TAXATION
Sir,—What a lot of consistent gentlemen we have in our Parliamentary OpSosition. The Leader of the Opposion and the member for Waikato, speaking about taxation, said high taxation is inevitable in times of war; and yet those same two gentlemen and the other members of the party have been condemning the Government for the whole of the war period, because the Government did not reduce taxation. The Opposition blames the Government for the fall in milling wheat, but those gentlemen are not honourable enough to admit that the excessivq' rainfall of the 1944-45 season reduced thousands of bushels of good quality wheat to pig feed; and many acres of wheat all over the country could not be harvested because the land was waterlogged and would not carry the reaping machinery.—Yours, etc..
G. E. WRIGHT. June 28, 1946.
