DR. S. N. CHAU
The high cost of Government
Dr. Chau referred to the record expenditure, which he called a staggering sum. More than 40 per cent of the total was for Govern-
font salaries and allowances.
He questioned the wisdom of the suggested form of increase In direct taxation. It was farcical and grossly inequitable that, small number of salaried res- dents be required to pay a direct tax from which the remaining 90% per cent was in practice en- tirely exempt.
