ALTERNATIVES SUGGESTED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, February 14.At a meeting of business men today it was decided to send the following resolution to the Prime Minister, local members of Parliament, and the As-sociated-Chambers of Commerce:—''A large meeting of representative business men today resolved that ■ the Government be urged not to proceed with the sales tax on the grounds'that it. is cumbersome to administer, costly to collect, and the cause of much friction among traders and will increase the already disproportionate Civil Service staff, besides which the cost to the altimate consumer will be greater nnder the sales tax than if the revenue were obtained by direct Customs duties on specified imports such as tea and sugar, and an increase of a >_»?penny in postage."
