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
