mars would be exempt from ah Income Tax. It seems to me that if you are going to exempt every holder of land outside the towns from the Income Tax, you will ' not got much by your Income Tax, Be- [ sides, where are you going to draw the ' line ? Numbers of persona engaged m business also own farms, and what are you going to do with them ? Are they to pay a land tax or an income tax 1 If a . Mnd and income tax be imposed, the practical result will be that every person who owas land, whether it be roilly his own property, or whether he be but the mortgagee's tenant, will pay <;he land tax, and evorybody who has an income above a certain sum, from whatever source de rived, will pay the income tax. The essential unfareness of* a laud and income tax is, that under such a system of taxation, the country residents would' pay a share of the taxation altogether disproportionate to tha* borne by the townspeople. If two men have each a capital of LSOOO, * under the Property Tax each pays pxactly the same amouat, but with a land and income tax, if one of them invested his capital m land, under a land tax of only one penny m the £, and with a LSOO exemption, he would have te pay LlB 15s. If the other in rested his LSOOO on morthage at 6£ per, cent, it would give him an income of L 325. The English exemption on such an income would be Ll2O ; leaving a taxable income of L 205, which afc 6d m the £, would mean a tax of L5 2s 3d, compared with the landowner's LlB 15s. If a tax of twopence m the £ were im posed, the landowner would pay L 37 10s. Should moreover the townsman be unable to invest his LSOOO- profitably, or his in come from it not reach the amount of the exempted incomes, say Ll5O, he would escape taxation altogether; whereas the landowner would hare to pay the full land tax, whether hia year's operations re sulted m a profit or m a loss. If a graduated scale of taxation be desir able, why not graduate the Property Tax? Why should the rich man whose money is invested m land pay more taxation than the rich man whose money is invested m some other way. If the large landowner is to be burst up, why burst up the ordinary farmer as well? It is surely unwise for working men or the small "cockatoo" to join m the cry for the imposition of a Land Tax. Under the Property Tax they pay nothing whatever, No tax could be more favorable to their interests,. Under the Land Tax they would probably have to pay something, and why saddle themselves with unneces sary burdens ? Why not let well alone ?— I am etc., Qhas. W. Pukneia. 28th November, 1890.

IMPERIAL POLITICS.

London, November 26. The House of Lords has agreed to the Address-in-Reply. In the Com mons there was a tame debate, which collapsed altogether Upon Mr Gladstone declining to move an amendment, when MrParnell had been re-elected leader, of the Irish party. The "Times" asserts that Mr Gladstone personaily solicited Parnell to resign. There is an impression that Mr Gladstone will abandon political life unless his ulti matum is accepted, and that he is in censed that Parnell did not inform his supporters of the nature of his decision before his re-election. A second meet of Parnellities will be held to-day, They declare they will be faithful to Parnell if Home Rule is delayed for years m consequence.

i [PER I'BESS ASSOCIATION. | Bulls, November 27. Attheß.M. Court yesterday, C. H. Tomlinsou, Secretary of S,andon Special, Settlement Association, was charged Ayith | the embezzlement of £242, money en- j trusted to him by the Association foi the ' purpose of paying • Government for their township lands. Ho was rohianded for a week. t Dunepin, November 27. \ The Dairying Conferences opeiiiKl til* day under the presidency of Mr Brydone, who urged the necessity of adopting means whereby home manufactured cheese "and butter-J should; iJeaeli" the . Lohd >ri, markets m the primest condition. These, commodities were m good sound con dition when they 'left the colony, but a large portion was found to be faulty when it reached tlife Home markets. The Minister of Agriculture.'said; that Government fully recognised the desir ability ai appointing a reliable and intelligent man to make a voyage to England with a .sample of butter and cheese the colony had shipped^ and see it B<>ld m London under his immediate superintendence. There was a general consensus of opinion which seemed to pipint m the .direction that butter will s^and freezing. Mr Sawyers says the principal reason why New Zealand butter w;ill not- keep after it is unpacked is that the cows had been fed on new pasture. The Minister of Agriculture; was inclined ■ to attribute a good deal of- the non-success* of shipments of butter to this fact. Seeing that there existed so much differ ence of opinion upon the whole question, Government were prepared to assist m t|ie suggested direction, and the be3t course would be for firms and individuals Who may be interested m the trade to combine for the purpose mentioned, on the understanding that Government con tribute towards the expense. It was ' reported that the Shipping Companies had granted a reduction: of £d on cool chamber freight for London, besides securing a x-eturn of half primage. The Committee pointed bub the need of a separate chamber for cheese exports if 500 tons were guaranteed for shipment. The Union Company indicated their willingness to reduce freights, and there is* every reason to believe the ! Railway Commissioners will reduce freights to grain rates.

