WHO WILL PAY BETTING TAX?
THE BRITISH PROBLEM. By! Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received June 29, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 28. k The Secretary of the Turf Guardian 1 Society, giving evidence before tho 5 Betting Committee, urged the abolition of street bookmakers, a great many of whom lie said he classed merely as runners or agents for collecting bets for bookmakers. It would be impossible for all customers to call at licensed premises unless a large number were opened. This would lead to the employment of more men for tho purpose of collecting bets, thereby blunging betting more prominently before the public. He was satisfied from calculations that ten millions was exi pended annually in betting. Of this l sum three millions went to the book--3 makers and seven millions to the pubf lie. If a tax were imposed it would have to be found by the public.
