u The best system of taxation,” said Professor W. H. Pringle at the Rotary Club luncheon at Wellington on Tuesday, “is that which plucks the goose with the least amount of squealing, but we would like to get rid, not only of the squeal, but of the plucking.” There is no way of reducing taxation so well a-s by the reduction of armaments. Experts say, put the burden on the children. A meaner way could not ipossibly be conceived. I do not know how far you can save on your Civil Service in New Zealand, but it has been possible to a large extent in England.”
