REFORM CRITICISED.
BT MRS. MAGUIBE.
INVAI/HHTY PENSION - AND APPRENTICES ACT.
Although ehe paid * warm tribute to the Reform Government and eaid that "Reform could do anything," Sirs. C. E. Maguire, Reform's ihope for Auckland East, criticised her party during her addles to * crowded audience at St. AndrewVt Schoolroom, Symonda Street, last evening. Mr. H. P, Burton presided. The candidate- was accorded a good reception, although there was a little good-natured heckling towards the end. Mrs. Maguire said that the apprentice la we of the country were quite wrong. "It k> not right to allow only a of apprentices," eh© said. A Voice: If you had too many apprentices you would be doing men out of a job.
I think the thing could be fixed up alt right, to prevent such a state of affairs/ , ehe replied.
The invalidity pension being investigated by the Reform Government was also criticised by the candidate. "There ,is one thing that ie wrong about it," said Mre. Maguire. "A person is allowed to have property worth up to £1000, but ie not allowed £100 in liquid money. I think that if a thrifty man saves up a hundred pounds or so, ne «hould be able to get the pension as well."
Mrs. Maguire was accorded votes of and confidence.
