LETTERBOX
JOKES
ACT
DISCUSSED
Its
The
Sales
Tax
WITH
PUBLIC
DISAPPROVAL
already
heard
from
many
quarters
and
in
the
face
of
the
opposition
ever,
of
some
of
its
own
normal
supporters
in
the
Legislature
the
Johnson-Anscomh
government
is
seeking
adoption
by
the
House
at
Victoria
of
the
three
percent
sales
tax.
A
light
sugar
coating
in
the
form
of
exemption
of
foods
and
one-third
of
the
proceeds
to
municipalities
notwithstanding,
this
nuisance
tax
proposal,
involving
a
visible
impost
for
every
purchaser
and
extra
bookkeeping
for
every
business,
large
and
small,
will
no
doubt,
get
a
rough
ride
although
there
is
little
question
butSthat
it
will
get
through.
The
budget
would
not
have
been
staked
to
it
had
there
been
much
possibility
of
its
rejection
and
defeat
of
the
government
"Eti
a
major
matter
of
policy
which
this,
of
course,
is.
What
the
electors
will
have
to
say
about
it
later
on
remains
to
be
seen.
That
is
where
the
gamble
with
the
sales
tax
will
be
really
reckoned
and
there
will
he
plenty
of
capital
made
of
it
in
the
meantime.
In
fairness
to
the
government,
however,
it
might
be
observed
tht
it
had
acceded
to
the
demand
for
greatly
increased
expenditures
on
social
services,
which
otherwise,
the
municipalities
would
have
had
to
pay
or
there
would
have
been
none
at
all.
There
has
to
be
money
found
to
pay
for
these
things
and
the
government
settles
on
the
sales
tax
as
what
it
considered
the
fairest,
if
not
the
mast
popular,
means.
The
thing
is
that,
if
these
services
and
aids
were
to
be
forthcoming,
they
must
be
paid
for.

IT
IS
NOT
a

the
usual

the
people
of

Rupert
to

causes
that

Things
may
not
be
quite
as
bright
in
Prince
Rupert
at
the
moment
as
they
could
be,
but
nevertheless,
there
would
seem
to
be
really
no
good
reason
why
the

should
suffer

quickly

We
would
venture
to
say
that
the
most
of
the
people
who
would
stall
or
evade
the
subscribing
of
a
few
dollars
to
the
Red
Cross
would
not
find
.it,
hard
to
dig
up
the
same
amount
for
many
another
less
worthy
or
less
necessary
pretext.
Maybe;
after
seeing
the
exemplification
of
the
blessing
which
the
Red
Cross
brought
to
a
neighbor
community
the
fine
little
outpost
hospital
at
Terrace
this
week
we
are
rather
enthusiastic
but,
nevertheless,
we
would
suggest
to
the
good
people
of
Prince
Rupert
that,
if
they
fall
down
in
their
support
of
the
Red
Cross,
they
should
be
downright
ashamed
of
themselves.
WHY
PICK
ON
US?
MAYBE
IT
WAS
just
a
passing
and
ill-considered
suggestion
put
forward
to
develop
another
point
but
we
heard
a
radio
speaker
last
night
say
something
about
the
banning
of
the
daily
newspaper
from
-the
home
because
it
contained
crime
news.
What
we
take
objection
to
is
even
mentioning
the
daily
newspaper
as
an
outstanding
medium
of
dissemination
of
crime
literature.
What
about
the
movies,
some
of
the
comics,
to
say
nothing
of
some
of
the
terrible
offerings
that
we
see
under
lurid
.
covers
among
the
magazine
racks
of
the
book
shops
and
news
stands?
Why
even
mention
the
newspapers
in
this
connection
?
The
radio
speaker
might
as
well
have
suggested
even
some
of
the
school
text
books.
We
do
knowbut
probably
she
did
not
think,
that,
in
the-modern
school
room,
the
much
berated
and
little
appreciated
daily
newspaper
is
more
and
more
becoming
an
accepted
authority
on
contemporary
history
and
general
knowledge.
Indeed,
it
is
tie-coming
a
text
itself,
by
and
large,
we
would
sav,
a
mighty
good
one
at
that.
BASIC
DIFFERENCES
.
THE
DIFFERENCE
between
the
western
world
I
and
the
world
of
Lenin,
Stalin
and
Co.
is
a
basic
difference.
Clement
Atlee
does
not
often
sjieak
of
Russia
and
its
way
of
thought
as
directly
or
as
colorfully
as
he
did
to
the
students
of
Oxford.
He
said:
Communism
has
len
"bred
on
this
continent
.
in
an
atmosphere
of
authoritarianism,
and
brought
to
flower
in
the
soil
of
czarism."
Our
way
of
life
''has
its
roots
in
European
civilization,
in
humanism,
in
Christianity
and,
in
this
country,
in
nur
British
history
...
We
here
are
brought
up
on
the
basis
of
a
civilization
whose
roots
go
back
in
the
past

which,
indeed,
tries
to
destroy
the
past."
There
is
the
essential
difference.
There
is
no
common
ground
between
people
who
guide
their
lives
by
the
traditions
of
a
thousand
years
of
history
and
religious
belief
and
established
custom
and
the
jieople
who
discard
these
things;
whose
only
background
is
the
improvised
judgments
of
inexperienced
or
upstart
leaders,
who
have
no
past,
nor
any
wish
to
learn
from
the
past.
That
is
a
deep
gap
that
will
hardly
be
bridged
in
our
day.
