The Minister stated that he had always oppo&ed this brand of covetousness being placed on members of Parliament, and said ib had the effect that only rich mem bers could afford to lose their money in this way by serving on Royal Commissions.

He urged the importance of assisting the volunteer movement, and said white the Government wlahed to keep down the dafecoa expenditure to the most) reasonable Mmita, and while he agreed that militarism ought r>ot to be encouraged, it wag essential that the oolofy should be psepared to resist au attiptc horn outside Meesre R McKeoaie, E Thompaoa, and O'Meara Bpoke

Mr Seddon, replying, denied thab there wib any cauae for financial anxiet.y. He said that nexb year if the revenue kept up there mußb he a half million aurplns, beoaußa the abnormal expenditure of the ptiss year would not be recurrent.

to the Public Works Funds, whereas ab last year there was ab the end of the same period a aarplus of some £'0,000- The expenditure for the name period had increased by fi 156,000. He woddered whether, ab bhe 31st Maroh next, they would have any money to meet their Habilibioß,-

Sir Joseph Ward said Mr Allen'a figureß were pretty accurate, but Mr Allen had not taken into consideration the faob that) the revenue showed an increase for the six months of £118,243. In addibion to that they must nob leave oub a hopeful feature of the finance of last year, when aboub £350,000 of taxation waa remitted. He said he contemplated having a quarter of % million to bransfer bo the Public Works Fund ab the 31st March next. Ha was satisfied the financial position of the colony was reassuring. Mr Seddon said for & email colony like this we were (joiag quite far enough in re gard to expenditure, and we should ease off wherever possible; He congratulated the House on the work of the session, which had been one of the mosb profitable in the hiatory of the colony. Ha regretted the Licensing Bill could nob be dealt) with, and said next session he would take his leid on the lceil Government Bill from the House.
