HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Wellington, yesterday,

Extension of Polling Hours.

In aeking the Government whether tiey would take charge of the bills now before the House for the extension of the hours of polling at Parliamentary elections, Mr Barron said that the opinion was hold by many hon. members, and had been enforced by the Premier, that wben a measure of great public importance such as these ques tions came up for consideration, they should not be introduced by private members if the Government could possibly be provailei on to introduce them. The Imperial Go vernment had very recently excended the hours of polling for Parliamentary and municipal elections. Mr Stout said that as so many bills had been introduced by the Government, they could not be prepared to take this bill up this session, but would be prepared to do so next sossion, which would be before the general election took place. If there was a wish for a genoral election, the Govern ment would proceed with the measure. Replies to Questions. In answer to other questions, Miotstebs said they were of opinion that there wore not sufficient boys in the industrial schools in the colony to man more than one training ship. Therefore they did not feel justified in placing a Bum of money on the Kstimates to defray the cost of maintaining any train ing ships at present, but would take the matter into consideration during the receß3. A new clause wculd be added to the Land Bill dealing with ungrantod sections of land that were originally selected under tho New Zoaland Settlements Act. They did not bco, ns to poriodically moving inspectors of police, why distinction should ba made botw. en the goldfields dis tricts and other parta of tho colony. If in spectors discharged thoir dutios satisfac torily, it was not advisable (unlees special circumatancoa oxisted) in tho interests of good administration that they should be moved to other places. Tho Governineut thought that, as was tho case in Auckland, it was necee?ary that the cost of administering the Contagious Diseases Act should be borne by the local governing bodies, and had bo intimated to tho authorities in Christchurch. It would bo manifestly unfair to place such an ex penditure on the oolony, and as they had read the remarks of the Resident Magistrate at Cbrißtchurch in connection with this matter, it reflected more on the local bodies than on tho Government. • New Bills. Mr Fisujbk gave notice of a bill to amend the Police Offences Act of lost year. Government Printing Office. Mr Joyce moved the adjournment of the House with tho object of enabling him to say. that with the member for Hokonui he had visited the Government Printing Office that morning, and caw a Bight so indescribably revolting that out of humanity to tho people employed there ho felt it bis duty to bring tbo mattor before tho Houso at once. He hoped that members would take the trouble of inspecting the place for themselves in order to realUo its unsanitary condition. Other membors having rpoken, the PRB mier stated that the Government had sub mitted a vote for a now printing office. Motion withdrawn. Counties Act Amendment. In moving the sec*nd reading of the Counties Act Amendment Bill, Mr Stout aaid it gave information as to tho principle which guided tho Government in framing this moasure. At the present there were boroughs and cities, town districts, road boards and counties, and therefore differ ent kinds of local bodioe who had gpooially to provide for the maintenance of roadu and bridges, and other things connected with local government. It whb proposed to hare two kinds of local bodies, by merging cities and boroughs and by merging counties and road boards. (Hear, bear.) Those districts whioh pre ferred th« road board system might remain •w they wert. The Government had recog nised that in the measure of reform dealing with local governmtat it was necessary to proceed caatiouily, and not to overturn tho existing institution*. An important jiroTieion was that no new ridings could Be created except by Parliament, instead of, 08 formerly, merely requiring local applies tion being made to the Governor, such ap plication* sometimes being got np under misrepresentation, Ik was the intention, in tho first instance, to hare brought down, in place of this bill, a Consolidated Counties Act, but it was found that with the largo amount of Government business for the session this was impracticable. Mr Seddon moved that the dobate on the second reading be adjourned till Tuesday, which Has agreed to. State Forests Bill In moving the second read'ng of the New Zoaland State forests Bill, Sir Jctitrs Vooki. said that many members would recognise in the preeent bill a reproduc tion of the bill which passed in 1874 and was repealed in 1376. So far as he had been ablo to discover, there were three reasons which at that time induced the repeal of the bill, none of which now existed.' Mr Stewart thought tho Legislature should have directed its attention te pre serving the existing forests. He doubted how far tho schema of encouraging the planting of trees with a view of paying oil the £50,000 which it was proposed to berrow from loan would be successful. Mr Stout pointed out that when any Government measure was brought up, the other side at onco asked for an adjourn' mont. He hoped the bill would be passed, because throughout the colony timber was being ruthleesly destroyed. It was heart rending te notice the wilful destruction of kauri forests in the North Islaad. Nob only would the bill, if passed, establish in dustries, but lookiag at it from a climatic view, it should be supported, because if the State did cot look after the forest*, disaster would be the rc-ult to agriculturists. He hoped the member for Waitemata would, withdraw his motion by leave of the House.

