TRADES COUNCIL ON LAND BALLOTS.
Per Press Association. Dunedin, August 16. The Otago Trades and Labor Council this evening passed the following resolution: "That this Council wishes to pointedly direct the attention of the Government to the large amount of trafficking going on in connection with blocks of laud offered for selection by the Government. Gamblers, who have j ro intention of going on the land, are j allowed to enter the ballot for no other purpose than selling nut at an increased I value, which conclusively proves that the laud is leased at too low a rental* The Council contends that only bonafide selectors should be permitted to enter the ballot, and the Government should immediately take effective steps to stop dummies from entering ballots, and that in all cases a fair rental should bo filed."
