PRE-SESSIONAL POLITICS.

Mr F. J. Moss at Newmarket,

Mr F. J. Moss, M.H.R, for Parnell, ad dressed a meeting of the electors of New market last night in the district hall. Despite the heavy rain which was falling, there was a good attendance. Mr W. J. Suiter was called to the chair, and briefly opened tho proceedings.

Mr Moss, after an allusion to the in clemency of tho weather, said it would not be nocesaary to go at any length into the history of the session, as be had already given an account )f it when meeting them at the Parnell Sail. Ho had spoken strongly of the pal pable jobbery which had, he hoped, reached a climax last session, and which, if un checked, could not fail to bring disaster on the country. The blame rested greatly with those constituencies who made it a settled principle that their representatives should make evory consideration of public policy subordinate to securing for them, by hook or by crook, tho largest possible amount of public money. As a necessary rcßult, itwasbocomingalsoasettledprinciplo with Ministers to make use of this cupidity, ami by coaseloss additions to tho public dubt, manipulate majorities to keep them selves and their supporters in power. Many members felt strongly on this mibject, and would be as glad as he should be to nee the end of tho present system. They were not, ull, however, so fortunate in representing a district which required but little from tho Goneral Oovernmont. Even of that little he had boon largely rolievo'd by the enorgy and porsevornnco of tho Chairman of tlioir Road Board, Mr Suitor, to whom ho was bound to say thoy owed much more in securing attention to their local wants than to himself. As a specimen of the work of the session, he should ask thoir attention to the Duntroon and Wakotoramea Railway, which a company of wealthy men had formed with a nominal capital of £150,000 in 15,000 shares of £10 each, but had suc coodod in building by a call of only Od on each £10 sharo, yielding a cash capital of £370. Thia was a feat which, of course only rieli mon in groat credit could accomplish. Tho lino had answoied the promoters' purposo by increasing tho valuo of thoir land, but it loft thorn with largo liabilities, and was not likely to pay ovon working ox poiißos for years to como. Having a white elephant on thoir hands, tboy used all thoir groat influanco to transfer tho burden to the people of the colony. Thoy hoard a great deal about "poor ratepayers" who wero to bo relieved by tho colony taking over this and other district railways. Ho had urged roforenco to a Select Committeo to ascertain tho foots, but was outvoted. They had, howovor, ascertained at the close of the sosaion that tho " poor ratepayers " in connection with one thorn, the Waimca Plains Railway, owed £4,G00. Of this tho groat company that promoted tho railway was liable for £3,100 on tho lands it had not succeeded in soiling, whilo tho remaining £1,500 was divided among 500 porsona, to whom tho Company had sold allotments in its towns, and farms in its country aoctiona. Tho whole of those district railways were club bed togothor, and with thorn was thrown in tho Rotorua Railway, tho East and West Coast.NelsonßailwayjtheWestportHarbour Endowment, and other measures in which a great number of different constituencies wore interested. The Premie* W^prmed the House that Ministers had dotaminod to carry out all their measures or none, and hon. members, oach fearing his own par ticular district would suffer, swallowed the Premier's throat, and pulled tho Ministry and its measures through, Tho Wcstport Harbour Bill, placed £500,000 at tho disposal of the small population in and around that favourer] spot. Why half a million had been fixed upon no one could say. Sir John Coode had reported that £00,000 would bo enough in any case for years to come, and ho be lieved that if Westport had not fortunately or unfortunately been tho centro of opera tions to a poworful Southorn coal-mining company, evon that £60,000 wouldcnly havo been given gradually, and after careful investigation by a committoo. The opera tions of tho coal company had not in tho past boon successful, and its shares had fallen low in tho market. But this Harbour Bill had raised them immediately, and in that respect, as woll as in bringing strong support) to Ministers, tho bill had boon a success, Tho East and West Const nnd Nelson Railway wont through a country generally wild and mountainous, but said by somo to contain rich valloyß and lino grazing areas. It was almost certainly rich in coal, gold, and other minerals, but the railway was most unlikely to pay for long years to como. To wards its construction public land to no less a valuo than £1,250,000 had been dovotod, and this, it was estimated, would absorb 2,000,000 acres. A groat corporation would bo created, and if tho .undertaking proved a white olophant, it, too, would bo trans forrod to tlio patient people of the colony. Thoso groat measures wero passed by a wearied Houso,|at tho end of a wearying ses sion ; and ho maintained that it was, in any caso, an injustico of tho rankest kind to tho country to pass them without a searching preliminary inquiry by a select committee. Tho district railways wero to be bought. That; was settlod, but thoy would have to settle tho prico