URGES DECREASE IN TAXES; TELLS REASON Mr. Enery called attention to the fact that while the Federal governâ€" ment had decreased the national debt by approximately $6,750,000,000 beâ€" tween 1919 and 1926, the state and local subdivisions had increased their aaldebtb‘yhmth-m,m.- during same period. "During those years," Mr. Emery said, "Federal taxation fell from the total of the state and local taxaâ€" tion climbed from $28.24 per capita in 1919 to $45.18 in 1926. *This means that from ‘New Year‘s | until March 1. the production and| services of the nation are absorhed by its governments.

Addressing members of the Constitutional club in this city, he declared that, governâ€" ed by wisdom and prudence, the Comâ€" monwealth, in the not distant future, will stage a drama of social and maâ€" terial development that will surprise the world. â€" AUSTRALIA‘S FUTURE Minister of Customs of That Commonwealth Says He Has The Minister, chose for his subject: "Tariff and Some ~Economic Probâ€" lems." The duties of his office made him familiar with the developments of the State of Queensland. He had had something to do with sugar, cotâ€" ton, maize, meat, butter, bananas, canned fruits, and peanuts, all of which were affected by the Commonâ€" wealth government‘s policy of preferâ€" ential trade treaties. Protectionist Policy j "The principle of protection of priâ€" mary and secondary industries is the accepted policy of the great majority of the electors of the Commonwealth and it is the deliberate policy of the National Government," he declared. "The unanimous feeling of the peoâ€" ple of Australia is that that policy shall be tempered with imperial prefâ€" erenceâ€"a preference to Bona fide British goods, irrespective of Briâ€" tain‘s fiseal policy. The value of tariff preferences to Great Britain today is nearly £9,000,000 annually, ar an average of 12.per cent on the whole of the trade with the motherâ€" whole land."
