The Feilding Star. TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1888. More Extravagance
No opportunity is ever lost by some sapient members of Parliament of either having a cheap pleasure trip at the expense of the colony themselves, or providing one for a friend. We learn from the N.Z Times : — " The fact that the Imperial Government has appointed one of the Inspectors of Her Majesty's schools to be a British Commissioner to the Education Court at the Melbourne Exhibition, is shortly to be brought under the notice of the Government by Mr Joyce, who is going to ask if the Government will appoint an official of our public schools as a New Zealand Commissioner to the same Court." Because a wealthy country like England can afford to do this thing, Mr Joyce wants New Zealand to emulate it, at a time when nearly every living soul in this colony who has the power of thought and speech in casting about to find means of so economising as to live within their limited incomer, owing to the excessive taxation. We hjpe the Government will not listen to such an absolutely silly proposal.
