This is a point not to bo overlooked when putting your head in the lion's mouth on the loth lnst. This is the law of the land now. Tho National Party divided the House in Parliament, firstly, that all children and women up to the age of 20 be exempt from taxation in dealing with the Social Security Bill; and, secondly, that a separate account be kept with the Reserve Bank to earmark all taxation under the above Act, so that public servants' contributions to the Superannuation Fynd could be kept separately and thus guarantee that the funds, so collected would be applied to their respective purposes for which they were intended. What happened? Tho Government members to a man voted against this amendment. Winn Awake.
