INCREASED TAXATION
BUSINESS MEN PROTEST Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. The incidence of the Government’s new income-tax proposals was discussed by the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce this evening. Mr. C. H. Hewlett said it was unfair to impose additional taxation on a certain class of the community. If there was to be an increase in taxation, it should be general and should not affect one class only, the salaried man. Mr. W. Machin suggested the Government should address itself to the task of reducing the cost of Government, rather than seek to rebuff by increasing taxes. It was decided to request the Government to ease its demands on the community and on particular classes in the community, and give attention to reducing the cost of administration.
