NOVEL PROPOSAL
FORM OF GOVERNMENT SELECTION BY JUDGES MELBOURNE. June 17 Describing the present Parliamentary Government as carried on by "a lot of nondescripts pulling tho strings in the background," Mr. C. J. Cerutty, former Commonwealth Auditor-General, suggested a new system of Government. His idea was that judges of the High and Supreme Courts bo empowered to appoint tho Government of Australia, this to compriso 20 well-paid members drawn from all sections of the people. He also suggested that State political boundaries bo abolished. Mr. Cerutty added: "Although democracy was conceived on a high piano theoretically, it has descended in practice to such depths of degeneracy and corruption that some change soems bound to come."
