The Legislative Council.
Speaking at Carterton recently Mr W. C. Buchanan said — " The Upper House had been accused of obstructing legislation. Out of the forty members eight belonged to olden times ; the total num ber who might be called neutral was nineteen as against seventeen appointed by tbe Seddon Government;, and altogether twenty-one appointed by Liberal Governments. In looking over the measures sent to the Upper House they found Liberal appointees voting against tbe measures of their Government, and surely this was evidence that the measures were too far advanced for the present condition of tbe country, and the Upper House was justified in allowing the people an opportunity of voicing their feelings on these points."
