'■Dated at Auckland this Bth day of June, THOMAS CULPAN, Returning Officer, Auckland East. rrvo THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND x EAST. Ladies and Gentlemen, — As a candidate for City East, I beg to pl-ace before you a short summary of my political views, and as a straight-out Oppositionist, I hope to secure your support. I shall address meetings during the week. While recognising, as a Liberal should, come good work done by the present Government, I consider that the bulance is against them, and that there is urgent necessity for a change. The main planks of the platform of the Reform Party—small freehold and rapid settlement, free education from the primary school to the university, sounder borrowing. Parliamentary control, and honest administration—axe well known to most electors. I wish to emphasise in detail some of the reforms-which I particularly urge:— L REORGANISATION OF ACCOUNTS. A balance-sheet of the Dominion of Canada is a business man's balance-sheet, but an expert accountant could not tell the financial position of the New Zealand Government from the accounts as presented. Canada's Audit Act provided for the double entry system from the beginning. An expert from the Canadian Audit Department should be imported, who, with New Zealand experts, would remodel the whole of the accounts and the audit system. 2. NATIVE LAND. The recent Commission was almost entirely prq-Mnori. While desiring to treat the Maori with justice, I think the titles must be rapidly individualised, and a large proportion of the land sold upon the freehold tenure. Half the money at least must be vested in a Board of Trustees for the education of Maoris, chiefly as farmers. 3. HOME PROTECTION". The Family Home Protection 'Bill, drawn by mc after a careful study of the Homestead Laws of the United States, was introduced into the House of Representatives by W. F. M-assey, Esq., M.P., last session. It enables a man to make his wife a partner in the home, and it protects the home absolutely on Insolvency or from sale for debt until the youngest child attains the age of 21 years, and until the death of the widow. The arrangement is no clog upon iiny dealing with the home, so long as the wife consents to it. The system has been highly praised by the Supreme Court judges of the United States. i. GAMBLING EVIL. The best way to deal with the bookmaker is to abolish the licensing system of the present Government, and to ocreate the offence of "habitually betting as a means of support." A man charged with it could escape imprisonment by showing that he had ample property to live on. Such men being laiowu, I would give a right to any employer of a defaulting clerk to recover the whole amount on proof of betting transactions. The totalisator under this system would be unnecessary, and I would favour its abolition. lam not in favour of continuing the taxation of £200,000 per annum on the race-going people for the sake of the totalisalor. Let owners pay for their own sport. 5. TO THE. WORKERS. I am of opinion that arbitration increases your NOMINAL and DECREASE'S your REAL wages, still it Is useful. Workers will only derive real benefit from the rapid settlement of the land on the small freehold system, which relieves congestion RAISES WAGES, and LOWERS COST OF UVIMJ. 6. PROHIBITION. I am in favour of prohibition, and believe in the BABE MAJOHJTY as a liberal principle. A settlement of the matter would necessarily have to be Iα the nature of a compromise. I invite Electors in the Newton District to meet mc at the Schoolroom, Epiphany ■CShuxch. Karangahape-rd.. TO-NIGHT .(THURSDAY), when I will explain my views more fully in an address. lours faithfully, R. w. hill. A TJCKLAND TT'AST "DY-T^LECTION. WILL ADDRESS THE ELECTORS OF AUCKLAND-EAST, i QT.
