WAR TAXATION
NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. CHRISTCHURCH, Aug. 11. “During the hearing several references were made to recent increases in taxation imposed specially for war purposes and to the extent to which that taxation will burden workers," states Mr. Justice Tyndall's memorandum. “The Legislature imposed the special taxation subsequent to the promulgation of the Rates of Wages Emergency Regulations, and, indeed, subsequent to the filing of the application under consideration. “Parliament in its wisdom has already determined the manner in which the financial war burden is to be distributed over the various classes of the community, and if the Court of Arbitration in dealing with an application for a general rder were to take into account the impact of special taxation on workers, then it would, in effect, be reviewing the decision of the Legislature. “I do not propose, therefore, to take into account the national security tax and other special taxation primarily imposed and specifically ear-marked for war purposes.
