POWER OF LORDS
TO Be CURTAILED
Premier Campbell Bannerman
Moves His Resolution in the
British Commons.

London. June 2i.-Premier Campbell
Zimmerman today moved his resolution
curtailing the power of the house of lords
before the fullest house of the session.
The galleries also were crowded, those
present in that part of the house of COM
mons including many peers.
The resolution was as follows:
That in order to give effect to the
viii of the people, as expressed by their
elected representatives. ii is necessary
that the power of the other house to alter
or reject bills passed by this house should
be restricted by law: that within the
limits Of a single parliament the final
decision of the house of commons shall
prevail
Replying to a question. the premier sd id
il was not proposed that the resolution
should be moved in the upper house after
its discussion in the house of commons
had been completed.
He emphasized the fact that the reso-
luton embodied the principle OF the pre-
dominance of the house of commons and
eminent was following certain historic
presidents.
Merely alta Test.
The resolution itself, even if adopted.
would not have the effect of law or pro-
necessary and the government would ex-
ercise its discretion as to when il should
be introduced. His majestys ministers
have decided to test the opinion of MEM
bers and make sure that they have the
house of commons behind them. They
hold the view that the house of commons
alone is authorized TO express the coun-
try's sentiments. He declared that the
only course open was to recognize the
constitutional authorities which resided
in the house of commons.
Amidst loud ministerial cheers the pre-
mier protested that parliament should not
be usurDed by a nOn-elective house. The
government proposed that there should
be conferences between the house of com
mons and the house of lords where diff
ferences arise over bill If no agree
ment was reached the bill should be re-
introduced and sent to the house of lords
with a declaration that should a sec
Ond conference fail to result in an agree
ment. the house of commons would pass
the bill over the head of the lords.

made Monday mornings at committee
meetings, and currency was the usual
medium of exchange, because it was
easier to handle and fhe clerks outside
could not hear any Jingle such as would

For the first couple Of weeks the
pickings were disappointing. This ac-
counts for the greed displayed when

sum Things got better after the fight
trust broke the ice, and it wasn't long
until the gas company delighted the
members with $3.50 each. In those days
little thought was given TO the possi-

ing them $4,000 apiece. After that the

His idea is that we should have a ma

prohibit divorce except on scriptural
grounds. This is the rule of the So
