Increased Taxation in Irish Free State HEAVY MONTHLY LOSS (Received Jan. 17, 7.45 p.m.) London, Jan. 16. Speaking at Cavan, Mr. W. T. Cosgrave said the de Valeraites had promised to reduce taxation by £2 million, instead of which they had increased taxation by £4 million, while in July they had voted £2 million to prosecute the economic war, but voted no taxation to meet the charge. Moreover they had spent £1 million in providing work for unemployed. Whatever Government was returned to power would find that the Free State had begun 1933 with a debt of £3 million, and that the country was losing £1 million monthly in exports. The bookmakers are offering odds against Mr. de Valera getting a working majority, states a report from Cork.
