Thoughts For The Times
A Pound A Minvtk. Mr Massey calcudates tlint the cost to the country of the House of Representatives is at the rate ot £GO an hour, ur £1 per minute. He said so recently in chiding members for wasting time. It has lieen apparent to outsiders, who can see better than those in the ring how things are going that the waste of time by some Ministers and members, in fact by the House as a whole, has of late years bqoonVe grievous. However blind or indifferent members—of any sections—may be to this squandering of money at ~1 per minute, people outside tho House see it and do deplore.—Wellington Post.
