A PILL FOR "HARAPIPI."
TO TUB ElrtTOK. Silt, —Admitting that liarapipi is an authority on the mat ter of how this colony ought to be governed, I, as an humble elector would like to ask him one or two questions, through your columns. I want to know how ho makes out that the thrifty benefit because of their being so many not thrifty ? Are the working bees better off when they have a largo number of drones in their hives ? Does he think it just that a mans iudustry should be taxed, when the revenue might be raised from the increased value given to the land by the increase of the people? For instance we can say that land can now be bought in the town of liarapipi for ten pounds an acre, now if its population increased to ten thousand, that same acre would be worth say £10,000. Now, will he say who should bo ontitled to the i;|),i)!)0 increased value, the man that holds possession, or the people who gave it the increased value ''. —.1 am, etc., EXQUIRKIi.
