May Precipitate Election
UPPER HOUSE WILL REJECT MEASURE
.Received Thursday, Midnight. SYDNEY, June 25. Mr. Lang’s Wages Tax Bill has been delayed until to-morrow.
It is officially stated that the rates are: Persons receiving £4 to £5 per week will pay 1/ in the £1; from £5 to £6, 2/ in the £1; from £6 to £7, 2/6; from £7 to £lO, 3/; £lO and over, a flat rate of 5/.
The view is expressed that the Legislative Council will throw the measure out and thus cause a crisis and possibly a general election, as Mr. Lang has no other means of raising funds.
