NATIVE LANDS.
The absurd proposal made by Sir James Oamrol regarding the Native lands is being echoed by Mr Bornisiby and other politioianis. Mr Hornisfby states ithat, if alii the Native lands were divided up, earih iviaori, would Glaive about tibirty aores. This- statement is evidently made to creaite the ionipreisision' that their© is no monopoly Ibo European, hands? If all these were BJorn/siby not apply the same principle it© European' lands- If all these were, divided among a. million people, how much would each possess? This, of course, is beside the question. The Native lands*, ais- at present held, are a menace to the Dominion'. They are being afcwed to liiie idle, breeding onily noxious weeds, and are oontribufbinig nothing im nates and taxes. Mr HJornsby surely does not hope to ■win his way to. Parliament by defending the adiminiiistrationi of Native lands.
