i TO THE PALMERSTON | ELECTORS. ; GENTLEMEN— I have already [\\J aunounctd that I bhall be a 1 1 candidate lor your suffrages at the , j coming- election. I will lay my po- ■ j litical vi-ws befor you at an early ; , date, but meantime give a short I , sk«tcli of; them here. j Taxation. — I h.tve a 1 ways he'd j . Fr eirade viev^s, but reco nitse tbo j , channel of th^ Cv toms as tho easi so I ; aud cheaptsi mode > f collecting- somo ! 1 of tbo ueeecsaay revenue for carrying j on the Stato The necessaries of life ' '. should be relieved of as much taxation os possible I have always moved in this direction. In 1888 j when the Government, with the as- < sistance of Mr Ballanoe and the Opposition, placed further taxation upon necessaries 1 voted against them. Whenever the reve-mie shows a surp'us over expenditure, I would lighten taxation on necessaries, and leave the luxuries of life to pay their full burden. In order to make the wealthy contribute more to the revenue, I believe in direct taxation, but prefer the property tax to a land and income tax, believing that it is fairest to charge all capital in the same way, rather than charge land ' on capital, and personalty on income, j Ido noc believe in the single or pro- ; gressive tax, as I look upon taxation i only as means of raising revenue, \ and do not think it right for the ■ State to favor a few at the expense ( of the many - as iv protective duties « — nor should it be the means of re i stiicting trade or forcing private land ' into the market. ] Absentees should, however, pay ( extra taxation, because they do not £ pay their fair share to the revenn 1 Nor do they usua'ly improve the r r [ properties ; they could always relieve t themselves of the tax by residing in the colony, and in any ca^o it w m<l r be the individual and not tlio 1. ; i 1 * which would be taxed. i Land Policy— Our laws are lib ml, but it has been shown thnt dummyism is pra ticed, and this should t>e \ made impos il'le.

The deplorable social struggle duringwhich we nre forced to look hopelessly on wi 1 result in a loss to the revenue, to capitalist and the wage-earning class, the latter of whom are the 'east able to afford it. The guidance of the State at such t a time should bo left in experienced I hands. Change is not necessarily, progress. %1 Do not swap hortos ; when crossing the slrr-nm." ' Yours Faithfully. JAS. G.
