"RACKETEERING DOCUMENT"
"Honest George Forbes has flung bis first Budget in the distressed faces of the taxpayers, and also has thrown with it thl fate of his incompetent Government, says the Auckland "Sun" (Boform). It need not, be pretended that the majority of the Dominion's thinking people, will have any other thought more dominant in their minds to-day than the hope that this racketeering document will be the last of its kind to be presented by the new Leader of the United Ministry. In every way the Financial Statement which provoked the embarrassed amazement' and derislion in the House of Representatives last evening is the most dvastic Budget that has ever been foisted upon this generation of New Zealanders% In a word the Forbes Budget is so bad ia its exploitation of every source of revenue ,that the Opposition should put the Government out and test tho mind of the country on the Government's filching policy."
