AXIOMS OF FINANCE.
The Government have not yet mastered the simplest axioms of finance, for they give no signs of realising that what is wanted is increased settlement, increased production, and increased population, says the "New Zealand Herald." With settlement vigorously pushed, I with production encouraged, and with an industrious population increasing inconsequence, the revenues would he bound to respond. As long as northern lands are locked up and public money wasted on southern railways, while the North is refused the most essential developmental lines, the Treasurer will have to be content with what he can squeeze from the public by excessive taxation, and will have to be jubilant over very paltry and insignificant increases in public revenue.
