In the position in which he is placed, Sir Joseph Ward is bound to collect from the people of the colony all the money the railways cost, in- j eluding the interest on the money I borrowed to build and equip them, and it is no real boon to the community to collect only part of this cost by way t of passenger fares and freight charges and the balance Jby j taxation. It is mueh more business- ; like, and also more equitable, to con- j duct the railways in such a manner j that they will produce sufficient revenue to meet their expenditure states the "Southland Times."
