Minister of Municipal Affairs Darcy McKeough claimed re- cently that there is no wide- spread tax strike by farmers in Ontario. He said reports to his office indicate taxes generally are being paid. __ -~__=, _ His remarks were prompted by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture call for its 100,000 members‘ to withhold education taxes until the province gives farmers a break on assessment. Farmers' Tax Strike Not Widespread Yet Farmers are basing their ob- jection to education taxes on the fact that urban property owners pay taxes only on their homes and a small site, where- as farmers have to pay these taxes on their fields as well. Mr. McKeough stated he can not promise immediate relief. although, “There is no question farmers are affected by an in- equitable distribution of the taxload, like pensioners and other fixed-income groups.” Premier John Robarts is tak- ing a harder line. in recent re- marks. At St. Lawrence Hall in Toronto recentLv, he said he takes “a dim view" of tax with- holding. “I don‘t think it lies in the purview of any one section ‘of our society to decide it’s not going to pay its taxes,” he stat- ed. “And I think it’s up to the rest of society to see that it is not done." Farmers (or any other tax- payer) may legally withhold tax payments for three years before losing their property by default. They would have to pay a fairly high rate of interest on such larrears.

Officials of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture are op- timistic that their call for an immediate stop to education tax payments has found wide support among their 100,000 members. OFA Claims Tax Revolt Winning Wide Support Throughout Province Assessment of the effective- ness of the ban, which began September 29 and is aimed at forcing a better tax deal for the farmer, was still difficult yesterday because deadlines of fall tax payments vary widely from county to county: But David Hopkins, informa- tion officer for the OFA, said the mood and actions of On- tario farmers appear to spell success for the campaign. “There are very few farmers who disagree with us," Mr. Hopkins said in an interview. “Most indicated their support”. The OFA urged its members to stop paying education tax, which swallows up about half of the total property tax, be- cause. it says, the Ontario far- mer has an unjustly heavy tax burden. The federation says the far- mer is taxed on his home, resâ€" idential lot, barns and acreage. The city dweller only pays tax- es on his home and lot. "Til; difference, Mr. Hopkins said, may mean $1,000 a year or more. He said an Essex County far- mer with 302 acres last year had to pay $1,104 in education tax. A highly-paid city execu- tive living on a 113-foot lot paid only $290. A janitor on a 50-foot lot paid $106. Mr. Hopkins said the cost of education to the farmer has jumped to 15 percent of the net income in 1969 and seven per- cent in 1966 and reassessment, started by the provincial gov- ernment about a year ago as a move towards greater uniform- ity. equity and accuracy in tax- iation. has only aggravated the ‘problem. The federation wants the On- tario Government to assume a greater share of the education cost, preferably 100 percent, and lift the education tax por- tion from farming property. The government currently pays 51 percent of the cost and raises the remainder through provincial or municipal taxes. Mr. Hopkins said the prov- ince has indicated it will raise its education share to 60 per- cent in the next two or three years. “but We can't wait that long". "The productivity of farmers has increased by 192 percent 1n the last 20 years, while the increase in industry was under 100 percent," he said.

A survey of Ontario counties showed that a limited number of farmers, due to pay the fall installment of their taxes now. have gone along with the OFA. Withholding action was tak- en by farmers in the Counties of Lanark, Ramsay, Drummond. Sherbrooke and Stormont in Eastern Ontario as well as by some in Wellington, Niagara, Perth, Sarnia and Simcoe. Ray Hartman, clerk of Wall- ace Township in Perth County, however, reserved judgment. “I don’t know how it could be successful," he said. “I won‘t accept part pay- ments and the banks won‘t either." ‘ TAKE UP CERAMICS!
