HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

DIRECT TAXATION,

On the second reading of the Land and Income Assessment Act Amendment Bill,

Mr Ward, in the course of a lengthy reply, answered the speeches of variou3 members who had criticised the measure. He said the remarks of members on the opposite side of the House had been strongly in favour of a property tax, but he questioned whether they would advo cate those views before the people of the colony. He denied that the proposals of the Government offered any concessions to the banks, and said it it was still found that these institutions were paying an in sufficient tax they would consider the ad visability of further increasing the taxa tion on them, Under the proposals con tained in the present Bill the banks would have to pay £1500 a year more than they pay at present, and the clauses which he intended to strike out of the Bill would not have relieved the banks to the extent of sixpence He pointed out how difficult it would be for the Go vernment to make an invidiousdistinction j in regard to the taxation of the Welllne; ton'Manavcatu Railway Company. As to the point raised by Mr Saunders with re gard to the exemption of town properties, Mr Ward pointed out that to make a distinction between the two classes of properties would raise a cry of town versus country, and more anomalies would exist in such a s>ystem than hon. members could conceive to be possible. The desire of the Government in intro ducing this Bill was to make the land tax more workab'e, and he believed the pro posed amendments would make the system more useful.

The second reading was agreed to on the voices, and the committal of the Bill was set down for to-day. Tbe House rose at 3.15 a.m. The House met at 2 30 p.m. CO OPERATIVE WOBKS. A long debate took place on the ques tion of co-operative works, Mr Wright. bringing up the matter by moving the adjournment of the House. REPLIES TO QUESTIONS. Replying to questions it wa<} stated that 82,000 acres of th? Autaraa book had been purchased by the Government; and that a large number of extra polling booths would be provided for the next election. The House rcse at 5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. COLOKEL FOXS RBPG&T. The Premier gave notice to move when Colonel Fox's report comes up for con' sideration on Monday—"That the volun teer year be extended to the last day of February in each year ; that the disband ing of country corps which last year were efficient, &nd whose disbanding has been recommended by Colonel Fox, be held over; that the selection of Martini-Henry rifles be approved." PUBLIC REVENUES BILL. After a short discussion, during which Mr Rolleston protested against the man ner in which the finance of the colony was being conducted by the present Government, the House went into Com mittee on the Public Revenues Bill, which was passed through without material alteration. The Land and Income Assessment Act Bill was committed. Clause 4—Land and mortgages of Building Societies exempt. A long debate took place, Mr Ward wished to make the clause apply only to Building Societies whose mortgages did not exceed £6000, bub the Chairman ruled that his amendment could not be pub because ifc increased taxation. Mr Ward moved that the exemption should apply to Building Societies whose mortgages were less than £SQj,OQOi. The amendment was carried on the voices. The clause as amended was added to the Bill by 29 to 9. Clause 7, which fixed the penalty for non-compliance with the requirement of the Commissioner to furnish returns, was altered so as to allow persons a reasonable excuse for non-compliance before a penalty is enforced. The minimum penalty was fixed at not less than £2 in stead of £5. Clause |^5— Assessments to be made on jlaiVd after deduction til all improvements. pir Robert Sj:out m'oyed' that' the ex : epaption of improvements be struck cut. This amendment; wa* being debated when the Telegraph office closed at 2 a.m.

Parliamentary Notes.

Home-Brewed Ale.

A writer in the " Pall Mall Gazette " says:—ln the Southern counties the laborers drink too much beer. Were the liquor sound rand good things would not be so bad, but it is not. A very great deal of nonsense is fre quently spoken about the great merits of English home-brewed. As drunk to-day it is absolutely vile. Home brewed ale is, from a laborer's point of view, of two kinds. Firstly, there is the compound sold under that name at, the wayside inn, and manufactured in the brewery attached to it. Very likely the publican might under favor able circumstances produce a higher class of beer, but as hi 3 customers drink only four-ale it would not pay him to go much trouble or expense. Obviously, however, a man's muscle is not likely to improve by his drinking gallons of this thin, sour, ard flat purge. The farmer's home-brewed is very little better. Usually a farmer brews two kinds of beer, one a potent and mighty ale for his own consump tion, and the other a thin and unpala table beer for his men. His own is of course the foaming tankard of the novelist. It may foam, but it is not nearly so good for digestion as the ordinary light ales of Burton. Apart from all that, however, it is obvious that for an agricultural laborer to soak himself in beer is bad training for harvest. What athlete preparing to row or play football, nay, what mem ber of a coanty e'even, would dare to drink a gallon of beer daily 1 And if his food were made up of slops the fluid would be all the mote dangerous. The oatmeal porridge and milk pro vided on northerly farms morning and night has two advantages. In itself it is a nourishing and wholesome food, and in the second place it allays rather than provokes thirst. The wretched tea and worse coffee consumed in rural districts cannot possibly do any good, and doubtless account for the pale faces which are far too frequently seen among the dairymaids. The truth is that the grocer's cart and the commer cial traveller are so keen in competing with their rivals that they have demoralized country people. Bufc if the condition of the South-country labourer is to he raised to that of the North countryman, the place to begin is at the dinner table. Unless a man be wisely and well fed he can make no true progress.

On Monday the New Zaaland Cyclists Alliance sent the following cablegram to Mr W. J. S.