Mr Bevan said that, coming from one of the thickest timbered portions of the colony, he had much pleasure in supporting the bill. In the district he came from timber could be delivered on ship in logs at from 5a to 5s Od per cwt. Mr Uoixeston said that s« far as the bill was new, he did not like it. He thought that the Legislature had done wisely in repealing the State Forests Act, which was done in 1877, not in 1876, as the Treasurer had stated. That gentleman should have informed the House that after the repeal of that Act, those of its provisions relating to the conservation of forests were embodied in tho Land Act of 1877, and now appeared on the Statute Book. Bis principal objec tion to the bill was tho creation of a new department, the work of which could well be undertaken by the existing depart ments.

Mr Ballanci; said that in large forests the destruction of timber was going on with great recklessness, and he was endeavour ing to stem tbie, though, of course, it was a matter of great difficulty. It was in tended to conserve these foreuts on lands unfit for settlement.

After Messrs Hubst and Peacock had criticised the bill, the hour of adjournment was announced.

DEBATE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

On resuming at 7.30, all tho galleries were well filled in anticipation of the open ing of the debate on tho Financial State ment. House at once resolved into Com mittee of Supply. Major Atkinson said that in a re markable speech made by the Colonial Treasurer at Christchurch, he thought it necessary and advisable to give each of hid colleagues a character for capacity, and of course he was tho best judge whether they were in need of such a character. (Laughter.) The hon. gentleman told his constituents that for the future he desired that the Government should be judged on their merits. Ho (the speaker) should have to begin by quoting both the Premier and the Treasurer, in order that members might have clearly before them what those hon. gentle men undertook to do, so that they might see whether they had carried out their promise, and judge of the real worth of the proposals they had submitted for this year. The Premier, speaking at Dunedin Drill-shed in January last, promised that in the Native Lands and Defence Departments the Govern ment this year would be able to show a saving of from £60,000 to £80,000, and that in all savings of £100,000 or £150,000 would be effeoted, unless some unforeseen circumstance occurred. The Treasurer also promised to reinstate the finance, to reduce the expenditure, to pay the Sinking Fund out of the loan, and this, to cap all, to crown the edifice with a complete sys tem of local governmeut. ITnat was a very nice programme, and it took with the House and the country. A majority of

