Tax on Cycles.— A Tory paper mentions that a cycle tax is likely to be brought into force in New Nealand, but cyclists can put such a rumour down for what it is worth. Anent the matter we might mention that such a tax is in force in France. A writer in a Home weekly says:—“ The progress of cycling in France is altogether amazing. Everyone thought the tax on-cycles would injure the pastime, but it seems to have had just the opposite effect. Since the tax was imposed seven 'months ago, more than 130,000 cycles have been reported, and the proceeds amount to nearly 800,000 francs. That the young men and women of France ate going in for althletic sports with such splendid ardour is surely a hopeful sign of the times. Last time 1 took a walk round Paris I saw a great many more cycles than I should meet during a similar walk in London. They were flying about all over the boulevards in the most bewildering fashion. Let us hope that our Chancellor of the Exchequer will never be persuaded to tax so popular and wholesome a pastime. A cycle tax has often been suggested, but before we come to that we can surely tax photographs, theatre tickets, and many Other similar luxuries."
