rent financial year at 99l ,464 900

not created by the government but
through the demands of the country upon
parliament The chancellor said the gov
ernment would not propose to cover the
deficit by onCroaching upon the sinking
fund devoted to the reduction of
the national debt. IL preferred to
meet the deficit by straightforward
way of increased taxation. The govern
ment would have liked to reform the
death duties by causing all property, per
sonal and real, to be taxed equally,
but the government was obliged
to postpone the reform for
this session, as such taxes could not at
once he fully realized. They had there
fore rcsortcd to the income tax, which it
was proposed TO increase by penny in
the pound, which ought to add
el15O,OO0 to the revenue. The chan
ccllOr went on to say that
the addition of 81, ,I5O, 900 to the rcvonue
would cover the deficit and leave slight
margin over the expenditures.
The only other changes proposed were
to remove the stamp duty on the transfer
Of foreign and colonial securities and 10
increase the stamp duty on contract notes
to shilling.
George j. Goschen, chancellor under
Lord Salisbury, said he would refInin
from cIiticising the budget, but he con
doled with the chancellor Of the ex-
chcqucr in having to meet rising expcndi-
lures with falling revenues
The comments generally were favorable
to the budget.

The Apportion,nert.

Lawyers are generally agreed that
the apportionment. passed ty the last
legislature, is not constitutional, al
though the fac, of its being unconsti-
tutional does not affect the legislature
or invalidate any of its acts. The
c ,urts hold that u legi,la ure, elected
under an invalid arportionment. may
enact valid apportionment. No doubt
the present legislature would pass such
a law were it not prevented by the co,-
stitution. which provides that an APP
portiOnment can not be made until
after the enumeration of the inhabi-
tants in 1898. The constitution also
provides that an apportionment may he
made hy the first legislature after each
enumeration made by authority of the
United States. The last apportiOnment
was passed under this provision, and as
it will probably br declared unconstitu.
tional the old apportionment must
stand at'least u''til 1896. That is. the
next legislature will have 1874 members
in the house and forty-five in the sen
ate. Til. foregoing statements are
based on the opinions of some of the
leading lawyers oi the state.-Pierre
Capitol.
