Gittn%r:xKN— Ih oflering myaetf as your represcntn tivo for tho Giyy Valley District in llio Genorul A«nerably r l will as shortly as possible, hy my views before- you on tho principal important measures which nro likely to bo brought beloro Parliament during the coming session. KXTBN-MuN i-l? VlUNCrn*:* AND laiMTOVAL HUfIJIUOTS. I nm in ncoord with Sir George Grey and his party on- ihis nv^t important piil-j"(!t. I -WHeve that every man who eontrilni'ox to tho revenue ol the Contry 'xhoiild hare a voice in its dinbrihution nnd therefore would sapporft Sir G«orge Grey in his proposal lor MS n hood SufT« ragpgo; Tlic present Weetoral District of the (trey Yiilley should hnve three momborn. One for- Gi-nymoulh and So'ilh to tho Tercmakau ; on<* for the Grcv \ r hlley proper ; anil one for tho Tnangahna District, this w- uld h* *. Oiir diitrtbulion. and one t at the importance of (ho dis* triets dcxcrvi 1 -!. vuhr.ic w- nics A'M> rt'UTirr;'? ii-mjuowtno. It is impos-iil.lo n ; this otigo t.h»t New Zealand' c:>n stnul slill in the p'O^eoU'* tion of ilfl great l'uhlic Works. I would -br strongly in favor <M' largo bm rowing powers being given totho Govornmont for this pn^ose. Several lines of railwny ■on the other side of tlio isl-md wmnt mmplbiing in order to nuke them n fiiiniminl success; nnd mnro i'mpoitaiit oven than that is tho'ConitnuMion of n rnilwav line to connect the Knst with tlio West Coa-t 1 of the Middle T-dnnd, thii matter require oonMnnt and unremitting- encrgv on the part of your representative*. That this work wnild l>o a paying one there can bo no doubt. The construction of tlie line from Groymouih to connect w'tlj tho Cnnforluirv lino offers no engineering dif« (iculn'es whatever. Surve>s hnve nlrondv been made which prove- thnt; if this great work wns completed there would ben new ora of prosperity in store for this pnrt of Now Z'o'ilnnd. Your coal mines could supply the whole of tho Middle I'slnnd railways ns well ns the Inrgo centres of population. A magnificent Country for settlement would bo opened' up. Our splendid forects vrouUl become n mine of wealth. Settlement would rapidly spread nnd in fact wo should then become a pnrt of Now Zcnland which wo can hardly call ourf elves at prosont. But whilst urging on this groat work, the port of Greymouth must ns well be attendod to. Wo nre nwaro thnt nil thnt is required to make Greymouth ono of the most flourishing towns in New Zealand is en outlet for its produce, and that can bo attained' by thn rnihvny and harbor improvements. T would ndvocnto that tho Government either snbsidis a tug boat or havo ono of their own for tlio purpose of towing in and onfc free of chnrge, I look upon it as a Coloninl work. County Co'iiv oils I think should bo subsided to tho full amount of maintenance of.mnin rondu in nddition to ordinary subsidy, nnd I would go in for nil rivers on- main lines boing bridged. In this matter I havo already taken an active part. FITATj. I would support a Land and' Properly Tax, and considerably reduced duties- on the neoessnrios of life so as to relievo the burden nt present on Iho working class in tho colony. This, I believe, can bo dono if land nnd property aro made to contri* buto their fair shnre, and nothing move, to tho rovenue of tho Colony. It is nbsurd' to say that nt present it does so, tho vnst oxpcndifnro for Public Works to which tho- working mnn so largely o^n" trlbutos hns had the effect of raising tho valuo of proportios m tho noißbborliood whoro tho expenditure hns taken- place to fourfold and in many ensos to ton times ■its original value, nnd yor, wo find thnt men with incomes of from livo to twenty thousand pounds per annum actually contribute loss to tho state thnu a working
