`It.has been a most unpleasant and

on them with higher MIA higlter

tween the salary' ceiling on bite
side and ,ingh taxes on the other.,
The general principleof war fin-.
anee in that respect has been that
those upon WilQ111, high taxes have
been placed should really bear
high taxes. , They should net he

The six .other Ways' of establishing

and inefficiency in the public service;
refusal to pay high interest charges
on the Proviucial. debt; *revenue from

* Second: Why shpuld. the peeple of
