THE BRITISH BUDGET.
Presented in the House of Commons
by Mr.. Asquith.

LONDON, May S.-The budget, for the
first time in many years, was presented
to the house of commons yesterday
by the premier, Mr. Asquith, instead of
by the chancellor Of the exchequer. This
departure from precedent Is a result of
the recent changes in the cabinet and
it was thought better. inasmuch as Mr..
Asquith. i'm his capacity as chancellor of
the exchequer, had prepared the budget,
that he should himself explain it to par
lament.
No budget Of recent years has been
awaited with so much interest as this
one. Everybody was keen to learn of
the governments scheme for old-age PEN
sions. The house. consequently. was
packed and its galleries were overfiowing
with visitors.
Mr.. Asquith. after CONNIE nting briefly
on the present slackening of trade
throughout the world. following the boom
year of 1907. announced that Great Brit
aims realized surplus for the year 1907.S
amounted to S23t5O,OOO. which he said
would be largely applied to the reduction
of the national debt.
Commenting on the differentiation in the
income tax introduced In the last budget.
Mr.. Asquith said this had proved practi-
cal; that ii had worked easily: that il had
removed irregularities. and that it had
brought in $9.4OOOO more than had been
estimated
The national debt, the premier said,
had been reduced by approximately 500
GOo.OOo during the past year. further
reduction of about 100000 would be
effected during the current year. and
Great Britain's debt would then stand at
the same figure as twenty years ago in
spite of the great cost of the South Afri-
can war.
Some other countries. Mr.. Asquith said,
which were supposed to enjoy a happier
fiscal system than Great Britain were
obliged to borrow yearly to make both
ends meet. 1t was not an unhappy ref1ec-
ton on British conditions that i'm three
years the country had been enabled to
pay off between $2OO,COOOOO and $25OOO0, :
Geo Of it's debt.
Mr.. Asquith estimated the total ex-
penditure for 190S-9 at $764, 600 and
the revenue on the existing basis of tax
alton at $7SS. $4,000.
Coming to the main feature Of the
budget-the matter of old-age pensions
Mr.. Asquith said it had been decided to
rule out all contributory schemes and
provide the pensions from the national
treasury.
