VICTORIA’S FUTURE
PROGRESS OF ELECTION CAMPAIGN United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright MELBOURNE, February 6. Sir Stanley Argyle, Premier of Victoria, in a policy speech, said if the present improvement in industry were maintained and the Ministry were re-elected, there was little doubt but the Budget would be balanced in the near future. He confidently expected that the Budget estimate of the amount of the deficit this year would not be exceeded. The Ministry undertook to reduce taxation at the first opportunity, believing that in order not Ito cripple industry taxation should be as low as possible, consistent with the need of budgetry equilibrium. The Ministry will make further reductions in the unemployment relief tax as circumstances permit.
