URGES ACTION ON COST OF LIVING

Repeal the sales tax, says Rush

‘The five percent sales tax
should be repealed because it
is a wholly unjust and unequal

tax which puts an unfair burden ~

on consumers and completely
violates the principle of ‘taxa-
tion according to ability topay’.”

This was the proposal put for-
ward at an all-candidate rally
in the North Vancouver Com-
munity Centre last Thursday by
Maurice Rush, Communist candi-
date for North Van-Seymour.

Rush charged that the Socred
governn.ent has surpassed all
previous provincial administra-
tions in creating a tax structure
which imposes heavy taxes on
the consuming public and lets the
big corporations get off easily.

He said the current provincial
budget draws 41.8 percent of
its revenues from direct taxes
on consumers, “At the top of
this list is the sales tax, but
there if also the motor fuel tax,
liquor tax, and motor vehicle
licences.”

Rush said that the Socred gov-
ernment heavily favors big busi-
ness in its taxation policy. He
gave the example that only nine
percent of B.C.’s income is de-
rived from the forest and land

. resources. He charged that one

forest company, McMillan-
Bloedel and Powell River, makes
a net profit each year which
equals the total provincial

Cigarette prices are ex-
pected to go up this week
following the action of the
Imperial Tobacco Co., last
weekend in boosting cigarette
prices to wholesalers.

revenue from the whole forest
industry.

The Communist candidate
urged that the tax structure be
revised so that companies ex-
ploiting the province’s natural
resources be obliged to contri-
bute a major share of provincial
revenues with which to finance
greater aid to education and
social legislation,
