THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Taxation l.r.vv. When we add up what we piiv rules and taxes, directly and mdrectlv. we find thin in New Zealand we uVe taxed to the extent of £61.000 per ,|y What do we get for for it,, except more taxes? We were better off 25 years ago when w<> were taxed to the extent of £10.501 per day. To multiply our taxation by almost six in t won tv-five years is not luiiny. it is exasperating. Nobody says now that this is God’s own Country. With 0000 men walking off Hie farms m t],c past three years, with over 5,000.000 acres of our pastoral lands gone' hack into fern and second growth, with twenty per cent. <J our bread-winners holding down jobs in public services, with borrowing rockotting far beyond the war period borrowing. with Government regulating everything from births to deaths, and with no hope for any relief, the outlook is bleak. —Weekly Press.
