A STRANGE STATEMENT.
Town and Country Life, a journal published in Auckland, and in which the Prime Minister is said to have an interest, recently' published the following : —-
"It is said that large landholders in the Wairarapa district arc greatly incensed at the action ol the Reform Government in adoptiny the graduated land tax a.s part (.1 its policy, and that certain erstw'hile supporters of Mr Massey and the party he led for so many years in opposition, are likely to transfer their support to the 'Liberals' in consequence."
Wo do not know what authority the Auckland paper has for this .statement; but we confess that the threatened transfer of support to the "Liberals" is news to us. We have not heard it breathed in the Wairarapa, arid, frankly, we do not believe it.
