presentday inflation and economic problems should leave many confused There are those who argue the present steps taken to solve inflation are inadequate Others object to any price or wage controls at all and despite accelerating pace of inflation and unemployment want them scrapped at once The trend of the past decade or so toward recordhigh government tax spending and growing bureaucracy has been held largely to blame for todays high costs and in flation by some Then there are others who feel that selfish demands of the few at the expense of the many are mainly responsible The growing number of groups which have looked for government handouts to solve their problems without ap parent passing thought to just who has to shell out the tax money to meet these costs also have been cit ed Increases in government ministries federally and pro vincial and expansion of departments and agencies have been blamed for substantial rises in taxes The new federal redistribution of ridings which will add more members than the present 265 also has been target few years ago special committee recommended more members for the Ontario legislature as well but there was such clamour at the time it was dropped It must be recognized that if people expect their governments to relieve them of some of todays heavy tax burdens they have to support realistic moves which are necessary to reduce taxes Instead they should be pressing for cutting down on frills and waste which taxpayers simply cannot afford the real need is drastic change in tax spending to restrict it to essential services and

its president Joe Davidson rejects the basic principle oi joint labor management talks to try to solve problems and instead espouses thepriiiciplc of confrontation The 1975 postal strike clearly
