LABOUR AND THE MAYORALTY.
[To tho Editor.J Sir, —I should like to ask the Singletaxera- of Wellington , through the medium of-your-paper what they think of Mr. T. M. Wilford'B many-times repeated statement ''that higher rates ,mean higher rent." Surely such a statement, striking as it does, at the very root of the Single-tax theory, should not be . allowed- to go "unchallenged, even though, a most enthusiastic Single-taxer —one, -too, who plumes himself so publicly. on his own : consistency—is numbered . among Mr. Wilford's chief henchmen. It is clear that the Mayoral election is .being made a party contest. Every principle is abandoned in the ferment to elect one of the. Government clique. In these circumstances it may be that the more far-seeing "Labour mon" will vote Opposition, not because they love Mr. Crawford, but because they feel that in helping Mr. Wilford .they help the Ward-Millar Government and party, who, by sneers and. political corruption, postpone the day wben the Labour party in New Zealand shall do as the Labour party did last week in Australia. —I am, etc.,' " i : . LABOURITE. April 21.
