Eager Reavers

= — SoS AMO SUOD SpEM FE A
=< The staf of the Deparimec-i= ance m Ut. appear

to be just a little over eager beaverish.:They are eager to get
every last penny in taxes, judging from the new table of
Income Tax Deductions at Source, but are not so eager to pay
interest on overpayments.

Deductions provided by the table which came into effect on
July Ist have been increased to 100% of the tax and are, of
course, some 25% higher than those in the previous table as
was announced by the Minister of Finance last spring.

The catch is that mostly everyone these days makes
charitable donations or has medical expenses high enough to
reduce taxable income.

As a result most tax payers will have too much taxes
deducted from their pay. Inevitably a tremendous number of
tax refund cheques will have to be sent out eventually and in
all likelihood many more civil servants will have to be hired
to look after the job.

There was not much wrong with the old system whereby
95% of the tax was deducted at the source. This meant that
for a great many people at the end of the fiscal year taxes due
and taxes paid evened out because of charitable donations,
medical expenses and other deductible items. :

We feel that many Canadians, realizing that their money
overpaid in tax deductions does not bear interest, are resentful
of the eager beaver attitude of the Department of Finance. Mr.
Abbott might well reconsider his department’s policy on pay-
roll tax deductions and revert to the former, more equitable
system.---CWNA.

trom Another Viewpoint

The stabilizers in ‘Washington are

the Government of Canada, The im-

Cian Government seems disposed not
to interfere.

their tactics. Several courses might be
suggested.

The Canadians could mismanage
themselves into a famine. They could
blame the United States and intimate
to the rest of the world that the
United States was no better than
Communist Russia, if as good, Then
Congress would vote them a big gift.

If the Canadians want to be treated
real well, then let them honey up to
Stalin briefly; let them shoot some
citizens of the United States and
throw them into jail. Next they must
break with Stalin. After that they can’
get practically anything they want in
this country.

However, there are people in Wash-
ington who have been unhappy for
some time about the Canadian policy,
which is against trying to control
prices. The Canadians say they once
tried controls and they did not work.
So they prefer to try to stem inflation
by balancing their budget and re-
stricting credit, :
