aupually, and by which the duration
of Parliament Is fixed It three years
! The bill, which proposes the s1bsiitu-
ton of biennial meetings of Parlia-
ment ard biennial budgets, has
created q considerable sensation as
leading to further free the gov
| erpnent from parliamentary con-
| troll. The osteusible reason foi
change Is the Inconvenience OF discuss
ing two budgets, the Prussisn and I'M
peria', IN the sane year. II was sug-
Sested some time ago that they might
be asken up in alternate years. The

troll OF the Imperial railways is also re-
garded as q step towards rendering the
government less dependent on Parlia-
ment.
