The Legislative Council will have a substantial elected majority, elected on a broad franchise with Governor as President. (A Commission is appointed to inquire into the question of franchise and the composition of the Council, but the report is not yet out.) The Grand Committee will comprise only from 40 to 50 per cent of Legislative Council, and its members will be partly elected by a ballot and partly appointed by nomination. All Legislation and the Budget for transferred subjects only must be passed in the Legislative Councils. But when the Governor certifies that a bill dealing with reserved subjects is essential he may refer the Bill to the Grand Committee and have it finally passed there. The members of the Legislative Council can ask questions and pass resolutions, but the latter are not binding on the Executive, except resolutions on the Budget for the transferred subjects. All Provincial Legislation requires the assent of the Governor and the Governor-General, and is also subject to disallowance by His Majesty. PUBLIC SERVICE Racial bars should not exist. In addition to recruitment in England a system of appointment to all public services be established in India with an increasing percentage of recruitment. In the case of Indian Civil Service the percentage should be 33 of the superior posts, with annual increment of 1-1/2 per cent. LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT Complete popular control in Local Bodies to be established as far as possible. III. THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS (1) _General._--There should be a complete separation of the Provincial from the Imperial Revenues. All Provincial Governments should have certain powers of taxation and borrowing. (2) _Executive._--Full responsible Government should be introduced into the Provinces. The Executive will thus consist of the Governor and Ministers responsible to the Legislature. There should be no distinction of transferred or reserved subjects. (3) _Legislative._--There should be only one Legislative Council, having four-fifths of its members elected on a broad franchise without distinction of sex, but with a proportional and communal representation for the Mohammedans. The Legislative Council should elect its own President, and must have control over the Budget. All Bills must be introduced and passed in this Legislative Council. The Governor to retain his power of assent, and the Governor-General and the Crown the power of assent or disallowance. PUBLIC SERVICES Services should be recruited in India in a fixed and progressive proportion. The annual recruitment in India for the Indian Civil Service should be 50 per cent to start with, and that Indians be granted at least 25 per cent of the Commissions in Army and the proportion be gradually increased. There should be no racial distinctions. LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT Municipal and Local Bodies should be completely under popular control.
