19. Introduce methods enabling persons without ready capital to acquire
their cottages or small holdings by paying instalments on reasonable terms. Why not an Ashbourne Act for England? 20. Control the liquor traffic, not with a view to injure the publican, but to promote temperance, remembering that the business of the licensed victualler should be to provide wholesome food as well as drink, not to act merely as manager of a licensed house for extending the trade, and enhancing the profits of a brewery or distillery. 21. Simplify the Land Laws and make transfer easier and less costly. 22. Amend the law relating to marriage, and also on some points affecting personal status and devolution of property on death. 23. Consolidate the Statute Law and amend and codify the Criminal Law. Carry out the amendment of the Patent Law. 24. Aid the development of Education without destroying the liberty of teacher or scholar or the variety of methods by too much control, rigid system, or over-elaborate organisation. 25. Combat disease, encourage research in preventive medicine, and extend the application of its results. In particular carry on the campaign against infectious and contagious diseases, and especially against venereal disease. 26. Make better provision for playing-fields and open spaces, preserve places of historic interest and natural beauty, and make them accessible for the enjoyment of those who really care for them. |
