A HEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS

Roport by tlio Honso of Koprosontatlvos.

(BY T1.1.1MK.-l-ll -I'AKMAMENTAKT Rl.rol-_.l-l-.)

Wei.mn.itox, (his day, Tut: Select Coinmittco appointed to con i-idor the advancos on land brought up

their roport to-day. It is as follows; — "Ono of the chief drawbacks to the full and successful development of the agricul tural ami pastoral resources of New /.calami by men of limited moans is the high rato of interest on mort gage, and tho extent to which such interest is withdrawn from the colony by absentee mortgagees. From the state ment apponde 1 hereto it will bo -eon that the n.iinber of mortgagees in Now Zealand for sums ranging from £100 to £1,000 ouch is ,-!'.',7fiS, representing a total amount, of t'lo,-1 Hi.liTii. The number of mortgagees over ._'!,OUO and under C-,000 is 6,034, tbo valuo of which tho Committeo have been unable to ascertain. A very largo propor tion of these mortgages aro hold on tho security of land, and probably it will not bo beyond (ho mark lo estimato tho average rato of interest on such loans, inclusive of the co-t, at not less than H por cont nnd often much higher ratos havo to bo paid These figures will servo to indicate the largo extent to which relief would bo afforded if tho rate of interest could be reduced to I per ocnt. or oven .. per cent. From information boforo tlio Committee it. is ovident'tkat groat benefit has beon derived in various countries from loan advances by tho Stato on tho security of land-notably in Prussia, whore tho system of making advances on land at a moderate rato of interest by means of Stato notos, which are legal tender, was initiated about the commencement of tho century, Loans on a similar principle have boon pro vided for by statulo in sovornl of tho North American Statos, among which may bo mentioned Now York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, Without further proface, your Committee is of opinion that tho public credit; of Now Zealand might, with advan tage, bo applied towards enabling sottlors on tho security of land to acquire advances a.a comparatively low rato of intorost Such advances might bo niaiio through the Land Transfer Department, in sums not exceeding ..'J,(100 to any ono individual, for any period not exceeding ton years, the rato of interest to bo i{\ per cont. per annum, tho amount of such advance not to exceed one-half of tho valuo as fixed undor tho Property .Assessment Act, tho mort gagor to bo ontitlod to cancel tho mortgago at any timo on payment of principal and interest to dato of cancellation. This solo instrument of mortgago should be tho ciiflorsation thereof on the certificate of titlo and its registration in tbo Land Transfer Ollico books. Tho amount advanced should be paid in Now Zealand Government dobon tures of not less than £100 oach, bearing in terest at the rato of 4 por cont. per annum, with a currency of fifteen years, principal and interest to bo payablo eithor at tho Colonial Treasury or the Bank of England. Seeing that tho session is now so far ad vanced, tho House may probably bo unablo to coii-idcror discuss tlieforogoing proposals at tho present timo, and oven woro it othor wiso tho subject is ono of such vast import ance in its bearing upon tho futuro pros perity of Now Zoaland that it may perhaps be well to all'ord public opinion throughout tbo celony an opportunity ol expressing it self upon tho question before any defi nite action is taken thereon Tho re port will sorvo so far to venlilato tho proposal, and your Committeo would express a hopo that iho Executive Go veriiinont may, during tho rocess, proparo a "bill dealing with the question upon tho linos embodied in tho foregoing suggestiors, such bill to bo submitod to Parliament at the commencement of noxt session.—.l.

MATTERS BEFORE PARLIA MENT.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

WiixlNdTON, this day. The sitting of tho Houso of Representatives yesterday afternoon was occupied entirely with tho Auckland Harbour Board Bill in Committee. (Tho result is given under a special heading else where.) At the evening tfttmg, the Property Assessment Bill was again 'ken up in Committee, and passed through with amendments. Tho pno ci-al alteration made was the strik ;,,'„ out of tho clause exempting »_?>« cultural improvements and engines. An effort was mado to reduce tho foUU exemption, but was opposed by;tho Gown moot and was not pressed, the bill was ZlVthiid time and V-d. Thf C? o"^ Act Amendment Bill was passed through Committee with amendments and passed The second reading of the Gold Dutio- Abolition Hill was earned by __■_ to _-l. Tho Houso rose at 12 30. Bands Attending tho Exhibition.

Mr Pyko lias given notice to ask tho Go vornnicnt if thoy will place on the Supp o menturv Estimates a sullieient sum to uo fray tho soa-going expenses of tho various Volunteer band, attending the Exhibition at Wollington.

