Apply De WILLIAMS. 24/28 Havelock: 1 The Point at Issue |'Do you Pay Land Tax P \ Are you one of the contributors of the £600,000 which is raised annually for Government purposes by this source ? IF SO, HOW WILL PROHIBITION AFFECT YOU? Last year the Government received £850,000 by taxes on liquor, and a further £IOO,OOO was paid by the Licensed Trade in railway freights, making a total of nearly ONE MILLION ANNUALLY. If Prohibition is carried, hpw can this be replaced ? The farming community already has many burdens, perhaps more than its full share, but it is almost certain that the deficit in the revenue following on Prohibition would have to be met by A More than Doubled Land Tax. Are you prepared for this ? Do you think it reasonable, and can you afford it? If you don’t believe in penalising the farming community for the purpose of financing a doubtful experiment, then, on both issues, see to it that your friends as well as yourself.
