RAILWAY COMMISSION.
The Commission is well qualified to investigate and report on the management of the railway as a going concern. If it recommends specific ways of spending less and earning more, the Government will have no excuse for ignoring its advice; but if the Commission were also to report on constructional policy, and if its findings were distasteful to the Government, which is committed to a good deal of construction, they might, however sound, be evaded on the more or less slim excuse that the Commission is not sufficiently expert to decide such questions of policy. We may regret, therefore, that we are not to hear the Commission’s opinion on a highly important question, which it is at least as fit as Parliament or as Cabinet to answer; but the narrower investigation is the likelier to produce early, material results.—Christchurch Press.
