A warm debate is anticipated. It is now bold'y asserted amongst the Opposition that the Government have no intention of proceeding with the Taxation Bills this session, recognising that the necessary revenue oannot be obtained under the present proposals. Ministers, on ths other hand, assert that the proposals will ba f’lven effect to by the Bills shortly to be ntroduced. The Land for Settlement Bill proposes tn give the Minister power to acquire privets estates for tbe purpose of opening them up for settlement, subjeot to the approval of Parliament.
Mr Seddon says that so far as the South Island is concerned the Arms Aot is not operative. As regards the North Island relations between the native race and ths settlers generally are of such a friendly nature that Government is considering whether the Arms Aot should not ba rspealed.
