PAMPERING THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Sir,—Many of thp small .traders will doubtless bo pleased that you liave so clearly pointed out the injustice that many of tliem will suffer if the taxation on war proiits is carricd into effcct, as ut present proposed. Our city traders nro no doubt quite ready to bear, their burden cheerfully in sharing the cost of this war, though there is a good deal of demur over the fact that so much of tho increased taxation is to bo Riven away as a war bonus to Civil Servants. It has boou suggested that an equitable arrangement would be to tax war profits on a graduated scale, up to .£s*3o, say, at 10 per cent.; .£IOOO at 20 par oent.; and
increasing to 60 per cent, (or profits in cxcess of <£5000.—1 am, etc., REGISTERED ACCOUNTANT.
