The permanent conservative majority
in the upper chamber, which is the re-
suit, habitually rejects the measures
passed through the lower house by it's
political opponents. 1t threw out, last
year, Premier Eden's bill giving woman
the vote. The upper chamber is a
hard problem to tackle. 1t is elected
in patches like the United States Sem
ate. and it cannot be dissolved all at
once. So the one way to overcome it's
reactionary majority is to reform the
municipal voting system by abolishing
the forty scale franchise and giving all
men equal Votes. Then the municipali-
ties will be progressive and they will
elect a progressive upper chamber. On
this policy Eden and his liberal and
socialist hackers embarked.
But the conservative party. backed
by the court, again foiled them. Eden
passed through the lower house bill
aboishing the forty-scale franchise
and so prepared to break up the reac-
tionary domination in the upper cham
Der. This bill had next to be passed
also by the upper chamber itself. The
upper chamber threw 1t incontinently
out. They declared that ii practically
established ne-chamber government,
vicious system which obtains only in
Greece.
After that, there remained no way
of reform except semi-revolutionary
agitation The socialist leader, Bran
ting, toured the country and Numbered
about the inevitable revolution, and
