TO THE FALMERSTON ELECTORS. pENTLEMEN,— I have already VJ announced that I shall be a candidate for your suffrages at the coining election. I will lay my political views befor j you at an enrlr date, but meantime give a sh«rt sketch of them here. Taxation. — I have always held Fivetrade views, but recognise the channel of the Customs as the easiest And cheapest mode of collecting- some of the necessaiy revenue for carrying on the State. The necossaries of life should be relieved of as much taxation as possible I haVe always mored in this direction. In 1888 when the Government, with tho assistance of Mr Ballanie and the Opposition, placed further taxation upon j necessaries I voted against them. "Whenever the revenue shows a surp'u9 over expenditure, I would lighten taxation on necessaries, and leave the luxuries of life lo j ay their full iiunicn. Iv order to make the wealthy c utribute more to tho revenue, I believe in direct taxation, but prefer the proprrty tax to a land mml income tax, believing that it is .'fairest to charge all capita! in the same way, rather than charge land on capital, and personally on income. I do not believe in the single ov progressive tax, as I look upon taxation only as moans of raising revenue, And do not think it right for the State to favor a few at the expense <of the many - as in protective duties — nor should it be the means of re •tricting trade or forcing private land into the market. Absentees should, however, pay •extra taxation, because they do not ipay their fair share to the revenu Nor do they usually improve their properties ; they could always relieve themselves of the tax by residing in tho coloDy, and in any case it would hrn the individual and not the land which would be taxed. Land Policy— Oar laws are liberal, tbnt it has been shown that dummy3sm is practiced , and this should be made impossible. In order to hasten the settlement of the remaining p :>v* tion of our estate, money should b« specially borrowed for the purpose of speedily surveying it and opening it up sufficiently by roads before sale •harging an increased rate per acre to cover the cost. "Many new suggestions are mada at every election to urge the State onward, or for the benefit of certain sections of it ; amongst them single tax, State Bank, issue of non-in-terest bearing money by the State instead of bonds, &c. 1 am not in favour of these and similar theoreti* cal nostrums, but if I were, the jireaent is the most inopportune time possible, either to make experiments with new men or new taxation. Tha deplorable social struggle duringvfhicU we are forced to look hopelessly on wi:l result in a loss to the revenue, to capitalist and the Wage-earning claßs, the latter of whom ar« the least able to afford it. The guidance of the State at such a time should be left in experienced bands. Change is not necessarily, progress. "Do not swap horses when crossing the stream." Yours Faithfully. JAB. G. WILSON.
