Legislature Is.
About Ready

Most of the time ‘of the Legislature
thus fur has been taken wy with a
debate on the ‘speech from the throne,
Fortunately members are not confined
to the contents of the speech itself,but
are permitted to ramble us they will.
For the most part the time is taken
up with charges by the opposition and
replies from the government: “But as _
there was nothing. in the speech from
the throne to discuss there was noth-:
ing for the opposition to do ‘but debate
questions that ha’ danpeared in’ the
daily press. In regards to the liquor _
question in’ B. C. the government said:
that could be handled nicely ia future
if the opposition would be willing to
have the liquor question taken out of
polities and full power given to the
liqnor commission. The timber dea’
with the Powell River Paper Co, was
hot much of a bone of contention as ¢
number of the Conservatives were in
xecord with the deal and the price
received. From the speech of - Pre
mier Oliver all hope of “disposing of
the P. G. EB, was seattered. The Hon.
Prewier. stated that nothing could be
fone at this thme, elther with the C.
N. R.-or with private parties. The
expectitious were that this main per-
iod of speech-naking would wind up
this week and next’week the House
would get. down: to  bnsiness, Some
important matters are promised by

‘}supporters of the government.
