Wool prices spark debate over Australian farming tax plan
Critics of the wool sales deduction scheme argue it lowers inflation by forcing growers to prepay part of their tax. Various alternatives risk harming growers, including a government fixed price, Austalian revaluation, a Copland export tax, or freezing income as in New Zealand. The piece notes complex costs and comparisons with British and New Zealand practices as Australian woolgrowers were spared a harsher impact. It also references numerous auction results and individual estate sales, ending with a note on the Doggett’s Coat and Badge race.

His Name s Mudd He s Had It
A man named Mudd living on Largs Road near East Maitland says he has had enough after floods wash through his house up to 15 inches deep. He claims he has been floated out 16 times in two years and that his farm is wrecked by gullies and ravines. He cannot sell or leave because he is broke and the situation is the worst yet, with a newly built structure also washed away.

Has No River to Cross in Decatur Nebraska
A Decatur Nebraska resident spent 150000 dollars to build a bridge over the Missouri River, only to see the river shift 1700 feet. Now residents seek 550000 dollars from federal authorities to relocate the river, as travelers face a 50 mile detour. Army engineers decline, citing lack of funds and time, but hope to act after the current emergency.

A level surface is horizontal and perpendicular to the earth s centre. over small areas it seems flat, but across vast distances it follows the planet s curvature, making the ocean s surface effectively level. The note mentions five classic English horse races the 1 000 Guineas 2 000 Guineas Derby Oaks and St Leger and that the Derby is restricted to three year olds, preventing repeat wins.
