POETIC TAXPAYER
APPROPRIATE REPLY BY COMMISSIONER (United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 14th March, 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Probably for the first time on record, a Commissioner of taxation has composed an official reply in rhyme to a taxpayer seeking time lo pay. The taxpayer was poetic; lie couched' his application to the Commissioner in moving rhythm with a pathetic jingle. Commissioner R. W. Chenowet-h adopted the same rhythm and jingle for the reply and gave the taxpayer time to pay.
