TAXATION.
In his speech at Palmerston North on Monday night, Mr Massey, Leader of the Opposition, quoted some interesting statistics showing tion per head of the various Australasian colonies. The figures are as follow:—Victoria, £3 2s 2d; South Australia, £3 2s 2d; New South Wales £3 4s lid; Queensland, £3 8s lOd; Western Australia, £4 i3s 2d; New Zealand, £4 14s 7d. For the present year, he said, it should be mentioned that the New Zealand figures had increased by 5s 9d, making the taxation £5 Os 4d per head. In his speech at Carterton, last evening, Sir Joseph Ward said that in stating that the taxation per head had increased to £5, his opponents reckoned in their amounts the taxation paid in stamp duty on, the estates of deceased persons, the totalisator tax, and customs dutias, which were not paid by the public at large at all, but by particular individuals.
