COUNTRY RACING CLUBS.
A PLEA FOR RELIEF. FROM TAXATION BURDEN. (“The Age** Special.) Parliament Buildings, Oct. 30. —The Prime Minister received sympathetically a suggestion from Mr P. A. De La Perrelle in the House to»-day that he should consider a reduction in taxation to small racing clubs, a number ot which would be obliged to go out of existence owing to the heavy burden. Mr Massey said he remembered answering a similar question last year in a favourable manner. It was a matter for Cabinet, and he could make no definite promise except that Cabinet- would consider it before the session ended. He knew some of the clubs were in difficulty, and had just received a communication from a good club in the South Island, showing that they had lost over £6OO, and it was impossible for them to carry on.
