ThoFeilding Star, referring to the resolution recently passed by the Wairarapa North County Council recommending tbo Government to empower all local authorities to iinpoao a penalty jof not more than ten percent, on ail rates in arrear for a period of three tyonths after the domand is made, saysi—No doubt the idea upperraobt in their minds was that, should the Government creato such a law the fear of having to pay the oxtra ton per cent, Would cause the rates to How in rapidly. Thßre could be no greater mistake, We do not think tho House, tho majority of the members being, no doubt, in arrears with their own ratoß where they have them to pay, would pass an act legalising such an imposition, Tho true remedy already lies in the hands of local bodies, because it is provided that all outstanding rates audthey ccme under this heading the day after the rates become payable, may be Bued for in the Resident Magistrate's Court for their recovery, The plan of selecting by ballot, at each meeting of a local body where the unpaid rates have become abnormally large, of names to be summoned, has answered well in this part of the country, and we would recommend our friends in the Wairarapato adopt it. We do not like the idea of appealing to '- 1 the Government" for everything,
