How the Very Existence Of To liosse
Of Lords Is JeopardIzed BY
the Fioht on tho Brit.
Ish Budget.
By JAr1Es A. EDcERroN.

by 0AIVL9 ~ kOOkN AOANs
US the British house Of lords about
to be abolished or radically shorn
Of its power? 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 aosebery himself is OPP
posed to the budget. He would like
to see it defeated. but questions either
the right or the policy Of the lords to
bring about that defeat. He regards
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 II 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 Lansdowne's mo-
ton to reject the budget pending an
appeal to the nation it Is contended
that the peers are guilty of twofold
usurpation Of power-one against the
commons and the other against the
king. Since 1888 the exclusive control
of financial matters has been In the
house Of commons. For the lords now
to assume the right to reject flnan-
cial measure is the first act of usurpa-
ton. Lord Lansdowne's motion re.
quires dissolution of parliament
The right to dissolve parliament, how.
ever, belongs to the crown. This Ia
the second act of usurpation.
The Day Of Settlement.
The rejection of the budget Is moi
the first offense of the lords. Several