The Close of tho Sossion. Tho many question, (hat aro being askod as lo when the Special Powers and Contract Bill is to bo brought down may bo regarded as an evidence that tho majority of members aro anxiously expecting tho closo of the session. Ministers hope to finish the busi ness by Saturday week, but this is doubted by many Oppositionists. I was informed by a Minister last evening that tho Public Works Estimates will be considered on Monday or Tuesday noxt.

Land Grants for Military Sorvlcos.

It would now appear that tho Royal Com mission appointed two or three years ago to investigate tho unsatisfied claims for land fur military ficrv'co. was scarcely a success. During tho present session 70 petitions for land grants for services havo been pre sented to Parliament-, and of these claims nearly one third were not examined by the Commission. Early in the session Mr Bui lance promised Mr Whyto that bo foro tho elo.o of tho session he \vould bringdown a scheme dealing withunsatutied claims, and as tho Minister of Lands has not yet kcp. his premise, Mr Whyto has put a question on tho Odor Paper asking what steps tho Government intend taking towards tho settlement of these claims.

Tlio Counoll and the Goldflolds.

Mr I'ylto (Chairman of tho Gold lielda Committee) and other f,oldlields mombor. aro wroth at tho action of tho Logislativo Council regarding tho Minos Act Amendment Bill. Mr Pyko says tho amendments mado havo completely destroyed the measure Tho " i'ost" says : ' The hostility which the Legislative Council eei/.ea every opportunity of showing towards the mining industry of tho colony is one of the most curious features in New Zealand politic, that hostility has found fresh and pronounced expression in tho nmondmonts mado in tho bill under notice. Tho Government, wo boliovc, will not agree to accopt Iho amendments ; they will prefer to abandon (ho bill, and rightly so. Probably, however, thero will bo a free expression of opinion in tho Houso rogard ing the policy ot tho course udoptod by tho Council."

T-__Eli_K Away Saturday

As you are already aware, Saturday next has been lixed by the (lovorninent for a do hato on the federation question, and Mr Stout has given notice to movo to tho effect that the colony do not join tlio federation of Australia, as proposed in tho pro sent Federal Council Act. Yesterday afternoon th.ro was an animated di-cus.'ipn on the desirability of tho Govern meet taking up Saturday, tho only holiday members now have, for tho debate One member thought that as tho Island Bay races took place on Saturday afternoon, there would bo n dilliculty in keeping a quoium. Sir (leo. Grey also opposed the taking of Saturday, on tho grounds that numbers woro worn out during tho week with late sittings. Ho pointed out that whilo bo was then spoaking four members were fast nsloop in their plueos. Thero was a great, deal of force in what Sir George Groy said. Many members looked fagged out, and, judging from tho frequency of green goggles on members' noses, it would appear that weakness of tho oyos is a provident complaint.

Tho Slud«o Channel. Another week's extension of timo is likely to bo asked for by tho Kuniara Sludgo Chan nol Disqualification Committee. MrSeddon, who has called a number of witnesses, will probably clo.o his caso this week. Ho saems satisfied that ho o«n prove that ho hud no interest in tho work, and that thore is no contract within tho moaning of tho Act.

Bankruptcy Act. Tho Legislative Council have made two amendments in the Bankruptcy rict Amend ment Hill : Ist. That (ho timo within which tho Ollieial Aesigtieo may elect to accept debtors' property burdened with "onerous covonant " is oxtonded to two months, instead of three months, us passed by the Houso. Tho second amendment is a now clause, tho cfToct of which is that pieferontial paymonts mado within three months of bank ruptcy, " whether under pressure of creditor or voluntarily " (which aro tho words inserted by the Council), shall bo void.

AUCKLAND HARBOUR BILL.

(by TKr.-_aR_.ri..—PARLIAMENTARY kwoiotrr.)

Wellikcitok, this day. I hi_.ti;.l) yesterday that tho committal of tho Auckland Harbour Board Bill would probably be usod as a medium of " talking ont " tho remainder of Major Atkinson's no confidonco resolutions, which stood noxt to tho bill for consideratou at tlio afternoon sitting. Hon. members who know nothing and cared nothing about Auckland ex patiated lengthily on tho enormity of paying a chairman, and wasted tho time of tho Houso to so much purpose that as the clock indicated tho hour of 5.30 only 14 clauses of tho bill had been disposed of, Major Atkinson, who soon understood the reason of tho stonowalling, twitted the Go vernment with actually stononailing a bill introduced by a mombor of tho -Ministry—-to with tho Minister for Justice Despite tho stonewall, howover, samo important altera tions wero made in tho measure Tho pro posal that two of tho members of tho Hoard shall be nominated by tho Governor was struck out, and tho election of tho four representatives of tho city of Auckland and ono representative of Parnell was taken out of tho hands of tho Council and transferred to tho burgessos.

