TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE AEO DISTRICT. fi EN IT.EMEN— The Representation Act vTT having constituted Te Aro a separate electorate. I haf c the honour to offer myself as a candidate for that District. My views upon some of the most important questions are as follows :—: — I should oppose any legislation having for its object the eeparation of the colony by giving separate Legislatures to the North and t-outh Islands, and any attempt to 1 evert to the Provincial system. At the same time, I think that the powers of County Councils should be increased. I am opposed to further taxation, because I think that by retrenchment the revenues of the colony will pay the interest upon loans and provide for carrying on tho Gol vernment. If further taxation becomes necessary, I should support the Property Tax, exempting machinery and agricultural implements in use, and the present exemption cf £500, and an Income Tax on incomes above a reasonable amount. These taxes should be so arranged as to ensure the burden being borne by all of us proportionally to our means. I am in favor of Free State Education, but under tho present financial difficulties of the colony the expenditure is more than wo can afford. This should for a time be reduced consistently with not destroying the system itself. When the finances of tho colony are again satisfactory I should suppoit an increased sum being placed on the Estimates. I should support any measure having for its object tha introduction into the colony of small capitalist farmers, and their occupation upon favorable terms of the waste lapds of tho colony, and every measure which will enable persons to become bond fide settlers of small blocks of land on reasonable terms. lam in favor of taxing native lands. Tho colony incurs a "largo expenditure, specially applicable to natives and native land, and I think they and their lands ought to b=ar a portion of the taxation. I am a strong advocate for local industries Bach as the proposed woollen factory. Every effort must be made to keep within the colony the industrial population, which, unfor - unately, has been tor some time past leaving us. I think that by economy, by encouraging and promoting local industries, and by the development of the resources of tho colony, wo shall soon overcome our difficulties. Local industries cannot grow np or our re=ources bo developed without both capital and labour, and care must be taken that both are encouraged. I should strive to obtain for this city and the adjoining districts a larger share of public money than they have received in the past. I consider tha completion of the West Coast Railway an essential to the welfare of this city, and would do my utmost to further any legislation to that end, as also to obtain for the Harbour Board endowments. There are other subjects of importance requiring legislation, which I will refer to when I address you personally. If elected, I shall endeavour to do my duty aa your representative. I have no grievances to redress and no personal end to servp. I will address you personally at an early date. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, E. STAFFORD.
