The New Zealand Budget
» By Electric Telegraph. — Copyright. (per united press association.) Melbourne, June 28 The Argus this morning, in an article on th» Colonial Treasurer's Budget, says New Zealand ought to be fairly contented with unwonted happiness at the satisfactory surplus, and adds that it might be a wise caution on the part of Sir Harry Atkinson not to repeal any one of the innumerable taxes the New Zealanders endure. It goes on to say that a single favourable season and a rise in markets might prove only temporary, and could hardly be supposed to warrant Government in diminishing the sources of revenue by a single penny. The Argus concludes. " If the prosperity was more permanent, and we have every reason to believe it will be then the surplus ought to be used ia the remission of taxation, and not in again increasing the expenditure. Retrenchment should be the watchword of the colony."
