New Zealand will not be - far behind any of her rivals in scientic dairy- ing instructions. The Victorians have re- cognized the advance made by New Zealand during the resent season, and are already busy at wor setting their house in order. A strong board of inquiry has been set up, who will travel from one end of the colony to the other in order to thoroughly investi- gate every stage of the industry.` There is. of course, room for improvement in this colony, but advancing as we are in better methods of production, manufacture and distribution, there is no reason to doubt that New Zealand dairymen will establish for themselves a name in the British mar- kets as prcducers of the nest and most uniform classes of butter and cheese." i If II,` -The informatio: cable message in on New Zealand s batter is now considered sup.- perior to Australian on the home market, must be very gratifying to New.

In the magnanimity thus I displayed, and in the heyday of pros- P1 il5Y is it not possible if the matter is Properly placed before municipal coun- cils and the public, these oicers may be last recognized in such a way as to fairly recompense them. Why isit that the present system--I was almost saying sweating system, prevails? Who is responsible? Perhaps it might` be diicult to point to the exact cause. To me it appears to be done of faulty "education and not because municipal bodies or the public _either, for that matter, are penurious. V Taken indi vidually, as a general rule, men are willing from a sense of ' even handed justice, apart from expediency, to pay fair compensation for services rendered in any capacity. I am rmly con- vinced that if members of municipal councils gave the matter that careful "brought the matter up at this time. Pi1'i|m0n!lpeople generally, and "es? consideration and exercised their right ` and privilege` in the same untrammelled way as they do in their private busi- ness transactions, municipal officers would at once receive a very large in crease of salary. I `would ask coung oils to give thisquestion the fair and impartial consideration it demands. Are there not many telling reasons why the matter should be grappled with? What does it mean that so many ir- regularities are continually coming to light in municipal_.treasurer s accounts 2 It" simply means that these oicers generally speaking .are so poorly paid that in order. to sustain the stern" necessities of life they succumb to the many temptations that present them- selves and which are entirely unknown to the uninitiated. The bad results of paying. small salaries to oicials other than treasurers are not so apparent, but any one who has studied the matter will bear me out in saying they may and probably are quite as great. Hitherto the principle has been pay so penuriously" that the worst traits of character may be developed.` How would itdo tentatively to adopt the t British principle and pay municipal oliioers so well that they may be en- couraged to be faithful and honest ?
