New Zealand is an agricultural country
of 1891 and succeeding years has levied
taxation of two sorts-on land and on in
comes. No attempt is made 10 collect taN
on personally.
The land tax is levied only on estates
worth $500 or upward. Mortgages and
some improvements are exempt.
On landed properties worth from $500
to S25,0CO Il tax rate is levied, varying
each year according 10 public needs. On
estates worth more than S2J,GO0 and uI
to $4,000. an additional tax of .00E pc:

estate of less than 1850 paws nothing.
This law was made to break up large
landed estates, and it has done it. They
cannot exist. AS land becomes more val
liable by the acre, estates of moderate
size will be similarly broken UP. As the
sity of population, this legislation will
suhdivide the land more and more.
The law forbids the sale by auction of
more than $40 acres in one plat.
