AN ECONOMIC PENSION
TAXATION OFFICE DEMANDS INFORMATION.
DUNEDIN, September 10. A letter which a returned soldier in Dunedin recently received from the Income Tax Department in Wellington makes one wonder if that Department is aware that a war started iin 1914 and that a large number of men, many of whom were killed and injured, went from New Zealand as combatants. The position is that the ex-soldier was asked to suornit a return of his income to the Department. As he was injured badly at the war he is in receipt of a pension because of his inability to perform ordinary work as a result of his disabilities. H.is return, which was duly forwarded, included those items. Now he has received a letter from the Department wnich asks him “ito explain more fully the item ‘economic pension,’ 'stating for what purpose it was granted and by whom.” It seems to be a case of the Department not knowing its own business.
