boards havc the final say it cuts down on handling time and costs Opposition to the trend of recent years toward more centralization of powers over area and local affairs is understandable The argument that this was done as protection to ratepayers does not seem to be standing up in light of the tax situation In regional government areas property tax rises have been generally much sharper than under county ad ministrations Taking Simcoe County as an example of the latter the councillors have held their share of taxes close to the line during the past two years In this infla tionary era this in itself is an unusual record Despite some large capital projects the county also has avoided getting into debenture debt at todays high carrying charges Although advocates of regional government had argued it would save taxes by increasing efficiency and eliminating duplication it simply has not worked out that way Despite considerably more assistance in government grants and subsidies which taxpayers have to pay pro perty taxes in regional areas have soared much more than in Simcoe County While no doubt improvements might be made by up dating some of its procedures overall the Simcoe County administration has record which well justifies its op position to any changes toward regional government The plight of ratepayers should be the prime concern Simcoe yesteryear Tory Plliflll IIQ Joe lwrv Joe Clark IUE IIl clusions to be taken from the election One is that the Conservatives couldnt com municate the New Democratic Party had nothing to communicate and the Liberals were able to get through The second is that good hardworking member is tough to beat particularly when there is no strong issue FAILURE Th governments failure and no matter how pedantic yoi want to be when it didnt get its majority it failed can be placed squarely on inability to commtmicatc It did have an issuea basic and important onein the management of the economy It had been preaching this year in ad vance of the election But when it became showdown time it couldnt get it across to the public Premier William Davis particularly talked the economy continually but he didnt talk in terms that awakened the voters Thus thatOh the Conservatives physically put on proLgious and efficient campaign effort this was largely wasted on an elec torate that didnt have any real basis for deci sion beyond the merits of various riding can didates The NDP had nothing to sell The character of the party at least in Ontario simply does not equip it to cope with the problems of today which are dominantly economic This was evident during the campaign when it didnt come up with one solid and practical proposal for meeting our economic problems While the Liberals with Stuart Smith leading the way were talking in terms the public could grasp and that it wanted to hear More about this later LIBERALS DEDICATED The result was that the election perhaps more so than ever before was ridingby riding night In such fight it is an old principle that if member has done his work and services his riding he is very tough to beat And this again was proven to certainly be true So much so that only nine sitting members were defeated Angus in Fort William Ferrier in Cochrane South Bain in Timiscaming Sandeman in Peterborough Moffatt in Durham East Godfrey in Durham West Smith in Hamilton Mountain and Fer ris in London South and Shore in London North And in all of these except the London seats key factor was that the Liberals had very if It weak candidates and ran practically

distribution of magazine regardless of what it might say about him As he quickly found out its nowin by the Regina LeaderPost and the Saskatoon Star Phoenix But by threatening legal ac tion he managed to elvate fairly routine mggazine story into national issuc fending paragraphs of the story were even quoted in Parliament And thats no way to keep them out of circulation Actually am surprised that Lang reacted the way he did to the article True it isnt the type of story politicians dream about but didnt find it particularly offensive And con sidering what the minister has been through in the last yearwe all remember tie jetstars and the flying nanny1 would have thought he would shrug at this latest offering But as he explained he has had enough of cising my legal rights and drew that to the attention of the people who were associated with the particular publication And while the story on the unhappy lan ding of Otto Lang was widely circulated in other provinces the two Saskatchewan newspapers decided against carrying it stirs controversy in House But if the minister thought this would prevent his constituents from hearing about the story he was way off track Not only was his judgment questionable but his timing was unlucky since he took the action while fellow Liberal MP Srge Joyal was accusing the government of interfering with press freedom And while the magazine in question was enjoying brisk underground trade in situation turning the other cheek Saskatchewan the whole issue exploded in COHOdOS Lang was successful in preventing full In this particular case have

contributing to the slowdown in activity in construction Environmcntal concerns and scarcity of capital blocking some large projects Anticipated shortages of energy and the energyconservation program Political uncertainties related to Quebec Low levels of profit making it difficult to raise funds for expansion Uncertainties regarding the postcontrol period wConcern that many Canadian goods are
