DUTY ON PICTURE FILMS.
10 THE EDITOR. Sir, —1 understand that the duty has been raised 200 per cent, on picture films coming into the country. That means, of course, the general public will have to pay out more for their innocent, cheap amusement. Let all women vote to put out the Government next election as a protest. I went to buy a shilling’s worth of oranges for a sick child to-day, and got three. I think fourpence for an orange a bit stiff. The poor children of London can always get an orange for a penny. It is time women used their privilege of the vote to effect. Mr Downie Stewart gets no vote from me or my family this time. One councillor lost his .seat at last election through the wrath of a few ladies, who could not take_ their dogs for a walk on the belt without leaders, so Jet all women as a protest vote out this Government at the next election.—l am, etc., A Worm will Turn’. September 19.
