The man on the land is vent-ing his feelings against the water tax in no uncertain fashion. The Ulam L.P.A. passed the following motion at its last meeting: "That this association condemns the Government for passing an Act to compel the people on the land to pay a tax on rain that falls from the clouds on their land, also a matter that they have pro-cured by the sinking of wells. That this tax surpassess anything known In the history of the world for extreme depravlty."
