"PROFITLESS PROSPERITY"
"We are living in a profitless prosperity," asserted Mrs. Knox feilmer. Liberal candidate for Wellingtori North, at her meeting in the Methodist Hail,, Molesworth Street, last night. -. "You are allowed to earn higher wages only to have them taken away from-you 'in more expensive food, clothing, and luxuries and higher taxation." ' A voice: We can afford them now, Mrs. Gilmer: Is your surplus ahy more than before your wages went up? No. It is the old story of the dog frying to catch his tail, round and round the mulberry bush. You will never catch up with it either, as things are.
