WTBI.;. ' Of BAST coast DISTRICT. GENTLEMEN, -I am in favor d further endowments being given to the Harbor Board to produce revenue sufficient to obviate the necessity of any rate being levied, and of an endowment for the Wairoa Harbor.

I shall propose a commission with absolute power to deal with questions of Native title, and also alterations in the Native Land Laws, to prevent future complications. I am In favor of the Education standard being maintained, and reserves being devoted, not to High Schools, but to primary education. lamin favor of Local Self Government, and Will support a measure for that purpoM, I shall strongly advocate and support a comprehensive scheme of oolonisation, subject to such restrictions as may bo necauary to be applied, and that caution which is required in national undertakings should bo exercised, and especially so as not to interfere with the present labor market. I am in favor of a Land and Income Tax in substitution of the Property Tax (so that the £50,000,000 of money at present escaping taxation may bear its share), and will also support Sir George Grey’s Land for Settlement Bill.
