13. Find means for raising additional revenue and making the incidence
of taxation fairer. In particular, revise the provisions as to income
tax and death duties, so as to increase revenue without adding to the
hardships and burdens due to the present conditions. Some definite steps
with that object are quite practicable.

14. Examine what industries, if any, are to be specially fostered as
"key industries," and whether this can be done without injury to other
industries or adding to the heavy cost borne by the consumer.

15. Arrange plans for enabling labour to co-operate fully in settling
the conditions under which industry is to be carried on, and make
provision for preventing disputes, increasing production, allocating
profits fairly, and for reducing hours of work without diminishing
output.

16. Provide more and better housing, not only to secure the bare
accommodation necessary for health and decency, but also to make
attractive homes.

17. Increase the productivity of the land and promote agriculture, not
only for financial reasons, but to maintain and induce the growth of a
larger rural population. Stimulate education and research bearing on
agriculture.

18. Develop industrial villages, and also land settlements and
co-operative farming. Multiply allotments, both urban and rural, so far
as economic conditions permit and there is a supply of people desirous
and capable of working them.
