BUDGET DEF IC|ENCY

CRISIS THE GREATEST HARDSHIP
IN STORE FOR THE PRESENT
LIBERAL MINlsTRY-oLD AGE
PENSION BURDEN.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The Liberal min
istry has had 10 endure many fard-
ships, bu. the budget crisis is. perhaps
efter all its greatest rock ahead.
At the present rate OF decline shere
will be budget deficit at the end OF
March next OF SAL 10000. Mr.. Asqulth
estimated for decrease OF $lO,9io,O''',
leaving net deficiency OF s30,2iO'Ooo'
The decreases are spread over every
department OF the public revenue-cus-
toms, excise. estate duty. stamps, lh'
come tax, the SueZ canal, house duty.
etc. 1t is probable that the rate Oh
decline for the last quarter may &c
somewhat checked by the settlement
of the cotton strike and the revival
OF trade in some branches or indus
try, and II Is also likely that the Ia
come tax under the new system VIII
yield more than last year, hut MT.
Lloyd George must be prepared 10
face a deficit of s30,000,O0O And ne
has to meet a great. almost unprece-
denied. increase in expenditure
First comes the new burden or Ola
age pensions, for which Mr.. Asquith
made no provision when the act was
raised. The first years outlay for o'G
pensions cannot be less thon $SO,OVJ,
coo. and is more likely 10 be $So,ooO,-
GOO.
Next comes the navy. In the hght
OF recent developments, and or Mr
Asquith's promises. 1t will lie iinpos-
sible as II is iuexpedient 10 keel the
estimates for the navy at last years
figure. In order 10 replace oosole @
ships, TO provide for new Dread
naughts and more submarines, IL Is
estimated that an additional $4,000
600 will be required.

How to meet these tremendous de-
mands is a staggerer.
While waiting in fear and trembling
for the solution OF the problem with
which the chancellor of the exchequer
has 10 wrestle, it may be OF interest
to see how they raised money In old
days. In 1897 there was tax of five
snillings for every clock within or out
side OF house, ten shillings for every
gold watch kept or worn. seven and
sixpence for every silver watch. and
two and sixpence for a license to
make or deal in clocks or watches.
Then there was the window tax OF
four shillings. Bricks were taxed five
sbillings per 1000, while for the use OF
hair powder the annual tax was one
