Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON. October s.-Mr. Lloyd
George. chancellor Of the exchequer. in
a speech at Newcastle this afternoon
made a vigorous defense of the budget
and a bitter attack on the house of
lords.
He declared that the bill was now
practically in the form in which it was
going to become an act OF parliament.
He said that, instead of the measure
being an attack on industry and prop
erty. 1t was a fact that since its in
PRODUCTION in the house Of commons
trade and industry had improved.
The only stock which had gone down
since the introduction Of the bill. said the
chancellor. was that in dukes. in which
there had been great slump. A fully
equipped duke cost as much to keep up
as couple of Dreadnoughts.
So long as dukes were content to be
mere idols and preserved that kind OF
silence which became their rank and in
telligence. said the chancellor, all went
well. When the budget came, however.
they stepped down from their perches be
cause the measure knocked little gilt
off their stagecOaches.

The chancellor went on dramatically:

The chancellor concluded by declaring
that the government was going to have

Real Estate Men Organize.

A meeting for the purpose of organi-
zation of the leading real estate men of
the State was held Tuesday at The Ad-
Olson, and the association called the
Vermont Real Estate association, came
into being.
The following gentlemen are the Off
GERS chosen for the first year: Pres. j. S,
Reynolds of Burlington; Sec c.-Treas.
Norman S. Foote, Middlebury; directors,
Frederick A. Field. Rutland, John Nash
of Bennington and II. A. Flood of Barre.
The question of double taxation was
brought into discussion, and the con-
sensus of opinion of the assembly was
that if the bill now under discussion at
Montpelier should be enacted into law
it would be hard for the farmers to be
able to borrow money, as the investing
class would be looking for investments
outside of the State
The real estate association believes
that the reliable real estate men of Yer
mont should be given credit not only for
the increased summer business in this
State, but also for inducing outside par
ties to purchase property in Vermont,
which is largely responsible for the in
creased value of real estate the last few
years.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.

The executive board met Jan. 18th at
the home af the President, the following
were present; Mrs. Brainerd, Mrs. Bur
rage, Miss Calendar, Mrs. s. S. Eddy
Mrs. Fletcher, Mrs. Hartman, Mrs
McGilton, Mrs. Noble. Mrs. w. H
Sheldon, Mrs. H. M. Seely.
The secretarys and treasurer's report:
were read and accepted.
Reports were made by four of the
seven standing committees finance, en-.
tertainment, park and street. The ques.
ton of securing mail delivery was
brought up and the majority of those
present favored the measure, and it was
voted that individual influence be used
to bring about what seems to be for the
good of the greater number of citizens,
though those near the post office have
naturally no use for the service.
1t was recommended to the board that
an entertainment be given Feb. 16 and
II in the town hall for the financial aid
of the society.
The entertainment committee has this
in charge. 1t is hoped that any who are
oohcu w dSSlSb Will COTuldlly dlu Ine pro-
Ject and that all public spirited citizens
will patronize the entertainment and re-
ward the workers with full house both
evenings.
1t is supposed the society will give a
first class vaudeville performance-after
the pattern of Keiths and other continu-
GUS exhibitions of the variety order.
1t was recommended that the finance
committee solicit new members and Sc
cure the fees of the former honorary and
active members who have not as yet
handed in their subscription.
1t is earnestly hoped that those who for
various reasons cannot take part in the
committee work of the society will
thoughtfully do their share in its support.
Fifty dollars have been received for the
current year-if every one who wishes
well to the society will give at least
dollar the work will be furthered and
the workers encouraged.
This appeal is to the men as we'll as the
women-the support of all is needed.
Mrs. 8. S. Eddy will receive the SUBJ
scriptions at any time.
The names of the standing committees
will be published later.
