The colony of New Zealand bus gaña mnoh further than any other in the direction of re- engnition of the principle of state-ownership of the oil, with tenancy rather than freehold in Occupier under the State. The Crown lands are dispont of on long lousotho Stato reaping the advantage of unearned increment, through a pregrossira land tax. By an Act of 1502 small Farm ARovations were established, and those are often confused with Village Settlements in- dor Me. Ballance's Act of 1886-wkich kas been imitated in South Australia, and now in Queens- land. A bow system known as that of the I- proved Farm Suttlements in pow taking the place af both the others. The size of the holdings under the new system averages about 100 acres, and these small farms are let on lexan in par petuity at a rental which covers the cost of Clearing, the land from forest (which is done by the State employing labour directly) together with a fair rental for the land. In 1892 New Zealand commenced the system of purchasing large states from private individuals, for enh- dirigion; and in 1801 these powers were made compulsory. Advances are inade to settlers st a low rate of interest, and have had the effect of bringing down the rate of interest generally on mortgages in the colony.

In spite of the interest with which the labour and the land legislation of New Zealand bus been viewed, and the attention which has been excited by the functions of the State being regarded with more favour in New Zealand than even in those Australian colonies in which they had been previously the most wide, the working of adult suffrage in New Zealand is probably the matter at presont connected with that colony which arongos most interest in other portions of the world.

heon aronged, that a great impulss has been given to the eñuestion of women, and to their participation in pablic affairs, the conduct of which they have improred In New Zealand, as in South Australia, the entranolisement of the women has not helped that allianos of Churches-the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Wisleyan Church which has worked against the secular education system of the colony.

Just as the Dominion of Canads best Blus tates the triumph of self-government at of the liberal principles applied to our colonial aystem by the wisdom of modern ténets, and just as Ceylon best illustrates the enterprise of men of our race lo a tropical colony, so New Zealand- may stand with these two, on at lost an qani Looting, as showing what can be done by the British peoples under favourable conditions of alimitandof soil or the development of an adl- · mirable modern community. The administra tion which is carried the greator portion of the recent legislation of New Zealand may be upset by the so-called conservative foroes of the country, but their work' will not be undone. On the contrary it will in continued by their successors. Many of what at first, were looked upon se daring experimente aDES now thoroughly rooted in the lund; for example, the Life Justus department of the State, the Pablo Trust Offles, and Compulsory Industrial Arbitration. The enterprise which the colonista abowed when, after the failure of the mother- sonatry to pat down the great netive slug, the Imperial troops were withdrawn, and the war handed over to the aloniais, who s brought it to peaceful end; has been steadily continued throughout the later history of the istauds. New Zealand has been fortunato in the contitation of race. The gottlers were per- haps a better amalgam than those of the Ans. tralian colonies. The race,se thuroughly good education now universal; the average of asaltu perhaps the highest in the world; the absence of immense fortunes complete.
