Taxation And The B C Farmer

Excerpt from Production and Taxation in Canada: From the Farmers Standpoint This book, which I had the privilege of reading in manuscript some months ago, is the result of the personal experiences and studies of a man who is a practical farmer, and in addition has enjoyed the immense advantages of both a university and an agricultural college education. Mr. Good has long been known to me as one of the most intelligent and forward looking students of rural economics in Canada. The facts and conclusions which he sets forth in this book are a matter of common knowledge to most people who have examined rural conditions in Canada to-day with an impartial eye, but never before have they been set forth with such clearness of thought and language, and the case for a remedy presented in such a fine strain of human idealism. The author deals with cold facts and not fanciful illusions, and presents in the most convincing manner the case for speedy and drastic reform in our whole economic system if Canada is to pass comfortably through the trying years of reconstruction and attain to the high destiny which should be her goal. Our armies have won for us a primacy in arts of war. What we need now is to secure a similar primacy in the art of the organization of happiness and comfort for our people. Mr. Good is obviously not an extremist and shows an almost studied moderation on certain questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
