TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIAPU. T ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—' 1. Having resided for very many yeans in your district, knowing all its unbound ed resources, and its neglected require ments, I had no hesitation in at once consenting at the request of a great number of my friends to contest th-e Waiapu Electorate in opposition to tht Hon. Mr Carroll. 2. I am opposed to the present Admin istration. 3. Every Crown tenant should, in my opinion, be able at any time to acquire the freehold of his home, at tlie unim proved value of the land at the time ht took up his lease. It is grossly unjusl to subject the tenant farmers of the State to payment of periodical increase* of values of rentals or purchase monies as tlieir labors and arduous sacrifice: have created these increases. 4. The Maori Land Councils ari hopeless failures, and the lock-up of al Native lands' since 1900' has retarded, and is retarding, the progress of this dis trict. The Hon. Mr Carroll is respon sible for this policy, which, as a colonial policy has altogether failed, and which is deeply injurious to the district he repre. sents. «6. The present Administration havt shamelessly neglected the roading of tin Waiapu Electorate, and our Member ha* acquiesced in, put up with, and is responsible for that neglect. During the ten years or more of the -Seddon Administration the Waiapu Electorate has been left out of all substantial divisions of Public Works Fund for roads and bridges. The' term "The neglected North" applies with much greater force te "The neglected East." Even monies due under public statutes ar6 with-held, 01 delayed, until, when received, they are expended under the most wasteful circumstances. Main roads and bridges, which are for all time, and for Natives and Europeans alike, have to be made out of loans raised upon the security ol the lands of the pioneer settlers, while other districts have had these roads made for them. 6. A section of our Railway (Te Karaka to the Motu) ought to be put in hand at once, .and railway construction commenced at Opotiki, Tauranga, Rotorua, or Waihi, on such route as may b« determined. • 7. Special provision should be made to put working men, and small settlers, on land under the homestead and deferred payment systems, the State building houses when required. Reserves should be made for chux*ches, schools, librarieSj etc., and grants made for the erection oi these buildings. 8. The time has now arrived when we can reasonably ask for something to be done for a colonial harbor for Poverty Bay. Our exports warrant this, beinc high on the list for New Zealand, and increasing rapidly. Our Harbor Board is, no doubt, doing what it can, but it cannot make a harbor in the river, and its expenditure of loan monies on such an object should cease. 9. In view of recent events in the East every young man shiould have a naval, or land, defence training. The future of the colony depends on our ability to defend ourselves. 10. I am in favor of local option, and a free right at all times for the people to deal as they choose with liquor reform. Colonial no license, if practicable, would make New Zealand, proportionally with population, the wealthiest and fairest land on earth. 11. A3 a farmer, I represent the most important industry in the colony, rural products being our principal source of wealth;* v and I am convinced that we should make more liberal land laws, and offer every inducement to get people on the land to become producers.
