' LIBERAL SUGGESTIONS

UF SENATE REFORM.

An Ottawa despatch, announcing the death oi Senator Baker, remarks l \1Pon the fact that there are now but twenty Conservatives in the Cana- dian Senate, and that in recent years vacancies are occurring in that body at the average rate of four per an- num. So that if the present system of appointing only pronounced sup- porters of the party in power shall be continued until the next -election, the Upper House may be almost wholly made up of one party. Yet the disproportion is not now quite so great as it was in 1896, when the Liberal party came into power. At that date there were but eleven Lib- erala in the Senate, where now their preponderance is so great. After all, the Liberal party is only doing what their predecessors did in the main. ,Only once during his long term oi" power did the late Sir John Mac- donald appoint a Liberal to the

Commenting upon the changed

conditions in the Senate, the St. John Telegraph remarks:

"The Liberals have neither ‘mend-

cd' noi' ‘ended' the Senate in the sense

of the phrase used by some, but they have improved it materially by mak- ing better appointments on the aver- lli-Ze than were_made in the old days. There is room ,for more improvement Hlvng this line and the Senate would be more useful to the country at 18-F30 if the Parties were more evenly divided in it, if life tenure were abol- ished and if the seats were filled by some form of election which would increase the responsibility and repre- sentative character of the 'Chambeix

“Today in Canada there appears L0

he Dmctically no sentiment in favor of government by a. single Chamber, and there is not likely to be much agitation of that sort for some years at least. §ut while the Senate is not to be 'ended,’ there is probably H _pretty ireiierul impression that it would still be better for considerable “mending” and that in filling vacan- Eics the powers that be -ought not to lie bound by any but the broadest considerations. In the Senate, as in the House, the people want good men rather than men who merely

’ have 'claims' The government fon-

tunatcly _has in these days a vepy largc m11J01`1tY in the Upper Cham- bcr and it can ivell afford to give attention to fitness in adding to the number."

Not only the St. John Telegraph,

but a considerable number of other strongly Liberal jouriinls, are taking a broad view of the necessity for rc- fomliflg the Senate iii such fashion as may enhance its vigor and useful. 11955. while making it something less partisan than heretofore. But until the British North America Act can be Changed the system of life ap- P°i“tm@“fS by the Party in power must necessarily be con¢_lnue¢i_
