Electoral Notices rjpo THE ELECTOES OF WAIEAEAPA Gentlemen, —I have already published a preliminary address in. the Wairarapa papers expressing my intention of coming forward to solicit your suffrages. Such notice was necessary, because I declined to receive a requisition, feeling that such a course was opposed to the fundamental principles of the ballot. : I now, gentlemen, wish briefly to, place before you my views on a few subjects of importance that are likely to engage the attention of Parliament during the ensuing session. The County system is, I consider, a good substitute for Provincialism, and with the necessary amendments will he a measure- advantageous to the colony as a whole. .. . The management of Native affairs is a subject of much importance, the Government having drafted a Bill to enable the natives to dispose of their lands to private purchasers. This question will have my earnest consideration, to prevent -asjfar as possible the native lands from passing into the hands of mere speculators, and at the same time to ensure the natives equal rights and responsibilities with Europeans. - I think it unnecessary to touch on the subject of Education, as my views _ have been frequently expressed at the meetings of tha Board at Wellington, where I have always advocated a purely secular syatetm In the present financial position of the colony, should additional taxat.o.r be found necessary, I would be prepared to advocate its imposition in a more direct form by means of a Property and Income Tax. Although in favor of affording facilities _ for nominated and assisted immigrants, I believe that‘the circumstances of the colony no longer warrant the expenditure of large sums for free immigration. ,T shall always support, to its utmost limits, the extension of the Deferred . Payments system of the sale of Crown Lands, of course limiting its operation so that it only facilitate actual settlement or improvement of the land so acquired. 1 I have for some years past taken the deepest interest in the question of Eailway Communication with this district, and shall lose no opportunity in pushing its extension to a successful issue. I shall, as so:n as possible, meet you in ! your various districts, and will _ address you .more fully on all subjects of political and local import. I am, Gentlemen, •’ ;t • Yours faithfully, GEOEGE BEETHAM.
