SECOiND EDITION

The Government Lave formulated a n«w scheme for settling bush lands. They will clear and grass blocks in different parts of the Colony and lease the areas to cleared in suitable sections to 4be mm whom they employ in the work. This project may prove popular amongst the more needy classes in the large towns, who do not know what is involved in an undertaking to fall and clear bush at five and twenty or thirty shillings an acre, and who may hail with delight the prospect of regular employment at a current rate of wages with a contingent right to lease a grass clearing. Stop by step the Government is advancing on new lines. First of all the land has no longer to be paid for, now the felling, burning and grassing will bo done for the working settler. The next oon cession will be putting up the fencing for him, building him a whare and buy ing him stock. He will want all these aids to enable him to wrest a living oat of bis leasehold. Why shonld the Government stop half way ? There is no objection to (bis or any other project being undertaken on a small scale although there is a limit as to the extent of it because the taxpayers of the Colony have to pay for all these little ventures. It often happens that the work of- clearing bush land proves a disastrous failure. A bad bum arrests the whole process and then a second growth of brash creeps up amongst the fallen timber and the land becomes a sort of white elephant. The utmost skill, care . and vigilance is essential to avoid a catastrophe of this kind, and it is only perhaps when a man 's all is at stake in a pince of land, that he is able by almost superhuman exertion to cope with the difficulty. We. fear that when the Government take up the business of bush-felling, clearing, and grassing, a business which can only be satisfactorily managed by expert labour, they will, trusting to Tom, Dick, and Harry, who know more about street,corners, than bash clearings, make bad felling, bad burning, bad logging up, and had grassing. However tbey will fiad the money for the experiment out of tha land and income tax and if it proves a failure—welt the scheme cannot break down before the General Election, and they will get credit for it so far. When it does collapse they will be ready to bolster it up with some other undertaking. Co-operativei labour is not quite the trump card it wns so it is to be, backed by the .new bush scheme. TheGaveramesi. have sent up another balloon and the people will cry hurrah J ■ ■
