HON. T. MACKENZIE.
A few years back the Hon. T. Mackenzie favoured tlis establishment of a Civil Service Board. In those days he was in the cold- .sliades of Opposition. To-day he is a Minister of the Crown, possessed of .powers of patronage and of dispensing favours, and he thinks that the Ministerial control of the Public 'Service cannot be improved oxpon. It is strange how circumstances alter cases. The Hon. T. Mackenzie's argument that the control of the Service by Commissioners; "would mean the flooding of the Civil Service •with'the .sons of the wealthy, is somuch fatuous nonsense. The suggestion is naworthy of ,'a -Minister, of the Crown. It is a .habit of "Liberal" .Ministers, however, to make sheering' references to"'the' wealthy 1 and aristocratic the while they are .hobnobbing with Royalty and breaking their mecks to secure titles.
