BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.

A FORMIDABLE LIST. SESSION TO FINISH BY NOVEMBER 1. (By Wire.—Own Correspondent.) Wellington, Last Night. After telling the House to-day that the business of the session could be com. pleted by November 1, and the election taken early in December, the Prime Minister read a list of the Bills likely to come before Parliament during the session. The list rather startled the House. It was as follows: Bills ready for Cabinet decision: Stone Quarries Amendment (introduced and referred to Mines Committee), Mining Amendment, Coal Mines Amendment, Prisons Amendment, Police Offences Amendment, Justices of the Peace Amendment, Magistrate's Court Amendment, State Forests Amendment, Discharged Soldier Settlement Amendment, Primary Industries Promotion, Post and Telegraph Amendment, Police For,ce Amendment, Statutes Repeal and Expiring Laws Continuance, Public Trust Office Amendment, Electric Power Works. Loan Bills ready for introduction: Education Amendment, Educational Purposes Loan, New Zealand University Amendment, Auckland University College Site (already introduced). Bills in preparation: Undesirable Immigrants Exclusion, Public Service Superannuation, Land Laws Amendment, Railway Authorisation, Seeds, Reserves and Other Lands Disposal (Washing-up Bill), Expeditionary Forces Voting, Divorce Amendment, Public Health Amendment, Housing, Municipal Corporations Amendment, Rotorua Township Tenures, Dairy Industries Amendment, Marriage Amendment (British Subjects Marriage Facilities Act, Imperial), National Provident Fund Amendment, Public Works Amendment, Hauraki Plains Amendment, Public Revenues Amendment. Cook Islands Amendment, Shops and Offices Amendment, clauses for Washing-up Bill, Appropriation Bill and Native Washingup Bill, Samoan Constitution Bill. In addition to all these there are one or two Bills already on the order paper, the most interesting of them being the Women's Parliamentary Rights Bill. It is evident that if the session is to close at the end of next month some of these Bills will have to be carried forward till next session. They represent, in part, the accumulation of legislation that took place during the life of the National Government.
