l'X'Ji: SOCIALISMIN NEW ZEALAND.
' INCE THE DAYS when the. great teacher of
v , Nazareth preached Socialismto the Galileans
. ." ' nd probably long before people have dreamed
, 'and talked of the millenium of socialistic equality, and
: enthusiastic reformers have , eloquently . preached its
..beauties and benefits to a more or less susceptible pub
' lie, yet the Socialistic cult has made but little progress.
' .Socialism in its fullness will never be a generally realized
, v ' ideal, but Socialistic tendencies will appear and perhaps
; j become more potent .in the political economy of nations,
f Socialism has found Its fullest expression and fairest
7" fruitage-inr-New-Zealandr and -its -advocates -can -"point
.with pride" to the fact that there is no poorhouse, house
of refuge or almshouse in that colony. No one Is very
wealthy, as wealth is estimated in pth'er countries, nor
rare there any paupers. Idleness is looked upon as a
T crime. . There are no tramps, unless, nomadic shearers
can be called such. There is practically no thievery.

' is a reality and the toiler is honored. What a man is,
-v - - rather than what he has," measures his " worth.- There
are no trusts, no immense estates, no oppressive land

Nor can a landlord hold great areas of unutilized soil,
and thereby gam unearned increment . The government

are no enormous salaries, no meteoric , fluctuation of

carefully calculated to meet all expenses, fixed, charges,
betterments-and so on, and the people are satisfied; all
of them are stockholders in the roads.
Every man is as good as his fellow, so long as he is
honest and industrious. There .are no sweatshops
Strikes are unknown. Wages are somewhat lower than
in this country, but the cost of living is less, A visitor
says he did not see a rsgged boy or girl in the colony.
That this sort of paternal government is popularthere
may be judged by the last parliamentary election, Which
elected 59 government members to 14 antis and 4 inde
pendents. - ... '
It would seem from all this that Socialism to the ex
tent indicated' in this summary, or paternalism, is a de
cided success so far .in -New 'Zealand, a country with
about 1,008,000 inhabitants, but it does not follow that it
would be practicable or possible here, to so great an ex
tent, for reasons which will occur to most. readers; yet
the excessive greed," the unconscionable extortions,'the
pervading-prevalenee-of. graft,-and the insolenfind Tte
fiant lawlessness of trusts and great railroad and other
Corporations, are inclining hundreds of thousands ot
Americans to consider the claims of Socialism as, applied
to some extent, a possible, remedy or 'relief. ' At least
New Zealand affords an interesting if not a very lare
field for study .by the political economist. . .,

1minedby arbitration. The government does not forbid
the accumulation of wealth, but it prevents the oppres
sion of the poor. One result of this policy has been to
distribute the land among th,e people, a great proportion
of whom are home owners, and who produce a greater
" - surplus of products than any country produces, in pro-
. .portion to population. '
, To the worthy immigrant the government lends a

V home owner. He is given a perpetual lease-hold of gov

T Without means he is employed on government works
railroads, bridges, wagon roads, land-clearing, etc The
government even lends money to settlers to the extent
of three fourths the value of the land and improvements,
- at 4 percent.-Over $20,000,000 have thus been loaned,
i obtained by 3 yi per cent government bonds. At the
close of the last, fiscal year there was not one penny Of
defaulted interest. ,
j High rents of houses in towns prompted the "Work

; to $2,000 are built on tracts adjacent to the towns and
leAMd at 5 per cent interest. The government also con

on "the yielding to a single impulse, the balance of these
mighty forces may be disturbed, and the resultant" shape

Nodtep or very keen . vision is needed to detect what
is. wrapped in the smoke and dust of this turmoil. The
end will be the death of antocracy, whether it comes by
a constitution" ot a 'revolution!.-The czar haa-yet his
army, and depends upon itrbut ere long the army will
beJoiT the people's side, or will be swept away.- To
quote again from' the St Paul" paper: "It is not too
much to expect that if the czar "does not yield to every
demand which the douma deems important, if he listens
to mad counsel! and prorogues that body, and if the
guiding spirits of the struggle for liberty give the word
that the time has come for the whole people to rise, the
army will not be found altogether obedient to the czar.
But it is to be hoped there will be no test of the army;
but that without exasperating delay the czar will grant
every power and demand essential to popular control of
the laws and their execution, essential to liberty of per
son, to justice and to national progress."- .'

America la Juat waking to Its need
of good road a.
When visiting the Pan-American ex
poaltlon I flrat learned of the great or
ganization which exJafted for the promo
tion of this splendid movement-
England's good roads are Justly fa

Ing ot goodrToads by town, elty or gov

benefit of the rich who drive in car
riagea and automobiles.
The real fact-of tba matter is that
no one benefits so greatly from good
highways as tha farmer and the stock
breeder -and the-eountry dweller who
are engaged In any -kind of lnduatry.
I can recall aeaeona In my early girt
hood whan there waa despondency and
gloom over the whole country neighbor
hood because of gome sudden Tlse In the
price of produce when the roads were
absolutely Impassable.'
And before thev could be safely use a
to transport-the- cropa to market the
price was certain to fall.
Perhapa It Is because or my early
recollections of bad reads "and alh- tha
discomfort and loneliness they caused
that a good road seems to me a thing
of such beauty.
A closely shaven lawn, neatly kept.
and a hard, smooth road always stli
me with a peculiar aenaatlon; something
like to that which a aound of music oi
sight -of a beautiful picture or the
reading of a great poem produces.