next session, and ho hoped tho constituencies throughout tho colony would koop a watchful eye on what might bo done Tho original proposal of the Government was to tako thorn at thoir original cost prico with all arrears of rates duo to thorn. But from this thoy wore saved by the firmness of Tho Legislative Council, which throw out the bill when it came bo foro them. Thoy wero awaro ho bad al ways maintained that a second Chamber was an absolute necessity, and in dealing with tho District Railway Bill tho Council bad done good servico, which ought not to bo forgotton when its reform was undor con sideration. Ho disapproved of tho whole salo creation of Legislative Councillors made during tho recess. Ho belidvod in making the tonuro of a Councillor six or nine years instead of for life. But "ho preferred a nominated House, with powor of adding without limit to its numbors, to any system of election yet proposed. If they elected the Council directly by the people, the necessary extent of the several olectoral districts would make a contest too costly and too laborious, and if thoy limited its numbers without some other check, thoy would have deadlocks like those that had occurred in Victoria. Ho hoped nomination would thereforo continue until they had settled tho question of local government on such a popular basis that tho Councillors could bo oloctod by local governing bodies appointed in thoir turns, not by tho rate payers, but by the whole pnople. A peculiar and important feataro was the Attitude of the Opposition. Undor Major Atkinson as its leader, the Opposition had been Btrangely quiescent throughout tho session. Its inaction had done much to lull the country into its pre sent apathy, and to make people believe that all was right when groat wrongs were being done. He was glad to sco that several Southorn members nad denounced these wrongs, and that only last week Colonel Trimble, of Taranaki, had addressed his constituents in tho samo strain ; while Sir George Grey had also spokon, and would awaken attention in places where less pro minent members would not be heard. Ho could not tell them why Major Atkinson had taken this course. Somo said it was in viow of the ultimate alliance with Sir Julius Vogol, tho hope of which many of his supporters openly indulged. Others attributed it to tho concessions ho had himself made with respect to tho district railway, when in office. Others believed ho was only too glad, as a question of " tactics," to got out of the way of those troublesome questions that had subjected his own Government to a pressure which, to his credit, he had largely resisted. At all events, the Opposition had signally failed in its first duty of criticising tho Govern ment measures and sounding the alarm when alarm was so plainly necessary. Ho hoped to ape a great change in this respect at the coming session. Federation with Australia had been brought forward by the Govern ment on the very last days of tho session. Ho had opposed it to tho utmost of his ability, holding that Now Zealand would act most unwisely if she parted with her present independent power of regulating tho tariff, the land laws, tho laws of inheritance and of real property, the influx of alien races, and other high affairs of State, and transferring them to a Pedoral Council, in which countries differing in physical character and in many of the conditions of life would largely preponderate. They could continue to cherish the kindliest feeling towards Aus tralia, and in his belief would do so more successfully while not mixing up their affairs with that of the big continent so different In many vital respects to their own insular country. Federation of the Empire was an idea grand enough to fire the dullest imagination. He hoped it would come one day, but the difference between their mm

1 social and political condition, and that of the old country, was too great to permit federation at preHent. England waß a country of sharply-marked classes with a jermanent governing minority, and with an nnpaid and therefore necessarily unre presentative Parliament. Long habit made :he people at Home accept these conditions, and old traditions controlled and guided their operation. But to colonists they would be unbearable, and great friction, and possibly ill feeling, would result. Better be content with the loyal affection und the pride in their common country which now united them to the Empire in bonds stronger than any mere papor federation could create Leaving thene large questions, he would refer to the an nouncement made recently by Mr Larnach that one of the measures to be proposed would be A Land Tax. They knew nothing as to the nature of the proposal, and he could not therefore discuss it. Sudden large changes either in taxa tion or in legislation were to bo cautiously approached. Such changes always entailed a certain amount of individual loss, porhapa of sufforing, and were only warranted when of clearly preponderating benefit to the whole community. Ho should vote for any system of laud taxation likely to discourago njieculation in land nnduly raising its value, 01' throwing unduo impediments in tlio way of its beneficial occupation. But as states men, bound to act justly to all, they must remember that those who had so speculated were acting