SEVENTEEN!
The Government, in its wisdom, a few .years back gave Crown tenants the right of paying off 90 per cent. of the value of their 'holdings, and of remaining Orowni tenants. A return just published shows thatsev-' enteen selectors have availed themselves of this privilege. Yes, /seventeen out of over five: thousand! When the provision was inserted, its absvrdity was remarked by every person who had a knowledge of the land question. The Crown tenants want the whole or nothing. They desire the absolute fee simple of their estates, or to remain as they are. To have ninety per cent, of ownership and ten per cent, of State landlordism is worse than useless.
