is an follows:

TOM" That seems to be the point
on which the coming British cleo
ton will turn. In letter to the
London Times Lord Lindley, who
for thirty-four years has held high
judicial office, has been Lord Justice
OF Appeal = Master of the Rolls and
Lord Of Appeal in Ordinary. states
the case from the point of Wow ~ a
constitutional lawyer.
Promising that the finance bill In
OF very unusual kind. since it not
only imposes heavy taxes but pro-
vides INV and expensive machinery
for raising them, anl has aroused
great opposition throughout the
country, Lord Lindley says that the
rejection by the Lords was de-

innovations of social policy that
made IT unlike any finance bill pre-
viously submitted to the Lords. II
there is no precedent for throwing

serious objection. The case being
without precedent. Lord Lindley
holds that it must be decided on
principle.
These principles he proceeds TO
lay down. He clears the way by
cnunciating certain propositions
which are now beyond dispute:
II. No tax can be imposed eX-
cept by act of Parliament. O.. by
an act assented TO by the Crown and
both Houses of parliament
"2. That II is for the House Of

to be raised. This Is shortly ex-
pressed by saying that it is for tho
House of Commons to prepare the
budget.
"3. The budget may be COM
prised In several bills or in one bill.
"a. The House OF Lords have
nothing to do with the preparation
of the budget, and have no right to
amend budget bill, whether 1t
provides for one tax or many.
80. That every budget bill ro-
quires in order to become law the
assent Of the Crown and Of the
House of Lords.
&c. That IL this assent la refused
by either the Crown or by the House
OF Lords a budget bill cannot he

with regard to the Lords power
over finance bills. Lord Lindley de-
clares the law to be as follows:
They have nothing to do with
the preparation of finance bill, nor
can they amend It. But they can
refuse their assent TO It, and they
have to consider whether they will
do so or not. Their assent is re-
quired to make the bill effective and
their power to reject the bill Is un-
dcniable. This power is not simply
tho result of the inability of courts
OF law to control the House. but II
is the necessary result OF the Peti-
ton OF Right and Bill of Rights,
which not only protect the nation
from the tyranny OF the Crown. but
also of either House of Parliament.
