Commie Clown Can't Copy Capitalism Moscow, May 11 -- (Reuters) -- Clowning is a serious business in Russia these days. Circus clowns were told they must have special Communist training to improve their perfor- mances and stamp out old fashion- ed capitalist funny business. The Soviet Literary Gazette call- ed for a school of clowning, with satirical writers at its head. In it circus comics would get training in "political, social and aesthetic disciplines, which are no less important for them than for stage, screen and opera artists." The magazine said: "The Soviet circus inust flatly renounce vul- gar, bourgeois acts and cosmopoli- tan mountebank masques which still persist in its performance and which hinder the correct develop- ment of clowning." Lose Nearly Third Toronto, May 11 (CP)--the girls just won't stay down on the farm. Since 1945 Ontario has lost near- ly a third of its female farm la- bor force. The male force dropped only two per cent. The third annual economic sur- vey filed by the Ontario govern- ment shows there are 20 times as many women in industry as on the arm, Men outnumber women 11 to Officials said Ontario's labor force totals 1,821,000, or 40 per cent of the province's population, That is a rise of 18 per cent over the 1945 level, To meet future demands, the gov- ernment says it is increasing the size and skill of the working force through selective immigration, re- nabilitation of handicapped persons a gradual reintroduction of women into industrial occupations.

At least we cannot say things about operators, and it certainly speeds up operations when one has a number of calls. Many thanks to patient operators who had much to put up with. Farmers are busy and seed is going in well, The fall wheat fields are thickening up and the thin spots are not quite so much in evidence.

It is an understandable desire. It pro- vides the method of extracting the most feathers from the goose with the least possible amount of hiss- Ang that Colbert, the great finance minister of Louis XIV of France, urged as the perfect form of taxa- tion. Of course, Colbert was work- ing for an absolute monarch and hiding taxes are basic in any system of absolutism. But, for all his astuteness, Col- bert was a mere child in the prac- tical application of his theory. He had not dreamed of deductions at the source, which so usefully di- verts the hissing from the politi= cian to the creator of wages, by in- ducing a confusion between "take- home pay" and earnings. Then there is the question as to how many people when they speak of a $2,000 automobile, realize that they are actually speaking of a $1,660 automobile and $340 taxes; or, speaking of a 40-cent packet of cigarettes, realize that consider- ably more than half the amount is tax. Look down the list, of which 7 these are only relatively incon- spicuous examples, and it appears that there is hardly anything you buy that hasn't a heavy. percentage of tax masquerading as price of goods, That, because it confuses the thinking of the people, is high- ly dangerous to their well-being. Now we have a new proposal to allow a particularly sinister form of hidden taxation, which is called a "tax on turnover." This is sinister, for a number of very simple rea- sons, Among them, because it is the opening wedge for provincial tinkering with the B.N.A. Act so that provincial politicians also may enjoy the political privilege of hid- ing taxes from the people. It is sinister because turnover is some- thing that happens after sales and not before. Hence the merchant must estimate his year's business in advance, so that these taxes may be included in his sales cost. To under-estimate is .to risk the dan- ger of bankruptcy. Every careful dictum of sound business would demand that the merchant must keep prices high. Then, as neces- saries are the bulk of all produc- tion, this proposed 3% tax would load its estimated $270 million burden on those least able to bear it. But, forgetting such individual applications we might remind our- selves that the terms «of the B.N.A, Act -- which shrewdly re- stricted the tax field -- were framed by representatives of all Best Wishes for Success TO THE MANAGEMENT OF CLOVERLEAF MOTEL [ 1 [ [ 84 SIMCOE If we can be of service to you DIAL 535-4433 OSHAWA WOOD PRODUCTS "COMPANY ST. SOUTH sections to assure the maximum responsibility of the politicians to the people. The new proposal would reverse that policy and, in expanding the field of hidden taxation, would limit the corrective influence of public hissing. That is the first step toward absolutism.
