THE FINANCIAL DEBATE.

SIR J. VOGEL'S REVIEW OF THE

BUDGET PROPOSALS,

(by telegraph—special beportek.)

Wellington - , this day. The debate on the Financial Statement commenced last evening, and despite the inclement weather, the galleries were crowded with listeners—not a vacant seat In any of them. There was a good repre sentation of Legislative Councillors, but the members of the Lower House themselves ■were not present in such force as might have been expected. Sir J. Vogel commenced the debate. He congratulated the Colonial Treasurer on some points. From a literary point of view it was the best production that had yet come from the hon. gentleman. It was a clever production from an intellectual point of view, although he did not think it was so from a moral one. The Statemant did not endeavour to try and reconcile expenditure with revenue, and made up the deficit by unlimited borrowing. He asked \yhat would have been the general opinion if the late Govern ment had brought down such a budget in the earlier part of the year. The promises of retrenchment were not specific and were too vague, while extraordinary powers wore asked for limited expenditure for the future. The Treasurer increased the property tax by exactly the same amount as the Govern ment proposed to do, with the difference that he threw an increase on 22,000 people, while thoy placed it on 5,500 people by abolishing their exemptions, and made uptho deficiency by borrowing instead of by increasing taxa tion as should have been done. Tho Treasurer sought to make up the deficiency as large and all-embracing aa possible, and as in 1879, whatever it was, he had to borrow it in full. The Treasurer had increased tho estimates of the late Government by £75,000 odd for services which he said were not pro vided for, and then by taking off other amounts he showed a reduction of £26,400 on the estimates of the late Government. It was, however, the usual thing to effect savinge on the Supplementary Estimates, and the late Government had <saved £129,000 in this way. Sir Julius proceeded to quote figures with the object of showing that tho late administration had saved from their ap propriations £93,000 for half-year ended 30th ►September last, at the rate of £186,000 for the year, exclusive of the land fund or per manent charges. He maintained that the late Government would have come out better, with more substantial savings, than Major Atkinson's now did. Taking the whole expenditure, exclusiveof land fund but inclusive of permanent . charges, the present Government exceeded the pro posed expenditure of tho late Go vernment by £53,000. Tho Treasurer put an exaggerated character on the deficit of this and the last year, and was disingenuous about the Customs revenue, as he took off additional duties proposed, and also reduced the estimate by £35,000. Sir Julius Vogel afc this stage referred to Major Atkinson aa to whether the figures he was quoting were correct. Major Atkinson : The hon. gentleman is wrong all through, but i shall deal with him presently. Sir Julius Vogel: If I am wrong, the hon. gentleman has given us wrong figures, Hir Julius Vogel proceeded to refer to the fact that the Trcsurer had not taken into consideration the increased returns from Customs during the month preceding tho delivery of the "Statement. The first seven months justified his own estimates, the deficiency being only £6,5000. Sir. Julius entered into a long explanation relative to theposifcioh of the Sinking Fund debentures, fend concluded with a hope that the treasures understood the matter, because it eyas the duty of the Colonial Treasurer to Understand it. (Laughter.) He, would re- Ijß'nd the House of the continual abuse to j&'aich he had been subjected through *aving. saved the colony taxation to the extent of three-quarters of a million during the last three year 3. (Laughter.) Sir Julius then proceeded to refer to the pro posed reductions for the future. He did not think that the reduction of the Governor's salary meant that they would have a second class Governor. If it were the custom for Governors to be raised gradu ally from smaller dependencies to larger Crown colonies, then he believed it would be desirable to pay such a salary as would secure the services of a man of tho widest experience. Thousands of pounds had been saved by the action of a former Administra tion with which he was connected ijj fixing ' the Governor's salary and allowances by Act of Parliament. If the present reduc tions were carried into efiect, the Governor ■would not retire from Wellington to other parts of the colony unless special votes were put on the Estimates for the purpose, and the discussions of former years on this [subject would be renewed. He suggested ;that they might fix the salary at £4,000 and /specify various other allowances, providing pat the same time for a clerk to the out of the general fund. He had ran utter contempt for the proposal to re duce the salaries of Ministers, and declared : that the effect would be to hand over the of the country to political ad t'venturers. (Hear.) He was convinced that all former Ministers had left office (poorer men than when they entered upon tit. With regard to the reduction of the 'portfolios, he thought that it would suffice |to have four Ministers resident in Wellington land other Ministers in other parts of the *colonyattendingtoloealitiesat much smaller salaries. He thought it would be better to r ee ll a ll the Ministerial residences, but the allowance for house rent should not bo less (than £250. He believed from speeches he "had read that a majority of members had pledged themselves to a reduction of the 'honorarium, but he did not think it should Extend beyond the term of the present Parliament. He believed that before the next-Parliament met, a feeling would grow amongst the electors that it was a mistake to place the representation pf tho colony a * '■the mercy of thfe wealthy. Payment of members wasone of those principles which were recognisedallover the world asaffording the best protection to the democracy of/the' country. Wibh regard to the reduction of jnember/s, he thought extension of electo-,

