People's Political Association.
I TO THE EDITOR. Srit, — " Sagittarius," a correspondent : of the Lyitelton Times, makes some very useful renmrks about the work which the 1 People's Political Association can do, and lam entirely in accord with him, but I think that the Political Association might well adopt a more concise platform than it has, or even than the shorter one which "Sagittarius" gives. I suggest — 1. A land tax, as the only tenure by which land can be held in New Zealand. 2. A National Bank, which alone shall have power to issue notes. 3. Baiiwaya to be managed on Post Office principles. 4. Boards of Arbitration or Conciliation. Let all other questions be subsidiary, but make the above absolutely imperative, for, if they are carried, all questions of mere Bocial interest can be well left to each individual, if only he pledpes himself to strictly adhere to the above platform. I am convinced that by confining the platform to the above four cardinal points, people will be able to comprehend them, and if they are carried all other questions c>m bo fought out afterwards ; but let these be the questions, for on them re3ts the future of the people of New Zealand. — I am, &c, AN ELECTOR.