members had no doubt that the promises were going to be fulfilled, that proiperity was going to be restored, and that once more there would be a return of the fine days of 1875 and 1876. Now to look (it wbat had happened. Tbe statement made to tbe House and country that last year there was a deficit of £160,999, and this year a surplus of £20,000,"was misleading, for ne mention was made, but in order to get this surplus it had been necessary to borrow £25,000. Then, if the Land Fund were properly placed before membors, it would be found that upon the transactions of the year they were short something like £30,000. That was the real position of the matter, and he wisked to impress it on the House. Then, had the depression improved? We were told on highest authority that there wore satisfactory signs that the depression had begun to pass away. The member for Ashley, in proposing tha Address in Reply, said he believed tbe de pression waa passing away, but ho iMojtr Mkinpon) would like to have the hon. member in the witness box, and ask him about liis own neighbourhood. (Hear.) The country was in a much more calamitoui position than it was this time last year. There were no signs of the depression pas sing away, and it was only mocking the country to toll them that it was (Hear, hear.) He would venture to say that all right-thinking men, after reading the State ment, would say that the depression waa deepening, and was worse than it waa a year ago. Then, as to the Premier's promises. It would be found from the twelve clauses mentioned in the estimates that instead of a saving of from £80,000 to £100,000 as promised, there had been an increase of £60,000. The Native Minister had been particularly pointed out as the man who was to effect this saving. Taking first the Armed Con stabulary, there was an apparent saving of £13,000 in the department Officers had been increased, and the men desreased, the result being very great discontent among the lower grades of the forco, and undor the item " Police " there' was an increase of £4,000, and for artillery, engineers, and torpedo corps, practically a branch of the A C. under anothor name, £25,000 was asked for. Then for Volun teers, an increase of £11,000 was provided for in the Kstimates. Thus, while on the one hand there was a total decrease of £13,000, on the other hand there were in creases which, deducting savings, left a total increase in the department of £20,000. The additional vote for defence purposes might bo tho "unforeseen circumstance " which Ministers would urge, but he could not help thinking that for these purposes there had been a great deal more expenditure than was necessary. In the Survey Department there was an apparent saving of £40,000 J but, looking into tho matter, it would be seen that £10,000 was transferred to the Department of the Minister for Mines. Then, it would be found, there was charged to other de partments £16,500, a sum which, by the way, ho failed to see in the Estimates. This transference was no reduction. The work was done, and merely charged to another department. Thus there was only a saving of £17,000, while tho total increase in anothor way was £20,000, so that in the two depart ments there was aloes of £9,000. As to education, ho wanted to know where was the belter article at a much less cost that the Treasurer spoke of at ABhburton ? It appeared ho had some scheme, but tho Premier would not let him bring it in, because they disagreed on some principle, and ths Premier had completed a scheme of retrenchment in other de partments; but tho Treasurer would not let him bring it in. That was the result of the present coalition. (Laughter.) The hon. gentleman proceeded to speak of the ■Inscriptions of Stock Act as a dishonourable Act, and inquired what cause there was for the loan to bo inscribed, and he next criticised the financial proposals of the GoTornment. The incroased taxation pro posed meant at least a quarter of a million. As to tho Property Tax, they had been told by tho Treasurer it was obnoxious, it was the one thing standing ia the way of the progress of the colony, and yet the Treasurer though* to donblo it wifhout giving any reasons. The proposal wan almost smuggled into the Statement. (Laughter.) Explana tion was r«quir«d as to lh« oause of doubling this obnoxious tax, »nd even whea the ex planations ware got, he did »ot believe that tho House would grant the proposal. (Opponition cheers.) As to the local government proposals, the Treasurer had devised * plan of borrowing money