BUDGET NOW UP TO THE
HOUSE OF LORDS.

Cables from London say the house
of commons has passed the budget, or
finance bill, by a vote of $40 TO 40. It
was passed amid memorable scenes.
with a great attendance of members
and peers and crowded diplomatic gal
leries, an indication Of the deep in
terest taken in the financial program of
Lloyd-George, not alone in England.
but in every civilized country. And
for this interest there is substantial
reason, for the proposed English budget
goes 70 the roots Of the taxation cues
ton, and if it becomes law it is Ger
tain to have a profound effect through
out the world.
1t is now up TO the house Of lords
TO decide what It VIII do with the
budget whether it VIII reject it out
right and thus bring on test Of senti-
ment on the direct question of the
merits of this measure in the eyes Of
the English people, or whether an at
tack by indirection viii be made on the
L2oyd-George program by offering an
alternative bill.
Much has been said 10 the effect the
existence Of the house of lords depends
on whether it rejects or accepts this
measure. But this is incidental to the
real Importance of it. In no great
civilized nation has so radical a revenue
and taxation program been seriously
proposed. If it is passed it means that
the English people, whose enlighten-
ment in matters of government is con-
coded, have gone well-nigh as far as
possible from indirect taxation. and
have determined to raise taxes almost
wholly by direct methods, making
every man pay in proportion TO his
ability 20 pay. or, at least, approx
mating that end.
Mr.. Lloyd-George has definitely set
out to compel the burden Of taxes to
fail on the rich of England and those
best able to pay and to relieve the
poor His plan is at once a great taxa
ton and fiscal plan and at the same
time it has a social side Of the utmost
moment.
OF tremendous consequence is the
question of this budget To the British
Teople. but it is Of even more i'm
portauce TO other countries, including
tie United States. If it is adopted,

Bob Taylor
PardOning Governor.


When "FfddHng Bob" TAYLOR was
three times governor Of Tennessee. he
was known as the "Pardoning Gov
ernor."
On his rounds in Washington or in
the Senate CHAMBER he has a kindly
ieok, and his appearance is borne out
~ the fact that he pardoned more
nen and boys. and turned them out OF
the penitentiary than any other gov
ernor the State ever had.
An instance OF his fame among his
own people because Of this course of
conduct IS we'll illustrated by a story
told Of an old man who had been given
a pardon by Taylor. The ex-congict
was at a religious revival meeting in
