Lewis - Style Taxes Could Mean Fewer Jobs For Canadians The matter of Sunday closing hasn’t proven to be a very large prob- lem here as yet. But with continued On previous occasions we have advocated urgently that this probâ€" lem should be given the attention it deserves. But it seems to be a nettle which our legislators fear to grasp. Granted, it is a complex issue fraught with emotion and differences of out- look. Coming to a new legislative consensus on Sunday closing could make the long battle over liquor laws look like a Sunday picnic. Never- theless the matter must be resolved. But this doesn't mean the effects of the court's decision are going to be desirable in Alberta, or here either, if our Ontario courts follow this precedent. The old law is grad- ually going out of existence by de- fault and there is nothing to replace it. The result is a vacuum in which suffering and social wrong may thrive. Probably the large majority, rightly or wrongly, would agree Mr. Justice Harold Riley of Alberta has properly ruled that working on Sun- day isn’t a crime, despite the provi- sions of the 1906 federal Lord‘s Day Act. The Alberta Judge was right when he said the 66 year old law is archaic in the eyes of society in gen- eral today. Therefore, a recent decision of the Alberta Supreme Court has con- siderable significance for Southern York residents and could even play a part in forcing the issue to some sort of conclusion here and elsewhere in Ontario. v...” , . r W a number of social issues, not the least of which is the question of Sunâ€" day closing regulations for stores and other commercial endeavors.

Mr. By increasing or decreas- ing the weight of certain forms of taxation the gov- ernment can stimulate or put brakes on the economy. Politicians dis c o v e r e (1 there was more to the prob- lem than logic. Taxes are. levied primarily to meet legitimate expenses of gov- ernmentâ€"or at least the ex- penses which a majority of Members of Parliament con- sider legitimate. If that were the only reason for levying taxes. the idea of equity laid down long ago by Adam Smith. would be the prime consideration. But taxation is also a means by which the government can regulate the economy â€"- a principle with which Mr. Lewis as a long- time socialist must be quite familiar. The Carter Commission look a long look and came up with the logical conclu- sion that everyone should be taxed equally on every dollar of income from whatever source. set up the Carter Commis- sion to look into the prob- lems of inequity which had crept into the haphazard tax system. He visualizes the village as a Somehow the slow creeping deâ€" struction of our Sunday rest day must be stopped. We hope this Alberta court decision striking down an archaic law will be the event which will bring about a new and better law. Let it not be just another step in the destruction of our tradi- tional day of rest. » Legislation to replace the Lord's Day Act needn’t Close up everything: on Sunday so people are deprived of emergency necessities or recreational activities. Corner stores and drug stores can still remain open to cater to immediate human needs while major commerce ceases.“ Commercial and manufacturing activities could be allowed to carry on on Sunday for emergency or essential reasons, as long as workers are assured suffici- ent extra Sunday pay and benefits to normally discourage Sunday work. Workers should be free to attend church or be with their families and neighbors on Sunday. It isn’t a mat- ter of forcing religion on anyone when stores are forced to close. But when business concerns on Sunday stay open, it is a matter of forcing people to work every day of the week. And the people put in this unhappy position are most often likely to be those already having the most diffi- cult time, the people who are the lowest paid or marginally employed, the people who are least able to de- fend themselves. More and more the big stores and shopping complexes are moving toward staying open at times when they have traditionally been closed. This is a further threat to family and community life, tending to frag- ment individuals into unrelated age groups and surroundings. It threat- ens the ties that buttress our lives against anti-social behavior. growth the handwriting is on the wall. I .

