LABOUR AND LAND.
There is a disposition among big landholders to scoff at small holdings, but we notice that Mr James Allen, when urging the completion of the Lawrence-Roxburgh Railway at the great meeting in Dunedin on Monday night, says the "Lyttelton Times," declared that ten acres of land in the Roxburgh district were sufficient to provide a man and his family with a good living, and we have little doubt that there are thousands of acres between Cnnstchurch and Rangiura and between Christchurch and South bridge which could be settled on even smaller areas with equally satisfactory results. V.'e hope that Sir Joseph WarJ and his colleagues will give their earnest attention to this cure for the evils of unemployment during the approaching session of Parliament.
