MAJOR ATKINSON'S TOUR.

Speech at Christchurch.

(1!Y TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

CHRISTCHORCff, Monday.

MAJOR Atkinson addressed a meeting in the Odd Fellows' Hall tonight, 'ihe Mayor of Chi istchurch occupied the chair, and about 500 persons were present.

Major atkin-on, who was warmly re ceived, thanked the public for the cordial way in which they had responded to the invitation to meet him. This he took as an evidence of the activity of political thought in the district. One of the difficulties which public men had to contend with wns the difficulty in knowing what public opinion was. From this it follows that most of the public men of New Zealand wtre only known locally. The way in which the country had been settled from several centres had advantages, Various types of men are growing up in various places. The difficulties caused by the country being d iminated by one large centre wero absent. On llie other hand, in various Governments men had been chose not because of their aptitude, but because they came from cer tain districts. This was a disadvantage, so he had determined tn let the electors have an opportunity of judging of himself so far as they could by hearing him deliver pub lic addresses. It was unnecessary for him to fay that he was a strong party man. Parties were necessary for successful go vernment He could understand the ne cessity of men sometimes sinking tbeir differences and combining for the general good. He was not going to deal with party que tions now. lie would ssk them to con'-iiier what he had to say to them on its merits. He would make some remarks on the constitution, taxation, the land question, and pauperism. Than night he would deal with the first three, leaving the fourth for next night. Before proceeding it was necessary to take a glance at the colony as it was. It had a most beautiful climate, and was a country able to support many millions of psople an energetic, capable population, possessing the virtues of iheir fa'hers and many of their vie s Their nett public debt amounted to £27,500,0'J0. The indebtedness of local bodies was over "£3.000.000, a total of £31,000,000. Thiy were also indebted to foreign capitalists on mortgages, to the extent of £16,000,000 more. The public assets, tb» frown land, railways, and tele graphs, amounted to oyer £21,000,000. t* o 10-ibt tbey could wipe out the public debt by parting with ihese assets, thougn he, for his part, hoped they would not be so foolish, Tne total assets, public and private, of the colony were £157,000,000. so that after paying off the public debt they had £100,000,000 to the good. The colony had great advantages in the way of natural communication, and one of the finest fleet' of steamers any colony ever had. With regard to the question of the constitution, that it was thoroughly democratic no one would deny. It, however, possessed certain faults: First, as to tho size of the elector ates. It was a disputed point whether small or large constituencies were best. He thought large constituencies were preferable in old communities. It had been found that in a newly settled country, if large constituencies were found, all the political power was in the hands cf one centre, that evil, however, would disap pear as the colouy became more settled, In small electorates local spirit was apt to be too prevalent. Men were returned, not for their ability, but because they would get loads and bridges for their dis tricts ; so it would be wise to consider if, in the future, large constituencies would not be desirable. The present sys tem of eh ctions might be improved upon. Ho thought that better men would be re turned by adopting the Hate system. With regard to tbe Legislative Council it had been accused of thwarting the will of the people, and also of want of capacity, He ventuied to say it bad been of great use to the colony, ("No, no" ; and " Hear, hear,") Never once had it stood between legislation md tbe will of the people. It hadacted as a salutary check upon ha-ty legislation, But the time was coming when its oonstitu. tion niu:>t be altered, ("Hear, hear,") Now, had the electors thought out the question bow it was to be altered? ("Yes.') He was delighted to hear it, aud hoped those who had some practical scheme would quickly enlighten the colony. (A Voice: "Bring your own out first.") That was what he was going to do. Thero was great danger in having two elective Housts unless their functions were clearly defined. Even in that case tbe best men would gravitate to one House or the other, nud the difficulty then was to get enough capable men to fill both Houses, Xbcy niu.t, however, apply the elective piinciplo to both douses soon. There were two courses —either to make two con stituences of the two island*, and elect the Upper House by the votes ou tho present electoral rolls (the Hato system could be advantageously applied to the election of the Upper House), or the House of Repre sentatives might elect the Upper House. He pieferred the former. With regard to the functions of Government, he believed tbat these in a democratic country had no natural limits. It appeared to him that the only limit was what could be most profit ably done fur the welfare of the people; so when it was said that such and such things were outside the functions of Government he did not heed, unless it were proved that they could be better done by private individuals. Tho very idea of a Democratic Government was that it was an embodiment of the people, Therefore, ho hoped whenever a scheme was proposed they would not pooh pooh it because it was said to be out ids the function of Government. No doubt it was undesirable that a central Government should absorb all the power of the people, and therefore too much Centralism was ob jectionable. Taxation was usually con sidered rather a dry question till the tax collector came to tbe door; bo while 1 o'itical matters weie quiet Ire wished them to con&ider it, Taxation was unjust if it bore unfairly on any class. The four caoon3 of taxation were, equality, certainty, convenience, and economy. They should try their taxation by those standards. It was impossible to provide any one tax which would meet all theso requirements, a variety of tn^es waa needed, so that all classes should pay their fair share. a class tax was not one paid by any par ticular class, but one which was Imposed on one class without other classes being called on to pay a corre'ponding tax. The land tax was a class tax—(No, no, and hear, hears—because it touched only those who possessed lan el, and unless they had a tax pressing in an equal degree on holders cf other kinds of property it was a cla's tax, (Hear, hear.) Taxation was of two classes —taxation proper, Customs and stamp duties, which yielded £1,950,000, and taxa tion for services rendered, railways^ ftc., whiph ra!sed £1,350,000. One-half of the Customs was on spirits, winrs, and tobacco. This was an important faot, and had a groat bearing on pauperism. If they added the duty on colonial beer, they would find that £762,000 was paid annually on drink and smoke in tbe colony. The revenue fell short in 1879, and a great effort had to be made to inciease if, so the ' Customs were increased. It was objected by some that it was foolish to increase the Customs, and that the lower they were the more they would realise. Now, these critics forgot that we wero tbe people who were de termined to have what we like to eat and drink, and chance what it costs, Iv an old counti y it was different, fcr then any reduc tion of duty brought things within the reach of people who could not enjoy them before. E'e was satisfied that the imposition of the extra 2 per cent, on spirits and tobacco I had not led to smuggling as had been re. j ferrcd to in a l hristchuroh newspaper, In I 1879 there had been in tbe amount of spirits consumed a fall of two pints por head of the adult male population ; a further fall took place in 1880, but in 1881 it rose again to 17i pints per head. The fact tbat the revenue had not fa!l:n off showed that ! there had been no systematic illicit distilla i tion or smuggling. There had been a great ! improvenieutiu the habits of tbe people in this respecf. (A.Voice: "Hard times.") He would have been pleased had he Jieen able to promise a reductioh"in Customs : duties, bur he could not, and, so far as ' smuggling and illicit distillation were con -1 cerned, there was no necessity for it. He considered tbat on the whole taxation was very tairly levied in J>'ew Zealand. To find out whether this was so he had divided fche population into three classes—the pro perty tax class, the intermediate class, and , the industrial class. Omitting spirits and tobicco, tbo duty on which was a sort of voluntary tax, the industrial class, consisting of 321,000 people, paid £280,000, or 17s 3d per head; the intermediate class, numbering 96,000, paid £256,000, or £2 13s 3d each; and the property class, numbering PB.OOO, paid £310,000, or £4 10s lOjd each. He thought there could be no fairpr tax than the propetty tax, for it was'takeii ftom propeity, after deducting liabilities and income, acd dealt with so much of a man's property a* he phoses to make repro ductive, if a man with a large capital pbose to invest it, bo as to r.turn only £800, inpome tax would be paid on that sum, while a pooref man in trade who had to get

