Salt-Tax Debate and Land Tax Relief in Parliament
The speaker argues the land tax is the nation’s heaviest burden on landowners and farmers, while salt duties were eased to relieve the tax. He urges careful use of power, stating reducing burdens must fit public need and that reviving the salt duty aids equitable relief for landed interests. He condemns rash attacks and defends parliamentary consent.
