Reckless extravagance in administration, criminal waste of public money in uncalled for public works of a political- uid sectional character, and inexplicable neglect of} land settlement and agricultural development arc plainly the causes of the existing position,' remarks the Auckland "Herald." All through the prosperous year it was declaimed from every Government platform that prosperity was due not to hiyli prices and to increasing production, but to the unprecedently good administration with which the country was blessed.
