AUSTRALIAN POLITICS.
USE OF PUBLIC MONEY. DANGER SEEN BY PREMIER. A. and N.Z. ADELAIDE, Jan. 28. The Premier, Mr. It. L. Butler, speaking at, the Australian Natives Association meeting, said that the Australian Governments had more or less engaged in activities which it would have been as well to have left to private enterprise. Politicians had been encouraged to court popularity and support by the lavish expenditure of public money. This had become one of the most dangerous elements in political life, and if it continued it would have a demoralising effect on the individual and would cause chaos. There was still new country to be developed, and they required men of pioneering spirit for it.
