Now that the Endowment Bill is out of the way. to all intents and purposes, members are trying to gauge the possible duration of the session. In the lobbies it is freely rumoured that Parliament may rise about the 16th of this month. If the remainder of the Government's programme is to receive proper consideration it is difficult to see how this can be accomplished. The House has yet to deal with the Native Land Bill, theMeikle Acquittal Bill, the Gambling Bill, .the Civil Service and Railways Classi-fication-schemes, the Factories Act Amendment Bill and Arbitration Act Amendment Bill, to say nothing of the Public Works Statement and the hundred and one other things there are to attend to before members can get away to their homes.
