REOPEN BUDGET DEBATE
LORD MORLEY TALKS ON BEHALF
 OF GOVERNMENT.
Declares Amendment Proposed By House Consnins Radical De-
 Departure from Censtftu-
 tfonnl Usage sad Prnc-

London, Nov 2s.--Lord Morley. of Blackburn, secretary of state Tor in- iia. re-opened the budget debate In the House of Lords tonight on behalf of the government.
 The amendment which the House of Lords proposed to pass. said Lord Morley, though 1t contained but couple of lines, Involved no fewer than i've points each in turn consti- .tuting more radical departure from constitutional usage and practical convenience.
 Tn the first place the amendment ailocated to the House of Lords the taxing power. Next 1t is assumed the power of enforcing penal dissolution by refusing supplies. Then there must be a new parliament whenever the sitting parliament had the misfortune to displease their lordshfps of the second chamber. And again, If these propositions are proved. they are changing Representative supremacy in- to an oligarchic and non-representa" tive supremacy.
 Finally they are throwing out of gear the whole financial machinery for the year.
 Taxes had been collected. Lord Nor ley said, on the authority of the house by custom and not by law. and all Wcni VII EcBat4Ai eAA .fF~ ton bill was passed. when the resolu- tion became law. In the words or the late Lord Salisbury. said the speaker. the two chambers could not have voices ip the finances of the government. but "the lords belonged too much to one class. and conse- auently. in respect of a large number of questions. the lords are too much of one mind" ,..
 It has been said that the house might repeal the septennial act; but the repeal of that act was the very operation that the lords were about to perform.
 Appealing to history. Lord Morley declared 1t contained no such provo cative of the ferceness of conflict as that of constitutional revision. The note had been sounded. he added. for the angriest and perhaps most pro- nounced battle.
 Lord Rothschild. liberal unionist, who Is a lieutenant of the city of Lon don, and who spoke in the debate on behalf of the unionists. said that the city was ready tp pay fair share of the nations expenditure. but that he was opposed to many of the provisions of the budget ,as they were likely to impair credit and destroy confidence.

ROADS APPEAL TO COURT.
Faii to Pay Cerstitptienai Tax sn Gross
 Revenues

Guthrie, Ok. Nov. 2s.--Four railroad companies asked the United States Court today to restrain the State au- thorities from issuing tax warrants for the seizure and sale of their properties on account of their failure to pay the constitutional tax of one-half of 1 per cent. on their total gross revenues.
 A large amount is involved. as the State claims taxes not only in intra- state business but on the Oklahoma portion of interstate business entering and leaving the state.
 The roads declare their rights, priv ileges and franchises were acquired from Congress prior to Statehood and that the State may not collect taxes on revenues arising from business con- dueted under these concessions.
 The roads in the suit are the Santa FNe, Rock Island. Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe, and the Missouri. Kansas and Texas

Gompers And Others Present Recon
 mendations to Taft.

Washington. Nov. 2s-Recommenda- tions which they hope the President will incorporate in his annual message were laid before the executive today by Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell. James OConneu and Frank Morrison.
 The foremost of these concerned the issuance of injunctions by federal judges and exemption of labor organi- zations from certain provisions of the sherman antitrust act. The Presi- dent practically has decided to make no detailed recommendation regard ing the Sherman act because specific recommendati now might be con- strued as an attempt to influence the supreme court, where important cases Involving the act are pending, This decision Is a decided change from his attitude of few weeks ago.
