PAUSE AND CONSIDER THE FLOUR ■&-, WHEAT SLIDING DUTY' ■ ! ' SCALE. ' How is this going to be worked? The quotations for Flour and Wheat are always -t seaboard porta, where wheat is shipped, i.e., in wheat-growing countries. For instance, Lyttelton, Timarn, and Oamaru are the ports whore wheat is shipped, henco New Zealand's, quotations for Wheat and Flour aro given at thoso ports. If-the Sliding Scale Duty Bill becomes law, and the duty is removed when Flour exceeds £11 per ton, and assuming Wheat is just selling at a price to clear the miller from loss, what about tho • North Island ' Mills; which draw their Wheat Supplies from the South, and requiro 20s. per ton more to cover, freight and other expenses? And tho same applies to Southern Flour. ' , •' ■ Would the duty' on ■ Flour ..and Wheat .be removed for the North Island?.lf 80, would not the, North Island soon become an Australian freehold in its tiirio of plenty, and tho' Southern Wheat-grower become a thing f the past? .' . Assuming the. farmers refused to sell Wheat -at the Government price for Flour, by remaining off tho market for two or three months,' with advancing markets throughout the world as at present, is there any law that could compel them to sell Wheat at the Government's price for Flour? ' ; ' Tho Commonwealth of Australia, beforo tho prospective drought, was seriously considering the necessity of offering a bonus to encourago the exportation of Flour to open up its immcuGO areas for. Wheat-growing. Tho Commonwealth's duties on Wheat • and Flour are 50s. per ton, against! Now Zealand's 20s. per ton. Tho Australian export price for Flour is always from 10s. to 15s. per ton below, its local price, and if .further encouraged by a bonus, what would become of the Wheatgrowing and Milling .industry, of little New Zealand, ivith its numerous dependencies, ..nd would not tho cessation of those' industries seriously affect-our Bailway revenue? So let us pause and consider before going in for hasty-legislation to ruin "God's Own Country," which has also had a serious drought South—the first . for; ,13 years—which alono cost Oamaru £250,000' (vido Southern ■papers). ■■;■' ■'■■■■■■■ " , ..! s«2 THE "DAYLIGHT" ACETYLENE GAS ..
