(CP)-- A coroner's jury Tuesday night shouldered the Ontario high- jways department with 75 per| Unwed Mothers, Divorcees Get Tender Treatment OTTAWA (CP)--The Carter royal commission on_ taxation shows more tenderness than current astringent tax law for unwed mother, "common- law wife," and gay divorcee. But in other respects, the commission's revolutionary pro- posals for taxing families rather than breadwinners will mean a closer inspection of family affairs by the tax col- lector than now is the case. The six-member commission headed by Kenneth Carter, Tor- onto tax expert, recommended a twin scale of income tax rates. There would be, first, a slid- ing scale of rates on taxable in- come for the "unattached indi- vidual' starting at 12 per cent in the $1,000 to $1,500 bracket and running up to 50 per cent on income in excess of $100,000. Then there would be a new, low, family-rate scale, starting at 13 per cent of taxable in- comes between $2,100 and $3,- 000, and running up to the same 50 per cent on income in excess of $100,000. But the family rate would climb less sharply than| the individual rate on incomes} up to $40,000 a year. Included in some of the more | remain in school, special provisions recommended lif they are infirm. by the commission are these: --An unmarried mother who! retains custody of her child| would qualify for the pendent children would fern part of the unit up to the age| lof 21, or up to age 25 if they| Actual sup- |port would be the test of de- pendency. But a family unit would also | lower start when an unmarried| family-rate plan for the full woman has a child, = age years in which the child is born and as long as she maintains it. --A man and woman living together as common - law spouses would also qualify for the lower rate after a year's co- habitation, whether or not they have. children. --A divorced or separated couple, with each sharing re- sponsibility for the upbringing of children, would each be ac- corded the lower family-rate.

Death of one spouse would not break the family unit, and inheritance of his estate by the mother and dependent children would not be taxed. It would be consid- ered an intra - family transac-| tion.

A Canadian Press staff writer followed ~ up The Times story: By KEN CLARK OTTAWA (CP)--lIt's. the low- key approach for Michael Starr in his slow-starting bid for the Conservative leadership to be tion in Toronto. "'There's plenty of time to get into high key," the former labor minister told a reporter in his office Tuesday. "That will be done in the last two months before the convention." Mr. Starr, Conservative floor leader in the Commons, eased into the race where others dra- matically 'jumped. He finally committed himself last week- end in Oshawa, core city of Ontario riding which he has represented in the Commons since 1952 His declaration ended a weeks-old fence-sitting stance during which he said he would "IT don't believe he will run," Mr. Starr said. 'I can only go on that assumption." Mr. Starr said he did not declare earlier, partly because of Mr. Diefen- baker's equivocal position and partly because there was plenty of time before the convention. Although an uncompromising Diefenbaker loyalist, Mr. Starr ('Call me Mike') said he is not a Diefenbaker candidate. Is he in the Diefenbaker mould? 'Every person has a different temperament. and a. different method of approach even though goals may be the same,' Mr, Starr replied. dominated the party for a' de- cade, Mr. Starr indicated he is of a different breed: Strictly a team-work -man, both in the Commons and in the party In line with this, he shied away from questions of policy which the party will als dis- cuss at the convention. "Tt would be ridiculous of me to have a platform of my own and have a different one than the party," he said. He would carry out the party's wishes. His chances of winning are "very good,' he said, Neither of his two pritcipal opponents, George Hees or Davis Fulton, the farmer, laborer, small bus- inessman." Mr. Starr says he's slowly on his campaign stepped up his public appear- ances in the last two weeks. He has just completed an Ontario swing. Asked how he would appeal to youth, a big voting bloc at the convention, the 56-year-old MP said: "I've never had any problems appealing to youth. I think young, I'm interested in today, tomorrow and the future. What has. gone on in the past history." moving but has 1S .. In THE TIMES Today...
