STAMPS FOR WAR TAX. Wellington, May 25. A deputation from the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Patriotic Society interviewed the Hon. R. Heaton Rhodes, Postmaster-General today to suggest that his department grant permission for a special stamp to be affixed to letters with the view of augmenting the patriotic funds generally and in the first instance the funds of the forthcoming Wellington carnival. Mr Rhodes pointed out that he had had similar applications from several sources since the war began, and ii be made a concession to one organisation be would have to make it to all. The matter bad already received the consideration of the Cabinet. Mr Rhodes mentioned that another suggestion was that the postage rates should be increased as a war tax, but no decision bad yet been arrived at by the Cabinet. He informed the deputation that be had just received a specimen of a Canadian one cent, stamp overprinted "War tax." This stamp was apparently required to be attached to every posted letter in addition to the regular postage.
