SIZE OF PARLIAMENT.
Sir,—Mr. Cayley-Alexander's letter ha» expressed the thoughts of many, of us There is urgent need, to-day, for economy in every direction, private or public. It is well realised that whenever the Government requires to *nake up its mind on anj matter of real importance it has to appoint a commission of experts. Is j(, not possible that some of our excellent members of Parliament, may be redundant? Professor Algie and others have pointed out the unnecessary unwieldiness of our Parliamentary machine. I would suggest that yet another commission be appointed, bub this time to advise how government may be obtained with greater efficiency economy and celerity. Because the present system was suitable twenty years ago by no means proves that it is not antiquated and cumbrous to-day. The present moment would seem opportune for the tightening up of our National organisation, and for putting our House in better order! Tn a word, let us "rationalise" Parliament! Roger B. Gibb.
