TOTALISATOR FIGURES
TO THE EDITOR. ' ' ; Sir,—To-day's telegram from Auckland, in regard to the publishing ■- of lotnlisator dividends, makes one!wonder whether we are as "free" as. we would like to imagine ourselves. A man has been fined £20 on each of two charges of publishing racing dividends'. Apparently someone telegraphed the amounts to' him, and. he handed the information on to certain bookmakers. It now comes to this : If you or I, or any other person, go to ' the races to-morrow, and mark down the dividends in our racebooks, and, when we return home, hand on the information by showing, the book to some other person, we shall be offending against the laws of "this "free" country. From all appearances, the wowser has us iill "in his pocket," and it is time that the moderate^ man, who stands, as it were, between*" the extremes of both sides, voiced his opinion' in no uncertain manner in regard to tho matter.—l am, etc., MODERATION/ 31st March.
