" To the Editor of THE SUN. * i Sir, —In your issue of the 3rd A. F. J. Miekle writes, inter aliay i "Britain, which has adopted a far reaching scheme of income ta< iof a progressive kind, whereby th<jj tax increases tremendously with in* crease in income, going much be* yond that in New Zealand." May I point out to your correspond Ident that recently a New Zealand settler stated at a meeting of the Ai« and P. Society that he paid 10/- iri the pound income tax, which i$ j higher than the highest income ii\ England, so A. F. J. Miekle is incor-» red when he speaks of the "British Itax going much beyond that in Zealand." —I am, etc., TAXPAYER.
