Electoral. mo THE ELECTORS OF FRANKLIN. Gentlemen,—The many promises of support made by the electors in various parts of your large distriat has induced me to offer myself as a candidate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Lusk as your representative • in the Parliament of New Zealand. Questions of vital importance to you will occupy the attention of our legislator.- at its next session. I will, if elected, give Sir George ] Grey's Ministry my cordial support, and co- : operate in bringing about the many reforms promised, and which arc so urgen'ly required. I am in favour of abolishing " The Counties • Act," and all toll-bars, and placing the main road 3 in charge of the various district itoad Boards. These institutions have done their work well, and ought to be fostered and encouraged. I fail to see" the necessity of a ; local taxing machine like " i'he Counties Act," with its official and billet-creating power, just to keep a few miles of roans in repair, while the principal part are maintained by the ratepayers and are free for anyone to travel on. If tho people are alive to their own interest they will see that no Government who prides itself on giving the people local self-government daie force such an obnoxious Act upon the rate payers of a free country. The "Representation Act" requires con siderable a'teration, and I quite endorse the principle of manhood suffrage, pure and simple, that the people who pay the taxes should have a voice in the government of tho com: try by a vote at the elections. I think the man who only owns a carpet-bag, and who contributes his share to the revenue, may be quite as capable of forming a correct opinion of what ia right and fair as any, other man. Another question closely affecting th 3 interest of the people is the Licensing Law. This has long been and still is a very diflicult problem to solve. There is scarcely a session in which attempts are not made to amend or alter this law, but the difficulty of dealing with the trade remains still unsettled. The principle of the Permissive Bill has been endorsed by succes sive Governments ; but the machinery for carrying it out has been made unworkable ; the districts are much too large for any practicable good. I should be in favour o^ making them the samo as the Road Districts, and give the people immediately interested the right to control the licensing question, as they ought to be tho best nidges of their own requirements. lam in favour of reducing the duths on the necessaries of life, and of making property and income bear a fair share of th : burdens which at present press very unequally on tho labourer and wealth-producer of the country. While holding these views, I am prepared to sink personal considerations for the public good, and to unite with the maiority of the Auckland members on all questions affecting the interest of thi3 Island and the Colony generally. I have only to add that I have no ends to gain except your confidence, and have no party to servo except the public. It is not my intention to canvass the district for votes, but I shall be glad to meet the electors and explain my views more fully. Should you do me the honour of electing me as your representative, I shall to the utmost of my power endeavour to merit the confidence reposed in me by studying the wants of your very important district. I flatter myself that you cannot find one possessing such a varied experience of colonial life, and who knowt the wants of your district, and with interests more identical with s_our5_our own, or will serve you more faithfully and honestly than myself. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN JENKINS. Newmarket, April 20,1875. T7l R E S H SHIPMENTS. 650 CASKS CEMENT, Ex City of Auckland and Famenoth.
