RIPE FOR REFORM
MR. HOGG'S VIEWS. by Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Mr. A. W. Hogg, M. P.- for Mastcrton, and ex-Minister for Labor, addressed a crowded public meeting to-night. In the course of his speech he said it was only owing to the monstrously unjust laws of this country that land' was not properly distributed. The King Country, which the Government allowed to go to waste, could accommodate tens of thousands. He advocated higher wages end better conditions for labor. ■' He liclievqd a .State Bank would ultimately be insisted upon. For the Inst twelve months New Zealand had been in the grasp of money-lenders, who had been hauling in tlieir harvest. No country was so ripe for reform as New Zealand, and he declared we were on the threshold of momentous reform.
