AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.
— STATE DISABILITIES. SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S POSITION. (Received Thursday, 10.10 a.m.) * ADELAIDE, This Day. According to a Committee appointed by the State Government to report on the evidence submitted to the Royal Commission on State Disabilities federation, as far as South Australia is concerned, has proved a failure. The report says that South Australia is unable to moot her liabilities with the imposition of destructive taxation out, of all proportion to that levied on other States. As the result of the federation, the people and industries of South Australia have laboured many years under a burden of taxation materially heavier than that imposed on other States. Unless steps are taken to remedy this condition, the contrast between the prosperity in the manufacturing States in the East and the stagnation in the primary producing States in the AAcst must inveitably result in the creation of a spirit of resentment, which might even endanger the federation.