Mr S. Vaile and the minister of Works.

Mr Richardson Admits the.Error,

(by teIeoraph—PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. Recently, a Tress telegram from Auckland statod that Mr S. Vailo, tho railway reformer, had discovered an orror in tho Public Works Statement. To-day, tho Hon. Mr Richardson montkmod tho matter in the Houso.

He stated tho relative amounts to bo :C3 Os 3d for the year ondino- Hist March, 18S5, against £2 (Is lid for tho year ending 31st March, ISS4, whoroae it ought to have boon £2 15s for that year, so that the improvement was only 5s 2d in stead of 10s, as stated by him. Mr Whyto has given notico to ask tho Minister for Public Works if any reports have been mado forthe Government upon the scheme of railway management advocated by Mr Samuel Vailo, and in favour of which nui-iy thousands tit persons havo signed petitions to this iluin-e, and if so, will he lay thorn upon tho table of the Houso.

CHARITABLE AID.

Proposals by Sir_Frodoric__ Whitaltor. (BY TOM-GRAPH—PABUAMEKTART REPORTER) Wellington, this day. Sir Frederick Whitakkb has given notice in the Legislative Council to move tho fol lowing amendment to tho Hospital and Charitable Institutions Bill-,—"That in

establishing a system of charitablo aid, a clearly-defined distinction should bo drawn between involuntary and voluntary pauper ism, and With that object provision should be made—(l) For relieving tho aged, help less, and distressed, chiefly in kind. (2) No relief should bo given to thoso able to work, but in cases of necessity work should bo found for them at a rote of wages not ex ceeding one-half the ordinary wages of tho district. (3) One-half of tho funds neces sary, after deducting voluntary subscrip tions, should bo provided by rate, and tho other half for tlio present by contribution from the Consolidated Fund.

This waa, he believed, in 1883. —Thomas Wrigloy doposeJ that in ISS2 he was in the employment of Mr White, He mado out the not ices nf allot men! and duly sent them to the applicants.—Counsel on both sides addressed the Court at some length, quoting authorities bearing on tho points at issuo.

NOTES FROM ALBERTLAND.

Till-: Albcrtlnnd settlors aro nearly un animous in expressing their satisfaction and approval of tho decision of the Government to extend the North Auckland railway from Helonsvillo. No doubt tho route through Kaukopakapa is tho best for this part of tho country. There is good reason for belioving that Messrs Mitchel.on, Moat, and Hurst havo dono thoir best in urging tho Government to extend tho railway north ward from HelonsvilFo. Wo may soon sco tho land at Chalmerston settled on, now thero is a chance of a railway passing near.—As evidence of the interest taken in fruitgrowing, I notice many settlers aro planting fruit treos somewhat extensively in this and adjoining districts. On tho wholo, a good prico was ob tained for last season's fiuit, Growing fruit is better than raising stock, and getting £2 for a two-year-old steer. — Tho Rev. Mr Barley is iikoly to become a popular preacher in tho W ark worth circuit. The sermon preached in tho Wcsleyan Church, Port Albort, on August 23, was practical and useful, and his remarks on commercial morality, or rather immor ality, was a pleasing departuro from what wo often hear from the pulpit.— In all probability we shall never see Mr 11. Exley amongst us again. By now, I sup pose, ho is in San Francisco. How true it is, wo only know how to esteem a friend when wo have lost him. Mr Exley will be long remembered ns a sincere and faithful preacher, oven by those who differ from his teachings,

RODNEY COUNTY COUNCIL.

Breach of Privilege.

Ot'R Colonial Logielaluro look to tho Impe rial Parliament for guidance in matters of rule and forms of procoduro. We have seen fro.m timo to time that cur legislators at Wellington, like tho House of Commons, aro extremely jealou3 in guarding their rights and privileges. And more than once an unfortunato offender has been placed at tho bar of the Houso. But. it will tako many of us by surpriso when wo know that tho Rodney County Council,. at its meeting on Saturday, seriously discussed the question of making a by-law —in effect giving the Council power to summon anyone before thorn who should dare speak disrespectfully of the Council. I am told tho respected and respectful member for Mangawai Riding had sinned at a lato meeting in Mangawai, nnd he was nigh being taken into custody and placed at tho bar. At all events, thero was a lot of tomfoolery and nonsense talked about "broach of privilege," instead of doing what tho Council exists for—improve the roads as much as possible No wonder County Councils are anything but popular. A CORRESPONDENT.
