Premier
John
Hart
said
today
that
his
government
is
ready
to
give
up
the
use
of
the
personal
income
tax
and
corporation
tax
fields
ton
a
three-year
period
providing
the
Dominion
assures
the
provinces
sufficient
compensation
in
return.
Sixth
of
the
nine
provincial
premiers
to
express
views
at
the
plenary
session
of
the
Dominion-provincial
conference
Mr.
Hart
said:
"Briefly,
our
position
is
we
will
recommend
for
a
three-year
trial
period
that
the
province
refrain
from
imposing
income
and
corporation
taxes
provided
we
are
compensated
by
a
sum
equal
to
what
we
would
collect
If
again
we
imposed
similar
taxes
to
what
were
In
force
previous
to
the
war
tax
agreement.
The
alternative
to
this
is
that
we
proceed
to
collect
Income
taxes
at
rate's;
current
before
the
war.
Should
we
be
obliged
to
do
this,
the
.
Dominion
government,
by
terms
of
the
present
tax
agreements,
must
reduce
their
taxes
accordingly
but
not
exceeding
ten
percent
on
corporation
in
comes.
ConscquenUyj,
our
.
.
re-
erUryiiljptothesc:
taxing
fieldj
would
not
mean
Increased
taxes
for
the
taxpayers.
Should
this
step
be
necessary
we
wpuld
ask
successlon
duties
for
a
tnree-year
period.
Mr.
Hart
asked
that
the
Dominion
give
further
Consideration
to
glvingup
taxes
on
gasoline,
parl-mutuels,
amusements
and
certain
other
revenues.
The
federal
offer
not
to
Increase
taxes
in
those
fields
during
the
term
of
a
three-year
agreement
did
not
go
far
enough.
Speaking
of
public
works,
Premier
Hart
said
the
province
wpuld,
doubtless,
be
prepared
to
co-operate
in
major
national
projects
but
these
were
something
in
which
Ottawa
could
and
should
take
the
lead.
Mr.
Hart
proposed
a
co-ordinating
council
between
Dominion
and
provinces.
