TAXATION COMMISSION
PRIME MINISTER'S REPLY TO
LABOUR LEADER,
(BY TELEORAPIt—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
-. . INVERCARGILL, 9th April. The Prime Minister has sent the following, reply to Jlr. H. E. Holland (Leader of the Labour Party) regarding the appointment of the Taxation Coiut mission :— "You seem unable to realise that the members of the Taxation Commission have been appointed because they aYe thoroughly familiar with the subject with-which they are being called upon to deal, and not because they belong to .any particular class. '■ Evidence will be welcomed. from representative citizens of any section of the community able to express an intelligent , opinion qn . the. complicated and difficult question of direct .taxation. I hope your object is not to encouragedissent and resentment, as you express it, oh the part of any section of the^ public. It will be evident to you that -if I accepted your suggestion, and made the Commission representative of all ,shades of political sentiment throughout the Dominion, it would be impossible f6r members to arrive at any. recommendation of value to the country." ■ .
