AUCKLAND WEST

Mr. Adeane affirms that the welfare of the people of New Zealand is best maintained by progressive legislation as provided by the Reform Government. He stands for peace, both national and industrial, for fostering trade within the Empire, and for infant welfare by increased State aid for the Plunket Society and the St. Helens Hospitals. Other planks in Mr. Adeane’s platform are the freehold, to make it possible for every man to own liis own home or farm, daylight saving, and reduced taxation, particularly by means of reduced customs duties on the everyday needs of the people.

Mr. Speirs stands fixedly for the people’s rights; for the abolition of Government by Regulation and Order-in-Couneil; for a systematic revaluation of all lands in this Dominion with a view to writing down our over-valued assets and bringing about a more equitable distribution of taxation, based on the true values of the land. He will support any meaisure that has for its object the betterment of the social, industrial, and commercial conditions of the people of this country.
