PRIMAGE DUTY DISLIKED.
STRONG PROTEST CERTAIN. • "Tliis much you can say," said Mr. E. Salmond, chairman of the Wellington Chamber of' Commerce,, when asked' to comment on the Budget. "There will be a strong protest forthcoming- from the combined chambers of commerce concerning the doubling of the primage duty on importe. When the last Government < imposed a tax of I per cent. on imports it was stated that this could'not be handed on, but now that the tax has been doubled there will be a great temptation to add' 2 per cent. As to the other items, such as a supertax on land, they were just what was expected." "•
