the question of taxation and he told me
that America does not expect a man to
pay tax ii he has no income. Having
had dealings with the squatters | got to
know hat it costs a man fifty to sixty
dollars to cultivate and reap sufficient
sugar cane to produce one hOgShead OF
sugar; it may be more or less. Assam
ing that the hogshead of sugar is sold
for hfty-eight dollars, after spending six

duty he would have a loss of two dollars;
and if he paid the export duty he would
suffer a loss of eight dollars. That is
why | say the export tax is unfair. | am

have discussed this question with plant
ers and have studied it. appreciate the
remarks made by certain members in re-
gard to finding q substitute for the ex-
port tax if it is removed. But justice
must be done to the cane growers. The
Honorable Bird Appointed Member while
in conversation with me sometime ago
remarked that he had gone into the cat

port tax is not removed there is bound to

dIGn't argue that the export tax is fair.
| argued that we cannot cut revenues In
such a way that one man would be re-
