THE ABOLITION QUESTION.
To the Editor Sir, —The people of Dunedin do not look ahead or they would be concerned about the amount .ml fairness of the taxation that must shortly follow in order to provide the inter- st on the mitlionsof borrowed money. If I’r -vincial Councils, allowing for the imperfections that all human institutions axe liable to, have in their working shown a balance of much good surely the time for abolition is not now that the important question of “ who's to pay the piper?” is to be dealt with in the shape of providing interest on the money expended, f-hr.uld the Government carry the Abolition Bill, I think it will result in arousing the now apathetic people until separation of Government be b>ought about, and the Middle Island bo an independent Government. It is well known that New South Wales and Victoria have got on better under separate Go vernments, and the North and Middle Islands of New Zealand, 1 contend, would be more advantageously governed under a separate and independent rltyime —l am, &c., Hopeeul, Dunedin, August 10.
