In the meanâ€" time a lot of momentous things are going to happen. One of them, the main one, is the Federal election on Monday, June 27th.

It is to the effect that wealth once conâ€" fiscated by the government ceases to exist, goes down the old drain and can never be again usable, notâ€"even for the prime purpose of production. Here is a notable case in point : Lord Gretton, who was chairman of the fam« ous Bass‘ brewery, died a very wealthy man, his will, having been probated recently, showâ€" ‘ing that he was "worth" £2,802,972, which is approximately 10,000,000. But, when the tax department was through fifiurlnx the incomeâ€" tax, superâ€"tax and other charges, the family had to pay £2,597,868, or around $11,000,000. That was great for the government but fatuous from the family point of view. Preâ€" sumably they were able to pay the imposts out of whatl))revioul members of the family had made. If they had not boenlhletogii what would th:‘fuvemnwnt have done? all their possessions, or sent them to jail? There isn‘t any. encouragement for manufacturers of .al:’y kind of product to go out for business, employ a lot of people and make money nowadays.
