TAXATION.
Sir,—Tho president of the Chamber of Commerce lias dono good service in pleading for complacent submission to the yoke about to bo laid upon tig by tho necessities of war. When, however, he urges that wo should assume this attitude because tho form that tho burdon is to take has been shaped bv a National Government, I disagree with him, '] ho. inference is that in his opinion a National Government, .so-called, can do 110 wrong. Hero again I differ. Sometimes it is found to be good policy to pat any Government on the back, no matter what its component parts may be. Sometimes, too, exhortations would have greater effect if we were assured that all exponents of tlio. gospel of cheerfulness and submissiveness carried tho heavy end of tho stick. Unfortunately this is not always the case.—l am, etc., VERB. SAP. September 10.
