I therefore reckon that, without remissions, the tax of sixteen-pence in the pound down to L156 a year would produce about L30,000,000, and that the tax down to L52 a year would about produce the rest. The total income that income tax is now levied on is nearly L600,000,000. We need not be surprised at the productiveness of the income tax. A man of L10,000 a year pays tax on that.

Here the springs issue l52 of them from under steep walls of sand; they form glad pools of blue and green that mirror the foliage with impeccable truthfulness and then, after coursing in distracted filaments about the "corbeille," join their waters and speed downhill towards the oasis, a narrow belt of trees running along either side.
