BLED WHITE
Racing men who returned to New Zealand from Sydney yesterday say taxation is pressing very heavy there, and they give some striking instances of how people are bled for money to boost up the State coffers.
The State's share of Nightmarch’s winnings amounted to about £1,400. His trainer's percentages did not escape the taxgatherer, whd reaped another £BO from A. McAuley.
The extreme was- reached in the case of a stable employee who had charge of a horse that competed at Randwick and did not win. Taxation on this attendant's wages during his short stay at Sydney was assessed at 10s, and was duly collected.
