sure of the Government, it did not challenge the Government's principle. In his opinion, everyone who voted for the amendment voted against the proportional representation system for the Upper House, 'ihe Premier had given 'his word that beforo this Parliament ended he would introduce a measure dealing with the alteration of the constitution of the Upper House. He did not think the time had arrived for the abolition of the Second Chamber. It was not possible that the Upper House would, surrender any of its privileges without a struggle. They were fighting on the principle of whether the Council was to be nominated or brought into closer,touch with the people of the country. He said the Second Ballot had to go, and in its place would be put a different measure, the contents of which he was not prepared to nut before tin? House that evening. Sir Joseph Ward believed that one of the most fatal mistakes the House was going to make was to have both Houses elected by the people on the same franchise, even if one was elected over large • electorates, In a few years the Council would become the dominant House. Large electorates would either play into the hands of the wealthy or into the hinds of a party with the best organisation. The man with a lot of monev would get the best results. He thought a system such s outlined in 1 the Governor's Speech in February would give the best results. Nothing more revolutionary had ever been brought before the House than the election of the Socond Chamber by proportional representation. Logically there should be only one House uu- <'• >r the proportional system. The Hon. F. M. P. Fisher quoted figures to show that ;.t the last Victorian Senate election the Labour men swept the whole eighteen seats, showing that the seats were not won by the wealthy class. As to the size of tlie electorates, large ones would I eliminate the parish pump.

Mi' ,T. T. Payne said the only true -system of election was to pool all the votes and allow each party to lie represented by a percentage of the support it received. Mr J. A. considered the purposes of the Demwrary could be defeated if another Chamber was so constituted as to be able to b'.nc-k the measures of the Lower House. Mr Hanan objected to'both Houses being elected on the same franchise. Mr Robertson said if the people had one purely -representative House on the proportional system there would 1)0 no need for a Second Chamber. Mr Robertson said his party would support the resolutions as proportional representation was a principle they advocated. Mr H. G. Ell considered it w;is a dangerous position to constitute a Second Chamber, which would vegard j itself as equally powerful with the ! .Representative Chamber. | C. H.
