The CHIEF PLANKS IN MY PLATFOR' CHIEF PLANKS" IN~- MY PLATFORJ CHIEf PLANKS IN.MY VLATIfORJ are as follow:— . . I WILL PROMOTE AND SUPPOR' any PROGRESSIVE : LEGISLATIOI which is for the good, of THE PEOPLE irrespective of' Party, Class, or Creed. The recent epidemic demonstrated th inadequacy of the Health Department 0 the Central Government of the Doininioi ] therefore advocate thorough reorganiso (ion and increase of Hint Department. In Wellington the deadline'ss of the op: domic was, in-my Opinion, greatly in tonsiiied by four and.uncertain comli liens in the..supply of milk to Hie city I therefore, if elected, will move to pre duce u better understanding between th Central Government and inuiiicipalitiK and to prevent such operations by th Wellington City Council as have frustrat ed my ell'orts to regularly provide' a: ample supply of pure, milk for the city The irregularity, insufficiency, am costliness, of the supply of coaPto- Wei linglon demand immediate remedies, will, therefore, advocate an increase 0 State coal inines, carriage and the regu lntion of charges (from the, mines to th homes of the people) by the Government rind,regularity of supply. * I, if elected, will invoke the powers 0 Parliament to compel the Government t speedily supply an ample quantity of fis] at moderate'prices to the people. I hold that-the-war of nations I which recently for more than four year our Dominion was involved has exaltei such problems as the natural doiunnd fo equality of sacrifice, the standards of th cost of living, and equitable opportun ltios for the development and uliiisatioi oi the best -potentialities of evfciy per son, and J, as 0110 who, bv persona experience as the father of a "largo fani iiy, has learnt the: importance 0 those problems and' the need, ther is for a proper ■ adjustment be tween profits, rates of wages and sal apes, will, if elected, 'work to ensure jus rice to all classes. During the war, whil some of our citizens wore. losini money,- some their limb, others thci •health, and, others their lives, som ivcro .reaping large profits am accumulating wealth. If you 'elect me will work to the utmost to- enable suffer ers to regain what they have lost; caiis exploiters to balance, through taxation their undue gnins; and provide feral kinds of workers suitable' employment a fair rates of wages. I will also 'aso in- ■ powers to provide that, when tho'timi conies for us to.pay tho interest on tin enormous leans,that havo ben raised fo tho purposes of the war, the 'burden 0 taxation .shall bo proportioned to tin abilities of tho Classes (required to pay. To improve house, accommodation am supply homo needs-which- the rcccn epidemic intensely emphasised, I woui< advocate the building .of houses by tin Government, the extension of tramways' or tho construction of light-line railways and the investment of Government Sav ings Bank moneys at moderate rates'. 0 interest. I hold also ; that Stato bankini might safely be ■■considerably extendet for such purposes. My views on several of the great socia questions that (ire engaging tho attehtipi of. the electors are too well known ti need restatement. I' say, however ,'tha if more than two questions 011 the liquoi business bo submitted on a ballot papei I shall support voting in tho jorder 0: preference. As one of the principal articles of 1113 political belief is that in such a community as. ours every person able and wiliin; to work is naturally entitled to suitubli employment, at fair rates of pay, 1, i; elected, will plead for- a liberal vote foi such education as may 'bo necessary t< enable men who have' by tho war beer unfitted tor" their previous occupations t( eairn 'livelihoods becoming men who hav< merited the everlasting gratitudo anc honour of their State.■' ... I advocate free, secular, and, compulsory education for nil classes of tin people, according (0 their needs and opportunities, I shall advocate a proper adjustment between rates of pay and cost of living, and shall plead that my recant action, at the time of the dispute between tlu tramway employees and (he City Council, indicates that, regardless of consequences to myself, I shall advocate justice to all classes, I will advocate a readjustment oi tariffs to meet the rcquiro'iictits of farmers, industrialists, and all other classes of the community. I will advocate the utilisation of wntei for producing electric power, and will support: measures for aerial up-to-date locomotion. I shall advocate suitable employment for all returned soldiers, and'liberal pensions for them, and for the Widows, children, and other dependants of those that fell in tho recent war.
