Tho Lanoo has this opinion of the Land Commission : —The Land Commission costs £SOO a week. It is finding out what everybody knew before, namely, that as long as the earth ondureth, day and night, 3oed’time and harvest, shall not cease, and that the man who occupies land wants the freehold, and the man who doesn’t own any land and hasn’t got grit enough to get j any, is “ dead agin ” anybody else owning any. It is a preposterous anomaly tbat in a country like New Zealand, which boasts of oheap money as one of the blessings of its public policy, usury is quite as rampant as in other countries that are not democratically govorned. The man or woman who can offer freehold seourity for a loan can borrow money from tho Government, whioh is the people, at 4J per cent., while the poor dovil who has only his household furniture to offor as security is still at the mercy of the professional usurer, and is compelled to pay twenty per cent, or more. —Observer.
