Air Canada even first class if he likes rather than use those jets at $7000 flight If Santa can get by with few reindeer and sleigh surely Otto can tough it out on Air Canada Seventh with net farm in come having dropped in 1976 and with further decline predicted for 1977 it is time Eugene thlaii the Minister of Agriculture
