RAILWAY EXPENDITURE.
A truly national Administration would consider the beneficient results upon the national prosperity of set tling tens of thousands of families upon the land, of increasing the value of agricultural produce by millions annually, of providing permanently for double the existing population, and of building prosperous towns and cities upon the sound basis of land settlement. But the present Government of this Dominion, remarks the Auckland "Herald," only sees that this national policy would transfer railway expenditure from the South to the North, from where it does not pay to where it would pay; and the Prime Minister tells us that we are worse than ungrateful when we complain of unfair treatment.
