POLICY OF THE NEW VICTORIAN MINISTRY
Mblboubke July 14. At Lanosfield last night Sir Bryan O’Loghlen addressed a large meeting of electors of the district. In the course of his speech the Premier expounded the policy that the new Ministry proposed to adopt. He regretted that any remission of taxation at the present time was impossible. Government, he said, proposed during the forthcoming session to readjust the land tax with a view to include city property. He announced that Parliament would be asked to authorise a new loan of £4,000,000 for public works at an early date, that it was intended to extend the area of land which selectors were permitted to hold, and that a Royal Commission would be appointed to inquire into the working of the Education Act, With regard to the tariff, Sir Bryan gave his pledge that the principles on which it was based would not be touched, and in eouclusion said thatthe watchwords of his party were “ peace” and “ progress.”
Mr Reid has announced his intention of opposing Sir Bryan’s re-election.
