This offer was first accepted and finauly refused, and those who drafted the Act, and those who ud- miniistercd the Act. together with allowed ‘it to pflSS through the . House of Commons and the Senate , created indigna- tion among those who were called upon and compelled to carry out and pay the tax, as it was found in many cases that it ‘cost the snrndl retail merchant more to keep track of the tax than the tux amounted to. This was the very thing the Association was en- deavouring to avoid;

When the present Government came into power o prominent ileilc- gotion of retail merchants walled upon the ‘Premier and upon those members o‘! the Cabinet who have to do with the administration ui‘ the Act, and pointed out to tin-in some of the difficulties to contend with regandng its operation.

The offer was accontod The solicitor prepared the amend- mcuis, and they waited upon flu:

Minis . o-fCustoms and Exclsizzind gore him a Ctipy of the amendments and explained tlic some ‘to him. After thc Budget ivns brought down ‘ti-hey again ‘naked permission to

hiave their solicitor consult with the solicitor ‘for the Government who was drafting the Act, to point out to him the clouded and confus- ed manner in which the Act was drawn. This request was rilsi, consented to and when the time come for the solicitors tn consult together the Department withdrew their consent and the result ex- actly wirat. was expccted—tiie in» ‘troducbion of an unintelligible piece of legislation, and more an- noying to tho trade than cvcr.
