PO THE ELECTOBS OF THE WAIHOPAI DISTBICT;- « - rtENTLMEN.— Having been requested *by a \J considerable number of electors in your district, to stand in nomination at the ensuingelection of a nienber to represent youanthe Provincial Council of Southland, I have consented to become a candidate for your suffrages.. I believe lam personally known to most of you, ' and if from what you have observed of my character and conduct in my intercourse with you, you aro convinced that 1 am possessed of the right qualifications for becomingyour representative in the Provincial Council at this important crisis in the history of the Province, and acting upon such conviction should return me as as your representative; I, for my own part, would endeavor to further your interests to the best of my ability. I deem it to be highly important that you should choose a representative whose interests are ! as far as possible identical with your own, and who [ would be likely to act independently in all matters wherein your interest and the interests of the Province are concerned. The Provincial Council of Southland, as at present constituted, does not, as you are fully aware, fairly represent the interests of the Agricultural and Commercial Classes ; and as our mutual interests are identical with these, I should in this particular he likely to carry out your views. In the old country, where there are the aceumulatet abuses of many generations which require to be removed, the watchword of all advanced theinkers and enlightened politicians is "Reform." In anew country like this, where we have as it were made a new start, and where our future advancement or retrogression as a Province depends mainly — may I not say, solely — upon whether our energies are rightly or wrong]y directed, — the watchword ought to be "Progression." I Bhall give you an opportunity at the nomination of assertaming my views on the most important questions which are likely to come before the Council, and will now merely touch upon a question which was warmly debated some time ago, viz :— Taxation upon tho " Annual Value to Let " principle, or at a fixed rate per acre. Wow in the abstract, I believe that the former principle is the correct one ; but. under existing circumstances, I am satisfied that it would be prejudicial to the general interests, of the Province, and should therefore support an acreage rate. In conclusion I may state, that I would support such measures as I thought likely to encourage the opening up of the resources of the Country by botm fide settlers. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL BEAVEN.
