FOR JUSTICE.
On anv basis of fair play the North Island should have 300 miles more of open railway lines than the South Island has. Instead of that, the North Island has, in round figures, 400 miles less. We are 700 miles to the bad in railways, as well as four members to the bad in representation.' Is it not about time this state of things began to be taken seriously into consideration by the North Island? What seems suggested is a conference of North Island members. Of course it would put party on one side. This is not a party question, but one of the two islands and of common justice. . There is an opportunity for some North Island man or organisation to take the initiative here, to try to get a gathering of North Island members convened in order to discuss the situation. WTio will make a start?—Napier “Telegraph.”
