IN connection with the recent action of the Legislative Council in voting Ex- change Compensation to the Civil Service and the claims put forward by the Colonial Treasurer on behalf of first-class officials, it is interesting to refer to the action being taken by the Victorian Parliament to place that Colony on a sound financial basis and to bring about a permanent reduction in the working expenses. In his open- ing speech to the Parliament, Lord Hopetoun said the measures for re trenchment would include a reduction- a substantial and permanent reduction is the salaries of the Ministers, the members of the Legislative Assembly, the President and Chairman of Com- mittees of the Legislative Council, and

It will be seen from this that the Victorian Legislative Bodies do not trouble themselves with potty discussions of individual woes er. the rating of the Colony by the Colozial Ofice; what they intend to concern themselves withi is the ultimate benefit of the Culony, and they show their earnestness of purpose, not by hedging round the minor offices with tantalising restrictions calculated, as in the case of 2/the Hongkong Police Force, to des-
