THE WAIRARAPA ELECTION, ITR BEETHAM invites the Electors to meet him at the Town Hall, MASTERTON on Monday, August 18, at 8 p.m. At the Pub'ic Hall, CARTERTON, on Tuesday, August 19th, at 8 p.m. At the Town Hall, GREYTOWN. on Wednesday, August 20, at 8 p.m, At the Odd Fellows' Hall, FEATHER. STOW, on Thursday, August 21, at 8 p.m. mO THE ELECTORS OP WAIRARAPA. GentlkmknI again present myself before you as a candidate for your suffrages. I have now had the honor of j representing you in Parliament for nearly three years, during which period I have, I believe, never lost an opportunity of conserving your interests, and have always endeavored to procure for your important district a fair share of the funds available for expenditure on Public Works. My previously formed opinions relating to Sir George Grey ara now thoroughly endorsed by large majorities of both branches of the Legislature. The maladministration of the present Government in nearly all branches of the public service has seriously affected the progress and well-being of the Colony. The question of the settlement of a population on our Waste Lands lias not as yet, in my opinion, received the attention its importance demands. A liberal extension of a defoired payment system is, I consider, the best method to encourage the settlement of an industrial population. The present circumstances of the colony do not warrant a continuation of Free Immigration, but I am prepared tosupport a liberal system of Nomination. . A Property and Income Tax would, Ibe lieve, be the fairest system that could be adopted to ensure that all classes of the community should bear a just share of the burdens of the Colony. The repeal of the import duty on Timber a nd Grain was a grave error. In some districts of the colony the effect has been most disastrous. An Electoral Bill similar in character to that withdrawn by the Government during the session of 1878, would meet with my cordi,\l support. Fencing and Drainage arc subjects of great importance to this district, Further.legislation on these questions has become a necessity. The Counties Act will require many important amendments. The Rabbit Nuisance Act also will require careful amendment by the new Parliament. The system of personal Government that has been established in the Native Department is eminently unsatisfactory, I believe that the time has arrived when the Natives should be treated as reasonable beings, and not in an exceptional and unjust manner. While the colony, as at present, is able to borrow on favorable terms, I am convinced that it is a judicious policy to laise loans for expenditure on reproductive works. I shall endeavor to meet you as soon as possible in the various centres of population. 1 shall then have the honor to address you more fully on all matters of local and general import. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 225 GEORGE BEETHAM.
