Peterborougb, corner George and Murray SUBCIB: ONTARIO, FRIDAY, MAY 4TH, 1900.‘ 'land ranks high. Go Ye and 00â€"0 New Zealand has become famous dur- ing the past six years because of her radical labor legislation. She has been cursed with landlordlsm. trampism, militarism and drunkardism; but s‘c has been wise enough in the last seven or eight years to legislate them out. of existence. Time was when a few men owned the larger part of. the land. A ' land tax graduated from two to‘six cents on the pound, with an extra two cents for an absent landlord, proved to be so heavy that most of the great estates were offered for sale. The government had also enacted a graduated income tax. These two measures resulted in driving the great money lord from the country. There is not to-day one mil- lionaire and Only one man worth half a million in New Zealaud. Mr. Rohison, who had acquired 100,000 acres of land, had to sell 99,000 acres of his land. New Zealand builds her own railâ€" roads. The number of miles now in operation is about 2,200. The pay on the railroads averages about 30 per cent. higher than the wages on our Am- erican roads. an eight-hour work day. You can ride 30 miles for 10 cents, and first-class service is rendered the people. The annual net profits of the New Zealand railroads is an average of $2,250,000. The government owns the telegraph and telephone, the rates being about 500 per- cent. less than our Western Union monâ€" opoly. Both pay a profit. The gov- ernment also runs the express business for the be::efit of all the people, as well as the postal savings bank. Since the enactment of the Inbor law, known as the “Industrial Concil- iation and Arbitration Act,” with its amendments, there has not been a strike in New Zealzmd. The last session of the New Zealnnd parliament passed an act pensioning all persons over 65 years of age who has lived in the country 25 years and are of gand' character, and do not possess $2.700 worth of property or enjoy an income of $5 per week. The pension provides for $90 per year or $180 for a cOuple, man and wife. Postal savings banks are a feature in New Zealand, and are immensely popâ€" ular. Any one may deposit; sums up to $2,500-’ At present there is on de- posit iu these banks a sum equal to $45 for every man, woman and child in the country. There are no bank failures. No cashiers going to Canada or South America. The free school system of New 2:3- The law compels all children over seven and under fourteen to attend school. There are free high schools and universities. Woman suffrage is enjoyed, and it is the universal testimony that the wornon are equally interested with the men in all public affairs. The sale of malt and spirituous liquors is a matter of local option. The law, however, permits no saloon, but lunkcepers may sell under license. If a man is once seen coming from one of these Saloons in a. state of intoxication the proprietor is arrested and fined and for a second offence he forfeits hislioeuse for over. There is scarcely any drunk- enness in that country. In New Zealaud, the plain peopleâ€" the farmers and wage-earnersâ€"arc rc- preseuted in the government; bankers and lawyers do not form the majority of the legislators. There is no spoils system. Candidates are compelled to do all they promise. There are no rinvs cliques or bosses to control. In New Zoaland the land system on- ables every worker to have a home without becoming a prey for the spoon- lator. There are few tramps there. The tramp has been abolished by wiping out the cause, not by starving him out, as is sometimes suggested in the United States. Sweating dens have there become im- possible. Thc j-nils and poor-houses are nearly emptied, and to-day there is less crime. less intemperance. less poverty, less misery. fewer tramps and panp-irs, and more prosperity per capita in New Zealand than in any other country in the world. She has not stopped pro- gression, but froth now on she will on- act other wholesome laws by direct leg- islatiou.â€"Appcnl to Reason. 0-.
