' ■ ■ J I
SYDNEY, Aug. 8 — Australia is in a j
ferment over the Federal taxation,
proposa », not only because of (he
terrific Increase iu the amount of the ;
to-is. but because of the moral ef
feet of the propositions Tacked on
to a hill providing pensions to chll- !
drew until thev are more than 16 years
Of age is a clause providing for ?h.
payment of a bonus of five pounds
for every child horn in Australia, :
and ihe parentage will not be lu
t.uind into.
\ustralia is greatly desirious of in
creasing its population, and especially
Its native stock. Immigration, eg
cept of the very highest sort is not
encouraged, but this effort, which will
be made by tho Federal authorities
at the session of the Parliament re
oently convened, has brought a storm
of protest from all sources.
All sorts of charges are being
made against the Government and
against the interests which are seen
behind the move to grant a pension
to the children and a bonus for all
children, born, irrespective of their
I'lrfb.
Telegrams are being published by
the Sydney Herald from Melbourne,
wherc the center of opposition is,
that the bonus for babies is a cun
nlngly devised scheme of tho militant
suffragettes to get. votes for women
iu tho Commonwealth.
