A SCATHING ATTACK

SYDNEY, May 12.
The “Herald,” in a tending article, savs that Mr Lang’s Bill to impose taxation upon the mortgagees is really nothing less than a Bill to confiscate all real property, upon failure to pay a State-wide capital levy. It is a piece of tyranny savagely conceived, but wc believe it is bound to be, defeated. The public look to the Legislative Council to again save them. This is au act of war and pillage by the Lang Government against, not only property owners, but all private enterprises, and industry. It i's meant to precipitate a crisis and that it will certainly do. ft i s over and beyond tlie last defences of justice and fair piny in the State Parliament. The public looks to the Federal authority, whose, active intervention is involved in this wtiuggle to use every power it possesses, not only to defeat this Laugist attempt to overthrow all order and security, 'but also to drive the wreckers from office'.
