Electoral Notices TO THE ELECTORS OF THE HUTT ELECTORAL DISTRICT. Gentlemen,—l have the honor to state that I intend offering myself as a candidate for the representation of the Hutt Electoral District, which ia now rendered vacant in the Parliament by the elevation of Sir William Fitzherbert, K.C.M.G., to the Speakership of the Legislative Council. In thus soliciting your suffrages, I am not unmindful that I have hitherto been necessarily debarred from actively taking part in politics, but I am induced to hope that my continual residence of seventeen years in this district, and my career during that period as a public servant of the province, will in some degree compensate for this want of ‘ active political experience ; and I beg leave to assure yon that if I am so fortunate as to be returned by you to fill the seat in Parliament now at your disposal, my whole time and services shall he devoted to the observance and performance of the duties of the office. I am in favor - of any policy that will cause wealth to bear its fair share of the cost of the Government, and to this end I am of opinion that a property and income tax—exempting incomes falling below a certain amount —is the only measure which can succeed in making the incidence of taxation fall fairly upon the classes of the community ; and that therefore snob a tax ought to replace the Customs duties which are at present imposed ou the necessaries of life. This measure, I believe, would relievo the less wealthy classes of the country. from a burden which undoubtedly at present falls disproportionately greatest upon them. The unfinished condition of the public works, especially of those in progress in the North Island, renders'it, in my opinion, a matter of urgent necessity that further loans should be at once negotiated in the London money market. I shall support measures to this effect. I look upon the connection by railway between the West Coast and this important district as a matter requiring further serious consideration, more especially as the fact is patent that a practical road is already nearly formed through the intended route. At the same time I cannot refrain from remarking that I believe that if the North Island had received its fair share of former loans ; if, in point of fact, the railways and trunk roads of this Island had been pushed on with the vigor and corresponding amount of expenditure which has been the case for those of the South Island, the present threatening aspect in native affairs would in all probability have been obviated, for I consider the true settlement of the native difficulty in this Island to be in the completion of the public works ; and I will therefore endeavor to secure for these works as large a share as possible of future loans. I am also in favor of retrenchment, as far as is compatible with efficiency, in all the branches of administrative departments ; the" expenditure in some of these I believe to have grown in late years beyond any necessity. I shall also be a sedulous advocate for. the strictest economy being observed in all other Government expenditures. The above are broadly the principal political views. that I entertain ; but I will take an early opportunity of meeting you in public, and then farther explaining my views on other less important subjects which are likely to engage attention in the coming session of Parliament. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HEM BY JACKSON. The Hutt, 14th June, 1879. fJIO THE ELECTORS OF THE HUTT. Gentlemen, —In compliance with the wishes of my friends I beg to offer myself as a Candidate for the ’Vacant Seat in Parliament as your Representative.: ' '■ Believing that the prosecution of the Public Works with vigor is essential to the progress of the Colony, I would urge the necessity of obtaining a.loan for that purpose, and as the settlement of the Crown Lands more rapidly is also requisite that the facilities for its occupation on deferred payments should’ be increased. The native question requires careful consideration, with a view to the permanent solution of the difficulty. With regard to the incidence of taxation I consider that not only land but other property also should bear a fair portion of the burdens. On these and other subjects I hope to;be able to address you at an early date. Yours faithfully, THOMAS MASON. Taita, 16th June, 1879.