rates meant an important change in representation, but he recognised ib was now the wish of the people that the number of members should be reduced, and he would not oppose a reduction of members by 20 or 25. He would, however, oppose any rigmarole of election tactics such as the Hare system. He thought the candi date gaining the most votes should be elected. No representative of Canterbury or Otago or Southland would refuse to support the repeal of tho Crown and Native Lands Rating Act. Sir Julius reminded the House of the large additional burdens thrown on the local todies by this repeal and by reduction of subsidies. In fact, the Government were really throw ing on local bodies additional tax atfon of a quarter of a million, which they were not capable of bearing. He predicted that an additional halfpenny of the property tax to enable local bodies to bear the enormous burdens cast upon them was dimly foreshadowed. If members consented to leave to the Government the work of effecting a revolution in the educa tion system, which would be necessary to secure the reductions proposed, they would be false to their hustings pledges, because promises were freely made that the educa tion system should not be interfered with. The reduction in the Survey Department implied a less amount of settlement. It was the duty of the Government to show the manner in which the reductions were to be made, and if the Premier pWsisted in his determination of the other m >ii not to give details of those reduction , he was very muchmistakenifhewaslefbo.jtbe Ministerial Benches to carry out the reductions. Did tho hon. gentleman mean to toll members that they were a parcel of cowards, and afraid to make the reductions ? The hon. gentleman wanted the Hoiise to pass a lump sum as an imprest vote, so that they might spend it as he pleased. He would be glad to join a few other members and question each vote, so that every item might be given, rather than agree to the voting of a lump sum. Sir Julius ques tioned the reliability of the saving of £71,000 claimed by the Government in current expenditure, and made much of the fact that Major Atkinson only promised a saving of £6;000 in four departments of which he (Sir Julius Vogel) bad had charge. So far as non political railway boards wero concerned it was the reverse of the fact that the system was becoming more popular in Victoria. The system was always popular amongst large users. Here the feeling was that railways were not made for revenue pur poses only, bub for small users aa well as largo ones. He predicted that tho change to a non-political board would prove a dangerous difficulty. The Government had no defined ideas of how the reductions in the public service were to bo efl'ected, but on the other hand the late Governmonb were carrying out a systematic plan of retrench ment. The Budget for the nexb year was a mere fancy statement, and many items should appear that were omitted. The additional interest payablo on tho two millions loan was an instance of this. Tho object was to hido the necessity for increasing tho Customs revenue. Ho objected to 2*2,500 property taxpayers being increased by two per cent, without indirect taxation being increased at the same time. Property-tax holders wero warned that directly increased Cus toms taxation was proposed the proporty tax would have to bo further increased. The Govcrnmpnt was a weak one, and had nob courage to deal with the adjustment of taxation. By a weak Government ho did not mean in regard to its personnel— -that unpleasant duty he had already had to dis charge —but in tho number uf members who supported it. The question was not one of free trade v. protection, bub of getting sufficient revenue to moeb the expendi ture. He assurod tho House that when the Stout-Vogel Government were defeated in May last, they forebore fco resign and allow Major Atkinson to be sent for be cause &fiy were satisfied that they could fortify the revenue co as to make it meet expenditure. Coming to the loan proposals, Sir Julius said ho was in tensely shocked at the cool manner in which tho Premier discussed whether or nob he would divert tho North Island Trunk Loan from the purposes for which it was intended. The guarantee which it was proposed togive not to borrow for three years from March next wasa very dangerous course, and would lead to the entire cessation of public works For at least one year before the three years expired. The mere fact ot such assurances having been given woe not calculated to increase the price that would be got in going to the English market. He (Sir Julius Vogel) was entirely favourable to limiting the expenc'ibure of borrowed money, bub he recognised the necessiby of completing from borrowed money bho Ofcago central lino as far as Middlemarch and closing the gap between Woodville and Palmeifiton. The route of the North Island trunk line had also to be determined, and the money set apart for that purpose should be expended on it. He denied that a mil lion loan was necessary, and declared that half a million was all they needed at present. The Budget proposals of the Government were of an alarming nature inasmuch as an attempt was made to put the whole cost of the deficit on borrowed money. He would not embarrass the Government or throw unfair responsibilities in their way in regard to dealing with questions at a distance. He regarded with unmitigated astonishment the proposal to make the nominee branch of the Legislature tho most powerful branch. When a conflict occurred an opportunity should be given of swamping or threatening to swamp the Legislative Council in order that the popular will should have its way. By saying that a certain number of mem bers could nob be exceeded supremo power was given to the nominee chamber He was informed that the Governmenb were so ashamed of their proposal bhab they now stated they< did not mean an ab solute limit, bub merely intended to intro duce the Norwegian principle of bringing in both Houses together in cases of dis agreements. Tho Pensioners' Setblements scheme would have to be considered with great caution, especially in regard to old soldiers. As regarded bhe question of land eebblement, he should not discuss ib that evening, bub he admitted that there was no subject on which the House ought to be more anxious to help any Govern ment than on that of Maori legisla tion. In regard to mining, under the mass of verbiage thab was employed all he could make out was that there was no intention to abolish the Schools of Mines. The question of non - political Railway Boards would have to be considered separately. In conclusion he denied that the Governmenb had a majority, and said that Major Atkinson was allowed to retain office on the principle thab ho was the lesser of two evils. (Laughter). The country was in this position at the present time, that it wanted a very strong Govern ment. From Victorian experience he had conpluded that a strong Governmenb which would boldly declare its views was an essen tial, and he denied that such now existed. He did not doubt that during the course of this debate there would yeb be another opportunity of speaking, and meanwhile he had to thank tho House for the kind atten tion ib had given him.