Judging by the meefo« being held in England and Scotland,! thought there would be a very B |roce d,. ---mandfor some restriction .in ~hl countnep. We had free trade,,in ]Z i practically here, except that there was S the power of tying land np which noto would be taken away next seisin, (Applause.) They would then le able to try the experiment as to how free fe,v '"' m land would suit tbis colony. Ib« ) question of tbe nationalisation Qf the land ■ was very different in the Old Coua'tre'' : to what it was here. 34,000,000 acres dnt i of 64,000,000 in New Zealand were. owtd i by the people of New Zealand; and.'assii tho possession of the land here did notiim the social distinction which it did in-E«_. land. The land tenure should, ha thoitf be discussed in public meetings and-lhe Press, and tbe land Act.of last .stsgioa' should be given a fair trial.'lf they were wise they would put aside for a long time the question of nationalising all. land in the colony. They might have freehold tenure, but they should wait and see tie result of leasing land with perpetual tenure' and then they would be ablc:tu see wbieb' tenure was best. As to the application of the rent received from Government laid,! tome thought it should go to relief general taxation, "others agreed tbat if we got enough rent from tbe ' land to abolish taxation ate, gether, the rent should be applied to le relief, not of the whole commufiity,:j)nt6), that of the various taxpayers in proportion a9 they contributed to' the. revenue, ;Hi« object in bringing this featnre before il*' was to show tne favourable position.lie; colony occupied in regard to' dealing wiili the great probloms of the present day, Tie greatest of these was the distribution' oi wealth. What was the object of civilisi. tion if not to secure the greatest happiaca to the greatest nnmber? What Rood tbe civilisation, if it brought ease and plenty to the few, and want to the many. No pauper class existed in! the colony'af' present, and they should be very thankful : for it. (A voice: "Any amount: -baot''. dreds are starving in Christctmtcb.".. Another voice .- "It is not true; we iat« had a soup kitchen here.'') There was no pauper class iv the colony, but there toi materials for makiDg one, and with a little neglo.cfc they would have one class 6t ma born and bred to live upon the State! li they Mould grapple witti pauperism"thej..-. would strangle it.
