THE BUTTER-FAT LEVY.
MATTER VENTILATED IN PARLIAMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Mr. Young (Waikato) has given notice to ask the Government if, when they decided to levy the butterfat tax Cabinet had considered the constitutional phase of the question before it resolved to enforce payment to the State without Parliament having specially considered or been specially consulted as to same, and, if so, wSuld they state to the House the statutory authority under which the tax was levied; (2) Whether the Government proposes to refund to the dairy farmers every penny of the tribute levied upon that section of the community under the form of a butterfat tax, or whether, in the alternative, Cabinet proposes to ask Parliament to validate its action in enforcing the tax imposed without the authority of Parliament.
