VIEW OF TEACHERS' INSTITUTE SHOULD PRECEDE REMISSION OF TAXATION. iPeb United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 10. ' When moving remits urging that salary cuts should be restored and. that there should be no remission of taxation until at least one 10 per cent, cut had been restored, speakers at' the conference of the New Zealand Educational Institute expressed the view that the Government should follow the lead of the local bodies in the movement to augment purchasing power. It was the habit of Governments, it was stated, when a new level of stabilisation was reached, to pay more attention to the remitting of taxes than to a restoration of salary cute. Delegates considered, hoivever, that when conditions were improving the people who had suffered most should be the first to be given relief.
