RAILWAY FREIGHTS.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wangamii, Last Night. The two local papers vigorously reply to the statement of the Minister of Railways at Feilding hist night that Wangamii wanted special treatment against the rest of New Zealand in the matter of longdistance railway freight rates. The Chronicle says Wanganui never looked for any coddling from the Government, and if it did it wouldn't expect it from «in essentially South Island ministry. The Herald point* out that long-dis-tance rates affect Timaru, Napier and other towns besides Wanganui, many of which have raised strong protests, and the matter is* really a Dominion one. The Herald suggests that seemingly *ne former Labour member (Mr Millar's) reo-ard for the interests of merchants and manufacturers in the four centres leads him to favour an inequitable a»d anti-national railway policy.
