The uniform income taxation proposals having been rejected by the .States, tlie Federal Treasurer (Mr Fadden) said consideration of what steps would now be taken was a matter for the Commonwealth Government He added: “I sincerely regret the decision. I feci tlie States have viewed tlie matter from the angle of undue and unwarranted fear that the Commonwealth is seeking power to usurp tlie functions of the .States and that they have looked upon tlie proposal as a permanent surrender ol their rights rather than as a temporary measure, f could understand the (States’ attitude in peacetime, but 1 cannot undestand! it when the nation is at a war crisis which may bring us much closer to the reality of war.”
