BRITAIN IS FACING
BITTER CAMPAINCN
over THE BUDGET
Lloyd George and Churchill to
Go on the Firing Line for
the Liberals.

London, Dec. 3.--The political crisis
caused by the unprecedented action of
the house OF lords. in refusing its con-
sent to the governments budget Is de-
veloping rapidly.
The cabinet, which had already de-
termined on the policy 1t would pursue
In the event of Lord Lansdowne's
amendment being carried, had an I'M
usually early meeting today to confirm
its decision and consider the wording
of a motion which Premier Asquith will
ask the house of commons to adopt.
This motion will constitute a remon-
STRANGE against what tie liberals on
tend to have been an invasion by the
peers OF III rights of the lower house.
Cabinet All Present.
All the members Of the cabinet were
present at the meeting, which excited
SO much popular interest that q treat
crowd gathered In the vicinity Of No.
10 Downing St, the official residence Of
the premier.
The fact that there was no a remote
possibility even hat the crowd would
learn what t~ranspired within did not
discourage the throng In the street,
whose numbers became so great finally
that a large force of police was sum
moned to prevent a possible demon
stration.
Stftd90to SfS &utSbs
The ministers passed through the
street TO the premier's residence undis-
turbed by suffragets and encouraged
by the cheers of their Supporters.
The time Of the delivery Of the speech
Of prorosation, the substance Of which
was decided OF at yesterdays meeting
OF the cabinet, will depend on the time
occupied for debate on the premier's
motion, which commences tomorrow.
1t is expected. however, that this
discussion will be brief, the speeches
by Encouragement being confined to the
leaders of the u%nionist, liberal. labor
and Irish parties.
Parliament will be prorogued doubt
less until the middle of January, but
the choice of a date is a mere formality
as the present house comes to an end
by dissolution early in the year.
Campaign Opens Friday.
The election campaign will open In
earnest on Friday, when David Lloyd
George, chancellor OF the exchequer,
and Winston Spencer Churchill, presi-
dent of the board of trade. who are
held chiefly responsible for the budget,
and Lord Lansdowne and ]. Austen
Chamberlain, the most ardent oppo-
nents Of the governments measure, will
deliver speeches, and, with the excep-
tion of a brief respite at Christmas,
will continue the fight until election
day.
Means Great Struggle.
In many respects the impending
struggle will be the most interesting in
the parliamentary history OF England.

fTovide-~---much heavier ad valorem
duty. At present the duty on spirits
Is about 1915 a gallon-I am giving
round figures to avoid the confusion
caused by t~ranslating English currency
into cents and fractions Of q cent, but
this figure Is within a few cents OF
the actual amount. The budget proposes
to add about SO cents a gallon to his
tax. Then under the present law the
distiller has to pay a manufacturers
tax of $3.50, no matter what his pro-
duction may be, and the brewer a man.
ufacturer's tax OF SIS. Under the bud-
get proposals the d~istiller would have
to pay a tax of $50 on his first $1,000
gallons. n a further tax of $50 on
each additional 20, 900 gallons, while
the brewer would nave to pay SIS on
his first 100 barrels and SO on each
additional so barrels.
1t is the retailer, however, who will
be hardest hit IL the budget passes. The
present scale of license duties for sale
for consumption on the premises ranges
from $3.50 a e a for premises rent
ing at less than $50 a year, to $500 on
premises renting at $500 q year and
upward. 1t Is proposed to substitute
for these comparatively light duties a
tax equll to so per cent on the rental
value of the premises. This is for full
licenses. Beer houses now pay a fiat
tax of $3.50 a year, but 1t is proposed
that they shall be taxed a third Of their
rental value every year.
Revenue Not Increased.
On the whole 1T is expected that the
new taxes IL passed will not bring in
much additional revenue Some of them
those which are only straight addi-
tions to existing taxes-go into effect
immediately the budget bill Is intro
duced in the house of and,
therefore, have been in operation for
nearly six months. The revenue, how
ever, has not been appreciably in
creased. This Is partly due, of course.
to the fact that large quantities of
spirits were withdrawn from bond in
anticipation of the increase, but the
liquor dealers assert that the .consump-
ton has fallen off heavily In conse-
quence OF the increased prices which
they were compelled to charge their
customers. It is also asserted that the
new taxes will ave the effect of driv-
ing a number of the smaller places
which are nov only earning a hand to
mouth living for their proprietors, n
tirely out of business. but this, of
course, is just What the temperance re-
formers, who are very powerful In the
liberal party. desire.
One of the features in the bill as orig
inally introduced reused such a storm
Of opposition that the government was
compelled to modify 1t. This was the
provision relating TO hotel licenses Ho-
tells were TO be assessed on the basis
of their rental value, in the same way
as the regular drinking den, and the
result would nave been to close up half
the palatial hotels of London, In which
tho Sar -cry subordinate feature
indeed. The hotel men induced the
liberals 10 change their proposals SO
that both hotels and clubs should pay
an ad valorem tax or the quantity Of
liquor consumed In them.

