BACK TO THE LAND.
There is no room for a privileged class in the Dominion, and certainly State servants who have rati red should have no exceptional advantages over the ordinary individual who has had a greater struggle to survive than the person the Government is taking so much caro of. We feel for the Civil servants whose services have been dispensed with, says the North Otago "Times," but that sympathy does not overshadow the fact that there are others who stand more in need of the practical sympathy that is a material help in time of trouble. It is not unlikely that the Government's misplaced sympathy will be wasted on retrenched Civil servants, for few of them will take advantage of the offer that has been specially made to suit them, and that those more entitled to it are shut out from participating in.