strictly within their legal rights and in perfect accordance with tlia public sentiment of the time. Any land tax should therefore be of thelighto&t character and only gradually increased, gfljiliat those affected might adapt thomsolraS; to tho now condition. They had abund«n«o of iimo for this bofore them, for with the present population and large area of Now Zoaland, thero was no pressure for lcknd, and there was not likely to be till the homo market for landed produce had been groatly in creased. He believed that this tax could be regulated with groator judgment and discrimination by local orders than by the' Genoral Government. Ho did not boo why such bodies should not evon have the power of taking at a fair valuation any lands which wero lying neglected and unoccupied, or were in any way impeding tho progress of the towns or districts. The Alienation of Lands Bill was ono of the moasures ho had hoped to see become law last sossion, but the Go vortimont, though professing what are called liberal principles, treated it with marked disfavour. The bill was introduced by Mr Connolly, Ministor of Justico in Major Atkinson's Government, and was designed to prevent entail, and tho looking up of land by similar devices. Tho bill lapsed, but he hopod Mr Connolly would persevere and bring it up next eeseion. Ho should be glad if the samo gentleman, a well-known and roepected barrister in tho Middlo Island, weuld take up tho great question of Codifying tho Law, and so bringing it within reach of a common understanding. This had been long dono in Franco, in every State of the Amorican Union, with the Federal Laws of tho United States, and in many other populous coun tries. What they had done with tho complex requirements of millions of peoplo, we should bo able to manage with these of our six hundred thousand. Any layman taking up an Amorican law book would be struck at on«e by the simplicity of its dic tion, and the easy arrangement of its con tents. Each section is confined to a single plain proposition, tho principle is laid down clearly and concisely, and the weary repeti tion of synonyms, and tho conflict and con fusion which disfiguro our own law books aro avoided. None but a lawyer could well take this reform in hand, and it offered a splendid opportunity to anyone not too much buried in practico or too much tied to existing rules. They wore also to have pro posals for a Non-Political Railway Board. Kxporionco had taught him that non political and non-responsible wero nearly always convertible terms. In the late changes in tho Insuranco Department, they had created one of those non-rosponsiblo boards, but tho rosult was its practical con trol by tho Government of tho day, without tho old safeguard of constant oversight and direct responsibility to Parliament. Nor did ho see how this could boavoided so long as tho people of tho colony wero the ownors upon whom the consequences of bad management must fall. Tho vast interests connoctod with tho railways would make tho question of handing them ovor to any non-political board ono roquiring the most serious inquiry and consideration. A matter to which ho desired to call thoir attention was tho Registration of Electors. Tho arrangements for which wore extromoly imporfoct and unsatisfactory. It ought to be regarded as one of tho most important functions of Government, and bo placed under a proporly constituted department. But it was generally managed in some back oilico, and a petty allowance was made to eomo oflicer to look after the work. The office for this district was now in tho District Court building, but it was only opened on Tuesday anti Friday from 10 till 2. How could men busied in gaining a living all day away from town got to the office for registration ? He had represented this to tho Colonial Socrotary, but had only succeeded in gotting a concession that the rolls, after tho present revision was com pleated, should be loft at each of the telephone bureaux for Inspection. Electors could at all evonts them easily sco whether their names were on tho roll, and must re momber that if they wero not placod there some time beforo the announcement of a dissolution, their right to vote would be lost, A change in the wholo system, giving facilities for registration, but guarding against abuso, was urgent, and ought not to be neglected. Tho Dofonoo Expenditure would probably be called in question. Go vernmont had taken upon thomsolves a good deal of responsibility, but in his opinion they would havo been unworthy to hold offico if they had not done so. They must all feel more like men knowing that thoy had the means of striking a blow in their own defence, than when lying helpless at tho morny of any enemy who might surprise them. It would have been wretched if, in the recent grand uprising of tho Empire, New Zealand had failed to show her sympathy, and her earnest resolve to do hor best in maintaining the honour and integrity of that Empire against a powerful foe. If England now had peace it would be due in no small degree to tho promptitude with which all portions of hor vast Empire had armed, showing that, with ono heart and one mind, thoy were ready to make any sacrifice and faco any danger that might be necessary. He regretted that a question should have been raised as