LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
ELECTIVE BODY SUGGESTED By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, October 14. Reform of the Legislative Council in the direction of making it an elective chamber is raised in a question tabled in the House by Mr Stallworthy, who is asking whether, in view of the opportunity offering for reform, the necessity for reducing administrative costs and the over-burden of taxation, and the deep public resentment against any distribution of political favours at the expense of the taxpayers when thousands are on the breadline, the Prime Minister will, before any fresh appointments are made, allow the House to discuss and vote on the question of an elective upper chamber or, failing that, to discuss the policy and personnel of any further appointment at present. "You are rocking the boat,” commented Mr Howard when Mr Stallworthy gave notice of his question today.
