INCREASED "TOTE" PERMITS
[Faoii Our Parliamentary Reporter.]
( WELLINGTON, October 13. The _ ' Times' editorially declares that the .victory of the minority over Mr Geoge Hunter's Bill is a scandal to parliamentary government, and a reproach to those who broko the spirit of procedure to achieve their end outside democratic I'qle.. It is time, it says, for a radical amendment of the Standing Orders to prevent the country being put to enormous expense and a waste of the time of Parliament. There is another moral in this degrading story of parliamentary insubordination. The Government should have given the country a lead. Their admission that reform is necessarv implies urgency, and the Government should have had sufficient discretion to devise a just and fair remedy and enough courage to press that -remedy to the Statute Book, regardless of all obstruction.
