.Vote for SoundOovsraaoent V -ieeority Progress- J \ V&TB / - realities? What have the Labour-Socialist Governments in Australia done for THE AVERAGE WORKER and his family? It is true that the Lang Government, as soon as it got into office, boosted up the Premier's own salary from £2,000 to £2,445 a year, while other Ministers and Members got increases ranging from £5 '5. - to £9 a week tacked on to their salaries. It is significant that Ministerial salaries were increased by £4so—more than twice the worker's full wage. This is the Labour leaders' idea of a fair deal—their much vaunted treatment for all." . In Queensland, where a Labour-Socialist Government has been in office continuously for many years, the country is seething with discontent and the average worker is very far from leading the happy life he expected. He never knows what trouble the Labour Bosses are going to plunge him into next. The Labour-Socialists here say that if they get into power they will do away with the people's right to own land and make us all State serfs. That is their policy. The worker, like the farmer, will be compelled to sell his home to the State. And the price? Well, he will have to take whatever price the agents of the Government fix. What is more, he won't even get hard cash for his forced sale. He will have to take paper bonds in payment. How Does This Strike You ? The leader of the New Zealand Labour-Socialist Party does not believe in interest. Would you put your money into the Post Office Savings Bank under a Labour-Socialist Government—and get no interest? You wouldn't even have security in your job. Commons'fjise tells you. that the very principles advocated by the Labour-Socialist Party would soon—if carried out—dislocate industry, cut off all outside financial assistance, and plunge the country into, a state of depression, if not bankruptcy. There is more unemployment in Australia under Labour-Socialist Governments than there is in New Zealand under a so-called "Capitalist" Government. Let Well Alone. Is it worth while throwing away the' substance for the shadow? '< Is it worth while risking your present security for the sake of promises which are not likely to be fulfilled and which, if they were carried out, Would involve the, average worker and his family in the crash? What has the socalled "Capitalistic"' Reform Government failed to do that the Labour-Socialist Governments elsewhere have done for the average worker? .Nothing at all. In fact, it has done more for the average working man, and. his family. That is simple ••fact. •■ •: ■■.■.''' You have here in New Zealand more, generous ■ provision than anywhere in the world in the way of loan advances to secure homes, and the Coaf.es' Government is actively extending the scheme. Coates has pledged his word to get to work on a large scale building homes for the people. He has put forward a definite and practical plan, and you know Coates is not a windbag. He gets things done. Look how he has already improved the housing conditions for Railway men and men oh Public Works' contracts. Ask them and their wives. Legislation to Benefit the Worker. You have a Rent Restriction Act; full protection under the Factories' Act against unhealthy working conditions: a stringent protection of. wages: Pensions (increased substantially by the Reform Government), not only for the aged, but for widows and orphan children, and for miners who contract occupational diseases. A National Provident scheme, liberally subsidised by the State, under which the worker is enabled on easy terms to make provision for his dependents or for his .own declining years. .;. Special recognition of Trades' Unions, with preference to unionists. Wide extensions of the Scaffolding Act for the protection of workmen. Legislation providing that good living accommodation must be provided for, shearer and other rural workers. The finest Act in the world for the safeguarding of those engaged in the mining industry. An Act to protect, the housewife against short weight in buying coke and coal. Free.dental treatment for your children irk the schools. , , . „; ■ ~ ; Maternity homes. Workers* Compensation recently substantially increased. The most democratic and the freest Education systemi inthfc world. dDon't Risk our Present Prosperity. Under the so-called Capitalistic Government, New Zealand to-day is the most prosperous country in the world with less unemployment than any other country, and with better prospects ahead for the average worker than any of the Labour-Socialist governed countries can offer. Are you, by your vote, going to upset all this?" Workers—that is the average worker, not the man looking for a fat political job—-what are you and, your wives and families going to get put of handing the Government of the country' over to a group of extremists who want to try out their pet theories at your risk and turn things upside down? Is it not better.to go gradually forward, bettering conditions from time to "time as you have been doing, than to risk all you have gained in a rash experiment?
