During the consideration of the remit upon taxation at the annual provincial conference of the Farmers' Union at Inglewood on Thursday, Mr G. Davidson suggested that an extra tax of 5 per cent, should be placed upon' the sums handled by totalisators atl race meetings, and remarked that nra-sent-day racing did not help to bring forward the class of remounts required^ for, the Army. The President (Mr A Hunter) in referring to. the questioni said it must be admitted, that were it not tor racing there would be no thoroughbreds jn the country at all He would say, however, that owing to the way racing had been carried on. the results had not been conducive to keeping the horses up to the standard, and there had been a tendency to breed tor sprinters. If more encouragement were given to steeplechases, it might be an incentive for horse-owners to breed better horses, for the weightcarrying hunter was the best horse for military purposes.