NicARAGUAN REBELS
IN A JUBIIANT MOOD

Washington, Dec. 4.-There is reioic-
Ing today in the ranks of the Nicara-
guam discretionary party and CORE
spending gloom among those who have
been friends of President Zelaya, over
the ultimatum HANDED down by the
United States to the N%icaraguan gov
eminent in the note which
MED the passports delivered by Secre-
tary of State Knox to Felipe Rodriguez,
charge d'affaires of the Nicaraguan le-
cation. The strength of the note and
its personal tone are the subjects Of
comment in diplomatic circles. 1t is
generally recognized that the United
States has decided the time has come
to put an end to further attacks on
American life and interests in Central
America.
The far-reaching effect of the note
is q matter of especial comment. The
fact that President Zelaya is apparent
ly to be held responsible for the shoot
ing of the Americans, Groce and Cam
non, n that the note intimates that
Zelaya is the culprit, adds a string to
the matter.
Concealed in the vigorous note dis
tated by Secretary Knox Is seen d
warning to the Central Americans that
they must behave and conduct them
selves as other republics in the western
hemisphere conduct themselves. This
and the direct announcement that the
United States intends to see that the
family of western republics lives mar
moniously is believed by diplomats to
be epochal.
The Knox document is one OF the
most scathing issued from the state de-
partment in late years.
Having promptly notified the Mica
ragua government in a lengthy cable
gram that the American secretary of
state had last night presented him
with his passport, Senior Felipe Rod
riguez, charge d'affaires of Nicaragua
in Washington, today is awaiting in
structions from President Zelaya as
to what course he is to follow, now
that diplomatic relations between the
United States n Nicaragua have
been severed.
What further representations, If any,
he may make to the United States
through the state department. or where
he will go will depend entirely upon
the orders which he expected would
be forthcoming in the course of the
day from President ZeIaya.
Mr.. Rodriguez said he had received
10 further information regarding the
progress of affairs in Nicaragua.

Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-Seven hundred
marines equipped for any eventuality
will leave the Philadelphia navy yard
at q o'clock this afternoon on board the
transport Prairie for the Panama canal
zone, or probably Nicaragua. The
Prairie, originally scheduled to sail
tomorrow with 700 marines, has been
ready to leave for a week.
While the officers bluejackets and
marines who are about to sail on the
Prairie are ostensibly scheduled to
leave for the Panama canal zone to re-
ieive marines now on duty there, the
men felt sure the S9atest turn in the
Nicaraeuan situation dispeIs any doubt
about their ultimate destination. They
are in high spirits and eager to get

A rear admiral of the navy it is said,
will sail on the Prairie when that ves-
Sc! leaves this afternoon. This is re-
garded as significant, in view of Sec
rotary knox's letter to the Nicaraguan
charge d'affaires.
The rank of Lieutenant Colonel Ma
hanoy has been advanced to that of
colonel, and he will command the 700
marines on the Prairie.
