TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE ABO DISTRICT. /~N EN TLEMEN— The Representation Act \JT having constituted Ta Aro a Beparate electorate. I have the honour to offer myaelf a3 a candidate for that District. My viewß upon pome of the most important questions are aa follows :—: — I should oppose any legislation having for its object the separation of the colony by giving separate Legislatures to the North and tonth Islands, and any attempt to 1 evert to the Provincial Bystem. 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 the Government. If further taxation becomes ntcessary, I should support the Property Tax, exempting machinery and agricultural implements in nee, and the present exemptiou of £500, and an Income Tax on incomes above a reasonable amount. These taxes fchonld be so arranged aa to ensure the burden being borne by all of ns proportionally to our means. I am in favor of Free State Education, but under the present financial difficulties of the colony the expenditure is more than we can afford. This should for a time be reduced consistently with not destroying the system itself. When the finances of the colony are again satisfactory I should suppoit an increased sum being placed on the Estimates. I should support any measure having for its object the introduction into the colony of small capitalist farmers, and their occupation upon favorable terms of the waste lands of the 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. The colony incurs a large expenditure, specially applicable to natives and native land, and I think they and their lands ought to bear a portion of the taxation. I am a strong advocate for local industries such as the proposed woollen factory. Kvery effort must be made to keep within tho colony the industrial population, which, unfor.unately, has been for some time past leaving us. I think that by economy, by encouraging and promoting looal industries, and by the development of the resources of the colony, we shall soon overcome our difficulties. Local industries cannot grow up or our resources be developed without both capital and labour, and care must be taken that both are encouraged. I should strive to obtain for thia city and the adjoining districts a larger share of public money than they have received in the past. I consider tha comple'ion of the West Coast Railway an essential to tho welfare of this city, and would do my utmost te turther any legislation to that end, aB also to obtain for the Harbour Board endowments. There are other subjects of importance requiring legislation, which I will refer to when 1 addrees you personally. If elected, 1 shall endeavour to do my duty as your representative. I have no grievances to redress and no personal end to serve. I will address you personally at an early date. I have the honour to be, Goutltjmcn, Your obedient servant, E. STAFFORD.
