TO WORKERS WITH PEN OR PICKAXE.”
(To the Editor " N.Z. Times.”) Sir, —Under the new Land Settlement l-’inance Bill companies of men can acquire laud, the Government providing the money to purchase' same. Why not get this power extended and let the Government copy the. English Small Holdings Act, which allows public bodies to acquire laud to be cut up into email holdings for jv-orkers, the English Government providing the public bodies with the money to buy. these blocks of land. , Ouir New Zealand Act offers to finance groups of men, who no doubt will be of the capitalist class, .-but if Parliament extended the right to . every borough or council in New Zealand to buy land, .and agreed to finance the same, our country would teem with small farms.—l am, etc., "ALERT.” Wellington, October 26th.
