THE CASE OF THE POOR
The Hon. T. Mackenzie thinks the poorer citizens of the Dominion ought to have a chance of . bettering their health by tho use of the healing waters of. their own country. We invite the world to come to the waters, we build cities for them, we cater for their luxuries, we minister to their every want; we not only see to their cure, but wo provide for their amusement, all this is done with the taxpayers’ money.' The taxpayer takes a cheerful view "Because he knows his money will come back to him somehow. Exactly. The helpless of our own household are as much entitled on these terms of the public purse as the hypochondriacs of the outside' world, who are different from our own only in being the possessors of more money. The case sentimental for the poor in our midst, for whom we do so little, is economically on the same foundation as the case for tho rich tourist for whom we do so much. More power to the new Minister. “Southland News.”'
