THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
HIGHWAYS FINANCE.
As for .taxation of petrol and reading finance, the Government’s contention is sound that in the national interests legislation governing highways policy should be subject to revision. Especially in such a matter as this, where tiie conditions are new and changing, and the community must necessarily feel its way by means of experience, it would be absurd Wcontend that aL policy once adopted must not be at-T tered The Prime Minister thinks that the whole position of the Highways Board should be examined, and ha proposes that this be done next session by a Parliamentary Committee. Thei h can surely be no ■ objection to this; it is no reflection on an institution recently set up' to deal with a. new problem that it should be considered to be in need of inspection, The only regret is that the operation will be postponed for a year. —Auckland Star.
