PATRIOTIC APPEAL
CAMPAIGN IN MASTERTON AND DISTRICT. (Contributed.) It is sometimes stated (often by those who do not want to give) that the correct method to handle the patriotic appeal is by taxation. Take two girls, both getting £3 per week. One comes from a comfortable home, not well off but apart from a small sum for board this girl has her wages to herself. The second girl is the only daughter of a widowed mother. Her brother and her fiancee are overseas. She helps to keep the home, tries to send something overseas, and is also trying to fill her bottom drawer. What equality of sacrifice would there be if these girls were taxed equally? . The second girl spends her life in giving to her mother, to her soldier boy, and to her soldier brother. The Patriotic Appeal Committee asks that you in your turn should give now. Help her help her soldier boys. John Bull’s office is care of Messis J. A. Betts Ltd.
