It is indeed a worthy project. ‘Taxation Pyramid and Gov't ‘Gum’ Helping Clog Wheels of Enterprise Some indication of .where Canadians are heading may be gathered from the experience of a Pennsylvania firm in protesting to the American government that it was required to.file 999 separate tax returns to city, state and federal gov- ernments. Werner Davidson, secretary-treasurer of the Caloric Corporation, a manufac- turer of gas ‘ranges in Topton, Pennsyl- vania, said: ‘ agance is in the past 12 months it has cost his com- pany $5.73. to collect each $1 of sales tax exacted by the ‘state of Ohio, and “$9.46 to collect a tax of $1 in Maryland. . But the folly, of this kind of extrav- heightened when, as David: told the story, the “Caloric Corp. . con- tracted with RCA for the installation of a computer’ to “offset the growing burden of tax filing, analyze the various state C at _V Uni- versity of Victoria in this capital city and.

Not only is ‘this swank. and wanton extravagance; but it’s sure to low- er academic’stands,and have the three universities fighting among themselves:for, government money, with “all ‘three suffering as a’ re- sult, ‘The government has done this to pander to local pride’ and. pre judice, hoping thereby . to’ stand itself in good stead with the. vot-. ers, come election. day. This parish-pump politics of the worst sort and should be condemned. There should be but one uni- versity in this province—UBC— with campus in other places, along the lines of the University of Call fornia. Mr. Peterson says increases in university salaries has taken much statutes and regulations, tax relati yf of oO x to jobbers, retailers and “Our: corporation and_ its = ies file a total of 999 tax returns of all kinds .in’ a:single year, and the cost of each return amounts.to $70. “This ‘expenditure of approximately $70,000 a year covers only the. physical preparation of the returns themselves and the accumulation of data required by the. state: taxing authorities. It does not include the expense of taxes not recov- ered through billing. to,customers, nor does it cover the fees we must pay to the maniy: states" for’ the doubtful: privilege of collecting? ‘their’ taxes or the cost of bonds we must:furnish to some states to guar- antee performance.” Davidson: then went on to reveal that institutional ‘accounts: the: ihandling of re- funds, returned goods, conditional .and credit sales, transportation ‘charges, in- stallation. and service. charges: tax Jiabil- ities on product containers’ and other materials; and’ the’ company’s state-by- state duties as a collector of taxes.” | The irony of the. situation, really, came home with ‘impact when the .state tax authorities turned thumbs down on an“ automated accounting ‘system .and in- |p: sisted that it must have: “hard copy audit pal records.” This provides a particularly ‘interest- ing example of the kind of. government gum that is clogging thé wheels of enter- prise. —— Powell River, News a iz XCLUS IVE! ~ COLORMATES ¢ GUIDE. : Hundreds of | harmonized decorative colors for, you to take, home!
