[" 99 \u201c Voice Of The Pontiac By Subscripts Shawville, Quebec, Thursday, April 7,1955 No.4L 72nd Year.CANADA BUDGETS FOR $160,000,000 DEFICIT First Deficit Budget / O U K Elections In Offing?Portage Du Fort Man Killed Instantly By Car in Ten Years On Tuesday evening the Honourable Waller Harris, Federal Minister of Finance, delivered his maiden budget speech and handed down Canada's 91st budget.From amidst his eminent Cabinet Churchill Steps Down election which may be held during the week starting May 22.The Press has always been fond of making forecasts and predictions of events*\u2014particularly political events.No exception, as a subject of speculation, has been the recent political scene in England.Dire forecasts of the fate in store for \"Nye\" Sevan, Labour Party rebel, of the fate of the Labour Party itself and its present leader Clement Attlee, have been running rampant in the world press in recent weeks.A strong British contender for world headline space has been Sir Winston Churchill and the probable date of his resignation as Prime Minister.Associated with these important events in England has been a third question, namely, the possibility of an election \"this year.Differences within the British Labour Party have he up, after a fashion, with the prospect that rebel \"Nye\" will be re stored to grace in the House of Commons in the near future\u2014contrary to the best guesses a few weeks ago.Churchill has stepped down, as predicted.The remaining question in doubt is the date of the election.Conservatives in England are ur-the government to call an \u2022 election late next month to take advantage of a favourable political climate arising out of the split in the Labour Party, out of forecasts of economic difficulties later in the year, and out of indications cf increas.ng pultical lavuur ijr the Conservatives\u2014judging by tne results of a number of municipal elections held last week.An el* ection at the end of May would have the further advantage, if the Conservatives should win\u2014as they probably would\u2014of giving the new Conservative Prime Minister, S .Anthony Eden, a clear mandate for the government he has formed.So, for these various reasons, we are looking for a Tory win in a British Minister\u2014which required a total of 80 minutes to say.The main Budget proposals for the year are: 1.\tINCOME TAX: (a)\tA 2% reduction, from 49% to 47%, on income of corporations, to take effect January 1, 1955.(b)\tA 12 to 13% reduction for individual taxpayers earning less than $5,000 per year, with lesser reductions/ for persons earning higher annual sums, to take effect July 1, 1955.(c)\tRemoval of the 4% investment sur tax on income derived from rentals of real estate.2.\tEXCISE TAX: fa) 15% tax on automobiles reduced to 10% from April 6.(b) 10% tax on tires and tubes removed entirely.3.\tSALES TAX: (a)\tNo change is proposed in the 10% rate now in force.(b)\tCertain goods', on which tax has been levied in the past will now be exempt.4.\tTARRIFFS: (a) Reduction in tarriffs proposed for certain farm equipment, such as brooders, poultry eviscerating equipment, feed stuff, etc.5.\tSUCCESSION
