ESSE QUAM VIDERE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Monday's Herald informed its readers that our legislators had increased their " dole" to the aggregate amount of nearly £9000 per annum. Tuesday's issue intimated the starting of a creamery at Onewhero. at which event it was stated that a sum of £300 to £400 would make serviceable roads to the district. A gentleman present promised to inform Mr. Ballance of the matter, as the Premier took a lively interest in the locality and in the people across the river. Mr. Ballance;, however, appears to take a more practical and abiding interest in his supporters, to whom he gives tangible but unattachuble reward; his " friends across the river" he nolishes off with sickly senti- * ment, and yet these latter are the people who toil for the money to pay the puppets who dance to the piping of the Ministerial musicians. Pioneers are infinitely more beneficial to the colony than professional politicians, consequently they merit first consideration.— lam, etc., Rookiticoo.
