Bill to be Introduced Next Year REMOVAL OF ANOMALIES

(By TelegrapE—

WELLINGTON, Last Night. The Government has not lost sight of its intention announced earlier .this year to review the incidence of taxation. This was made clear by the Prime Minister, the Et. Hon. M. J. Savage, in an interview this evening, when he indicated that taxation legislation would be one of the major measures with which Parliament would be required to deal when it resumed its work early next year. "A measure to provide '"for the removal of many of the existing anomalies in the incidence of taxation was promised earlier this year, and we have not overlooked it," said Mr Savage. "At the moment we cannot attempt a .wholesale revision of the taxation system of the country, but, of course, that will have to be faced np to. "This legislation, along with that dealing with national health insurance, national superannuation and education, will constitute the major business of the second part off the session. National health insurance and superannuation may possibly require two Bills. "Cabinet will be concentrating on these measures when its meetings are resumed immediately after the law draftsman has had reasonable time to prepare the necessary Bills, particularly that dealing with national superaniruation."
