TIIETIMBERCOMPANYCONCESSIONS.
THEhon.memberfortheVasse,inthe debateon"TimberConcessions"made certainstatementstotheCouncilwhich weredescribedas"startlingrevelations." Theyhadreferencetomatterswhich immediatelyconcernthedistrictrepresentedbyMr.CAREY,butwhichalso areofconsiderableimportancetothe colonyingeneral.
Whoeverelsemayfindfaultwithour presentadministration,itwouldappear thatMr.M.C.DAVIES-agentleman fromSouthAustralia,largelyengaged inthetimbertradeoftheVasse-has littlecauseforcomplaint.Accordingto Mr.CAREYhehasreceivedaconcession of90,000acresorabout140square milesofcountry,areservealsoof600 acresatCapeHamelinandsevenother reserveselsewhereof100acreseach forallofwhichliepaysintotherevenue ofthecolonytheinsignificantsumof £150perannum.
Ir.DAVIESisthelargestemployer oflabourintheSoutherndistiicts;he issaidtohavedevelopedthetimber tradeofthatportionofthecolony,more thanalltheothertimbercompaniesput together.Itisnotthenforustosay thathehasbeendealtwithintooliberal amanner.Itwouldindeedrequirea farmoreintimateacquaintancewiththe wholetimberindustriesoftheSouth thanweclaimtopossess,inorderto pronouncevithanyaccuracyonthat aspectofthecase.
Butthereisonesalientpointofview thatstrikesthemerestoutsider.Itisthe factthatsoenormousatractoftellitory shouldhavebeenalienated;thatacontractofsuchhugeproportions-consideringthewholeresourcesofthecolonysheuldhavebeenenteredintobythe Executive,withouttheslightestsuspicionofthearrangementoilthepartof anynon-officialmemberoftheLegislativeCouncil.Andfromthisaspect ofthematter,itisbutnaturaltoexclaim-Truly,WestAustraliansarea patient,ifnot,mayhap,aphlegmatic raceofpeople!
Mr.CAREY'Sfindhad,atfirst,every appearanceofturningouttobeamare's nest.Itwastoosensationalforimmediatecredenceandwasjustthesort ofstory,thatisoftenbuiltuponinadequateorincorrectinformation.But acarefulexaminationofthereplyit elicitedfromtheCommissionerof CrotonLandsmakesevidentthatitisa plainandunvarnishedstatementof facts.Anattemptwasnotmadeeven, toinvalidateitssubstantialaccuracy.
Itwasofcourseexplainedthatthere wereseveralconditionsannexedtothe concessionsmadetoMr.DAVIES.But willthesebecarriedout?Or,evenif carriedout,willtheybebeneficialinproportiontothefavorsconceded?The irrepressiblememberfurtheVasse throwsnewlightonthewayInwhich thestipulationsagreeduponingranting timberlicenseshavebeenoccasionally fulfilled.
Mr.FORRESTofBunburyappliedfor andobtainedatimber-cut:jogconcession.Ilewasboundtoerectsawmills onthelandhandedovertohim,andto carryon,iuanactivemanlier,allthe operationsofthetimbertrade.Mr. CAREYassertsthathedidnothingof thekindhedid"notspendafarthing" inthedevelopmentofthetimberindustry,but,afterthelaudconcededhim hadbeenshutupforyears,itwasat lengthsoldand:resoldtootherparties
while"Mr.FORREST,inordertoshield himself,retainedaninterestinthe mattertotheextentofoneshilling."
Theremaybeafurtherexplanationof someofthesethings.Ithasnot,however,yetbeengiven.Whateveritmay be,itwillleaveintacttherealgistand vitalpointtouchedinthesedisclosures, whichis-thattransactionsofthe weightiestmomentmaytakeplace underthepresentregimewithoutthe slightestrcferencewhatevertothepublic voiceuponthem.
Thediscussionraisedsoopportunely byMr.CAREYhasbeenpostponed,but wehavelittlehopeofanygoodresultingfromwhatevermaybesaidordone.
