RANGITIKEI ELECTORATE. ~

o . TO THE ELECTORS. ABIES AND GENTLEMEN I desire to respectfully intimate to the Electors of Rangitikei that I shall be a Candidate for the Rangitikei Seat at the next Election against all comers. In opposition to Mr. Joblin—whose advanced and radical views find a solace in giving a nominal adherence to Mr. Massey—l desire to say that I shall be found in opposition to the policy of the present National Government —a position, I submit, that is quite compatible with an earnest desire to ally myself with a true “Win the War Policy” or Government, I make this pronouncement deliberately, claiming as I do that the present Government is not a true National Government, but a Government in sympathy with vested interests. Mr. Joblin claims to be an advanced Radical, a Nationalist, and a Masseyite all in one. His support of the National Government, and Mr. Massey in particular, is based on the hypothesis that they will both be found in office after the next General Election. I oppose the policy of the National Government on the following grounds:— I: —They have failed to place the financial burden of the war equitably upon the shoulders of the Taxpayer in proportion to his financial responsibility, :i. —They have freed great accumulations of wealth fronyinccmc tax, at a critical period in our history, when 4.1 ~ i i

the responsibilities of wealth were never greater. 3. —They have shown ineptitude in not evolving and pursuing a more.vigorous policy of subdivision of Dairy, Bush, and Native Lands, preparatory to and in anticipation of an early Peace. 4. —They have displayed a lamentable inadequacy in dealing vigorously with the repatriation of our returned men. 5. —They have failed to deal effectively with the cost of living—have frustrated the efforts of the Board of Trade, and allowed serious profiteering. * 6. —They will, as a result of pursuing a weak policy of land subdivision, undeniably place heavier National financial burdens on the people in the future. While claiming to be as patriotic as Mr. Joblin, I deprecate the clap-trap “Win the War” cry, that is undoubtedly advanced to cloak the sins of omission and commission of the National Government. . I shall deal with other important matters later and particularly advance sound argument and facts that “Masseyism” does not always redound to the benefit of the small farmer, a man in the community whom we cannot assist too much. If elected, I shall be found supporting a party that will fearlessly, and certainly more equitably, do its duty to every section of the community, while expecting at the hands of the people complete service at a time of National peril My thirty years’ farming connection with different parts of the Electorate and a thorough knowledge of the outlying portions, together with a long public record, should to some extent commend my candidature to the Electors. Yours respectfully, C. H. BURNETT.
