NOT FAVOURED
TAXATION METHOD.
FOR RAISING PATRIOTIC FUNDS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Novemoer 7.
At the conference of the Associated Chambers of Commerce a remit proposed by Auckland delegates, that patriotic funds be raised by taxation, was defeated by an overwhelming majority. The suggested method was that additions to the national security tax be handed to the Patriotic Fund Board for expenditure. Mr F. G. Baskett, Auckland, contended that thousands of people who could well afford to pay were escaping without contributing a single penny. In addition, by the taxation method costs of raising money would be lowered.
Delegates said that if the Government raised the money for patriotic purposes it would insist on the administration of funds itself. Objection was also made to increasing taxation and to the. statement that only one section of the community contributed to the funds. '
Mr A. P. Greenfield, Dunedin, said that thousands of workers contributed their share.
