GOVERNMENT IN AUSTRALIA. CONSTITUTIONAL COMMISSION. FOUR .REPORTS PREPARED. (United Press Association —By Electric Teiegraplt Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) Received 10.45 a.in. t-o-dav. MELBOURNE, Sept. 5. Tlie belief that Australia has too many governments for its six millions of people, 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 the experience gained since the federation. Hour 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 governed by local bodies, deriving their powers from the Commonwealth Parliament.
