THE PETROL TAX.
AND COMING ELECTIONS. CIRCULAR TO CANDIDATES. REMAND FOR REDUCTION. A determined national effort by motorists to bring about the removal of the 4M a gallon emergency tax on petrol was inaugurated by the South Island Motor Union at its annual meeting last week. In addition to pressing on the Prime Minister its claims for the removal of the tax, the Union decided in conjunction with the North Island Motor Union to circularise every candidate
at the forthcoming general election, asking him his views on the question. As the two organisations represent about 85,000 voters the opinion was expressed that the petrol tax issue will become an important one for the consideration of candidates.
