AUSTRALIA'S LAND TAX.
BRITISH OBJECTIONS.
MR. FISHER'S REPLY. (Received 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, June 13. A deputation of London business men, including Messrs. Stoxat, £. V. Reid. C. X. Kingston, Graham Lloyd, and Tredwen, waited on Mr. Fisher respecting the Land Tax. Messrs. Faithfull Begg, A. Williamson. W. C. Slaughter. F. W. Turner (Scottish Australian Investment Company), Henry H. Joslin (South Australian Company), and Montague Nelson (Nelson Bros.) voiced objections to the tax. Mr. Fisher said the tax was imposed in the interests of the Australian people. There were evidences that development had been retarded owing to land being held for speculative purposes. If any anomalies, apart from policy, existed, he was prepared to deal with them.
