received as a pleasurable surprise there were many guesses but none were optimistic enough to predict the lowering of the income tax to the extent that has been put in to effect by the new rates there is satisfaction ton in the scale of reductions that have eased the nx burden more on the smaller incomes and have also lightened to some extent that of larger incomes there have already been many comparative table made up showing what the income tax reduction means in take home pay and the figures are indeed n practical answer to the rising cost of living added to this wage improvement the man with a family must take into account the family allowance cheque received each month when making a comparison of wage levels of other years and high living costs it is estimated that 025 500 wage earners will f n in tax reduction of 54 per cent and that 1252000 in the 1000 to 2000 income brackets will make savings of from 30 to 47 per cent in the groups above 10 000 the savings are not nearly so large true many looked for tax relief on certain items such as luxuries jewellry tobaccos candy etc perhaps the experience of wiping out the federal gasoline tax only to have it put on by the provincial government showed that this was not the best method for getting more of the taxpayers money left in his pocket the approach to the problem oi lower taxes is definitely a step in the right direction and certainly is popular with the average- man who will have more pa with which to meet rising costs without adding it on to production costs tliefte rigurch do not seem to indicate much oil

constantly painting the danger of attack by capitalist powcrt while to hasten the fall of cnpitnhsm in other countries they feel safe in engineering a series of recurring crises in a constant war of nerves there are economic crises racial crises strik s and labor eonfhet civil war as in greece food fuel and housing shortages obstructions to long term planning and investment and uncertainty about the future fven when these crises are not delinc ately engineered theytplay thurpart in ideologic il woe we need to see the game of conquest that is gonil on and to see that we can deal with it only
