SIMULTANEOUS LEGISLATION
STEP forward in co-operation has been made in respect Io the legislation of Australia and New Zealand, it being provided in tlie Sale of Wool Bill, which proposes to abolish draft allowances in relation to the contracts for the sale of wool, that when enacted the provisions will come into operation with similar legislation in Australia. This co-ordination of legislation is particularly desirable, and in the ease of commercial legislation should be pressed much farther. It is to be hoped that, now a start has been made that such co-operation toward co-ordinated legislation will continue.
The co-ordination of legislative provisions has been practised with advantage by the three Scandinavian countries—Norway, Sweden and Denmark—for many years now, and in this the Scandinavian people have led the world. There is every reason for the Australian States and New Zealand following in ' this direction for the sake of public convenience.
