LANDS FOR SETTLEMENT.
TO THE EDITOn OF "THE PEES-." Sir, —Ca-i yon or one of your numerous reader- kindly explain to mc tho fairness of providing tho employees on tho estates bought by the Government •with the pick of the sections? What have the employees done for tho New Zealand public, for whom the Government is cutting up tho estates, tint they should be treated so differently to the rest of the would-be eettiers? Surely if the employees are entitled to be recompensed For long and faith-iil service, it is to thedr past employers they should turn for enrapensation, not to tho New Zealand Government. If the estates were sold to some private individual how would they (the employees) fare then? i" certainly, for my part, can't see •n-hy they should be treated as the favoured few wbou 60 many are waitins for the chance of getting land. Thanking you in anticipation.—Yours, etC " ENQUIRER. May 30_h, 1908.
