Trying to Adopt the American Model of Federationâ€"The (tumullnn I’lan May Answer Their Purpose Better. The Australian convention is still in session at Adelaide, South Australia. toiling with the problem of a consti- tution which is to knit together in federal union New South Wales, Vic- toria, South Australia. Queensland, ”Western Australia, and probably Tas- gmania. \Vhether it will succeed in ldraftinx an acceptable and workable lplan for a new Colonial Dominion re- mains to be seen. According to mail advices by steamer Miowera last wee-k, the prospect is not bright. Ef- forts to come to an agreement are said to be blocked by the jealousies of different colonies. One vital matter on which it seems impossible to find com- mon ground is the fixing of. the powers of the Upper Chamber. That is a cru- cial difficulty. The convention is fol- lowing the American. rather than the Canadian, model of federation. It pro- ceeds on the principle that all powers not expressly delegated to the central iautzhority are reserved by the consti- tuent States or provinces. Of course the several colonies are jealous of their PRESENT INDEPENDENCE. and are loath to spare much of it to the union. A small colony will. want its State or provincial rights fully guar- anteed and protected by the constitu- tion. As the convention has agreed on a Legislature after the pattern of that of the United States, the Upper House or State Council, or Senate, is to be the stronghold of States rights, the re- fuge of minorities. It is in the task of defining the powers of that second i Chamber therefore that the convention finds its greatest stumbling block. Here ' its delegates fall into two groups. each stubbornly determined to carry its point. The smaller colonies hold the balance of power. What they are contending for is the inclusion in the powers of the Senate of a right to amend money bills. These small col- onies are aware that in the pOpular ‘ Chamber, which we may call the Com- mons, where representation would go by population, their delegation would ‘not equal those of the big coloniesâ€" New South \Vales and Victoria. If therefore fiscal matters were decided‘ by the Lower House alone. they would practically be controlled by the two most pOpulous colonies. If, on the other hand, the Upper Chamber had the right of amending all bills deal- ing with taxation. the small colonies would practically have control of FINANCIAL LEGISLATION , for, on the American plan, in the Up- per House, each of the four small 001- onies would have as many members as would each of the two large colonies, A»: . ttitudes it will be hard , telâ€"find a compromise so long as the ’ convention adheres to the American I plan of federation and the American structure of legislature. It is perhaps as well that the delegates should fam- " iliarize themselves with that system of " checks ,or rather of deadlocks. at the , e two sides have fought each othertoa stant .. division of powers between the Fed- eration and the States, they may turn to the Canadian plan, and find some- " thing to answer their purpose.
