Comparisons are said to be odious, As a figure of speech it is, doubtless, correct in many cases. That, however, they are often unfavourable is certainly correct in numerous instances. The action of certain North Marlborough sheepfarmers compared with other large landholders is a case in point. Here, those who are designated ‘ the large sheep farmers' have never offered the slightest obstacle in the acquisition of public roads. On the contrary they have assisted in so doing by all the means in their power, sometimes to their inconvenience, aiding the local body to straighten roads, even though it led to the station homestead being removed from proximity to the public highway. And as for asking for compensation, why the idea was never for one moment entertained, at all events never publicly advanced. The Awatere sheep farmers who are opposing the promotion of public interests might well take example by their confreres of Kaikoura.
