TOO COSTLY.
Referendum Requested in Queensland. UPPER HOUSE WANTED. (Received 11.30 a.m.) BRISBANE, this day. An Upper House of 20 Or 30 members elected on a non-party basis and the reduction of the number of members in the Assembly were two points discussed with the Premier, Mr. A. E. Moore, by a largo influential body of citizens. The deputation suggested that both issues be put to the people by a joint referendum. The Premier, however, said that a referendum would cost a lot of money, and the State could not afford it. He thought the matter of the restoration of the Legislative Council-should be dccided by the Government.
