TAXATION.
ITO the Editor of the Times.)
Sir, —To settle an argument would you be kind enough to answer the following : A, being a single man, is working for a farmer and earning £2 10s per week. He pays tfel for board and spends ,£1 10s in beer. “B ” is a married man with a family of five children, earning £2 103 per week, and spends £1 10s per week on food and clothes. Who pays the most to the revenue of the country, 11 A ”or “B.” I am, etc., Hippie.
[Seeing that “ A ” spends the whole of his earnings in board and beer, and the latter i 3 subject to heavy taxation, he certainly contributes mere to the revenue than “ B,” who spends only £l los.—Ed.l
