CANADIAN
LEGION,
in
a
letter
to
the
THK
editor
today,
vigorously
opposes
the
proposed
provincial
three
percent
sales
tax
and
calls
upon
the
city
council
and
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
support
it
in
the
opposition.
As
we
said
in
a
previous
editorial
and
we
repeat
it:
"Notwithstanding
the
Union
of
Municipalities
advocated
a
retail
sales
tax,
the
government
would
be
well
advised
to
forget
it."
But
the
government
has
ignored
suggestions
along
that
line
and
has,
in
the
face
of
(his
opposition
to
the
tax
on
principle,
been
unable
to
find
a
more
democratic
way
to
raise
the
revenue
required
for
social
services.
It
is
undoubtedly
true
that
in
these
lays
the
cost
of
social
services
to
the
people,
all
most
necessary,
is
increasing
to
a
very
great
extent.
Hut
of
what
value
are
these
services
if
in
the
final
analysis,
it
is
the
consumer
who
foots
the
bill?
For
it
is
the
consumer
in
this
case
who
will
pay
for-it.
Food,
it
is
true,
is
declared
to
be
exempt
f
rom
the
tax.
This
statement,
however,is
hardly
correct,
for
it
is
noted
that
the
tax
is
to
he
added
on
to
restaurant
meals.
And
there
are
thousands
of
people
of
this
province
who
partake
of
most
of
their
meals
in
restaurants.
They,
therefore,
will
suffer
accordingly.
Many
other
commodities
in
daily
use,
such
as
tobacco
and
cigarettes,
and
which
even
at
present
are
lyond
the
reach
of
some
people,
will
jump
higher,
as
will

furniture,

and
many
other

TAX
Editor,
Daily

The

is
deec-ly
concerned
about
the

three
per

tax.

beinp-
almitted
to
hospitals
when
they
could
be
treated
at
borne
and
also
regarding
patients
remaining
too
long
in
hospitals.
There
may
well
be
some
ground
for
his
warning.
How
many
jeople,
suffering
from
minor
ailments,
are
sent
to
hospital
today
when
they
could
just
as
easily
be
treated
with
every
comfort
in
their
own
homes?
With
many
hospitals
throughout
the
province
hard
pressed
for
room
and
st?ff,
there
are
undoubtedly
many
people
who
would
and
could
remain
at
home
rather
than
go
to
hospital.
There
are
also,
no
doubt,
cases,
which
after
a
few
days'
tivatnient
in
spital,
could
be
sent
home
to
recuperate,
instead
of
remaining
in
the
institution
until
completely
recovered.
In
Mr.
.Johnson's
suggestion,
it
would
appear,
might
be
found
a
partial
solution
to
the
overcrowding
of
hospitals
as
well
as
reducing-
the
expenditure
of
the
public
on
hospitals
and,
in
many
cases,
the
cost
to
the
patients
themselves.

"It
is
not
quite
so
generany
understood,
however,
that
to
get
good
schools
and
good
education
it
is
necessary
to
pay
good
salaries
to
teachers.
No
one
expects
to
buy
tenderloin
steaks
for
the
price
of
hamburger
or
good
lumber
for
the
price
of
poor
lumber,
neither
should
any
person
hope
to
get
good
teachers
for
the
price
of
unskilled
or
semi-skilled
labor.
"It
just
can't
be
done.
In
the
long
run,
perhaps
not
Immediately,
but
over
a
period
of
years,
the
quality
of
education
offered
in
our
schools
must
and
will
depend
on
the
money
paid
to
the
teachers.
'.
,
"Teachers'
salary
rates
have
Increased
by
28
per
cent
since
1945
but
in
the
same
period
the
cost
of
living
has
advanced
27
per
cent
so
that
the
net
relative
economic
position
of
teachers
is
virtually
unpaid.
The
teaching
profession
was
underpaid
in
1945
and
is
still
underpaid
In
1948
in
spite
of
increases
In
mony
earnings.
"So
long
as
this
condition
continues
our
schools
will
suffer.
Today
there
are
188
unqualified
teachers
employed
In
B.C.
schools
and
another
250
who
are
In
high
schools
without
the
educational
background
normally
required.
Elementary
teachers
especially
continue
to
be
inadequately
trained
for
the
responsibility
of
work
in
the
classroom.
But
Mis
situation
will
not
be
remedied
until
touchers'
salaries
are
raised.

"Not
only
must
educational
expenditures
be
maintained
at
their
present
level
but
also
more
money
must
be
found
for
education.
The
burden
on
real
property
In
most
areas
is
already
acute
so
that
it
falls
on
the
provincial
government
with
its
wider
taxation
powers
to
assume
the
responsibility.
If
present
provincial
sources
of
revenue
are
inadequate,
new
sources
must
be
found.
Education
is
too
important
a
service
to
be
crippled
by
lack
of
funds."
