# hr as well ns to seardi for oil. It seems to us that the wisest police for this Government to pursue ( would be to enter into binding agreements, wherever possible, with dependable motor services acting as feeders of, or extensions to, the railway services. Competition should be confined to as narrow limits as possible. Even so, the Railway Department must meet the competition of what may be termed parallel services, and it is difficult to see how any profit can lie made on these. The one crumb of comfort to the taxpayer in all this, is, that while he will be making good the losses on the railways, and while he is providing perfect roads on which private enterprise may compete with the State services, he will have the lienefit of extraordinarily cheap and comfortable travelling. That the Railway Department must fight for its own hand goes without saying, ns it .has some sixty or seventy millions of capital locked up, and the people of New Zealand have no intention of allowing this great railway organisation to be sacrificed without a struggle.—“Lyttelton Times.”
