THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
A Big Saving Posbiblb. The Civil Service of the country would suffice for the requirements of ten millions of people instead of one, and the taxpayers of the Dominion have now fot lour years been compelled Hi pay millions of money for no other purpose than to keep hundreds, perhaps thousands, of men and women in easy billets whose services might he dispensed with. If the Premier challenges this opinion, let him appoint the same or any other group of business men to investigate and report what changes can be made in the Civil Service, if any, by which the departmental business of the country can be carried on, having regard to efficiency, at less expense than at present. We feel moderately certain they,would report that from five to seven millions per annum could lie saved.—Mercantile Gazette.
