CROWN TENANTS
NOT DOWNHEARTED IN S. I
THE HON. RANSOM’S OPINION
fPer Pres* Association — Copyright.)
WELLINGTON, August 21
The Minister of Lands, Mr Ransom, has returned to Wellington from an extended tour of the South Island. “The settler is in great heart,” said Mr Ransom to-day, “ and is cheerfully facing his difficulties. I noticed a big improvement in the general condition of the farmer since last I was in the South island, and I was seeing the worst cases.”
Mr Ransom said that although the Crown tenants were naturally, still up against it, they were by no means, downhearted, and were making honest endeavours to meet their liabilities. The cases in which there was a deliberate attempt t 0 evade the payment of rent were few and far between. Crown tenants without exception spoke very appreciably of assistance they received from the Government, and also joined in paying a tribute to the work of the Crown Land Commissioners. There was general agreement that the officers were doing their work efficiently and sympathetically.
