Great interest in the feat was shown

" 8 the British house of lords about
to be abolished or radically shorn
OF It's powerl That Is the larger
question looming up behind the
fight over the budget in England. The
warning of Lord Rosebery that the
very existence of the upper chamber
Is In jeopardy was not an idle threat.
1t was given all the more force by
the fact that Rosebery himself is OPP
posed to the budget. He would like
to see 1t defeated. but questions either
the right OF the policy Of the lords to
bring about that defeat. He rgards
the stake as too great. In destroying
the budget they destroy themselves.
He was ably seconded by Lord Bal
four of Burleigh, who In plain English
told the peers that If they won In their
fight against the budget their victory
would be but temporary, while If they
lost the defeat would be permanent.
They would not only fail in killing the
budget, but would end their own
power.

In adopting Lord Lansdownes mo-
ton to reject the budget pending an
appeal to the nation it Is contended
that the peers are guilty of a twofold
usurpation of power-one against the
commons and the other against the
king. Since 1858 the exclusive control
of financial matters has been in the
house of commons. For the lords now
to assume the right to reject finan-
cial measure is the first act of usurpa
ton. Lord Lansdowne's motion re-
quires a dissolution of parliament.
The right to dissolve parliament, how
ever. belongs to the crown. This Is
the second act of usurpation.
The Day of Settlement.
the first offense of the lords. Several
other reform measures proposed by
the present government and passed by
the commons have met their death in
the upper cha mber, just as Gladstone's
home rule bill was killed few years
ago. All these things have been al
lowed to accumulate against the day
of wrath. They have not been forgot.
ten. They were kept In allegiance only
to be presented as different counts
In the indictment when the people of
England came to pass judgment on
their house of peers. Has the day of
settlement finally come?
The British budget is the omnibus
financial measure of each year, con-
tanning the taxation and revenue pro-
visions. The present one, over which
all this fight has been raised, is de-
nounced as socialistic. but the detni-
ton is not accurate. The budget is
more in line with Henry Georges sim
gle tax, which is quite another thing
from socialism. The single tax, or a
modified form of it known as the land
tax. has already been adopted in por-
tons of the British empire, notably in
New Zealand and Australia. This
measure would put it in force in Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland. The tax
is laid with especial emphasis on the
''unearned increment"-that Is, the
value which is put into the land by
the community and not by the owner.
For example, a man owns a farm near
which or on which springs up a city.
Because of the city the land increases
immensely in value, although the in
dividual owner has contributed moth
ing to that increase. 1t is made wholly
by the community. This is the I'M
earned increment, and on such social
value accruing in future the budget
lays it's impost. There are other pro
visions in kind; also a considerable tax
on liquor. 1t is the land tax and liquor
tax that have caused the trouble.
Lords and Liquor Interests.
In Great iirlrain the land is largely
owned by the lords, and 1t now tran
spires that these sclons Of nobility are
financially interested in the liquor
concerns. Between the two they get
1t both ways. They are being hit ~
the pocketbook, and that is the reason
they are usurping a power that nc
British house OF lords has dared as
sumo in more than 200 years. Dare
they assume 1t? This momentous
question Is now to be answered by the
electors Of England, Scotland and Ire
land.
