ALBERTS PREMIER Ie SLATES. GRATUITOUS INCOME FOR ADULTS — Scheme Believed to Mean Arbi- trary Levelling ‘Off of Wealth of Province By DEWITT MACKENZIE Edmonton, Alberta, Oct. 14—(P)— Provincial Premier William Aberhart’s Profit-sharing social . credit plan, which contemplates making a gratu- itous state income available to every adult citizen in his province, has all Canada guessing as to just what is happening. During an investigation in Alberta, and a five thousand mile sawing through the dominion, this writer did not find a single person, outside Aber- hart’s own cabinet, who could say just } what is in the mind of Canada’s most sensational personality, who is called the “man of destiny” by his admirers, and # dangerous potential dictator by hig opponents. This was true even in the capital of Alberta, Bankers and other economic ex- perts, and businessmen of all classes, with whom I talked, are running around in circles, They admit freely that they are in a state of nerves as Aberhart, backed by the. acclaims nd votes of the masses, proceeds to wield the big stick:to drive his pro- gram into operation. Scrap Economic Ideas The only thing they claim to see clearly, is that the scheme projects the . scrapping of orthodox economic ideas and the substitution of a regime which means (so they assert) an ar- bitrary levelling off of the wealth of the province, with the moneyed citi- vens footing the bill in the long run. Aberhart is still in the process of working out details and constructing the machine through which he hopes to make social credit function. It is planned to start payment of monthly New Management The West Cafe, formerly under the management of Fred Peterson, now under new management. We in- vite you to give us a trial. Bar in connection. West Cafe John Leppart, of social credit ip distribution of the’ yy increasing effective pur- e scientific prin- ‘social credit ts to soive the problem created by the existence of abundance on one hand and poverty ‘on the other. “The two major instruments upon which ‘social credit relies for the at- tainments of this objective are the basic dividend and the just price. The basic dividend is a monthly credit to be made available to every adult ‘citizen. This credit gives claim to goods and services, thereby increas- ing purchasing power and stimulat- ting distribution. The just price is a scientific means of effecting price control so as to prevent exorbitant profits from depriving the consumer of the benefits to be derived through the credits issued through the basic dividend. The purpose of social credit 4s to return to the consumer the full benefits accruing from mass produc- tion which have been made possible by our collective form of society.” Plans Huge Corporation + Aberhart’s plan would turn the province into a huge profit-sharing corporation, in which every citizen would be a shareholder and craw ac- tual dividends monthly. These divi- dends would not be in cash, but in credit which would have the pyrchas- ing power of cash. They would theo- retically be large enough to provide everybody with the necessities of life BOE coe cones mien mange The credit is based on the natural resources of the provinces. It applies only to operations within the province, and not to external deals, Movies Show True Minnesota Heroes Minneapolis, Oct. 14.—(®)—Two un- sung heroes of Minnesota's 7-0 foot- ball conquest over the University of Nebsaska last Saturday were revealed in motion pictures of the contest. They are Earl Svendsen, center, and Rudy Gmitro, speedy little sub- stitute halfback. The Golden Gophers made it 26 games without defeat and 19 con- secutive victories when Quarterback Bud Wilkinson took a punt on his own 25 yard line and passed laterally to Andy Uram who scampered 75 yards to @ touchdown. A large part of the credit for that touchdown run goes to Svendsen and Gmitro. Between them they blocked out three Nebraska players, leaving the field nearly clear to Uram for his long sprint. Besieged Spanish rebels in Toledo during the rebellion ate horses to prevent starvation.

Washington, Oct. 14.—(4)—The treasury department said Wednesday that “a number of large corporations” were considering a plan to refund ag- ricultural adjustment act processing taxes to consumers. The first of such refunds was an- nounced Tuesday night by General Mills, Inc., of Minneapolis, which of- fered to return processing taxes col- lected from its customers but not paid over to the government because of the supreme court’s invalidation’ of most of the adjustment act. The repayment—said to involve sev- eral million dollars—was decided upon after the treasury had ruled that all sums refunded would be exempt from the 80 per cent windfall tax. This levy was passed by the last session of congress to prevent “unjust enrichment” of processors, who had collected AAA taxes from consumers, but had not passed them on to the treasury when AAA was declared un- constitutional.
