THE POOR AND THE RICH
MR SEMPLE’S PHILOSOPHY. “There should be no poor in New Zelaand, and there should be no men living on thousands of pounds they have never earned,” said the Minister for Public Works, Mr R. Semple, in an address to workmen at Claverley, on the South Island Main Trunk last week. Mr Semple asserted that if the Labour Government was in power Jong enough, the man who was a parasite, living cn other people and not on the results of his own toil, would be “as extinct as the dodo.” He had nothing but comtempt fcr the man who sat on the top oif a so-called society and thrived on the toil of others.
