TAX ON LAND.
THE GRADUATED SYSTEM.
BUSINESS MEN'S PROTEST.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. At a special general meeting of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce called to discuss the Government proposals for graduated taxation on land the following resolution was passed unanimously: '"That this meeting of Wellington merchants, manufacturers, traders and others protests against the proposed application of the graduated land tax to urban land when such land is in full economic use, and requests the Associated Chambers of Commerce to bring a protest before the Government." The meeting was held in committee, but a statement issued later indicated that the general opinion was that the incidence of the tax would create hardship and probably lead to unemployment because of the heavy burden on large commercial firms.
