TASMANIA’S BUDGET

HOBART, September 2. The Tasmanian Budget contains the remark :—“ Economise as we may, we will be debarred from attaining a more satisfactory financial position through the un-Federal spirit which has been displayed and the incapacity for work shown by the majority of members’ of the Commonwealth Parliament. The remedy rests with the States themselves, wh.o should choose representatives who would study their interests.” .

Mr Nicholls has tabled a motion that the reflections in the Statement on the capacity of the Federal members is improper and should be withdrawn.
