J- We shall pasa over Mr.

St. Laurcnt'i mischievous' a'nd divisive charge that Jlr. i'koHi and Mr. Djxtembak are conspiring to bleed poorer province for the fain of Ontario; uch talk i too irresponsible, too ugly for national unity, to be aontinued in discussion. But let take tome of Mr.

St. Laurent' other statement. He i tell? inn the Mantimer that there are only two way by which Ontario could get larger chare of tax revenue: either Dominion taxet would have to be increased Qr Ontario would take more at the expense of the other province. I this true? Well lat year. In 1958, Mr.

St. aient's government spent opulently If not extravagantly; spent more than Canada was spending at the peak of World War II; actually increased spending In some 25 government branches and departments which had nothing to do, not ven remotely, with defence cost. Yet If the yrar't end it had a surplus of 1 Now the extra amount of money that Hr. Fmost Is asking for the provinces (lot merely fiV Ontario but for alt the frovinces amount to $300,000,000. Therefore, if the division of tax revenue which Mr.

Fsost asks for had been made In 1958, Mr. St. Laurent's government, yithout increasing a tingle tax and still Spending as extravagantly as it did spend, would still have had a urplu of In other words, v.withdut touching the Dominion personal Income or the Corporation tax, or the sale tax or any other tax, the province would have ome $300,000,000 which they need desperately for schools and other sen-ice and the Dominion would still be In clover. Do the provinces, or municipalities jieed this extra money? Ontario's population in primary and secondary public and separate school lone stands now at 1,100,000, and thi Enrolment I expected to double in the ftcxt 10 or 13 year. Taking account of that, and remembering that this year the Combined expenditure of the province and its municipalities for education will be about $300,000,000, how are such vast Ctwts to be met costs which could well be doubled within the next 15 years? The inescapable answer is that if the Dominion continue doing what it is doing now, taking 90 cents of every Income tax dollar, these costs can only be met by still heavier and perhaps crushing municipal taxet on the small homeowners who are public and separate school supporters on the residents of every city, every town, every village, every rural area where there are schools t'o be kept up.

And schools, the vital needs of education, are not the only costs the provinces must carry; they must spend for highways, for universities, for police and fire protection, for the administration of Justice, for water and sewage works, for hospitals, for many other things. Ontario's estimated capital expenditure for such services including education In the next 20 vears Is the staggering sum of $11,000,000,000. Can the provinces do this? Ontario might; might in the event of punishing nd perhaps ruinous taxes on every home owner in every one of its communities, but other provinces couldn't. Already Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are deeply In the red deeply behind while their education and other services suffer. Mr St.

Laurent says to Mr. Frost: "If you got part of our $500,000,000 surplus and Mr, Diefenraker carried out hi other promises, all of them costing monev, wouldn't we then have to increase taxes? We shall return to that fallacy later, but in the meantime let there be no mistake about one clear fact, which is this: Unless there is some fairer and Juster 'division of taxes between the Dominion nd the provinces, then It is th" small homeowner, the supporter in the municipalities of both public and separate schools, who is join? to get hurt. He could be hurt disastrously. Small Need Per Cash London Pre Press. I ha now been unfolded.
