GRADUATED INCOME TAX.
THE PRIME MINISTER FORGETS. [BY TELEGRAPH.—SPECIAL correspondent.] Wellington, Tuesday. The rather unusual sound of the Prime Minister thanking a member of the front rank of the Opposition was heard in the House of Representatives to-night, when Sir Joseph Ward expressed his gratitude to Mr. Herries (Tauranga) for drawing his attention to the fact that legislation providing for the graduated income tax had not reached the Statute Book last session. Sir Joseph Ward admitted that he had forgotten this for the time being. Mr. Herries : That caps all. Sir Joseph Ward added that he intended to remedy the omission this session and that it would, with the bank tax, mean an increase in his revenue of £110,000 per annum. "Do you want the money?" queried Mr. Massey. "We want everything that is right- and proper," replied Sir Joseph Ward comprehensively.
