cHAP. 11] THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA 873 The two Bills for the alteration of the Constitution were passed in the session of 1910 by the following majorities : (1) The Legislative Powers Bill, House of Representatives Senate . 2) Taking over of monopolies. House of Representatives Senate Second Reading 39—251 Third Reading 41—19 Second Reading 18—9 Third Readine 2213. Second Reading 40—21 Third Reading 38—20 Second Reading 20—8 Third Reading 24—12. For the referenda the electorate was approximately the Same as in the previous case. The result of the polling was, for the Legislative Powers Bill (which gave the Common- wealth full power over company law, trade and commerce, and the control as contrasted with the nationalization of monopolies) 483,356, against 742,704, giving a majority against of 259,348 votes? In the case of the Bill for the nationalization of monopolies the figures were 488,668 for, 736,392 against, giving a majority against of 247,724 votes.3 There is no doubt that the position is extraordinary, be- cause the elections of 1910 distinctly turned in great measure on the issue—whether the Commonwealth Parliament should take povers directly by amendment of the Constitution to deal with trade or commerce, or whether the plan advocated by Mr. Deakin and Mr. Cook of obtaining certain definite limited authority by the consent of and the legislation of the states should be adopted. Before the referenda in March, Mr. Fisher, the Prime Minister, and since the referenda, Mr. Hughes, the Attorney- Amendment of principle defeated by this vote. !
