THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
Whether .or not members of .Perlia
meant shall have a little leeway in
regard to getting certain jobs foil
their supporters at election tim
seems to be one of the burning quea
tions of the day. Cerltalnly, the Gov-
ernment's proposal to' amend the Civj
Service Act so as to provide for cer-
thin apppintmenta being hien out
OT, the hands of the Civi Service
Commission, has created. ore fuss
apd uproar thamdfd the Grand Trunk
legislation or the Railway Estimates
calling for the expenditure of many
Millions of dollars. ' " d
The Government, through almost
every possible avenue, declared in
1917 and at -sundry times since then,
that it had abolished patronage for
keeps. That was one of the election
issues, it seemed, and the Civil Ser-
vice Commroission was built up and
a great deal of money spent on re-
organization and reclassification of
the service. However; the govern-
ment has since experienced a serious
change of heart. The bill to amend
the Civil Service Act, though stated
in the House to he only a skeleton
from which a special committee was
to work out a real bill, provides after
all, for taking away nearly, every
power over appointment, promotion
and classification which the Govern
ment could take, away. Consequently
there is a general howl from the
Civil Service and also from a large
portion of the representation in the
House.
Really it is a placating of demands
by a certain group of Government
supporters in the House. That such
is well known here, and it was evi-
dent that at the caucus which the
Government called for discussion of
the Party's stand on the coming
Prime Ministers' conference, that the
matter had been seriously discussed
and the promise was made that the
bill would be introduced.
Now the Government is not anxious'
to proceed with the bill. It has been
given second reading and`referred to
a special committee of the House. If
the committee would agree the Gov-
ernment would probably be more
than willing that there should be no
report on the bill before the end of
this session, for it has stirred up a
regular hornets' nest which may cost
as many votes in some sections as
patronage would gain in others.
Hen. J. A. Calder is a leading figure
in the committee which has the bill
iu hand, and ther4fore the Govern-
ment's side of the question is pretty
thoroughly guarded as far as that
committee is concerned. It would not
be surprising if the bill were held
back until there was insufficient time
to put it through, or changed so
much that its own father wouldn't
know it.
To Hon. E. K. Spinney, Minister
without portfolio, the job of father-
ing the measure fell, and one of its
chief opponents was Hon. A. K. Mac-
Lean, speaking from the Liberal
benches. During the time he was in
the Borden Government Mr. MacLean
had devoted a great deal of time and
work to trying to get the Civil Ser-
vice administration into working
shave. and if this bill passed he
would see all his work shot to pieces.
Therefore, of course, Mr. MacLean
went after the bill tooth and nail
and charged the Government with
breaking election pledges in introduc-
ing it.
He had plenty of support in his
charges, too. for both Liberal and
Farmer members took the same atti-
tude and fought against the measure.
Perhaps it was significant that second
reading of this measure went through
by a majority of only fifteen, the low-
est Government majority of the ses-
sion. And should it come down to a
matter of voting on third reading to
pass the bill. there are many Govern-
ment supporters who would probably
stay out of the chamber rather than
vote for the bill or line up against
their leaders. Of course, even if the
bill got third reading in the House
the Government could always arrange
for it being held up in the Senate,
but third reading in the Commons is a
long long way off yet.
Mr. Calder who has assumed the
role of leader of the committee, wants
to call everyone connected with Civil
Service in any way. By the time that
is done there will he little hope of a
report getting to the House in tune
for action this session. The bill
seems to be drawing down condemna-
tion on every hand, so there would
out the country if the government
decided that discretion was the bet-
ter part of valor in this case and
ditched the whole thing.
The Grand Trunk Bill has been
given third reading and has received
the Royal assent so that the govern-
ment now has all the power neces-
sary to extend the arbitration if it
sees fit to de so. The Company has
done nothing yet in the way of re-
newing negotiations toward the hand-
ing over the road, and in the mean-
time, of course, the government has
shut down on payment of further
Grand Trunk debts. There may be
announcement at any time now on
the matter and it is more than pos-
sible that further legislation may
have to be rushed through, even in
the last days of a dying session.
The Budget comes down on Mon-
day, and thus far its contents and
provisions are being guarded as close-
ly as possible. There is nothing
more than rumor as to what Sir
Henry Drayton's budget speech will
contain on which to go at present,
but the view.persists, that there .will
be mighty little in the way of tariff
revision ,and that the budget propos-
als will be so thin tisat a couple a
weeks' debate will serve.

SEAFORTH - - ONTARIO.
In preparation for the -big doings
the government is wiping things off
the Order Paper with -both hands.
Legislation is being put through in a
hurry, and every night the Huse is
moved into supply on estimates, re-
gardless of the hour or the protests
of the Opposition. As a rcruit of
the driving tactics which have been
under way for the. last coultlo of
weeks there will be little or nothing
on the Order Paper to hold up the
House when the Budget Debate ends.
Then whatever there is will go
through in a hurry, since the Premier
wants to get over to London early
next month.
The contentious railway department
estimates have been broughi in to the
committee of Supply, and Dr. Reid is
doing his duty manfully in trying to
put across the necessary explanations.
However, his task is a hard one. since
the -Opposition have apparently been
waiting all session for these to come
up as a chance to stage their real
fight against the govement's policy
of operating the roads: The fight be-
gan almost with the introduction of
the main railway estimates, -when the
chairman suggested bunching two or
three of the large votes together in
one item and putting-ihem through
more quickly. Of con if the worst
comes to the worst, theinedt Corn-
wall medico can hold (0.4e ifie con'
tentions items =jm$ii.-alriron yha last
day, and by that time everyb'dy will
be feeling more for getting home, and
the items may go through with less
fuss. Such. things have been done be-
fore to -day.
Prorogation ought to come by the
firs'. of June, if present indications
mean anything at all. The House is
further ahead this year than it was
on the date of -introducing the budget
last session, and while there will b.•
a little work to clean up :afterwards.
the debate should be well cleared
away inside of three weeks.
Parliamentarians are watching
closely the fight of Sir Sam Hughes
against his serious illness. The old
warrior after all, is generally beloved
in and about the House, and he has
a great many friends of all shades
of political opinions who are all pull-
ing for his recovery and his eventual
return to the House.
