STRONG REMARKS IN THE ADE-
LAIDE PARLIAMENT.
INCOME TAX AMENDMENT,
Presa Association. Electric Telegraph Copyright. Adelaide, July 16. Daring a discussion in the State Legislative Council on the Murray water question, the Hon. A. R. Ad<3i« son said if New South Wales and Vie* toria denied riparian rights to South, Australia it would be the duty of the Government to send an army to the , neighboring States to destroy the irrigation works. Before that course was resorted to he hoped the question would be brought before the Privy Council.
Sydney, July 10.
An Income Tax Amending Bill has been introduced in the State Parliament. It is intended to stop leakage to the extent of over thirty thousand pounds.
The measure provides for a tax on interest on foreign mortgages. Where the mortgagee lives abroad the mortgager will be empowered to deduct the amount of the tax from the interest due.
It is also proposed to make agents of shipping companies whose chief offices are outside the State pay a tax of 5 per cent, on outward freights and passage money.
