caar. vir] CABINET SYSTEM IN DOMINIONS 321 and Treasurer, the Minister of Public Works, Minister of Agriculture, Colonial Secretary, Attorney-General, and two ministers without portfolio, while all ex-ministers were included in the Executive Council. In Natal the Prime Minister was also Minister for Native Affairs, and there were the Colonial Secretary and Minister of Education, Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Defence, Attorney-General, Minister for Railways and Harbours, and Treasurer, no honorary minister being appointed, and every minister being a member of the Legislative Assembly. In the Cape there was only one honorary minister in the Council. In the Transvaal there was the Prime Minister, who was Minister of Agriculture; Colonial Secretary, Attorney- General and Minister of Mines, Colonial Treasurer, Minister of Lands and Minister for Native Affairs, and Minister of Public Works. In the Orange River Colony the Prime Minister was Colonial Secretary ; the other ministers were the Attorney-General, Colonial Treasurer, Minister of Agri- culture, and Commissioner of Public Works, Lands, and Mines. In both cases not a single member of the Ministry sat in the Upper House, and there were no honorary ministers. In the Union after its constitution on May 31, 1910, ten ministries were established, namely agriculture; the interior, mines, and defence; native affairs; education; finance; lands; public works, posts, and telegraphs; railways and harbours; justice; commerce and industries. The ministries were divided among the provinces so that four fell to the Cape, three including the Prime Ministry and the Treasury, two of the most important, to the Transvaal, two to Natal, and two to the Orange River Colony, one being an honorary ministry, making up a Cabinet of eleven. On presenting themselves for election one of the Natal ministers, the ex- Premier, Mr. Moor, who had been given the portfolio of commerce, failed to secure election, but he was appointed a senator,! another ministerial appointment being made. The salaries are £3000, with £4000 for the Premier. For a criticism of this action see The State of South Africa, iv. 787. 12'%Y
