BATTLE OVER BUDGET
4SQUITHsS KEEN TACTICS.
Surplus May ETteRd Cabinets Life
-Oatlo0k in Lords.

Especial h,. French cable 10 The Tribunel
London. Nay There IS 10 lack of politics
in England but everything turns upon the
budget The session viii be filed with con
troversy and strife, and there may be a con-
fict between the houses in the final stage. The
Unionists describe it as a socialistic dissolu-
tion budget. but there is prima facte evidence
that the government is bent upon holding office
throughout the year and dissoIving Parliament
IN the summer or early autumn Of 1910. The
deficiency revenues. instead Of being minjmized.
have been artificially increased, and the Chan
cellor is deliberately budgeJng for a consid-
cradle surplus next year. This is shown by the
gross underestimate Of the production from the
Increased duty on spirits. Everything indicates
astute policy Of creating large surplus next
year and appealing to the country after the
taxes on tobacco and tea have been RENTED
for the benefit of the masses.
Moreover while direct taxation has been car
ried as far as practicable. new source Of reve-
nue. has been opened in the taxation OF land
values. While the immediate Weld is small,
there is a prospect OF immense expansion If 4
system Of land valuation throughout the. king
dom is established since the peI-rntages Of the
Treasury's share in The unearned increment of
landholders can be increased precisely as the
income from taxation and death duties has been
enlarged The last ditch Of Free Trade is not
income taxation but land taxation
The most interesting question relating 10 this
extraordinary politiCa! budget is the veto power
of the Lords The Liberals contend that the
Lords cannot interfere with the budget without
a breach Of the exclusive privilege OF the lower
house over taxation. Unionist politicians. how
ever, are gravely discussing whether the Lords
cannot amend or throw out the sections dealing
with the land tax, and when these are re-
stored either by ruling of the Speaker or by
e majority vote IN the Commons, reject the
budget altogether. This course is advocated on
the ground that the government is proposing a
new system Of obtaining revenue from land and
one which will become the basis Of local rating
throughout the kingdom. and that the electors
ought te be allowed TO decide whether they will
nave il or prefer the alternative system of tariff
reform Whether the Lords will have the nerve
10 make determined stand against the taxation
of land values cannot be known until July
