The other planks adopted were promotion of domestic legislation to advance the internal interests of the colony, abolition of patronage combined with economy in the civil service, prevention of the influx of inferior races. ' - An explanatory note added that im the matter of taxation the accqm plishment of federation will compel a resort to direct taxation for the purposes of the State Government in supplementation of the proportional Bams received from the federal customs revenue. f Meantime other matters of more I urgency to meet the wants of the people demand immediate attention. w A strong committee was forme""' and it was decided to make federation a feature of the elections.
