MISSING BODY RECOVERED

(By Tchgraph — Press Association.) TIMARU, Last Night. Some weeks ago two men were drowned from a motor launch at the Waihao River mouth. One body was recovered at once, but the other, that of a young .man named Duncan, was not found until yesterday. An arm and foot were found on the beach at Jacks Point, many miles north of Waihao, and the boot was identified as Duncan's.

its functions were extended. It abolished sweating, but there were new j difficulties. The monopolist was r sweating the people in other directions. Ho would abolish the Upper House altogether. Bills, after passing the third reading, should be sent to the Crown Law Office, to see if they contained legal defects. If they must have an Upper Hoiu'o, it should be elective and democratic. Referring to public works, he contended that those who benefited by the works should be taxed to provide further j works. He was pleased with uie proposed increase in the land tax. The whole social problem was wrapped round the land question. He ivii.s prepared to give the Govern"- i raent a fair run, so long as they did the right thing. MR WILSON. Mr Wilson (Taumaraunui) drew a picture of the condition cf affairs in there who had to pack the-v food and families through at first, r'cling from 20 to 30 miles, and lowering themselves by supplejacks. Some of these settlers had fourteen children, and that was the class of settler want- ; ed. But they did not cater for him. He advocated the cutting up of estates, the m-.iki.ng of railways-, and the putting of poor men on the land. He made a strong plea for roads in the back blocks, nnd stated that tliour-- ' nnds of pounds had been wasted for i years through inefficient engineering. Regarding Native lands, he contended thai the .Natives should be brought into line with Europeans, and bear the burden of administration of the c-ou-n- ---; trv.

MR ANDERSON.

M'r Anderson (Mataur.i) followed. Referring to the railway*, he said the objection to the Commissioners had no foundation. Ho agreed that there was plenty of material in the Railway Department to successfully' manage the railways, but it must be remembered that there was great dissatisfaction in the service with the heads of the Department. On the laud question he advocated compulsory clauses in connection with future sales, of Crown lands. By increasing the tax on the estates of over £20,000 instead of £30,000, ay proposed, aggregation would be prevented to a large extent. He advocated proportional representation for the Upper House. The debate was- adjourned, and the House rose at 10.40 p.m.
