The Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1906. THE TASMANIAN PREMIER.
Mr Evans, Premier of Tasmania, speaking at a banquet in his honour at the Hutt the other evening expressed appreciation ‘ ‘ of the evidences of prosperity he had seen since his arrival in New Zealand. He hoped, after what he had learned here, to institute a policy in Tasmania of repurchasing some large estates for closer settlement. There eleven men owned half the island,” We still have a few Fat land owners in this colony we might remind him, who are retarding progress and close settlement and others again whose greed prompts them to ‘ * mop up ’ ’ all the land they can lay hands on and wax fat on the unearned increment fostered by other people’s industry. Still it is pleasing to note that we are in a more prosperous condition than Tasmania. The latter colony has a brignt future before it provided that its Government could carry out a graduated land tax, restriction of area and help settlers on the land.
