Littic practical consideration has been given, however, to another way of putting money into circulation -- one which, according to its pro- ponents, would be effective immediately. This other way is by cutting taxes. This method immediately puts money into people's hands and the assumption is that they will spend it. Perhaps it hasn't been used because it is as yet an untried method and therefore might be something of a gamble; and perhaps, others comment acidly it is considered much simpler to take money fron people and spend it for them than to give it back to them so that they can spend it for themselves. . Another reason why it hasn't been used may be that only relatively recently would it have — budrret, been effective. In the 1980s taxes were low and a tix cub wouldn't have put much money Into eireulation —- if would have meant ttle to the individual or the economy. With today's high taxes, however, the picture is entirely changed; a tax ent would release preat sums for indl- vidual spending, One pamble in the tax-eut method is that people might not spend the money, they might eave jt, This virtuous alternative, while strengthening individual financial positions and making more money avallable for investment, presumably would defeat the purpose of In+ crease spending for whieh the tax eut wis made, Victoria Report VICTORIA -—' The session goes along with plenty of talk, and not much conerete action wee a bill here and there, but of net much im- portanee, This is a session fay removed from an election, so the government ean afford to take Ib ensy.

It is charged with being slow in its effects, debt- creating and self-perpetuating long after its need has passed, President Kennedy has brought the tax-cut method into practical politics by proposing that he be given stand-by authority, subject to Con- pressional velo, to counter recession’ by re- ducine temporarily all individual tay, rates by not more than five per cent in cach bracket. Norman B. Ture, director of tax studies, National Bureau of Eeonomic Research, Wash- ington, comments on the president's proposals in the current (January-February) issue of the ‘anadian Tax Journal, publication of the Canadian Tax Poundation. We says: “The basic substance of this preyosal has long been urped by a large group of economists, “Por a variety of reasons, the ‘emphasis of an cartier era on quick expansion of public works tO cannter recessionary «developments wave way in the post-war years before an in- creasing consensus that tax reductions were more feasible, quicker, and more effective for this purpose.

NO FREE RIDES, LOLLIPOPS From Liberty Magazine In the province of Alberta, no merchant can give a free balloon or lollipop to a kiddy. A free trip to Hawaii offered by a radio station, was order- ed cancelled. Newspapers were sternly warned against pub- lishing any advertisement that offered any free incentive to customers. Edmonton was stopped when it gave away drinking glasses as an advertisement. A Calgary shopping centre was told to stop showing free cartoons to kids, or offering free merry-go-round rides. The ancient and honored Hudson’s Bay Co. (incorpor- ated 1670), each year runs an annual “Bay Day” promotion at their Calgary store, This year, they offered free bus transportation to everyone in the city. They hoped many free riders would stop at their store; and the remainder, bound elsewhere, would think kindly of them. They arranged to rent the entire city bus sys- tem for an hour, last. Pebru- ary 26. Yor 10 days before the sale, in huge newspaper — ads, store told Calgarians — about thelr free bus rides, The day before the sale, the store ran full page ads, too... regret- fully eaneelling the free rides. The provincial government said ‘no.” Oddly, only one of the com- pany’s scheduled free give- ways was permitted that day, Patrons were allowed to tele- phone orders, collect, from anywhere in a 100-mile radius of Calgary.

Asked how the government was getting along enforcing its anti-promotion laws, one senior licensing officer pri- vately guffawed: “Oh, we're having a terrible time. All the merchants who objected to stamp plans thought this law they “requested would just apply to stores giving-stamps. Now they find it applies to their own promotions too. And they’re screaming.” Summed up in the Calgary Herald: “Some people thought that a ban on trading stamps meant merely a ban on trad- ing stamps: they called on the government to keep the people from hurting themselves. They may now consider the old axiom,- when the government lenas a hand, it nearly always takes a fist full.” And surveying the plight of city store keepers, Calgary's ex-Mayor Don McKay urgent- ly telegraphed a warning about tampering with free en- terprise to a British Columbia legislative committee last March, as it sat down to con- sider anti-stamp laws in that \ For WY.
