A WORKMAN’S OPINION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I was very interested in the opinion expressed by “ Beware ” in last night’s issue. I have for a long while been thinking along the same line or thought. If guaranteed prices and the other lavish promises that are being made by certain of the candidates for parliamentary honours are all put into practice the inevitable result must be a considerable increase in the cost of living. Tho people who would feel the pinch most would bo those who are in receipt of fixed allowances —a great number of superannuated people, for instance, whoso incomes range from £2 to £3 a week. These people would have no redress, and would have to struggle on as best they could. I do not think it is a wise thing to support men who are on an experimenting tour. I prefer to stand by those who are past the experimenting stage and are dealing out fair and square to all, without class distinction.—l am, etc., Workman. November 21.
