STATE ENTERPRISE AND OWNERSHIP.
We have become used to the idea of the State, as a coal-dealer, and are gradually accustoming ourselves to the State acting as an oyster-seller, and Mr Tanner, Government candidate for Avon, evidently thinks it time we had a further instalment of State enterprise and ownership. He says that there is no reason why the Government should not do with meat as it has done with coal. If the idea were adopted, some positions would no doubt be found for some candidates for which they are better adapted than tor political life, and if the pay was as good, probably most of them would as soon become members of the new regiment of the army of State employees as members of the House.
