NEGLECT TO SEEK BOUNTY.
Australian Mothers Ignore Common

rien Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence or The Star.
MELBOURNE, November 80. 1912
The first payments in connection with
the commonwealth maternity allowance
act were made November 1. but there
have been no public rejoicings and.
speaking generally, the scheme is ridi-
culed both by the press and the public.
The act provides for the payment of SO
to every woman who gives birth to a
child, either in Australia or on board "A
ship proceeding from one port OF the
commonwealth to another.
Fortunately for Australia's financial
position. there seems to be too much indie
pendence among the citizens of the COM
monwealth for full advantage to be taken
of the act. for il has been calculated tina
IL the $50 were claimed for every baby
born, for example, in the state of South
Australia in year, it would absorb
more than half the state land tax. The
act came into force October 10 and claims
have to be made within three months OF
the birth, but SO far the number of ap-
plications received by the commissioners
has been practically negligible.
