LETTER AND SPIRIT OF LAW
In the, course of an address given at Wadestown on Thursday night, and reported in "The Post," Mr. J. H. Luxford. S.M., said: "I do not: think the Commissioner of Taxes has ever seen any distinction between the spirit and the letter of the law." Some misapprehension seems to have arisen as to the meaning of the remarks, and Mr, Luxford points out that his words were in the nature of a topical and amusing aside. The heading to the report, "Tragic Farce," naturally i*ei'erred to another portion of Mr. Luxford's address, and not to any action or point of view of the Commissioner of Taxes, or his Department The Department states that it i$ obliged to administer the strict letter of the law.
