, To th Editor of ih Wairabafa Daily, irttwwl ? il s- in , t0 . rest rm le^ing article of last Saturday» 18S u e commenting on the future prospects of New Zealand f dealln g Wlt}l the proposals of the Go' vernment ra taxation. Your idea of ?uttmg an extra duty on goods which : Jould be manufactured here is quite right • Jt no one as yet, has oiled the wholof the machinery necessary to put the finan--fi J 011 ? CoUlltr y illto aPi substantial .motion,. MorelVwaning besides increasing our taxation feb f not ! ar Aslant when all- - the tes that can possibly be levied W i country Public works and borrowed "" MtSSSS''' : : men, especially practical farmers, should be'induced to settle in the colony-tHo ormer t 0 MtabM new industries, and ' the latter to .purchase land now only half worked by farmers who have neithw experience or ..money-to ' niakfe 1 the Ijvha: pay, ** uw .

this scheme would be crowned with success. ~Then. oursurplusdabor-would-be" absorbed on farm's, our revenue increased, and land would be mado to feed-four sheep to the acre instead of one,, Mr Vogel is doing the'country more harm than good, andthe.soonerhe is shiftedtho better/ and his salary spent in inducing the right elass'of men to make New Zealand their home, k less expensive staff would be sufficient to take the place of the present Agent-General & Co. # It ■is all nonsense to say that the land is locked up by runholders. I am quite sure if a practical farmer came into the Wairarapa to-day with £SOO or £IOOO in his pocket, any quantity of good farms would be offered him by the big men, who are now getting tired of the new and threatening forms "of taxation they are likely to be subjected to. What is the use, of liberal land laws, if no suitable people are to be found to occupy these lands with profit to themselves and advantage to the country 1 The .people who are now applying to the Government for land would do much better to take situations on well managed fMgtfand, by so doing, gain both money \jßflßxiperience. afraid of taking up too much of /your valuable space with this letter, and will conclude by asking your opinion on its contents.
