TO THE ELECTORS OF THE TE ARO DI3TBICT. f^i ENTLEMEN— The Representation Act \JK having constituted Te Aro a separate electorate, I have 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 separation of the colony by giving separate Legislatures to the Xorth and irouth Islands, and any attempt to i evert to the Provincial system. At the same time, I think that the powera 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 necessary, I should support the Property Tax, exempting machinery and agricultural implements in use, and the present exemption of JESOO, and an Income Tax on incomes above a reasonable amount. These taxeß should be so arranged aa to ensure the burden being borne by all of us 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 support an increased sum being placed on tho Estimateß. 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 Bmall .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 boar a portion of the taxation. I am a strong advocate for local industries such aB the proposed woollen factory. Every effort must be made to keep within the" colony the industrial population, which, unfor innately, has been for some time past leaving us. I think that by economy, by encouraging and promoting local industries, and by the development of the resources of the colony, wo shall soon overcome our difficulties. Local industries cannot grow up or our repources be developed without both capital and labour, and care must be taken that both are encouraged. I should Btrive to obtain for this city and the adjoining districts a larger share of public money than they have received in the past. I consider tho 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 tho Harbour Hoard endowments. There are other subjects of importance requiring legislation, which I will refer to when 1 address you personally. If elected, I shall eudeavour 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 tho honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, E. STAFFORD.
