Fri~y, October 2~h, 1919.,

PARLIAMENT AND FINANCE
---4·~-_ 1

Parliament met on 'Wednesday
and was in~ormed by the Chancellor
of the Excllequer. that he has no intention of introducing an autumn
budget. A new ·budget "means new
taxation to c;over any ' 'deficiency,
and taxation is already heavy
enough. ThQse who are on the
rampage to find SOurces of taxation
are showing tnisplaced energy.
The total taxable revenue for last
financial year was £786,803,000, of
which over £600,000,000 was contributed in direcf taxes. The burden
already borne by the direct t4'Cpayers is a colossal one, and shouJd
not he increased. Hunting for henrQOsts to rpb may fmd favour with
certtUn elements of the population,
