SALES TAX ABOLITION
Chamber of Commerce Motion By Telegraph—Press Association. • DUNEDIN, March 19. At a meeting of the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce to-night the following motion was carried:—“That this Chamber urge that the Associated Chamber continue its efforts to bring about abolition of the Sales Tax on the grounds (1) That the tax is unjust and unfair in its incidence. (2) That it actually represents a tax to the consumer on many lines of approximately 9 to 15 per cent., not 5 pe r cent. (3) That the imposition of the tax is still further drying up the spending power of the community and there is a necessity that the tax should as far as possible be obviated by economy in Government expenditure.”
