SOLDIER SETTLEMENTS.
EASING CONDITIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Minister of Land states f-hat he has given definite instructions to have certain matters brought before the Land Board at the next meeting to deal with questions raised by the Kopane soldier settlers. He had submitted to him a statement showing the position of these settlers, which give him the greatest satisfaction. Regarding the suggestion that jthe Government should capitalise the rent for the first year or two, instead! of demanding payment at once, the Min- j ister says the land boards have power to postpone the first, second and third years' rent in cases where the circumstances demanded postponement. At the end of this period there were three, courses that may be taken —first, the postponed rent may be Bpread over a period from two to five years, and repaid in instalments; second, it may be capitalised and added to the capital value of the lund on which the rent is assessed; third, in extreme cases it may be remitted altogether.
