ONE MAN FOR TWO FULLTIME JOBS
TO THB EDITOB OB THE DRESS. Sir, —I have no intention of carrying on a controversy on the matter of one man one job. In the first place I have no patience with anonymous correspondents, and second this is a subject where only common sense can be applied. There are one or two points in “One Man One Job’s” letter that are extremely inconsistent. “One Man One Job” seems to me to be very ignorant of the workings of public affairs. lam surprised that he has not been informed before now that the Mayor of a city receives an honorarium, not a salary, and to my knowledge most of the gentlemen who have held that high position have finished their term out of pocket. Furthermore, I have not heard of Mr S. G. Holland having to resign from his position of managing director to a Christchurch firm when he was elected to Parliament. “One Man One Job” mentions two full-time jobs. Now, neither of the jobs mentioned is full time. One occupies two or three hours a day and the other takes up three or four months of the year. He also quotes the impossibility of one man doing the two jobs properly, and then straight away admits that he does not know Mr Macfarlane. Well, thars enough said. Really, one could sit down and cover pages of foolscap with the names of men in the public life of this country who have done this same thing for years, but there has never been any exception taken to it under the Tory regime and probably “One Man One Job" has done it in the past, or is an aspirant to do so at the present time. If he would come out in the open and sign his name one would know. —Yours, etc., C. HEPBURN. September 15, 19J8. >
