Woman Sufferage.
i, (Per Press Association). ' Sydney, March 14. * Replying to a deputation in favour 3 of womien suffrage, the Premier said ' the more it was considered the more ' weighty appeared women's claim. The ; more women became equal with men t the better it would be for men. He > scouted the contention that representi ation should 30 by taxation. Women : in charge of domestic duties were called upon to pay a greater tax to the I strength and welfare of the country than men. He could not, however, . hold out any hope of dealing with the 1 subject this session. It was too great • a question to be dealt with in a half--1 hearted manner. They also wanted a stronger expression of opinion than had yet been given. He was prepared to go to the country and stake his political fortune on the advocacy of woman suffrage. Most of his colleagues were in favour of it. The Cabinet would consider the question ' at an early date and probably intro- ! duce a short Bill next session dealing [ directly with it. He was hampered 1 with side issues.
