Electoral- - mO THE ELECTORS OF THE ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF TE AROUA. Gentlemen,— s I beg most respectfully to offer myself as a Candidate for the honour of representing the newly-formed Electoral District of Tβ Aroha, in your House of Representatives. On the 15th of last April I had tlio privilege of stating my views on the leading topics of the day, at a large meeting at To Arolia, ami I afterwards forwarded a copy of the address I delivered on that occasion to every voter in the district. My political views are therefore now well known to you. , I am decidedly opposed to any addition to the financial burdens, already too great, which the country has to bear, and I .should unquestionably • vote against any further borrowing, or any ad- . ditional loans. a At the same time I consider the financial position of New Zealand, as far as its public debt is concerned, a perfectly sound ami solvent one; and there ciyinot be a more satis actoiy proof of this than the fact that it is now possible to replace the old loans as they fall due, by new ones at a much lower rate of interest. i I am in favour of the Abolition of the Property ! Tax, regarding it. as a tax which is a direct Hue on industry, thrift, and improvements, and 1 should be prepared to vote for its t-otal or gradual extinction at the lirst practicable opportunity. I consider that, much might be done in this direction by further retrenchment in the annual expenditure, and by the saving which will be effected in the way of interest, as old loans are replaced by new ones. I am in favour of a radical reform in the management of the Government Railways, so that greater facilities should be given for the transit of passengers at reasonable fares, and also for the conveyance of goods and freight at far cheaper rates than at present. The Education Vote is one which will require most careful watching, and while it in undoubtedly the duty of the State to see that every child shall receive a sound elementary education, it is not the duty of the State to do more than this, except in the ca.se of children of remarkable talent. I am a firm believer in the principles of Free 1 Trade, ami consider them essential to the progress and prosperity of a nation. The subject of Federation is one of very great t importance,and one which will require most careful consideration, and although it is highly probable that in the end it may be found desirable for New Zealand, still at present it is far the best and safest policy to avoid anything like undue or reckless haste. 1 The .Mining interests of New Zealand are most y important, and promise to bo such a .source of Y wealth to the country, that it is the duty of the Government to foster and develop them in every possible way, as, by doing bo, they will not only benefit those interested in mining, hut also those connected with Agriculture and other branches of industry. I regret that it was not in my power to address meetings in the different peaces in the district before I left for England, but X hope to have the pleasure of doing so before long. Having a large stake in tho Electoral District, my interests are the same as yours, and everything that tends to the prosperity of the district will bo a benefit to each of us alike. If you do me tho honoui to elect mo as your rtpro sentative, I intend to take up my residence at Aiinaudalo, and as a friend and neighbour 1 shall do my best to promote your local interests, and in your House of Representatives I shall also, to the best of my ability, advocate and support the policy and principles which I have laid down in this address. , I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours most sincerely, W.M. S. ALLEN. Woodhead Hall, Cheadle, Staffordshire, June C, 1590. i MR. ALLEN is now on his way out to Now Zealand, and will arrive in time toaddroi.i meetings of the electors at the different centres. Times and dates of such meetings will be duly announced. HENRY BUTTLE, Acting Agent. Corporation Notices. CITY OF AUCKLAND. FIXING LEVELS.
