HAPPY TAXPAYERS.
PRIME MINISTER’S GENTLE REMINDER. RUGBY AND THE BUDGET. WELLINGTON, August 10. I was interested in the large gathering at Athletic Park,” said the Prime Minister, the Hon. G. W. Forbes, at-the dinner to the British team on Saturday night. “I also had another interest in it. There is a little thing called the amusement tax which the Government gathers. I have never seen such a happy gathering of taxpayers in my life. In the whole gathering there was not one who had a word to say about the Budget. To-day was a day of Rugby football and that held the stage against anything. The Prime Mjmster, the Leader of the. Opposition, Leader of the Labour Party and others of more or less notorious character were forgotten. The heroes of the day were Porter and others who were playing the game.”—(P.A.)
