Canada's machinery of govern- ment. Designed for a country of a few sparsely settled colonies, with primitive communications, this ma- chinery has very evidently got badly © out of alignment. RE There is no clear cut division of authority between central, provincial and municipal authorities. There is no uniform scale of taxation. There are glaring differences in debt burdens as a result, grave dangers of bank- ruptey for some of these units. The Rowell-Sirois Commission was appointed to make a natignal stock- taking and fo chart a fresh blueprint of government for Canadians. The Plan ~~ = Ta Basic aims of the Rowell-Sirois re- port were to preserve national unity by providing for the same standards of government services in all prov- inces, hence offering all citizens sim- ilar adantages of health services, edu- cation, cte.; tp provitle a system of government calculated to be least carried by the various provinces, and, all citizens. Main Recommendations: The Dominion to take over exclusive collection of personal income taxes, corporation taxes and succession duties. The Dominion to assume all pro- vineial "and provincially.guaranteed debts, Take over relief of all unemployed employables, assure responsibility for making direct 'operating cost advances to primary industries in cases of nation- al emergency such as disastrous crop failures. Provinces to surrender existing sub- sides from the Dominion. ----In their place the Dominion to pay annually a National Adjustment Grant to some of the provinces, The amount of these grants irreducible, but subject to increases upward after review; every five years. Dominion' to' pay annually to each province a_sum equal to 10% of the net income derived from mining, smelting, refining of ores and oils, produced in the province. Provinces expected to take over municipal borrowing, these to be pay- able exclusively in Canadian funds. Future provincial borrowings to be done either (a) on the credit of Can- ada after approval of the proposed Finance Committee or (b) as now on the sole credit of the provinces, Strong inducement is held out to the provinces to do all borrowing through Ottawa, so as to permit a nationally co-ordinated fiscal policy. Permanent machinery for handling of Dominion-Provincial matters is strongly recommended. This would dnticipute and aid in ameliorating sources of friction and cases of dupli- cation and over-lapping. General Suggestions The report recommends: Entirely replace the corporation tax eventually with personal income taxes. Make clear-cut demarcation to solve present confusion in regard to excise and commodity taxes, probably leav- ing certain main commodities like gasoline for provincial taxation, Progressive elimination of the sales tax. This is urged partly because it is a tax on costs, partly because, if collected from the manufacturer, each subsequent dealer calculates his profit on the price which he pays--a price which includes the tax, thus pyramid- ing costs to consumer. i -- Aid for real estate tax situation is expected from the general tax recom- mendations. The report says: "We find many instances in which this tax is twice as much in relation to pro- perty income for residents of some areas as-for those in others." It be- lieves these high taxes ave largely due to the municipalities" desperation "in securing revenues,, some 80% of which is derived from real estate. Tax-free property belonging to the crown being used for some normal commercial purposes such. as power distribution or provincial liquor stores, the Commission suggests, "should be subjected to taxation on, the same terms as that of private enterprises." The commission also feels that in other Crown properties which involve a municipality in expense there might be some justification for taxation. Public works should be timed to meet economic needs and the commis- onerous on all citizens and most et- sion recommends a permanent com- New Ford Cars For 1941 Are Larger | ¥ 4 0 i &: SS hn Sate RO broader Whdies, and headroom, afforded both d OMIER bodies and improved ridin are combined with rh new ing Jualities the new Ford cars for 1941.

Each province, however, would have the right to raise these standards. In industrial disputes the provinces should be empowered to delegate jur- isdiction to the Dominion, which should also be empowered to imple. ment recommendations of the Inter- national Labor Organization. The re- port also recommends frequent con- ferences and close co-operation be- tween Dominion and provincial depart- ments of labor, Provinces would continue, to look after unemployment, indigents and general welfare work. The latter ser- vice, however, would not include vic- tims of a national calamity, a general crop failure over a wide area, or con- ceivably a storm which might destroy fishing gear along a wide stretch of coast. widow's pensions, mothers' allow- ances, child weltare, old age pensions ana similar services would remain a provincial responsibility. In cducation no material, changes are recommended though general re- commendations are designed to bring material improvements in many pro- vInees, ' . Uniorm companies acts are strong- 1y urged but the report points out that wis can be acnieved simply by collab- oration and without any reallocation in legislauve powers. In msurance it is recommended that provincial powers be undisturbed, but utmost possible definition in the divi- sion of powers between provincial and Dominion authorities is urged to prevent continuation ot long battles over jurisdiction. Security frauds prevention is" best administered -- as at present -- by authorities familiar with local condi- tions, the report suggests, adding, howeser, that there now appears to be much useless auplication of labor and expense in having substantially the same information supplied in dif- terent forms in the various jurisdic- tions in which a company desires to sell securities. On railways the Commission recom- mends that the Dominion should have with the exception of street railways, and that no further railways shall be chartered except by the Parliament of Canada. . -~ It recommends a complete review of the entire railway freight structure, but 'does not find the present situation] as bad as was represented by some of the briefs presented. On rail and highway carrier service, the Commission' urges establishing a common regulatory - authority which would supervise, all forms of public carrier service. 'This authority would have jurisdiction' over motor carriers, merely to the extent of granting ay chises to operate, of regulating he service performed for the shipper and the rates charged.

On agricultural services, the report finds no serious overlapping though certain inefficiencies in present ad- ministration. On police services, the report sees substantial savings and increased ef- ficiency in all provinces--as six now do--using the R.C.M.P. instead of provincial squads. The report dismissed claims of the four western and' the Maritime Pro- vinces that they should receive special compensation for the alleged adverse effects of Dominlon tariff policy. This claim was dismigsed for two reasons; the impossibility of a province draw- ing up a reasonably accurate account for logses incurred because of its] membership in {-a. federation and, 1, the unre bl of the view that the Dominion is liable .in damages to pravincial governments for the efiect of Dominion policies up- on a people of the province.
