REACTIONS
ARE
QUALIFIED-
BOTH
INDUSTRY
AND
LABOR
THINK
THERE
COULD
BE
GREATER
BENEFITS
OTTAWA
.(CP)
A
Canadian
Press
survey
of"
Canada-wide
reaction
to
the
new
federal
budget
revealed
today
in
a
nutshell
qualified
approval
by
industrial
heads
and
disappointment
of
trades
union
leaders
that
the
income
tax
cut
as
announced
last
night
by
Hon.
Douglas
Abbott
was
not
greater.
Financial
and
industrial
spokesmen
cheered
the
announcement
that
the
excess
profits
tax
of
fifteen
percent
will
be
dropped
December
.'Jl
although
some
thought
it
might
have
been
dropped
immediately.
Labor
spokesmen
were
bitter
at
linking
the
reduction
of
the
excess
profits
tax
with
a
reduction
in
the
personal
tax.
They
said
the
reductions
would
not
halt
the
campaign
for
higher
wages
and
complained
that
exemptions
in
the
lower
brackets
had
not
been
changed.
Sweeping
cuts
in
personal
income
taxes
averaging
twenty-nine
percent
or
more
for
nine
out
of
ten
taxpayers
were
announced
Tuesday
night
by
Finance
Minister
Abbott
as
he
placed
before
Commons
the
budget
which
is
spiced
heavily
to
the
liking
of
men
in
the
middle
income
tax
brackets.
The
reductions
are
effective
.Inly
1
of
this
year.
For
business
Mr.
Abbott
announced
abolition
of
the
fifteen
percent
excess
profits
tax
effective
December
Ul.
The
thirty
percent
lax
on
corporation
incomes
remains
unchanged.
-There
are
minor
alterations
relating
"to
business
but
no
change
in
the
broad
scope
of
taxes
applying
to
commodities
such
as
soft
drinks
and
chinaware,
candy
and
furs,
radios,
liquor,
tobacco
and
many
other
such
items.
The
25
percent
luxury
tax
on
jewelry
remains.
This,
in
brief'
is
an
outline
of
what
might
be
termed
a
"taxpayers'
budget"
aimed
at
reducing
taxation
levels
which
Mr.
Abbott
conceded
would
constitute
"a
serious
impediment"
to
a
full
working
effort
and
"a
brake
on
individual
drive
and
initiative.
Prcxcnl
basic
exemptions
and
allowances
remain
unchanged.
On
the
-governmental
side
of
the
budget,
Air.
Abbott
announced
that
he
was
budgeting
for
an
estimated
surplus
of
$190,000,000
providing
Ontario,
Quebec
and
Nova,
Scotia
do
not
sign
taxation
agreements
with
the
Dominion
and
a
surplus
oT
$80,000,000
if
they
do.
Mr.
Abbott
estimated
1017-KS
revenues
at
$2.-150,01)0,000
against
$2,981,000,000
in
the
1916-17
fiscal
year
and
expenditures
at
$2,100,000,000
against
$2-G32,()(IO,000.
While
the
individual
taxpayer
receives
preferred
treatment
in
the
budget,
business
gets
little
encouragement
aside
from
the
promise
of
the
year-end
abolition
of
the
excess
profits
tax.

that

department
for
lifting
the
federal
restrictions
placed
on
him
when
he
was
blacklisted
by
