Te Kopara 78
[3] Te Kopara, Number 78, Gisborne, 31 July, 1920.
‘Iti te Kopara, kai takirikiri ana i runga i te Kahikatea.’
Although the Bellbird is small, he plucks at the Kahikatea. [cf Nga Pepeha 908]
The ministers are badly affected by the steep rise in prices of everything while their pay is what it was before the war. One would think that the leaders of the Maori People would realise how little their ministers are being paid and seek ways to increase their stipends. The payment for Pakeha clergy has increased to £350 a year.
