OBJECTION TO TAXES
TWO BROTHERS FINED (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND) this dav. Two brothers, Alien and Louis Button, were charged at Onelutnga with failing to register under the Unemployment Act. A representative of the Unemployment. Board said that both men had persisted in the attitude that they could not register, as it was against their religious principles. The magistrate: Well, what have you to say? The defendants: We have conscientious objections. The magistrate: Conscientious objections to pay taxes, have you?—Yes. So has everybody else, but they have to pay all the same, and so will you or take it out. Fined £2 each!