in order to pay subsidies to local bodies, that tho latter might borrow further. In genious as that proposal was, he (the spoakor) did not bolieve that ths House would countenance or the country submit to it. As to the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, ho was going to make a fight ftgainet its repeal, and when the proper time arrived ha would show what its virtues were. The local government proposals, he ventured to think, would not bo acceptable to the Houso or the country. He was not going into tho question of local government, because he believed we had plenty of local govern ment. (Hear.) The proposals for raising taxation might be divided under four heads — increase of Customs, Re-imposing the Property Tax, increasing the Stamp Duties and Charitable Aid to local institution!!. The treasurer had told them that he was only going; te change the increase of taxation. .."by.... shifting—a .-littlo- of ~«i© Customß with a view to rost.or iag their elasticity. He had been a Treasurer himself, and quite understood what " restoring elasticity" means. It meant ft very considerable increase of taxa tion. The Treasurer stakes his head. His (the spoaker's) memory was moderately good, and he recollected exactly the same performance tsking place in 1874. (Laughter.) Referring to the duties, ho caul ho was not n Free Tiader, and not ft Protectionist. (Laughter.) Ho did not think the Houso Mould pass the hon. gentleman's advances on the tariff. He" had failed te show the necessity for it. He had been glad to hear that the proposals were not cast iron, and he heped that he weuld keep-ft way and reconsider them. He twitted Sir Julius Vogel with being the man who had promoted colonial reciprocity, and yet taxed largely the only article we got from the only free trade colony in Aus tralia : he referred to New South Wales and tho coal tax proposals. Tho tariff would bear with undue weight on the working classes. If they were to have fresh taxation it should have been through the Property Tax, and t not through the Customs. The Property Tax might fairly have been raised beyond the present figure. He hoped Sir Julius Vogel would tell them how those duties would bear on the various classes of society. With reference to Sir Julius Vogel'a et»tc ment regarding the £3,000,000 loan, he showed that it had lasted out its time. (Sir Julius Vogel: It was to last till 1886.) Tho hon. gentleman was mistaken. He wanted to show that we can limit our expenditure to £1,000,000 on public works, and he was going to ask the House not to grant the Government more than £1,000,000 thin year. Supposing the additional mil lion asked tor was granted, in two years we will have spent ■ four millions of money, in addition to the enormous amount the local bodies will spend. If the House was foolish enough to pass the local government proposals, the local bodies, could raise about £3,000,000 on that, and so the colony would be starting on an enormous spending trip. He hoped the Houso would prevent the colony from being deluged with borrowed money, which it could not Bee its way to pay the interest on. It could le^d to nothing but extravagant expenditure, and he did not think tho House would consent to it, and he trusted the Government would withdraw tho proposal to borrow the additional million. He asserted that the Government had failed in its entire policy. Persona had been thrust by the dozen into the Upper House, costing the colony £2,500 a yenr as long as they chose to hold their seats, and was it likely the colony would get £200 a year out of them! i (Hear, hear.) Then let them look at the number of Justices of tho Peace gazetted. There was a belief that the appointments had been made for party pur poses, and ho claimed they had failed altogether to provide good government. Then they had failed to re-instate the finance. _The only re-instating that they had was first an increase of taxation and ex penditure. The country could stand neither. Then there was the local government proposals. The crown they had placed on the edifice they had erected on borrowod money to enable the local bodies to borrow more. It was not his place to propose anything, but he hoped the House would refuse to alter the tariff, refuse the million loan, and refuge the increase in Pro perty Tax until the estimates were reduced at least not lesa than £80,000 or £100,000. If they refused the loan and these local government proposals, they would put the Government in a fair way to fulfil the promises made last year. (Cheers.)

