State Lotteries
Evcry State in Australia ran a lottery with the excep'rion of Victoria, and it was inevitable that Victoria must follow suit, if it was only to prevent the flood of money to States where lotteries were held, declared Mr. John Fuller, of Sydney, who recently arrived in the Dominion. Mr. Fuller added that State lotteries had become an accepted form of investment in Australia as a means of assisting charitable objects. The Stevens Government had been against lotteries when it was returned, but now it was of the view that it would be foolish to abolish them, as raising money by other means, such as taxation, for charities would be difficult. The lotteries brought that happiness oi expectation to many families who, as a rulo, could find the necessary 5/- without much trouble.
