kw 9v II ultQK4 Elli ifittrrtr Examinrr Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited 16 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Robb PublisherdGeneral Manager mm Walls Editor Emeritus IO Henshaw Managing Editor 4The Barrie Examiner Tuesday Sept 14 I976 All levels haVe r01e in fighting inflation Taxpayers who have been ap prehenswe about new tax reform proposals have been told that there are many who seem to fear changes But report from Queens Park in which Ontario treasurer Darcy McKeough was quoted as saying municipalities will receive $330 million more in provincial grants next year would seem to indicate that the record tax spending trend is gomg to be continued The 107 per cent increase in pro vincial help will be welcomed by municipalities But taxpayers are not likely to forget that they will be paying just the same It was said the increase in assistance to municipalities will mean other provincial spending will be held down to 71 per cent rise to meet next years target But taxpayers are concerned over the substantial deficit financing for the present fiscal year despite the recordhigh burdens It was calculated that the budgetary deficit would exceed $1 billion which can only mean adding to the public debt and even more carrying charges for taxpayers in the future No wonder many question how long such trend can be continued without serious economic repercus sions The federal government is no ex ample since its budgetary deficit has been estimated at some $5 billion for its current year Some 12 per cent of this budget is said to be required for interest payments alone For 197677 these payments were estimated to reach $46 billion Forced with this situation the strong opposition in some quarters to price and wage controls is dif ficult for many to understand Granted much of the criticism over the details on how it has been car ried out has been justified but without controls the cost of living would be soaring even higher for many least able to afford it Some may feel it is trifle late but growing recognition of the need for all levels of government to adopt realistic approach in handling the conoomy would be move in the right direction Ottawa should provide the leader ship in making wage and price con trols effective Some may feel these should alSO include an excess profits tax with exem tions allowed for money spent on usiness industrial or other expansion creating much needed jobs to cope with unemploy ment The sharp increase in government bureaucracy has been deplored but still has been allowed to continue As has been pointed out by their spokesmen governments can not carry out restraint on the needed realistic basis without general co operation and understanding of the seriousness of the situation To be effective such cooperation has to be sincere attempt and not just meaningless political bombast When the cost of government ser vices exceeds the ability or will ingness of ordinary people to pay it is surely time for retrenchment Let the government do it we have let it go too far The government should do something about it is the common response to just about anyting we see going wrong in our society We have said it for so long and so often that today the government is doing something about just about everything and about all that is left for us to complain about the govern ment and what it is costing us The only thing that has increased at greater rate than taxes in Canada is our demand upon govern ment And were finding gradually that it costs us lot more for the government to do things for us than it does to do them for ourselves We expect the government at every level to do everything from forcing us to wear sealt belts in our cars to paying for the local charity We take what is practical and helpful means of supporting people in need through taxes and expect government to make it into something that is supposed to substitute for our own productivity as if we can all forget work and live off money that government ma gically produces We take healthy jobproducing free enterprise system and clutter it up with government regulation so that it too becomes dependant and the jobs must be produced instead by government We sense that Canadians are star ting to realize that we have ex pected too much of the government and that we have no one to blame but ourselves for the phenomenal escalation in the ublic bur eaucracy which is is nations greatest burden We feel that Cana dians are beginning to understand finally that we can do things more efficiently ourselves than govern ments can We can have more fun and satisfaction doing them and we can keep more of our perSOnal freedom into the bargain There are signs too that our leaders are beginning to realize that they have gone too far In this time of spending cuts many are not afraid to tell people that govern ment cannot afford to do certain things that the people will have to do them for themselves It begins with charities Com munity and Social Services Minister James Taylor said recently The more government gets involved the more the private sector moves out Were making charity Crown cor oration and making the Good amaritan public employee And along the same lines Liberal leader Stuart Smith says Its in credible that this province whose people have long tradition of help ing one another particularly in rural areas should now have be come so dependent upon govern ment initiative to get things done If the Government grant is not for thcoming so many groups seem to feel that there is no way they can proceed Thats in case of charity and local improvements It applies as well to regulations At the first sign that we as people cannot regulate ourselves properly we demand that government regulate us There are certain things that only government can do But we have gone far beyond those things We should demand government action only as last resort when all else fails Orillia Packet and Times Lighthouse keeper there are
