Webb, S.M., was appointed a Royal Commission to lnonlre Into the pur chase by tho Vaughns Labour Party Go vernment of a property at Enfield, near Ade laide, for a mcnlai hospital site. His r3 port caused th retirement from the Cabinet of Mr. A. W. Styles, who was Minister for Education.

Mr. Webb found that Mr. Styles betrayed the business of the Government in relation to the' "purchase of the land to a land agent named West, who thus dealt with tne uovernmeni under an unfair advantage. Since then Mr. StyleB has made persistent attempts to obtain a fresh Investigation of cirtu Distances.

The Chief Justice and other judges laBt year declined to review Mr. Webb's findings, and many members of Parliament on both sides ot the House refused to act on a Royal Commission for that purpose. Finally, however, one -Liberal -ind two Labour members were found to undertake the duties of a Royal Commission to again inquire into tne purchase of the En field property. Yesterday Mr. Styles gave evidence before the new commission, and declared that he had been treated before the Webb Commission in "a wicked and un-Brltlsh wav Mr.

Webb had said that Mr. Styles's demeanour in tne witncss-Dox was unsatisfactory, and, commenting upon this, Mr. Styles said, If there is one thing more than all others that I steer clear of, tt is the law courts and lawyers. I don't like them. If I was an unsatisfactory witness In the eyes ot Mr.

Webb. it was because of the environment. It was repulsive to me. I was dragged from my office, a very busy office. It was at a time when the house was in session, and some of the bills were being considered and prosecuted.

It was not quite fair to place me in sucn a position. i reoeuea against it. In my evidence so far before this Commission I have thrown all my cards upon the table, I am most- anxious you do not know how anxious I am to get the truth Mr. Styles declared that West was previously a stranger to htm, and' that he had not helped West In any way.

SERIOUS EFFECT OF PROPOSED REDUCTION. mo ABLE ET RENC I EXT MELBOURNE, Sunday. The proposal by the Commonwealth to reduce progressively the per capita payments to tho States from 25 to 10 would lead to severe and unfair retrenchment tn Victoria, declared the State Treasurer (Mr. M'Pherson) on Saturday In a memorandum of protest, a copy ot which ho has forwarded to the Federal Treasurer (Mr. Watt).

Mr. M'Pherson said that the Acting Prime Minister's present proposal that after June, 1920, the present per capita payment of 25 should be diminished progressively by 26 per head of the population In each year, in eftuct meant thnt In place of the States receiving from the Commonwealth In the third ten-year period, 1920-ttu, a sum of, approximately. 76,000.000, they would receive only 41,000,000, or abont 3.1,000,000 loss than would have been received under the existing arrangement. Mr. Watt said that one reason for this proposal was on account of the Commonwealth's heavy payment for Interest and sinking fund on war loans and war penBiona.

Clearly, then, the States were being nskod to henr thvao tmrdcnB on account of war expenditure. As the power of both direct and Indirect taxation was in the hands of the Commonwealth, and also in view nf th fact that each day should, now that tho war was over, decrease its expenditure, the Federal Government. In place of embarrassing the finances of tho six States, should accopt the war burdens as being Commonwealth re-sponslblltles. tl was Impossible to develop the States without the expenditure of more capital and Incurring Increased Interest charges. If the States were to be so seriously hampered In their finances, and still exist as States, It must Inevitably mean reduction of services, drastic and unfair retrenchment, and the orobablA dismissal of public officers.

10 WAR BONDS. MELBOURNE, Sunday. Acting on proposals placed before It, the federal Treasury recently communicated with "-'the Stock Exchanges of Australia to see If arrangements could bo. made for the Com; Dionwealth Bank to purchase 10 war bonds at current Exchange priceB In order to moot the convenience of small holders. The Exchanges pointed out that therewould be great difficulty In doing what was Intended, as many large holders of war bonds possessed them In 10 denominations, and future- Investors would 'probably take security in that The result would be to destroy to some extent the value of the Stock Ex- change in bringing buyers and sellers together and then establishing suitable prices.

It was further pointed out that already small holders could easily dispose of their bonds, as any broker would undertake the business for the nominal commission of 1 on a 10 bond. The Treasury decided that, In view of the tfllmoiiltlee and the facilities already existing for selling bonds, It would not adopt the proposal. SUGAR SUPPLIES. MELBOURNE, Sunday.
