“HIGH NABOBS” EXEMPT

ONE-MAN-ONE-JOB RULE

MR DOIDOE’S CRITICISM

GOVERNMENT CHAI:-

LENGED

(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, last night

A challenge to the Government to call upon the Hon. H. R. Cl. Mason, Hon. F. E. Lark and Hon. B. Marlin to resign the positions they occupy in addition to those in Parliament was made by Mr. F. W. Doidgo, National Party candidate, in the Mamikon byelection at a meeting to-night.

**l suggest that the Goveinmont. has been guilty of hypocrisy, unless it takes a definite course of action, said Mr. Doidgo.

“Trades unions, such as the Plumbers and Carpenters’ Unions, have been warned of dire penalties for the same reason,” he continued, “but the pontiffs of the party, the high nabobs and poohbahs can do as they like. If the Government is to prove its sincerity, then it should call upon Messrs. Mason, Lark and Martin to. resign these extra jobs and, if they don’t then they should be called upon to resign from the party.

“I maintain,” added Mr. Doidgo, “that the Government cannot run away from the issue, otherwise they will 'stand indicated on a charge they have made for themselves.”
