I now turn to the Estimates of Revenue. The Treasurer has pre- pared his usual memorandum on Revenue,covering the three years 1929, 1930 and 1931 and copies of this are in the hands of Hon.

Assessment Increase.

I may say that in raising the stamp fee on receipts Government proposes to raise the amount below which exemption from a stamp is allowed to $20. This will provide a measure of relief in the case of small amounts.

But the most important item in the Government's programme for raising additional revenue is the
