The Minister for Education objected that the Bill waa ill drafted, and was really a re enactment of what waa already provided in the principal AoU Colonel Pitt thought that the provisions of the Bill were in advance of those of the principal Act, particularly aa regarded the physical training of girls.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, Angußb 14 The House met ab 2,30 Mr Field gave notice to introduce the Juvenile Smoking Suppression Bill* A message was read from the Governor, stating that the King had expressed his grateful thanks for the address of condolence passed by the House on the death of the Empress Frederiok. Mr McLachlan was granted leave of absence for a week on account: of illness;

A letter to Mr Seddon from ths Rev W Blade with reference to the state of things in Fiji was laid on the table. In reply to questions, the Ministers stated that when the Imperial Parliament had finished its consideration of the English Copyright Act, the present Copysight Act of New Zealand would be considered by the Government, with a view to necessary amendments: that there was no intention lo have artificial manures carried free on- the railways; that it was not considered desk" able to build up industries in the colony by means of bonuses. Deserving industries were already afforded considerable protection That the Government could not see its way to grant subsidies to Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ; thab a pamphlet containing simple rules for the proper care and feeding of infante and young children would very Bhortly be iaeued by the Government, but it was too large an order for the Government to appoint Medioal Poor Law Officers; that the Government could not give a bocua to encourage the varnish Industry ; that tbe Government waa not in favour of appointing a set of wool classer. for the olony, bnt tho Depart* ment of Agriculture would give whab Assistance it could to benefit the wool growers of the colony; that there was no ground for complaint tfcut many of the examiners in the Junior Civil Service ex amination marked the work of their own pupils ; thab the Government was in favour of the imposition of a email tax oa stallione, the proceeds to go to Agricultural Societies, and the necessary legislation wculd be introduced this session ; that the Government Intended to again introduce the Small Birds Nuisance Bill; that it was nob considered that the time had arrived to make tho Waste Land Boards eleotive

Ths House rose ab 530 pm The House resumed ab 7 30 p m

JMr Arnold resumed the adjourned debate on"'tKe'''seoond 'reading oFtue Rating ou Unimproved Values Act Amendment Bill Messrs Fowlds, J Hutcheson, Collins, Guinmeßßs Field, McGuire, and Thompson (J. W) also spoke. Mr Seddon, in reply, nai'd he believed that notwithstanding the protracted nature of the debate good would resalb therefrom. A large number of mem bers had expressed concurrence with the Erlnclpio ol rating on the unimproved value, ut objected to the provisions of this Bill; If these members were sinoore in their belief fehat the system of rating on the unimproved wales was the correct and proper one, why Oo earth ibonld they vote againsb a Bill which was designee! to orrry oub that prin ciple ? To him the attitude of these members Was altogether unintelligible. There was a glaring Inconsistency on the part of several members; They had voted for the passing ef the principal Act In 1896, and now they objected to that Act being made mandatory He believed in equality of sacrifice, and the placing of burdens on those best able to bear them, and he contended this desirable state ef affairs would be attained under the system ef rating on tha unimproved values. A section of the House seemed to fear the consequence of this Bill, but there was no ground for fear. Fe_r of a single tax bad caused a lot of people to express opinions antagonistic to this measure. He could not understand this feeling, and he was not a tingle taxer; Mr Seddon went on to say that he approved of Mr Fowld's suggestion that in cases where a> poll bad recently been taken no fresh poll should he taken for three years. With regard to the recent vote In Aock'anrJ, he said if the poll could be taken over again under a franchise which would allow all residents to vote he would have no fear as to tbe result*

Mr _awry—But you will have to oh: rj_g< the franchise.

Mr Seddon—That is coming, and make no mistake about it. He added the time was coming when all elections would be conducted on the general roll. He 'believed tbe great mass of the people were in favour of rating on unimproved value. The poll in Auckland was only the sixth poll in whioh tbe - prin ciple had been rejected out of thirty three polls whioh had been taken. He could not anderstand why the hon member should be guided by the six polls ab which this principle hag been refected, instead of the number at which ib had been carried.

On division the aeoond reading was carried by 27 to 23. Mr Seddon intimated thab he would have a return prepared showing in detail bow the system of rating on bhe unimproved values would affect each city, borough, and county in the colony. In reply to a question Mr Seddon said this woaM Inolnde every individual rate payer. The following ia the division list on the (second reading of the Rating on Unimproved Values Bill.—Ayea (27)—Allen (B G),
