WHEAT DUTIES.
SLIDING SCALE DENOUNCED. (From Our Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, Monday. A resolution requesting the Government to take immediate steps to have the sliding scale of wheat duties reduced was carried at the annual meeting of the South Auckland Dairy Association today. Mr. P. "R. Hawke, of Ilinuera, said it was a scandal that the duties were being continued with so much distress and unemployment in the land. The wheatgrowers and flour millers should bear their fair share of the burden. He believed wheat could be profitably produced in the Dominion at 1/10 per bushel* "Every political party is supporting this sliding scale," he added. "Yes, the whole thing is absolutely iniquitous," commented Mr. Dynes Fulton, chairman of directors of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company.
