NEW TAXING PROPOSALS
POSITION OF SMALL FARMERS. (From Our Own Correspondent.) HAWERA, September 8. At a meeting of the Egmont A. and P. Association, Mr O. Hawker brought up the question of the land tax and mortgages proposals of the Government, which, he said, would fall heavily upon small farmers in Taranaki. He moved—"That whilst this society recognises the necessity that all means possible should be used to raise taxation, it considers that the incidence of the proposed taxation in regard to land and mortgages will affect this district very seriously." The President, in supporting the motion, said the ' taxation referred to was practically taxing a man on his debts. The motion was carried, and it was decided that a copy be sent to the Minister of Finance, the members for_ the district, and also to the other associations in Taranaki. Mr Mills mentioned that the farmers' Union was also- moving in the matter.
