In a recent issue of your journal reference-is made to the sales tax, but this form of taxation does not appeal to the members of the- Chamber of Commerce, as it is reported to be an ■expensive mode ,of taxation due to the cost of collection. This should not be the case, and if it is then it will give extra employment. and thus -do some good. Regarding the suggestion, by the unamber of Commerce to increase income iiud wage tax,.surely people have enough to pay now by way of income tax, land tax, dole, unemployment tax, city rates, interest,, insurance, ■ and on top of all this 25 per .cent, extra cost of living owing to the exchange.: To further reduce the exemption below' the £300 a year mark, with all other taxes, will reduce a person's income to .enable him to become in a very short time one extra on the unemployment list and no house of his own to live in, the whole of his life savings gone, as he will not own anything. This is the s position that many will be placed m. It is the poorer class: that always suffers.—l am, etc., ■ . ■ FAIR DEAL.
