To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


As things now are, largely due to the non- building of railways to open up fresh country, the value of land within what may be called the com- mercial areas has increased to an astounding extent.
Kone of us like to pay taxes. Therefore, it can be understood why the proposals made for imposing land taxes in Australia are strenuously resisted by the landholding classes. The answer of the men in the towns is that most of the State revenue is acquired by taxing the men in, or the goods which are im
...ported into, the big towns, and that much of this money is now being devoted to buying out owners of large estates and in assisting settlers. The town men feel that, as it is chiefly their money which is being utilised for agricultural development, big agriculturists themselves should contribute more than they are doing at the present time toward the means which will lead to the ultimate benefit of the whole country.
For instance, the Government of New South Wales is this current year (1909-10) spending at least one and a half millions of money on the resumption of estates for closer settlement.
