A FREE HAND TO THE GOVERNMENT.

A special general meeting of the mem. bers of the Penang Chamber of Commerce was held in the Chamber recently, when the Chamber agreed that a War Tax should be levied, and undertook to assist the Government in arriving at the beat method of raising whatever sum necesary.

That meeting suggested" assessment on house, and landed.property and enhanced stamp duties, to be enforced for a period of five to ten years. You may regard this an all outside the question, but I consider that it is as well to understand the views of the whole concinnity, when considering a question of this nature.

As that time it was zanimously agreed that this Colony should contribute £200,000 per annum. towards the war expenditure for five Fears, and, provided the financies of the Colony allowed it, for a farther five years, While we whole-heartedly supported the motion, the unofacial members were enerally of the opinion that a Colony of the size and wealth of the Straits Settle the end of 1915 our revenue. exceeded SINGAPORE: MOSSTs Borneo Co. meats was hot contributing sufficiently perditure. by over four million dollars,
