WY THE CRACKER BARREL by Politico, Ottawa Some Domestic Legislation Of major importance in the do- mestic field were such items as the National Emergency Transi- tional Powers Act, the aviation and housing legislation, and the changes in the tax laws. The Cracker Barrel has already commented on the Emergency Powers Act, and this column need only repeat Minister of Jus- tice St. Laurent's remark that there can be "occasions when it is necessary and inevitable to ask' Parliament to delegate some of its legislative powers to a gov- ernment in 'which it is willing to express and to maintain its con- fidence." And this is what the - NETP legislation does, with due democratic safeguards. During the Session, the Cov- ernment increased the capital of Trans-Canada Airlines to $25,- 000,0,00, and created a corpora- tion to operate its services under contract. A Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation was set up by the Government, its scope being "get forth by Finance Minister Ilsley in his motion as follows: "to provide discounting facilities for loan and mortgage companies to authorize payment out of the consolidated revenue fund of sums not exreeding $15,000,000 for the corporation; and to make available for the housing func- tions of the corporation moneys appropriated under the National 'Housing Art, 1944." a ~The Government also increased the appropriation for loans and guarantees to ensure the build- ing of an increasing number of houses. Tax Act Changes During the Session, the Gov- ernment decided it was expedient to amend the Income Tax Act and to provide that "for 1945 and subsequent taxation years the capital element in contrac- tual annuities be exempt from tax." The income tax on indivi- duals was reduced by 16 percent over a period of the 1945 tax year, a reduction which will ap- wly to the full 1946 tax year. The Excess Profit Act of 1940 was amended so that"individuals and partnerghips be exempt from the 16 percent tax on total pro- fits of 1946." : The Government further agreed that "the tax on excess profits of individuals and partnerships. in 1946 be reduced from 100 per cent of the excess profit to 60 percent of that portion of the ex- cess profit which is in excess of 117.647 per cent of the standard profits, and that the provision and for refund of a portion of the fax be repealed." Another tax reduction involved the Special War Revenue Act, and the Government agreed that "the consumption or sales tax apparatus and complete parts thereof which, in the opinion of the Minister of National Revenue are to be used directly in the pro- tion of goods." Other New Laws Indeed, there is little wonder Green Chamber since early last September complained of fatigue, They did au amazing amount of work. Other important but not so spectacular legislation includ- ed Secretary of State Martin's bill on Canadian citizenship, which must have made every Canadian feel at least an inch taller! Then there were the steps taken by the Government to amend the Penitentiary Act, 1939, and in speaking on this matter, Minister of Justice St. Laurent said--"During the war it was not deemed proper to do anything further about .imple- menting thé substantial recom- mendations of this commission. Active hogtilities having ceased, and it being possible to expect greater ease in finding both ma- terials . for construction. that would be necegsary in implement- ing the report, and the additional trained man-power to. staff the penitentiaries, it is now consider- ed proper to proceed further with the implementing: of. the re- commendations," It wag the decision of the Gov- ernment to include war memor- ials as projects acceptable for registration under the War Charity Act. Provision for the appropriation of $1,365,000,000 for war pur- poses, demobilization, the promo- tion of trade and commerce was the main money business of the geggion, "| pupils deserve the greatest hon- s[ing and the School Glee Club 2 | gram A Happy and Prosperous New Year : it The Christmas message brought $¢|to the Myrtle congregation on shall not apply to machinery and cess of manufacture or produc-|- the men working sc hard in the Thursday, December 20th in the Community Hall to a large au- dience.
