Morley on British Peers At
titude
THE BUDGET REJECTION
End Of Popular GOvernment-GivesP Pow
er Of Realm to an 0ligarchy--Secre-
tary for India Addresses Lords
for the Cabinet.

London, Nov. 30. Lord Morley Of
Blackburn, secretary Of state for India,
whose speeches since his elevation to
the upper house have dealt exclusively
with questions concerning India, depart
ed from this rule last night when, on
behalf Of the government, he re-opened
the budget debate. Again yesterday
there was large attendance Of peers
and peeresses and on the part Of the
general public, though the House was
not crowded as was the case last week.
The amendment which the House Of
Lords proposed TO pass, said Lord Nor
ley, though it contained but couple Of
lines, involved no fewer than five points,
each in turn constitute more radical
departure from constitutional usage and
practical convience.
In the first place the amendment alIo-
Gated to the House Of Lords the taxing
power.
Next, it assumed the power Of enfore-
ing dissolution by refusing supplies
Then there must be a new Parliament
whenever the sitting Parliament ahd the
misfortune to displease their lordships OF
the second chamber
Again, If these propositions are proved
they are changing representative supTem
acy into an oligarchic and non-repre-
sentative supremacy.
Finally, said Lord Morley, they are
throwing out Of gear the whole financial
machinery for the year. Taxes had been
collected Oh the authority Of the House
Of Commons By custom and not by law,
and all went on regularly until an ap-
preparation bill was passed when the
resolution became law. In the words
Of the late Lord Salisbury, said the
speaker, the two chambers could not
have voices IN the finances OF the gov
eminent because "the Lords belong too
much 70 one class and consequently in
respect to a large number Of questions
the Lords are too much Of one mind.
II has been said that the House Of Com
mons might repeal the Septennial act,
hut the repeal Of that act was the very
operation that the Lords were about to
perform
Appealing to history Lord Morley de-
clared Il contained no such provocative
OF the fercest conflicts as the provo
cative Of constitutional revision. The
note had been sounded, he added, for the
angriest and perhaps most pronounced
battle in recent times.
