TOO MANY GOVERNMENTS
BURDEN ON AUSTRALIAN TAXPAYER NEW RECOMMENDATIONS Reed. 11 a.m. MELBOURNE, Today. The belief that Australia has too many Governments for its 6.000,000 of population, thereby increasing the burden of taxation, finds support, says the “Melbourne Herald" in the reports of the Constitutional Commission, which was appointed last year to inquire into the constitution of the Commonwealth, in the light of experience gained since the. Federation. The four sectional reports which have been prepared on the matter suggest giving increased powers to the Commonwealth Government. A Labour minority report recommends the abolition of the State Parliaments, as at present constituted, and the creation of new States or provinces, j governed by local bodies deriving their j powers from the Commonwealth ParI liament.
