BILL PREPARED
FOR PARLIAMENT
FOR SCOTLAND

London, July 19.--Irritated by the
lack OF opportunities to discuss Scot
tish questions in the house OF COM
mons and somewhat Jealous Of tho
promises of greater control of local
affairs made to Ireland In the kings
speech at the opening OF parliament,
the Scottish members have selected Mr..
Perio. liberal member for the North
division OF Aberdeen, to introduce a
bill providing for the establishment of
a parliament for Scotland
The bill the text of which was issued
today, provides for the creation Of q
single chamber Legislature to deal with
purely Scottish legislation. Peers will
be eligible TO membership and the ex-
exutice power will cntinue to be
vested I'm the crown. The bill also pro-
vides for a revival Of the old Scottish
privy council as II existed prior to the
union.
II Is proposed that the Scottish par
lament shall have power to impose
taxes except excise and customs duties,
the king to be represented by a lord
high commissioner and the seat Of
government TO be at Edinburgh.
Outside OF the friends OF Mr.. Perie,
who favors local self government for
all nationalities. OF the United King
dom, the project is not taken seriously.
There is no demand among the people
of Scotland for local parliament.
