The dairy companies are raising i their voices once more in. regard to the butter tax. This time it 6eems as if the Department' in charge of this'matter has blundered grievously. In paying out the amounts due to the different companies an account of that proportion of their output used for home consumption, they evidsntiy paid out too much., and now of couree the Department is asking the companies to pay it back. This is one of those mistakes which irritate uselessly. The amounts paid out were evidently paid, subject to a final ■ justmen'fc, but it seems strange the Department should not have taken care to pay out rather under the amounts than over, so that in the final washup tbo hearts of the farmers would have been made glad by the receipt 1 of a cheque, instead of being desolated by having to disburse one.— "Manawatu Times."
