Canadians Get
Income Tax Cut
OTTAWA, ( P>—Most Canadians
today greeted with enthusiasm the
news that the projected 1947-19 10
federal budget will trim their in
come taxes an average of 29 per
cent, but they expressed disap
pointment that sales and luxury
taxes will remain unchanged.
Some labor officials were criti
cal of the fact that the new budget
—which calls for expenditure of
$2,002,000,000 in the new fiscal
year—proposes removal of the ex
cess profits tax. They contended
that if that levy could be removed
lower bracket income tuxes should
have been eliminated entirely.
Galleries of the House of Com
mons were jammed last night when
finance minister D. C. Abbott pre
sented the budget.
The finance minister said, the
surplus, first since 1930, compared
with a deficit of $2,123,043,000 in
1945-46 and would be applied
against Canada’s $13,000,000,000
debt. He said the surplus reflected
» the fact that the Dominion is “en
joying a degree of prosperity never
exceeded in living memory.”

“V.'e have roaches on our back
porch,” Mrs. Richard Devon, a
aris wa" bride, announced.
“All day ther’ve been going
‘c ou, c ou, coo, coo’,” she elabor
ated to her husband.
o' • '70'’1 make any
•noise,” he explained.
She e~co tea him to the po-ch,
rowed ’ im two cooing pigeons.
Her explanation: “As I discov
the birds I heard two neigh
bo” children fexclaim in their play,
‘ h, lookit the cockroaches.” And
since the English call male chick
ens ‘cocks’ I thought it not unlike
ly Americans would call pigeons
cockroaches.”
