by the editor of THE London Chronicle"
London. Nov 22-The British Liberals
regard the action of the House Of Lords
n threatening to throw out the budget
as an act of war against representative
government
All of the power and pride and majesty
of the House Of Commons are derived
from its hitherto unqueslioned control
over the finances of the nation From
the days Of the PlantaPenet kings the
Commons of England have jealously
guarded as their peculiar right tho
granting Of aids and subsidies to the
crown, and even under the powerful
Tudor monarch this right was preserved
intact In bygone centuries the three
estates of the realm, the barons, the
clergy and the commons. each meeting
respectively i'm the House Of Lords i'm
convocation and in the House of Com
mons. voted separately their money
grants To- the crown.
AS commerce and industry developed
and as the towns grew the commOnalty
became more and more important. and
i'm process of time the representative
House Of Commons. as the microcosm of
the nation, became predominant in
finance.
IL has long been maxim of the Brit
igh constitution that the crown de-
I-ands money. the Commons grant il and
the Lords assent To the grant"
BY its uncontrolled power over
finance the House OF Commons has been
able to thwart the arbitrary acts and
break the tyranny of kings, recogniz-
ing that if it lost control of finance it
would lose everything.
The Iiauor and land monopOlies have

Washington. Nov. 22-Secretary Mac
Veagh of the Treasury Department an
nounced to-day that James S. Clarkson.
Surveyor OF the Port of New York, will
sever his connection with the govern
ment on January | next.
His successor has not been chosen. but
il is believed a New York man will get
the place. which is regarded as one of
the most desirable posts in the gov
ernment service. 1t is understood that
various persons are under consideration
for Surveyor and that the selection of
Mr.. CIarkson's successor will he taken
up in the near future by President
Taft and Secretary MacVeagh-
Treasury officials are emphatic in their
statement that the recent customs
frauds in New York have no bearing
whatever on Mr.. Clarkson's retirement
as Surveyor His record is clean in
every way. although he is not regarded
as the type Of Surveyor that would In
itiate farreaching and radical reforms
in the service.
In fact. practically the only criticism
of Mr. Clarkson is that he is unduly
conservative i'm making departures from
the existing order of things. The Treas
ury Departments plans for the rehabili-
tation of the customs service involve
a general shaking up of both men and
methods in all the branches of that
service at the New York port.

II is the desire Of the department that
there shall be in the office of the sur

in a positive way, similar TO that IN
which Mr. Loeb has handled the Col

most important port of entry.
Early this year there were reports that
Mr.. Clarkson was to be relieved OF duty
al New York. Iowa friends of the sur
veyor heard these rumors and Senator
DoIliver and other members OF the Iowa
delegation in Congress had a conference
with President Taft. at which they urged
the President not 10 make change.
Some Of the active and prominent New
York Republicans. including the state
chairman. Timothy L. Woodruff, urged
that a New York man be appointed Sur
veyor and that such selection be not de-
Iayed Mr.. Taft felt that it would not
be wise to act precipitately in making
selection for this important position. bat
intimated that a change would be made
in the first year of his administration.
Mr. Clarkson was appointed Surveyor
at New York in 1902. The fact that he
was a resident of Iowa displeased GER
tain New York political leaders. who felt
that Mr. Roosevelt should have given
this choice position to a home man who