Sir Joxins Vi.uel replied. He said that Major Atkinson !-ad made objections, but as regarded broad points the task of an swering him would be an easy one. lie ferring to Major Atkinson's remarks about Sir Juliue Vogel's meeting at Christchurch, he said no doubt ;the hon. gentleman was envious of the character of nis (Sir Julius

Vogel's) colleague*. Aft«r dealing witb other statements, be claimed that the Government had performed all they promised, and their expectation had been entirely realised: and he pointed out that while the Government 1 bad a surplus of £20,000, the Atkinson Ministry had a deficit of £160,000. The hon. gentleman and his friends had in dulged in gloomy vaticinations as to the re sult of dispensing with the Sinking Fund but he claimed that it had not affected the credit of the colony, and bad been a finan oial success, and he nccused Major Atkinson of being annoyed at his (Sir Julius Vogel's) estimate proving correct. He alaimed that the depression now existing waa different to the depression that existed last year. This year it was caused by the low price of wool and wheat, and partly by the war scare, while last year it was caused, not by want of money, but tho entire want of confidence by constant gloomy pictures drawn by the Government, the no hope held out of in). provement period. Last year wag-ian anxious one, and he had doneasmvich as he could to restore confidence. The savings banks returns, showed that when his prede cessors were in power the withdrawals had a tendency to exoeed deposits. Whe.nhe4nd his friends came into power, the deposits began to exceed tho withdrawals, the de. posits in excess for two months of this quarter being £24,000. iCbaen.) Ha claimed that the colony was in a better condition than 19 out of 20 other countries or colonies that they knew of;- Major Atkinson had stated that the estimates were £50,000 more than last year, '*'-"' This was accounted for alone by ' the defence expenditure, and by the Property Tax valuation. Major Atkin son had confessed that he cannot see the value of the conversion, but he showed that at the end of seven years they would save i per cent, on the annual charges. Refer ring to tho necessity of increasing the taxation instead of borrowing, Major Atkinson had said that bis ingenuity wa» surprising ) but after listening tothe Bpeech it seemed to him that Major Atkineou' ''■" waß attempting to fasten on them the charge of borrowing whioh rightly belonged to his hon, friend. His ingenuity tyag ; surprising. Regarding tho tariff, there wore- , some items that the hon. gentleman would r not be pleaeed with, but he claimed that the increases were not oppressive. He twitted Major Atkinson with the carelessness of his tariff in 1882. One of the items admitted free was tailors'trimmings, and undor that heading nearly every article of , wearing apparel was introduced.'As' to tho tax on coal, ho conceived that at the present time local coal was placed at a great disadvantage compared with that • imported, but whether the House had come to the conclusion that the time time hadar rived when the latter article should be ' taxed, he could not say. Certain it Was, that the time must come, aooner or later, when the House would require to consider th c n ecesfity of placing local producers on the '■':■;: same footingas the importers of foreigneoal.' It was estimated that tbe increased taxation from property and stamp* would yield £200,000. " So far as they could estimate it,. .'" the Customs would increase the revenue by £70,000, and the other items'about £18,000, Regarding tho recent appointments to the Upper House, aa reform in its constitution > j was necessary, the Government did not think it right that consideration should bogiven to the subject withoutliaving a f nil'Hoii£e> 1 There wero so many vacancies Inet session that these were filled, It was impossible to get sufficient members to give a fair terri torial representation. So far as their hiving;-T boon party appointments, some of those ; called had been voting and acting, in'this - Chamber consistently againßt the GoTern-; -:\. ment. He did not think it necessary to detain the House any longer. TheGoyeni<r ment had brought down all their-,I'pro*, posals, and he thought he had showd that co far as taxation was concerned,'.•. it wob only raised witb a view to stop1 hi ther borrowing year by year. In conoid-' sion, ho viehed to say that there wasuiita siugle question that tho Govemmjl^ijid '■ not considered and dealt with so fariuthoj were able to. Burning questions1 Wfysen . allowed to go on year niter year, such M hospitals and charitable aid, dealing with tho local bodies and other?, butittiese had been boldly considered by the Government^ - and they had brought down measures deal-. ing with them. Of course, the Government;"':.; were not infallible, but he said they bad vV' industriously applied their best ehi)eayoms^ fx> those difficult questions whioh-.-Bad'sK' been allowed to fester year by year, r Thoy's ';, had made no attempt at disguise, and, in->" stead of introducing the measured bit by bit, had thrown on the floor of j the House tho whole of Ihoir policy s bills. Their financial policy went in tho direction that so many membors effect ually believed in, viz.j checking tho indta criminate habit of borrowingi and bo hoped that the House would not see reason tqconv demn thoir measures as the member; for : Egmont had done. (Applause.) • ,1 The usual ten o'clock adjournment her*.--; intervened. . On resuming, Mr Wakbfieid eaid tint [k the Treasurer had charged tbe member for., Egmont, and the House generally, with .: having shown bad taste towards"tteni t»l§j| allowing the Governor's speech tfljjo un challenged, find then proposing to criticise the whole policy of the Government on .this occasion. It was quite parliamentary, i» submitted, to discu.«s the tpetfch on tt>» present occasion. He denied that in pMS' ing the AddroM-in-Keplv without debate the House had given tho Government • r olean bill of health. All they had done was to grant provisional pratique, and how the' process of fumigation was being eani" on. He hoped that they would emtrge from it clean. (Lnuphter.) ThoTrea'Urer't speech was disapponting, and the only OS; casion whero •he rose to. his';natural, eloquence lost its force from the fact -.that' the speaker was not sincere in referring to tho Government's action in placing tnfl colony in a state of dsfence. It was a grievous admission to have to make that the colony was now in a more doprcsstd state than it was a year ago, and Iho Treasurer, in stating that the depression was pasting' away, showed positive iprnorancsof tbe stale of tha country which he undertook to rule, and over whose finances he presided. O&ta were selling at fid per bugheltn the Interior of Ofcago. (ThisremarkwasreceivedwitbqnM tionable faith by Ministerial snpporter«['apa ; ; Mr Wakefield, on being pressed to narasthe district he referred te, was unable to do«o. , Mr Fkrgcs, however, came to his rescue^ and answered, "Mamototo and Wariaka,1 while Mr AI.