CORRESPONDENCE.

(We do not hod ourselves r«l|pons!ble for the opinions '•■ ; . expressed by our correspondent*,) ■ LAND TAX TO THE EDITOR. ' Sik, —To hear some of our candidates of the Conservative, persuasion condemn ing a Land Tax as "most unjust to pfessnb owners " or fi little better than robbery," one would suppose it is now ■ proposed'for the fh'st time m New Zea land, and that it is a tax unkown m other countries. What are the factsi? There are land taxes m Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia, and these countries have not be':in ruined'; though, no doubt, 1 all the stock arguments we hear were 'usjed there previous to the taxes being imposed. And again, a committee of the House of.^Commons about Jthe year 1845 recommended- that a land tax Was necessary m New to check land speculation. The recommendation was notadopted, simply because the law makers tbjen, as ever since, were the owners of the land. The next time we heard of a land tax was when Sir Julius Yogel proposed his celebrated public works scheme. One of his proposals was that a lafid tax be put on so that lands enhanced irt value by the railways should contribute something towards the cost. The result was the same as before —landowners "and tlieir friends m a majority, To-day the land owners are not m a majority m the country, but they are likely to again have a hiajorifcy m the 'House, unless the small farmers and laborers stick together and refuse to be gulled as they have allowed themselves to be so often m the past,—l am, etc, / '."

MR WALKER AT ALFORD FOREST.

Mr W. C. Walker addressed a meeting of, electors m the schoolroom at Alfortl Forest on "Wednesday evening, November 26th. A strong nor'-wester prevented a favorable hearing, but the meeting paid every attention to the discourse. Mr Hy. Knight occupied the chair. Mr Walker began by referring to his six years service as representative, and his cdhstant endeavor had been to help not j only the district but the whole country. With regard toa ♦' singl© tttx " on land it would be unjust to residents of the coun try, especially as manufacturers m towns were specially protected. Sadden changes' were always to be avoided, it possible, arid a Property tax exemption up to, say, £2000 worth of improvements would take away the chief objections t<J it.: The Otago farmers, as a body, had re solved not to support any man for their representative who advocated the single trx. The Customs tariff might ad vantageously be revised and working men relieved of the heavier burdens on the necessaries of life, the balance to be made up by a proportionate tax'bn large settled inbomes, not resulting from labour. He sttongly advocated placing native lands urlder Waste Land Boards' similar to Crown lands, thus doing away with the difficulties experienced at present m acquiring same for public use. The Rail way Commissioners were not likely to succeed m their management when Messrs Maxwell and Hannay, formerly old Government servants and not then suc cessful, were appointed to that office, against cftmmon sense. He (Mr Walker) had been appointed;one of a deputation tti them, asking for grain sheds to more effectually answer public requirements. Agriculture should be fostered as m Vic toria, "and the butter industry specially helped. Education should be free, secu lar and junsectarian. A' vote of thanks anid confidence was proposed by Mr A. McFarlane,seccmded by Mr P.. Tisch, and carried, and a vote of thanks to the chair man concluded the mee!ing ! __
