“The Most Hated Tax Of All”
[Per Press Association. —Copyright.] INVERCARGILL, This Day. The abolition of the unemployment levy of £1 a year was urged in a resolution carried by the Southland Provincial Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day. Members described the levy as the "most hated" taxation of all. “It is an iniquitous tax; I do not know why it was levied," said Mr R. Sim. “People are so embittered and prejudiced against it that they pay the quarterly instalments of 5/- rather than pay the £l.”