The Minister of Education (Hon. G. Fisher) said the speech just delivered was one of the hon. gentleman's weakest efforts. (Opposition cheers.) It was a characteris tic speech, and dealt mainly with financial abstruseness. He denied that the retrenchment proposals of the Government were a sham. Asa matter of fact the late Ministry had increased the cost of the Government of the country at the rate of £100,000 a year, and when they left office the cost of Government had increased by £400,000. Ministers had placed before the House a- policy of which the

leader of the Opposition could «©fc dis approve, and therefore he (»»r J. Vogel) found himself in an unenviable position. The speaker denied thab there would be a loss to the country by no altera tion in the tariff during the present session, and said the country would be greatly bene fited by the stability of its trade, and there beino- an absence of those constanb up heavals which had taken place during the past'three years. Ho reminded the House bhab in their retrenchment proposals the Government had laid it down thab no wages man should be reduced, and that the salaries of those drawing less than £150 per year should nob be curtailed. The blame of bbc second session belonged to the Opposition, inasmuch as they had plunged the country into a general election at a cost of £30,000, an -amount which would pay the salary of a first-class Governor for six years. The hon gentle man who had just sab down said that the reduction of the Ministerial salaries are excessive. He denied this, and said it was an honest and earnest effort on the part of Ministers to lift bhe counbry out of its difficulties, and to # set an example to others whose salaries were retrenched so thab they could nob cavil. (Ministerial cheers.) Then tho complainb was made bhab, if members were not paid for their services the democracy was in danger ; yeb Sir Julius described himselt aa a Liberal. To legislate for half a million people seventy members were quite suin cienb. (Dissent.) If it was true thabthe labe Governmenb made considerable savings in travelling expenses, the expenses in the past must have been of considerable magni tude. He regarded the system of subsidies as a vicious and fallacious one, and he would leave ib to the Colonial Treasurer to deal with thab question at greater length. Now he came to the education question, and in regard to it he pointed out that, according to tlio Act of 1877, the capitation was laid down ab £3 15s, so the House had had abundant opportunity of expressing its opinion. He had sought for proof as to the cost of education in other places, and found thab tho systems were all weak on the financial side. If time were given the Go vernment, thoy would show that, tnough reducing the education vote, they wero nob weakening the system, but strengthening it. Tho cost of primary education to each £100 of revenue in, somo of tho colonies was : In New South Wales, £7 17s ; Victoria, £8 9s Id ; New Zealand, £11 2s. The member for Christchurch North said tho House would bo a curse and cowards if they did not demand particulars as to the details of proposed reduobions. The House need not be under apprehension or misapprehension on bhab point, for the Government would ab the proper time undertake to explain every reduction pro posed to bo made. As to the Civil bor vice Board, Mr Fisher said that one oi its greatest recommendations was that it took out of the hands of the Government tho exercise of the power of patronage, ant ho undertook to say that when tho Civil Service Board got into working order the colony would get tho best value for its money. Ho was a pronounced opponent to the raising of loans, and ho agreed that the whole policy of tho Government would have been more heroic if the loan proposals had boon left out; but in view of the finances of the country and the works it was committed t:o, a loan, was inevitable and unavoidable as they