LAND SETTLEMENT IN RHODESIA.
CHARTERED COMPANY'S SCHEME. By Telegraph—Press Association—CopyriE&l. •'Times"—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables. Cape Town, December 2. The majority vote at Bulawayo that rejected tho Chartered Company's land scheme in Rhodesia has not been accepted as an authoritative verdict of the settlers, and its early reversal is expected. A meeting held at Buluwayo declined to accept the land settlement scheme proposed by the Chartered Company, because it involved tho admission that unalienated land in Southernßhodesia was Hie property of tho Chartered Company. The Chartered Company's scheme provides for a land settlement board, with compulsory powers of purchase to acquire land within twenty-live miles of a town or railway, and resell it to small settlers, making advances to help them to develop their holdings. It 'proposes to tax undevelopment lands, and earmark the tax for development purposes. Sir Leander Jameson, in a recent interview, suggested that the Administration should follow Australia's example, and provide free uassago for immigrants.
