The Post says there is not one of our politicians who does not in his heart know that further borrowing, at no distant date, is absolutely unavoidable, 6nd perfectly indispensable, and asks if it is not time that politicians began to speak upon the matter. Mr Joyce proposes to ask the Premier whether an early opportunity will be given the House to discuss the proposal to reduce the Railway Commissioners’ revenue estimates by £50.000, so that the Commissioners may lower the rates on all colonial produce.
