Local Government and Taxa tion.

" Tho speaker theireferred to the quostion bf Local Government, llo'said the duty of the presont Government «aa todec9ntra!i?e, and it would be their endeavour, so long as they wore in office, to givo ovory assistance to local bodies so far as tho finances of the colony allowed, leaving to those bodies tho administration of local affairs. With re gard to taxation he believed direct taxation was necessary, if they did not have it they did not cast on tha people tbom- Beives tho feeling that they needed economy. Ho was the first to introduce it in tho colony in the Land' Tax Act of 1878. It had been said by some people that tho Land Act cast a greater burden on small fettlers than the present Property Tax. He professed he could not understand that, if a man had a farm of 500 or 1,000 acre?, nil he had to pay a tax upon was tho bare valueof the land. His land, furni ture, stock, etc., wore all deducted. Ho paid no tax on them. Under the Property Tax the small farmer paid for every improvement he effected on his house or stock. He never could under stand what advantogo was to bo gained when the Land Tax. was proposed. A po posal in the shapo of an income tax wjs made, which would have dealt with mort gagees, but that provision was lost. Free Trade and Protection. • With 'regard to the question of freo Undo and protection, ho did not know how this colony could be calied a freo trade colony, with ICi per cent, ad valorem duties. He spoko at considerable length on the opinions advocated on this ques tion, to which ho had given consider able study. Ho looked at it a3 entirely a side issue or halt" issue of the largor ques tion, as to what was the duty of tho State, which was clearly pointed our. Prospective Kcforins- Ho next roferrod to somo pratical reforms wbich tho Government deaired to carry out. They failed to carry the Reform of the Legit lative Council, because tho Council would not paes the measure. He believed tho timo would come when one chamber would beau tfi ciont for the colony, with a llevhing Conn* cil, co as to prevent any hasty legis lation. It would be fatal to raako tho Legislative Council havo constituencies the same aB tho House. 80 long as they kept tho Legislative Council =1 nominated body, tho MinUtry and the Uouso would havo control ovor it, and it would bo more amenable to what had been termed tho de mocratic sontiment of tho Country. Tho ollico should not bo for life, but tbo term of year fhould be, ho thought, eovon years. After referring to the Blurs cast on tho dolotiV by retired colonists atid tuch men ns !?roudei ht> proceeded to eiloiv that the cause Bf tho low p'rico tbtnihed for tho last loan hnu been, not theeeizuropf the sinking fund, bub tlio result of the unfair criticisms of such papers as tho " tondon Standard." He spoko at length on the Civil Service Reform Bill introduced last session, pointing out tho advantages offered in the way of reform, and indicating the absurdity of tho action of tho Op position members for finding fault with tho Government for not paes iug 11 measure which tho Opposi tion themselves had voted against. It wn fcho intention of (he Government to reduce expenditure as far as possible, and thoy hoped to be able noxt session to show this to tho House by groatly reducod esti mates. Their objict would be to reduce taxation as much as possible, so that the small farmers and manufacturers should not bo cullod upon for more than waa absolutely necossary for the requirements of tbo colony. In conclusion, Sir Kubart, iv an eloquent aud fervid peroration, impressed upon his audience the necessity of political educa tion.

A unanimous vote of thanks was ac corded tho Premier by tho audience.

Indignation at Dunedin.

(l!V TELKIiKAI'H—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Di/nedin, this day

There is a widespread feeling that there has been a miscarriage of justice in Hall's case. Intense indignation is felt here at the result. The '' Star" says :-"It is a matter for regret that a criminal should escapo the consequences of his acfo through o mero technical defect. That the verdict of the jury was a just one few will be found to question, nor will puplic opinion be af fected by the decision of the Appeal Court. A greater scoundrel than Hall never eecapod the punishment due to his misdeeds. Such ( feeliDg, we are sure, is universal through out the community." Wellington, this day, A Legal Scandal. The " Post" accepts the judgment of the Court of Appeal as law, but says it is not nccording to common sonso or jußtice, It calls on Parliamont to amend the law so that such Bcnndals may be impossible in future. In Civil cases, a point over ruled would only mean a new trial, while in criminal case? the criminal escapes altogether.
