FEDERAL POLITICS.
I A FINANCE SCHEME. BASIS OF SETTLEMENT. United Press Association -By Electric Telegraph , Copyighl. Received August 18, 11 a.m. MELBOURNE, August 18. After a further interview with Mr Deakin, the Premiers' Conference has formulated a scheme dealing with finance, which will be submitted to Mr Deakin to-day. It is understood that the scheme suggests that the Commonwealth contribution to the States should be on the basis of thirty shillings per head of population, and if this is accepted, the states are prepared to help the Commonwealth as regards old age pensions in the present year, and thus do away with the necessity of the Federal Government borrowing to meet its obligations.
