HEAVILY TAXED,
CON AN DOYLE LAMENT. (Received 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Sir A. Co,nan Doyle sails to-day by the Naldera. He paid a tribute to the courtesy and kindness of the people, but spoke with less enthusiasm of his experience at the hands of the' tax-r ation authorities. "I wa 3 only fifteen days in New Zealand," he said, "but they took £141 in taxes. Ido not quite understand it, but it appears to be a .tax on my earnings in the Dominion. I believe I have to pay the Australian tax gatherers several hundreds. Australia never had a visitor who contributed so much .to its revenue for so short a stay and who ha® taken so little from the country.*'— A. and N.Z.
