QUESTION OF STATE GOVERNORSHIP.
TRAVELLING EXPENSES UN-
NECESSARY,
Hobart, Nov 22. In the Assembly, Mr Earlo, Leader of the Labour Party opposed the travelling allowances to the Governor being included in the Estimates. He declared that a State Governor was unnecessary, and that the proper link between the State and the Throne was the Governor-General. If the peoplo wanted pomp and show in their ceremonies let them pay for it. It was the "tin pot aristocrat" who wanted to kowtow to the Governor, who desired him to travel from this place to that. The deputy-Leader of the Party declared that the post of Governor was a useless excrescence.
The item was struck out by 14 votes to 9.