Governments a re blamed when this condition exists just as they claim credit when unemployment is low. It is up to Mr. Lewis to show that hitting corpora- tions harder would not result in fewer jobs. The question of who pays corporation taxes is one which has never been satis- factorily settled. Either they are passed along to the con- sumer in pricesâ€"which is probably the general case and which helps boost the consumer price indexâ€"0r they are deducted from dividends paid shareholders. While debate on tax re- form measures was under way. corporations held back on expansion plans. Recently. with the uncertainty remov- ed. they had gone ahead. The special measures introduced by Finance Minister Turner in his first budget seem to be producing plans for even greater expansion in the next year. It is true that. in spite of Concassions to corporations are intended to attain this end.

Dear Mr. Editor POLITICIANS SHOULD HEED PEOPLES‘ WISHES Evidently our initial evaluation of John Roberts the winner was very wrong for during this term of government we were wondering if he had not suffer- ed the same fate as the Senator. We were certain that if he had, we would have heard the news so we assumed that Mr. Roberts was following in the foot- steps of his leader Prime Minister Trudeau and was probably off vacationing somewhere. But now, lo and behold, with the rumblings of another federal election afoot, we have received a few pamphlets and now a poll to fill out. In the United States. for 'example. current tax reform proposals aim at accomplish- ing some of the things Can- ada has already accomplish- “Soak the rich" has always been a popular slogan for demagogues. If it can be shown that the ordinary tax- payerâ€"who forms the vast majority of the electorateâ€" has to pay through the nose while the big fellow escapes relatively more lightly, the political consequences are obvious. Recent tax reforms laboriously worked out in Canada were a recognition of this basic political fact. Un- doubtedly they did not go as far as they were originally designed to do in achieving equity. But they did go as far as seemed possible with- out destroying incentives to expend. While Canada‘s tax system is not yet completely equit- able. nor is it ever likely to be. it is probably more so than the systems of most other countries. Four years ago, three candidates seeking: federal office spoke at King City Secondary School, of the three, John Roberts seemed to have the most vitality and life and he got our vote. Shortly after the federal election, we heard of the passing on of Senator Walâ€" lace McCutcheon who was also one of the three 1968 federal candidates for York Simcoe Riding. After having read the poll, we were appalled at the hint that public funds should be available to pay the election expenses of federal candidates who seek a position which pays them almost $30,000 annually from the public treasury. Shareholders. in turn pay in- come tax on dividends. In fact, the recognition that to some extent corporation tax is a double tax on income from dividends is the reason tax credits are accorded tax- payers who receive dividends from tax-paying Canadian corporations.

Plato wrote: “When there is an income tax. the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the same amount of income".

Dear Mr. Editor:â€" The widening and beautifying of Yonge Street is slowly im- proving the look of Richmond Hill. Mr. Turner has pointed out that current unemployment is not entirely a result of government policy. but stems. in part at least. from the labor strife. particular- ly in British Columbia and Quebec. He notes that there were 4.8 million man-days lost in Canada during the first six months of the year. In a specal article on tax reform, Business Week writes: “Economistsâ€"and the politicians who listen to themâ€"worry about the im- pact that heavy-handed tax reform might have on eco- nomic growth. Most of the tax preferences that business enjoys were granted original- ly on'the ground that they would stimulate expansion or offset a handicap. The nagâ€" ging questions that any tax reformer must answer are whether hitting the rich will shrink the flow of funds for investment and whether tightening up on corporaâ€" tions will reduce the number of job-holders as well as the number of fat cats." Mr. Lewis may not be too much concerned with this.

As labor becomes more ex- pensive. the pressure to sub- stitute machines is greater and no government policy is likely to insure that expan- sion of industry automati- cally means more jobs. Mr. Lewis might do more for the unemployed people about whOSe fate he is so disturbed if he worked to- ward a better understanding and more co-operation be- tween labor and industry rather than trying to in- crease the friction between them by his talk of “cor- porate welfare bums." A re- cent survey showed that Canada is losing more man- days on a comparative basis than any of the other indus- trialized lands except Italy. That is one field where re- form might be attempted. This is more than {our times as much time as was lost in the same period last year. Nor is the lost time confin- ed to the people actually on strike or locked out.
