TAXATION AND THE GOVERNMENT.
It is altogether idle to pretend that it is only wealthy corporations and rich men who are concerned 'with capital •for investment. The whole life and progress of the Dominion depend upon it. The present position in which the country finds itself is not one for lugubrious wailing about the past and the future, but rather for a general survey of the situation, in order to devise ways and means to meet our (altered requirements. • The main necessity is money. It is the duty of Parliament to grapple with the problem of how it shall be made available and to do it in such a thorough manner that there will not be intervals of plenty or perious of famine. If it can .make money more easily available by abolishing the mortgage tax, then abolished it should be, but there are still _ other -things to do.—“ New Zealand Times.
