only the best cuts from the select
trees and the short cuts-the material
from which common lumber is made
would be allowed to rot on the ground.
This is serious matter In fact
it is matter that ought to invite the
serious consideration of the United
States Conservation Commission,
which seems to be laboring under the
impression that the repeal OF the Ca
madam duty will cause larger imports
from that country, thus preserving
the forests of the South, when we all
know that the reverse would be true.
AS explained by one of the speak
ers at Saturday nights meeting, the
repeal of the 81 duty on Canadian
lumber will mean a loss of at least
$5,OOO,OOO year to the lumber pro-
ducers of Mississippi. This would be
serious blow to Hattiesbufg and the
territory tributary to the city.
lie is, therefore, the duty of every
merchant, every farmer, every pro-
fessional man-every citizen of South
Mississippi-to do all within his DOW
er to prevent the repeal of the Cana
dian duty. Write your congressman
today. If you are personally acquaint-
ed with any other congressman-fro
Mississippi or elsewhere-write him
also.
This is a matter that vitality con-
Germs every man, woman and child in
the district and there is only a short
time to work.

London. Nov. This was an eventfuI
day in English history. according 70 all
representations II was the day when
the Lords. through the leader OF the oppo-
sition. the Marquis OF Lansdowne. an
nounced that they would throw down the
government and appeal to the country in
"a general election on the question Of the
budget
Lord Lansdownes formal notice a week
ago was to the effect that the House OF
Lords would reject the second reading
Of the budget because. as the notice put
1t. this house IS not justified in giving
its consent 20 this bill until il has been
submitted to the judgment OF the coun-
try" This was the amendment the
peers were called upon 10 vote ON to-
day. ON the first reading OF the bin, on
Novemhe~ l6. there was not a word said.
as The initial reading was a merely for
NAL matter.
Peers swarmed Co the House OF Lords
early this afternoon in a way that has
not been seen since they came 90 kin
Gladstone's home rule bill in 1855. Many
who came this afternoon had never be
fore taken their seats in the house. The
police and the officers were compelled 20
exercise the most careful scrutiny OF
these, to them unknown, peers lest any
who were not entitled 20 DO so should
gain admittaucc to the house.
Required Lords Consent.
The Earl OF Crewe. the Liberal leader
in the House of Lords moved the second
reading Of the budget Lord I.ausdowue.
in his speech acknowledged that his
amendment was a grave. perhaps an UNI
precedented. proposal But, his lordship
contended, the preamble Of the bill
showed that il required the consent or
the House Of Lords before 70 became a
law. That. he insisted. involved the right
OF rejection.
Continuing. Lord Lansdowne said tho
Commons had pushed their claims Tor
years. and by 1894 the finance BIN had
become A hodgepodge Of taxing legisia-
ton. The result was that the Lords had
now been driven back on the only REM
edy-rejection OF the budget Lord Speu-
Ger said in the House Of Lords In 1904,
said the marquis we have the right
20 throw out the finance bin II we will "
In l901-0S the Lords threw out the land

that they We're precluded from rejecting
precisely a similar set OF proposals The
same was said about the licensing bin I'm

were told they must not reject a more
cruShingly severe project
Horrible and Arbitrary.
Lorn Lansdowne reminded the house
that Cromwell, who had been invoked in
behalf Of the budget. spoke of the work
Of the House Of Commons as most hor-
rible and most arbitrary.
Lord Lansdowne went on 20 say that,

general for Scotland, had admitted that
there were more new methods Of raising

tial reduction Of tariff taxation oy en-

Upon this ground Senator Bailey argues
for an income tax. the proceeds from

ume of customs taxation, thus shifting
so much OF the burden from consumers
10 a presumably Weather class OF the
community. As there IS but a dubious
prospect OF the adoption Of the Bailey

Mating a reduction Of tariff burdens. the
practical question before Congress IS
whether Senator AIdrsch's simple pro-

Whether the Aldrich tariff bin viii be

The Washington herald., 1909-04-20
For ECONOMY and : Protective Tariff.

Senator Aldrich's discussion OF the reve-
nue. situation strikes a note that has be-
come somewhat unfamiliar OF late years
that Of economy in public expenditures
We have been recklessly spending a con-
stantiy expanding revenue. and at the
last session Of Congress reached a climax
by authorizing an expenditure in excess
OF the governments probable revenues
Congress Is now forced to decide whether
new forms OF taxation shall be imposed
10 increase governmental income. OF
whether expenditures shall be so reduced
as to come within the normal revenue
from customs and excise taxes. hIr.
Aldrich is convinced that the latter is the
wiser course. and that Il Is wholly pos
sible. Taking an optimistic view Of our
industrial and commercial future. he feels
certain that the customs revenues VIII
exceed those derived from the present
tariff law He is equally convinced that
the present scale Of Federal expenditure
is excessive and may be reducd without
detrineat TO the public service. He stands,
therefore, for the policy OF cutting ex-
penses te it income and Of avoiding the
imposition Of new forms Of taxation.
The Senator from Rhode Island <hus
occupies strong position, from which
he can be dislodged only by showing that
he has misjudged the revenue-producing
capabilities Of his tariff bin. OF that the
already enormous expenditures OF the
Federal government cannot be reduced.
We are willing to accept Mr.. Aldrich's
Judgment as that Of an authority on both
phases OF the fiscal problem Without
doubt governmental expenditure can be.
and ought 10 be. reduced. and It is pretty
certain that tariff bin framed along the
lines OF the Dingley Law. as the Aidrich
measure IS. would yield sufficient revenue
for a liberal scale OF expenditure. This
being the case. the only justification for
Ievying new taxes would be 3 substan-
