ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES.
The sooner an Electoral Commission is set up and given instructions to use • common-sense in adjusting the •■boundaries of the various electorates in New Zealand, the better the people will like it. The electorates, as at present constituted, are an incongruity. There is neither rhyme or reason about them, and as for community of interest, there is none. The idea of leaving a portion of the Masterton borough in the Wairarapa electorate, and what is really a suburb of Pahiatua in the 'Masterton electorate, is grotesquely absurd. The Boundaries Commission, iu its last attempt to equalise matters, made an unholy mess of ■things; and the sooner it is set to work to rectify its blunders, the better for the Dominion. Is it too late to ask the present Parliament to express an opinion upon this question ?
