PATRIOTIC FUNDS
CONTRIBUTION BY TAXATION FAVOURED. MASTERTON COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS. A recommendation that in future funds for patriotic purposes should be raised by taxation was adopted at yesterday’s meeting of the Masterton District Patriotic Committee for submission to the Department of Internal Affairs. Mr. J. P. Farrell stated that he did not wish to bring up the methods which had been used to raise funds, but a good deal of feeling had existed in' that connection. He moved that it be a recommendation to the Department of Internal Affairs that any funds required in the future for provincial patriotic funds be raised by taxation. Mr. Farrell's motion was carried unanimously. “There was too much flogging the willing horse,” commented a member of the committee. “It is a wonderful idea,” said Mr. Norman Lee in support of the motion. Mr. J. C. D. Mackley: "It’s too wonderful.”
