business is popularity called, were made
to bear the main burden of taxation. AL
the necessities of life, such as flour, tea,
sugar, etc, remained untaxed, but the
duties on beer and whisky were unusu-
ally heavy. An income tax of Is cents
was imposed on every s. for incomes of
$4,000, which is equal to $3.50 tax on
every one receiving $1,000 a year. 1t pro-
vided for a super tax of "a per cent
on all incomes over $4,000, and an in
heritance tax. running from 1 per cent
on s25,O00 estates to Is per cent on $500
600 estates. An estate like Mr.. Harri-
mans, which is estimated at Sl49,WOO00,
under such law would pay 81, 100000 to
the state.
1t provided for a revaluation of land,
which would vastly increase the rate Of
taxation, and many of its opponents
claimed that land owners would be taxed
two and three times for the same pieces
OF property.
A tax on automobiles. ranging from SO
for horsepower to 500 for 90 horsepower
cars, was also included.
The bill was printed on May % and on
June Z underwent a second reading. On
June p it reached the committee, and it
was at this stage that the bitterest fight
was Waged. This resulted in several
changes in the measure, but the main pOr-
tiOns were left untouched.
Balfour Led Fight.
On October 10 it was reported back to
the house of commons, and then fol-
lowed the debate. Mr.. BalfOuT led the
fight against the bill and, despite his pre-
dictiOns that the passage of the measure
would cause a social upheaval and stifle
all trade, that body passed the third
reading November by vote of 3S to
49,
On November % the second reading Of
the bill was moved in the house Of lords.
Lord LansdOWne, the leader of the OppO-
sitiOn, then offered his amendment which
provided for a referendum vote, and this
amendment was adopted by a large ma
jOTity on November 30. Killing the budget
by making any effective action upon IT
I'm this parliament impossible.
The chief argument used by the peers
IN opposition was that the ministry had
offered, not simply a finance bill, but a
bill embOdying many measures that the
house of lords had previously rejected
that, in short, the peers could not pass
the measure without practically feslghlnS
all legislative functions
on the other hand advocates of the
budget, and the great British public gen
orally, insist that the real reason for its
rejection by the peers is the fact that its
provisions place the burden of taxation
chiefly upon the very wealthy.
Nine men i'm ten outside of parliament
regard Lloyd-George as the greatest and
most far-seeing statesman in England,
and denounce the action of the house Of
lords as an arrogant defiance of the PEG
pie by purse-proud and headstrOng arts
tocracy.
In all quarters the present crisis is re-
garded as the gravest that the nation
has faced H. a century, and one that is
likely to result in a radical change IN
the British constitution.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
NAMES COMMITTEES
Campaign to Increase Men,
berShip to One Thousand
on in Earnest.
BUILDING NEARLY READY
CONTRACTOR REPORTS ON PRO-
GREss TO SECRETARY.

Six subcommittee, all units of the gen
eral membership committee Of the Com
mercial club, each consisting of a chair
man and three members, will begin the
active campaign today of bringing the to-
tai membership Of the club up to the
thousand mark by January 1.
To accomplish the present ambition of
the club only $50 new business or profess
siOnal men are needed, and these will be
found out Of a total list of 800 Of the
'ought-to-be" That the thousand mark
will be reached by the first of the year
was the pledge Of the membership com
mlttee at its special meeting held yester-
day noon
The club wants 1000 members. With
the applications before the board Of gov
errors, there is shy practically an even
100. To get these, however, there is to be
neither the prod nor the persuasive rod.
Those who ought to belong to Salt Lake S
leading commercial body are simply going
own iaXity, Or perhaps, careless over
sight
There is. however. the chance that a
good many out of the 500 "ought-to- be 81
will find the door closed to the knocking
for admission after the first of the year.
The sentiment of the club has developed
Two ldeaS-One that the membership of
the club should be limited to 1000, with q
waiting list, and the other that when the
loo mark is reached the new member
snip should be made more difficult by in
creasirg the admission fee to 500. Both
of these ideas have strong support, with
the leaning towards the limitation Of the
membership to 1000. 1t is the strong SEN
timent that even with the new club build
ing a membership of loo would be ample
to support the institution, and without
any overcrOwding. If the roll was set at
1,0O0 there would of course, be a waiting
list, and vacancies in the membership,
either by death or removal, would be
filled from that list
When the thousand mark is reached.
the question of further membership will
be presented to the board of governors
under the two propositions of limitation
or the increase of the initiatory fee.

To Suffer is Folly
When Relief Is at Hand.

The folly Of continued suffering
might be made the subject of a talk
right here that would be full of in
terest and that would present facts
and figures that would make some
sufferers ashamed of their own neg
igence. More than half the suffer
ing in the world today is unneces-
sary. Many dozens of the so-called
incurable cases of female trouble,
kidney, stomach and liver trouble,
nerve disorders, etc, right here in
Salt Lake could easily be cured if
Mrs. Pickard were given an opportu-
nifty of treating the sufferers with
ChirOpractic treatment.
Mrs. Pickard has been established