wore under the dire necessity of savin? the credit of the colony. Whether their policy met with approval of the Houso or not it met with the unquali fied approval of the country from end to end, and if tho Government wero strong in the Houso they were much stronger in tho ' country. (Mr Seddon : Stronger with the newspapers). In conclusion, he made an • earnest appeal to members to put aside personal and party feelings, and make strong efforts to raise the country from the difficulties in which it now was. Mr Ballance eaid Mr Fisher h'afl just poned as a Radical member of the Cabinet, and had stated that the Governmenb had > touched the proporty classes through the i property tax, as then , sympathies wero in that direction. He fully expected that every i member of the Government would come out i in the same manner, and that they would i prove full-fledged democratic-Ministers. Ho contended that Mr Fisher had not replied lo ) the speech of the lato Treasurer, and he i combated tho statement nude that the Go : vernmerit did not intend to touch the wages iof working men. Ho gave a distinct denial i to the assertion that Sir R. Stoub had ever i stated that he expected his Ministry would > come back in a minority. He condemned i the reduction of Ministers' salaries, and • said the reduction should only be tem > porary, and nob of such a sweepiner character. With respect to Mr Fisher's ' advocacy of a reduction in the number of 1 members, he pointed out that his views did ' nob agree with those of the Premier, as that hon. gentleman in 1881 deliberately iu creased the number from 86 to 95. How ever, if reports were correct, the Premier intended to reverse much of what he had previously done, as he intended supporting 1 the repeal of the Triennial Parliaments Bill and other Liberal measures which he had been ■ instrumental in passing. He referred ab i some length to the education question, and i said bhe Governmenb' proposals were most > illiberal in character. The retrenchment ■ question to his mind was a great question ' of policy, and the House was entitled to full £ particulars of the proposed savings. He defended thevillagesottlemenbsscheme.and > said there hod never been more pains taken > with any scheme than this to give tho • fullest information to the House. Not one • single penny had been spent beyond the ' vote of the House, and he maintained thab i nothing constitutionally wrong had been ' been done, because the House had re ceived all possible information on tho • matter. With respect bo Railway Boards, " he said ib was nob a fact that bhose Boards in- Victoria had been an un- I qualified success, and he was not at all sure that an expert in the Railway Board would escape the censure which Ministers received. He thought the Board would not work at all, and there was no occasion to go to other countries to import men for this office. He asserted that Sir J. Voxel's remarks as to the now loan were misunder stood. That hon. gentleman's opinion was that a million and a half was necessary for present requirements, being half a million more than was wanted for the North Island Railway. He defended his adminis tration of the Native Department, and referred to the position of the land fund at some length. As to the payment of members, he maintained that the present honorarium was not too large. He was also opposed to a reduction of the Governor's salary, and he expressed the opinion of many people when he said a Bill to give effect to this reduction would not, be assented to at Home. He thought the re trenchment proposed by Ministers in many instances was in the wrong direction. Mr Pearson moved the adjournment of the debate till next sitting day. /

Agreed to. . The House rose at twenty minutes past twelve.

In the ante-room a very beimpbing display iof good things filled the babies, presided over by Mr Philip, of Victoria-street, who was the caterer, and gave complete satisfac tion.
