WOMEN'S FRANCHISE. [tJHITJD PRBBB ASBOOUTYOR-] Melbourne, July 19. In the debate on the second reading of the Bill to grant the franchise to women, opinions are for the most part either against the principle altogether, or m favor of ascertaining whether the great body of women demand the franchise. The Premier suggested that when women demanded the franchise they would have to get it ; but he will leave the matter until after next election, and m the meantime find out, by means of the Referendum, whether the women wanted it. The debate is proceeding. Hobabt, July 19. The Legislative Counoil has reduced the income tax on realised wealth from Is to lOd. The Government is not likely to accept the amendment providing for the assessment of land on unimproved value, which passed the Legislative Assembly by a large majority.
