POLITICAL DISCONTENT.
The thanks of every impartial reader of the "Star" are due to the writer of the editorial which summed up the Government and" the Labour party so accurately last week. It is only too true that wheu the Labour party takes office we will find that wc will get a stone instead of a loaf. The curse of presentday politics is the excessive interference of the Government in private business. There are far too -many regulations, inspectors and taxes. Not only has private enterprise been bled white with taxes to pay for this overgovernment and to make up losses on such Government ventures as Government houses, Government railways and such like, but it is strangling the very enterprises and industries that pay the taxes with inspectors and regulations. The weak point of the Labour party policy is that if would have further Government domination, but it is at least frank about it, and, as your sub-leader truthfully put it, it has a semblance of a. policy, while the Government has not got even the semblance of one, beyond tax, tax, tax the poorest. E. STEVENSON.
