TO the Editor of The Independent:
Your letter of March II (my thirty

for special object, and have very
limited circulation.
Please remember we have only 1867
900 square miles and under 100000
population from Manikiki near the
Equator to Campbell Island, near An
arctica. The original five colonies of
Otago, Canterbury, Wellington, Hawke
Bay and Auckland are yet as mutually
hostile, as, say Nebraska and New Jer-
sey, and under twenty years ago the

collapse, business ruin and exodus of
population. We are fortunate in pos

Direct Legislation
The direct legislation movement in
New Zealand divides roughly into two
parts-separated about 1898, when
Pat" O'Regan, the ablest man in New
Zealand politics, entered parliament
Previously, it's use was the old Eng
ish and American form of requiring a
poll of electors to pass municipal
franchise, or to alter boundaries, &c,
by petition. No recognition of popu-
lar sovereignty was admitted or
thought of.
About 1893 the mo license party
took from us an fnter-party unit.
Previously liquor licenses had been
issued for each year by local COM
