AYRES Managing Editor aS Authorized as Second Class Malt hy the Post Office Department, Ottawa TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1962 Howard makes a point for the NDP ferank Howard, New Democratic Party MP for Skeena, didn’t even eet to first base — first reading in parliamentary terms — with his try to re-enact the federal Income Tax Act. But he did get: his point across, Mr. Howard pointed out that the income tax law prevents a citizen from having legal counsel when his income tax appeal is heing heard. It also gives tax officers pretty large rights of seizure, — oe This sort of. anomaly extends to other fields. Only recently the country was given a flood of publicity about those general warrants, or writs of assistance, which are given to the SHAVING BREAKS RCMP in quantity and which enable them to enter homes or business prem- ises at any time, anywhere, under the Customs and Tixeise Act. Of course Mr. Howard may he wrong about the Bill of Rights. Does it really hegin to accomplish what Mr. Diefenbaker promised it would years ago when he started to promote it? [f it does not protect persons and property from arbitrary aets of gov- ernment it is worth while. And the pos- sthilities of such arbitrary aets exist in many pieces of legislation and in every advance of bureaucraey.
