THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
i Our opinion is that the Legislative < Council is quite large enough as it is, j and the fewer appointments chat are j made to it the better work it is likely to do, remarks the Timaru "Post;." It is supposed to be a revising Chamber, arid a chock upon hasty legislation. In reality it is a costly institution which the Dominion could do very well wimout. If it is not possibSo to a!:o;is!i the 1 Leg isl at i veT'ou nci 1. it ahoul;! be quite ( possible to gradually reduce it in number by nogiecting to imstjo iurther recommendations for appointment. In this way the Council might j be allowed to die a natural and a i painless death; it would not be re- ( gretted by the country.
