FARMERS CONCERNED
"NEED FOR URGENT ACTION"
GOVERNMENT CRITICISED
(Special to "The Evening Post.")
PALMERSTON 2f., This Day.
Between 70 and 80 farmers at a meeting at Rangiotu last evening had Mr. J. Linklater, M.P., metaphorically "on the mat." They expressed concern that Parliament should have thought fit to adjourn without having solved "the desperate position in which the primary producer was finding himsel£." Several speakers stressed the need for urgent action by the Government, and after three hours' general discussion resolutions were carried favouring reduction in land mortgage interest, the introduction of a system of land valuation on a production basis at'a price level to be arrived at the establishment of an equalisation fund, the suspension of rate collection -until Parliament reassembles, and the appointment of a commission to report on all cases whero notices of eviction had been served.
