A NOVEL LAND SYSTEM.
The land system Of New Zealand,
according to Mr.. Jay, is entirely diff
ferent from that or any other coun-
try. Previous to the adoption of the
new plan, a number Of large tracts of
land had been gObbled up by private
individuals and the country was in a
fair way to pass inte the hands OF
landlords. The government has
adopted measures which are driving
the large land owners to release their
holdings to the government at prices
set by government appraisers. Alb
Sentee landlords are taxed twice the
rate charged residents and the tax
grows at a constantly increased ratio
as the amount of land in any invid-
ual's possession increases. The gov
eminent does not sell its land to any
body, and 1900 acres is the largest
amount it will lease to any one per-
son. II any of the old land owners
refuse to pay the tax assessed, the
government buys the entire tract at
an increase Of 10 per cent on assessed
valuation. In time the entire area
will pass into the hands Of the gov
eminent. The government recently
made a cash payment Of 81, 200, OOC
for land formerly owned by a rich
magnate known as Ready Money
Robinson
Mr.. Jay says a favOrite motto in
New Zealand is eight hours work,
eight shours' sleep and eight hours
play The government is about to
experiment on the cooperative sys-
TEN Of public works, doing away will
contractors and dividing the surplus

was at a white heat.

Outrage.

Adjutant General Tarsney, of Col
OradO, was kidnapped from a hotel
at Colorado Springs last Friday night
by masked men, supposed to be ex-
deputy sheriffs; taken out Of town
and tarred and feathered. He was
found next day at Palmer Lake, .
miles away. The actions of the Col
orado Springs police indicate that
they we're in the plot, hence there is
little prospect of their running down
the perpetrators of the outrage. The
gang of outlaws who were employed
as deputy sheriffS to help the cOrpOr
ations force unions to accept their
terms in the Cripple Creek trouble,
are undoubtedly responsible for the
diSgraceful barbality. Because Gen.
] eral Tarsney, with the militia, would
/ not permit the Denver thugs to shoot
down the miners, he is bemeaned by
all the old party papers in the Coun-
try, and the flendish deed Of last Fri.
day night is condOned and General
Tarsney made to appear as aiding the
insurrection. These papers consider
property the only thing worth de
Tending. They do not consider lives
The miners had practically surren
dered by accepting terms of arbitra
tion when the s5.OO-a-day deputie,
grew bloodthirsty and wanted to mas
sacre them.
