REVISED TARIFF CONDEMNED
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. Strong condemnation of the recent amendment of tho Tariff Act was voiced at tho meeting of the Dominion executive of tho New Zealand Farmers' Union to-night. Captain F. Colbeck (Morrinsville) declared that under the new tariff there were over 30 articles used by primary producers upon which the duty had been raised. He moved : " That this executive views with the greatest dissatisfaction the recent amendment of the Tariff Act, which has tho effect of imposing more taxation on the primary producers, who feel that they have been betrayed, insomuch that the Government implicitly led tho farming community to believe that there would be relief.''
Mr. R. D. Duxfield (Horotiu) seconded the motion, remarking that the farmers throughout the Dominion were keenly disappointed with the new tariff. The motion was carried unanimously.
