BAY OF PLENTY SEAT
Hit Tv. S. WILLIAMS OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN
GISBORNE, Sept. 24. Mr E. S. Williams, in opening his campaign in the Government interest “for the Bay of Plenty seat at Kaiteratalii, said the fact of the trouble over the early closing of the rolls showed how little public men on both sides of politics knew of the lack of communications in the electorate. He knew that heavy taxation years had come, and held that those who were able to pay -should carry their full proportion of the burden. There were many urgent State needs, but reafforestation did not loom large enough in the State’s programme. He said he was a strong supporter of closer’settlement, and members of bis family had offered their properties on the East Coast t 0 the- Government. His motto in life always had been to help the next man, and his family had done all they could to settle natives on the East Coast and train them as agriculturists. He had always been on good terms 'with labour, and, as in the past, he would support Labour getting n fair deal.
A vote of thanks and confidence in Mr Williams was passed unanimously.
