INCREASED TAXATION
"Before the last election, Mr. Savage stated that taxation had been overdone. . Yet in three years under his Government taxation has been increased by 45 per cent, from £15 18s to £23 Is 3d per head of population. If a man's wages are £5 per week and he has a wife and three children his wages are reduced by direct and indirect taxation to £3 4s 7d. Is it any wonder that the cost of living is weighing heavily upon the people of this Dominion and the housewife is finding difficulty in balancing her household accounts?"— Mr. A. B. Sievwright at his meeting on behalf of Mr: G. A. Monk at Porirua last night.
