MR MASSEY AND THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr Massey said on July 6th last: ■‘There is only one way to cut down the. Government expenditure, ajnd that is to cut. down wages and salnrie.-. We could reduce the number iti' employees, —L cannot increase taxation.”
If prohibition is carried it will wipe out £2,500, 000 of revenue from the trade. This will have to be made up somehow —the country must have the money. Where is it to come from? It will mean extra taxation somewhere —yet Mr Massey says lie •cannot increase taxation, Will it mean further retrenchment? Will it mean another “cut” in salaries? These are questions for the Civil servant to consider. Vote Continuance and keep the revenue up. 07
