The Financial “Policy” of the Future—What It May Come To
“The Walker Estate will under the Stamp Duties’ Act bring the welcome sum of £80,000 into the empty N.S.W. Treasury.”—Daily Paper.
Future Treasurer (to Physician in, charge of Moribund Millionaire): “Well, how is our patient today?”
Physician: “Why he has rallied a bit, and I am now going to give him a dose which we only give in extreme cases.’
Treasurer: “Ah—hum ah, doctor, if you gould manage just to let them have it rather stronger than usual—you see the public exchequer is so depleted, and this estate is such a very large one.” (It is really too horrible to think of.)
