THE SUBSIDIES.
HOPES OF A REDUCTION. LESS TAXATION WILL FOLLOW. By Telegraph.— Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. In the House of Representatives this afternoon, replying to Mr. G. Witty (Riccarton), Mr. Maseey said it was not true that the subsidy on flour had been withdrawn. As a matter of fact they would probably have to pay £lBO,OOO this year on flour. It was, however, probable that next year the subsidy on flour could be withdrawn. The position of butter was now under consideration by the Minister and the Agricultural Department, and he hoped to be able to make a statement to the House on the subject before the end of tiie session. He would not be too san'guine, but if he was able to reduce subsidies, say by £750,000, then he hoped to be able to reduce taxation by equivalent amount.
