1620 ADDENDA November 1911, which followed, returned the Government with andiminished strength. The Commonwealth by Act of 1911 has introduced compulsory registration, and has abolished the postal vote and substituted an absent vote, which New South Wales adopted by Act No. 9 of 1911. The measure was criticized as unfair to women and invalids, and defended on the ground of corruption in the use of the postal vote. See also Humphreys, Proportional Representation. Prince Edward Island has not yet adopted the ballot. See also New Zealand Act No. 19 of 1911. Pace 625. In 1911 the Victorian Council suggested an amendment to the Public Works Loan Appropriation Bill, which would have reduced an item for cold storage by £75,000, and altered the applica-~ tion of the sum left (£9,000). The Assembly declined to accept the suggestion, whereupon the Council rejected the Bill on the third reading (Debates, 1911, pp. 1967, 1998), and it also so changed a measure regarding wages boards that the Government abandoned it. On the other hand, it unexpectedly passed the Bill for com- pulsory preferential voting, perhaps because it was expected to be disadvantageous to labour. In the same year the Tasmanian Council contented itself with rejecting a Bill regarding the maintenance of testators’ families. The South Australian Council rejected the Veto Bill in 1911 : under this Bill, if a Bill is passed thrice in separate and successive sessions by the Assembly, a general election inter- vening after the second passing, the Bill may be presented to the Governor for assent; in the Lower House the second reading was passed by 21 to 15, and the third by 21 to 10. In the debates it was pointed out that the result of giving women the franchise in 1894 had been to increase the strength of the ownership voters and to render the House more Conservative : the proportions of voters are now, Assembly, 182,935 ; Council, 64,390. "It was also pointed out that since 1894 repeated efforts had been made to secure a better franchise ; in 1901-3 Mr. Jenkins’s Ministry proposed household suffrage and the dual vote; in 1905 the coalition of Labour and Democratic Liberals proposed £15 occupation qualification and the dual vote, but though this was carried in 1905 and 1906, and a general election fought on the point in 1906, yet even in 1907 only 3 £17 occupation qualification without the dual vote was conceded by Act No. 920, together with votes for lessees with £50 improvements, ministers, teachers, postmasters, railway stationmasters, and officers in charge of police stations residing on government property, and the crease on the numbers enrolled was only 8,530 in three years. An adult suffrage proposal carried by 22 to 19 in the House was rejected in the Council by 4 to 12 in 1910, and the Land Tax Bill of the Govern- ment was rejected on second reading (Council Debates, pp. 473 seq.). At the end of 1911 the Council rejected the Appropriation Bill because it included provision for Government brick works for all purposes; an appeal for Imperial intervention was declined by the Secretary of State on the ground that every constitutional remedy
