No Taxes, Politics,
Pests or Paupers
Sydney, N. S. W —A modern Utopia,
where, no U. ep are paid, with oe poli
tics, footl in abundance, no pests, no
paupers, plenty of intoxicating liquor
but no drunkenness, is Norfolk island,
according^ to, the picture of the land
drawn by Major General Parnell, its
administrator on a visit to Sydney.
Genera! Parnell said that during his
:wc years administration the only seri
ous crime committed on the island was
the ttheft bf a woman o' some money
from,,the cable station. rutoxieating
liquor is issued from ixtnd by the ad
ministrator and there is never a caso
nf drunkenness among the *00 inhabit
ants- Most of these aro descendants of
His Majesty’s snip Bounty.
The- residents are very contented,
living on their own farms, although
very few make more than £100 a year,
General Parnell said. Food is plenti
ful but the people appear to lack in
itiative. The people are governed un
der laws of their own making, and the
commonwealth grants £3,500 annually
for administrative expenses. One-third
of this amount is absorbed in the pub
v. o. school expenses.
While the residents do not pay taxes, J
all male inhabitants between- the ages
of 21 and 55 years are required to work
for fifteen days each year in construct
ing! roads, piers or other public works.
Those unable to do this are called upon
to pay £3.__
