FEDERATION A FAILURE
SOUTH AUSTRALIA AND COMMONWEALTH DESTRUCTIVE TAXATION By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyrigi, Reed. 9.5 a.m. ADELAIDE, To-day. According to a committee appointed by the State Government to report on the evidence submitted to the Royal Commission on State disabilities, federation of the States as far as South Australia is concerned has proved a failure. The report says South Australia is unable to meet her liabilities, with an imposition of destructive taxation out of all proportion to that levied by other States. As a result of the federation, the people and the industries of South Australia have laboured many years under a burden of taxation materially heavier than that imposed on other States. Unless steps are taken to remedy this condition, a contrast between the prosperity in the manufacturing States in the east, and the stagnation in the primary-producing States in the west, must inevitably result in the creation of a spirit of resentment which might even endanger the federation.—A. and N.Z.
