twenty-five per cent of the rate-payers
(occupyer of land as owner, or as
tenant with a title of at least six
months), when a vote must be taken
in three to four weeks as to 'the adop
tion of the rating on unimproved
valued act 1896. This, if adopted by
a bare majority of valid votes cast,
provides that the local taxes calcul
ated as to total upon the capital sell
ing value, not over 1Y per cent and
usually much less, must be allocated
in proportion to the site value of each
- lot, There has never been any taxa

and low as a rule.
Single Tax Contests.
The contests at there polls are, as
a rule, on absolute single tax lines and
of great educational value. Here, as
everywhere, the name of single tax
is very unpopular, though the Seddon
policy is on definitely single tax lines
and is unalterable, even opposition
demanding more land tax in many
cases now. The steps are (1) aboli
tion of the "property tax" 1891 on
personalty and realty.- This was most
bitterly fought. Premier Ballance had
to flood the upper house with thirteen
new members, introducing a seven
year term in place of life appointment
and then the governor, Earl Onslow,
a great landlord, resigned rather than
j pass or sign such a law, as we British
have no governor's veto in practice!
and a limited royal veto on foreign
policy. This proved the vast value of
the English system of an appointed
council of unlimited sibe, as against,
like your senate, leading to direct
legislation by appointment of every
voter to the higher endorsing, tut
not revising chamber. See the point?
The next step was in 1893 when all
taxation on improvements was re
mitted, and optional remission by lo
cal bodies proposed , by government
bill. The next in 1S95, when parlia
ment refused on a tariff bill almost
all increase and reduced heavily many
tariff t'xes, some against government
proposals. The next in 1896 when
the government set up a department
to value all real property, since per
fected, as it was found previous local
body valuations favored the great
land owners unduly; and after three
rejections by the upper . house the
rating (local tax) on unimproved val
ue act was passed (the local option
law so often spoken of). In 1899 the
adoption of that act was made by
majority of votes cas , repealing a
provision that one-third of the roll
must vote for a valid poll, which al
lowed foes to win by staying away
from the polls. In 1900 heavy reduc
tions were made in tariff again, and
postages were reduced. .
