THE REVENUE QUESTION. We therefore pload that before new schemos áro thought out, overy consideration shall be given to possibilities which will not necossitate such a course. At present wo are losing sound $55,000 through the liquor, re- bato to the naval and military an thorities, and we are glad to noto that His Excelloney has in mind. as an alternative to further taxa- tion the possibile discontinuance of this privilege. If such an allowance could be made to the twin Services without imposing undue hardlelip on the civilian community we would certainly ap prove of the retention of the oxist- ing arrangement, but on the other hand we fely hold to the view that if the general body of rate- payers and taxpayors can bo sparod, further exuctions by the oxpringing of tho relate, then it should without delay come 10 an ond. This is n plon which wo have good reamis for believing the public strongly endorse.

THE MILITARY CONTRIBU- TION.
In view, therefore, of the serions. fintonefaldillienities of the Govern- ment and the changed, conditions through disturbance of the Co- lony's nuin suureg of revenue dne to compulsory duplianco with the wishes of the hiporial Govern- mont, we should now like to s the question revived at a strong offort mule, in conjunction with the Straits Government, if neod be, to have the mode of levying the military contribution revised in some way or other. It might bé dono either by thùjayment of a Hixed amount anally, or the ex- clusion of certain iteins from the impost which equitably ought to be excluded from the 20 per cent. deduction for military purposes, and the liquor royono, wo think, should be one of them, since the military already enjoys immunity from this tax.
