It takes ,a strong character to reverse a political stand that has been brought before the public. By withdrawing the tax, Mr. White proves that he is strong; apcl responsive to taxpayers. There should be more politicians with this quality." Hill adds, "As amended, the budget now provides an attrac- tive package for farmers.
