POLYGAMY.

PASTIME TOO EXPENSIVE.

Polygamy, we are told, is dying out in Persiz, owing partly to the expense of keeping more wives than one and partly to the increasing influence of Western ideas and standards.

A similar decline in the practice has been for some time noticeable "Broadly the in' other countries.

Christian Church insists of mong gamy." Mr. Frank Leawood, one of the foreign secretaries of the' London Missionary Society, said to a representative of the Obser- ver, "but in its dealings with

"I know India and China, and quite distinctly the same sort of movement as that reported in Persia is going on there. In India there are two factors in the practice of polygamy, you have it more amongst the Mohammedans than the Hindus, and more among the rich than the poor. Among Hin dus, with whom monogamy is the rule and the tradition, polygamy is disappearing. I know less about the Mohammedans. They are a backward people as a rule, and any new movement touches them last.

THE TOTALISATOR.

IS IT A LOTTERY?

rh

The question of whether the Federal. Commissioner of Taxation has the power of imposing a tax of 13 per cent, en totalisator money paid in divi« dends was argued before Mr. Justice Knox (Chief Justice), Mr. Justice Isaacs, Mr. Justice Gavan Duffy, Mгx justice Rich and Mr. Justice Starke in the High Court at Sydney (N.S.W)) last month. It arose upon an applica- tion on behall of the Automatic Total istor Co. and Mr. Colin Stephen Chairman of the A.J.C.) for an ins junction to restrain the Commissioner from imposing the proposed impost Mr. Langer Owen, K.C., Mr. Lamb, K.C., and Mr. Weigell appeared for the applicants, and Mr. Weston repre- sented the Commissioner.

Mr. Langer Owen said the question arose as to whether the totalisator

could be deemed to be a lottery within the meaning of that term in law. Counsel quoted numerous cases to support the view thar the tute was now a lottery, and he, said it was impoé- sible for him to conceive how ir could be said that the winning of a prize on the tote was determined purely by. One went to the tote and chance. backed his choice. He put his money on the horse he thought was going to Win. The machine automatically gave hin a ticket which represented the horse upon which he had put his money. After the race was over the amounts invested in the machine were added up and the prizes mechanically given to the persons who picked the winners.

Mr. Justice Gavan Duffy remarked that if the tomlisator, was a lottery betting with a bookmaker was a lot-.

The Chief Justice said the only dif ference was that persons backing on the totalisator made their own price Linton and in the caner case the bookmaker made the price for them: "His Hon- our could not see the difference be tween a bookmaker writing on a piece of paper the rames of selected horses 0.and the rolisator issuing tickets. It the investors were right they would ger their money; if they were not right they would not.
