The Act will enable non-ratepayers to vote and elect nonratepayers to County Councils, overwhelming the ratepayers in many of the Counties in the Auckland Province. Non-ratepayers will be able to fix the rates which ratepayers must pay and spend the money ratepayers must find. Counties are to become the happy hunting ground of the political carpet bagger and the last restraint upon soaring rates will go since the nonratepayers will call the tune. No justification existed for rating landholders for the upkeep of a National Health service any more than it would for the upkeep of the National Postal Service. This Act destroys the last vestige of justification for rating land for roading upkeep when it destroys the right of the ratepayer to control the expenditure of the money he pays. Total derating of land for hospital and roading upkeep is not pow merely a matter of justice, it becomes the farmer’s vital safeguard, without it he will be defenceless. We call upon all councillors to take action to bring about this reform. Are they prepared to act as our County Executives in this fight for justice, or do they intend to supinely act as Executors for the Government in the liquidation of their fellow farmers ?
