TAXATION IN SAMOA.
(By TeletrraDtt—Press Association.) Auckland, May 16. Mr. W. E. Faulkner, who has recently arrived from Samoa, referring to the statement* of the German Consul that the outcry, against the taxation in Samoa was all nonsense, and emanated only from a few small planters down there, said this agitatiou is not by any means an outcry from a few 6mall tra- ' dors, but from the great majority of the ' business men in the group. Their great ! trouble is not the. payment of taxation at all, but that the authorities are mak- * ing it retrospective, and the people are 1 being called upon to pay for last year J as well as the present, and this double * taxation is regarded as something of an enormity. Nearly all the residents in ' Samoa who are carrying on business ' there are very much dissatisfied with l the administration. 1 ===== <
