“PAY IT WITH POETRY”
JINGLE IN TAX OFFICE LETTERS IN VERSE MELBOURNE, March 14. ' Probably for the first time on record a Commissioner of Taxation has composed an official reply in rhyme to a taxpayer seeking time to pay. The taxpayer was poetic, and he couched his application to the Commissioner in moving rhythm with a pathetic jingle. The Commissioner (Mr. R. W. Chenoweth) adopted the same rhythm ar-d jingle for his reply, and gave the taxpayer time in which to pay.