to tho capitation for efficient volunteers. They must always maintain a skilled staff and a small regular force, but their groat reliance would be on tho aid given to their regular troops by well drilled volunteers, the flower of their population and the most economical force on which they could rely. He should not venture to treat of Land Nationalisation and other specifics for the oure of all ills which from time to time oc cupied public attention. To his mind the Ono Groat Present Need of tho _ colony was simple, honest, and economical government — not a system that inflated all things, and appealed to the meanest and most selfish feelings. Power was now in the hands of the people,and they would soonmake that power felt if unjust legislation or oppression wero attempted, or if suffering of any serious kind should fall upon or move them. But he had very groat fear of the future if they did not manfully rise, and from end to end of New Zealand resolve to stop the baneful system which was fast corrupting public opinion and reacting on the Legislature of the colony. It was useless to talk of parti cular men. Experience had taught him that in this respect one Ministry was much like another, and between them it was only a question of degree. All would use the means at their command to keep themselves and thoir party in power. The only remedy waa to reduco those means, and so diminish the power and tho temptation. This waa impossible unless thoy resolved to put a limit to tho wild borrowing which had in cold blood increased the public debt from 7-i to 32 millions in 15 years of peace and plenty. They must insist on the expendi ture being kept within their moans, and even accept furthor taxation in preference to unlimited additions to the public debt and with them to tho permanent burdens of the colony. Apart from the drain to pay interest to an outsido creditor, the command of ;hese great sums of borrowed money was jringing corruption into tho Government, the Legislature, and the colony. Churches could not get rich without becoming co» ---rupt. Still loss could worldly Governments do so. The present Ministry were going faster and farther, but that was only be cause they were bolder, and because public opinion was becoming more tolerant of new practices, and people were learn ing to tely more and more on Go vernment to promote prosperity, where they used formerly to rely on themselves. The practice of depending for all progress on loans was becoming chronic'and pro

jortionaliy dangerous. The remedies were :o insist on all excopt solid, well considered, and absolutely necessary workß being pro vided out of revenue raised for the purpose, and further, to distribute over many govern ing bodies the administration of the funds now placed at tho command of tho central Legislature.and for which so many districts were eagerly scrambling. The constitution of these governing bodies would be found difficult, but it certainly was not too diffi cult to be dealt with by earnest men of ordinary experience, reading, and compre hension. His own views wero well known. He had boon strongly attached to tho old constitution, and to tho provincial system, which hud for a quarter ola century dono great and good service, under all the dangers and difficulties of colonisation in a new country. But the old con stitution had been abolished instead of being reformed, and they hail to begin de noro. The Government waa pledged to deal with local government this session, and ho should bo ready to aid, to the best of his humble ability, either tho Government or any organised party that would undertako tho task. But it must be faced honestly and earnestly, and not be used merely as a party cry, or for temporary political purposes. On a sound system of local Government, and on a fixed deter mination to limit further additions to tho public debt, it had for somn time been hi* conviction flint much of the future happiness ami prosperity of the peoplo of Now Zealand would depend. Ho should be ready to aid with heart and hand any party, however small, that would adopt this policy. Hodiil notmindbeinginaminor ity when he folt that tho minority was right Tho consciousness of their approval and confidence had strengthened him when fio placed in the past, and would, ho hoped, bj still accorded if thoy found him in similar rvos'tions in the very difficult and probably eventful session now before them. (Cheers). In answer to questions Mr Moss said (1), that ho would again advocate, as ho had already, the establishment of a post and ( money order office, etc., in Newmarket; (2), that ho would do his best to got an endow , ment for the borough to enable them to pay interest on a loan for water supply and drainage. Ho thought it likely that the borough would be allowed to use tho Domain reserve for the purposes of revonue. Mr Bishop moved, and Mr Morgan seconded, " That a cordial vote of thank* 1 bo tendered to Mr Moss for his ablo addresp, and that the electors of this part of tho ' electoral district of Parnell have full confi dence in him as thoir representative in Parliament." The proposition was put and unanimously passed.

Mr Moss briefly returnod thanks, and then on hiß motion a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman. The assemblage then dispersed.
