THE MANAWATU RAILWAY.
It is obvious that the Manawatu line has been fed for a long time past by State expenditure on other means of internal communication. The prcfits secured by the company in the past have been possible chiefly because roads and railways paid for with public money have supplemented the facilities it has afforded to tran sit and trade. The time has now come, remarks the "Auckland Star," for the State to reap the benefit of the company's progress in this particular, and the acquirement of the Manawatu linj by the Government has therefore become a puHic necessity.
