forever hopeless as long as the house
of lords retains its unImpaired power
as a coordinate branch of the legisla-
turc.
The Liberal party, being in control of
the government by virtue of an over
wheIming majority of the popular vote,
has sought, during the past five years,
TO enact legislation freeing the schools
of the country from the entire dOmina-
ton of the established church, it has
framed legislation looking toward the
ameliOration of the evils of the prac-
ticaIIy unrestrained liquor traffic. and
it has passed through the commons
these and many other progressive
measures favored by the masses of the
people, But in every instance the
lords defeated the progressive legisla-
ton because it was initiated by the
Radical party, and because it inter
fered with the privileges of the liquor
trade and the church, two factors Of
the Tory Dreibund-
Heavy Tax ON Land.
Defeated at every turn by the i'm
pIacabIe peers, the Liberal government
attacked the inequitabIe privileges Of
the landlords, the third partner in the
triple alliance, by imposing a tax on
land. This was a much more serious
business because it was a revenue meas
ure and was incorporated in a finance
bill, over which the house of commons,
according to all precedent and auth

power.

to control taxation was the cause of

restoration this exclusive right of the
commons was affirmed repeatedly, and
it found its way even into the consti-
tuition of the United States in the pro-
vision that "alI bills for raising rev
enue shall originate in the house Of
repres entatives-
In 1911 the house of commons made
affirmation of its right TO hold the
purse strings in this language: THAT
in all aids given 10 the king by the
commons the rate of tax ought not to
be altered by the lords" Seven years
later the resolution of 1878 asserted:
That all aids and supplies to his
majesty in parliament are the sole
gifts of the commons; and all bills for
the granting Of such aids and supplies
ought to begin with the commons. and
that 1t is the undoubted and sole right
of the commons TO direct. limit, and
appoint in such bills the end. purposes.
cOnsidera tons, conditions. limitations
and qualifications of such grants,
which ought not to be changed or al

This exclusive right of the commons
to control the finances of the realm
was never questioned by direct act Of
the house of lords. although several
times opposition to financial legisla-
ton led to an agitation for the revival
of the power Of the lords. In reply to
such movements, the commons time

One of the best resolutions you can
make is to utilize the days Cor, rather
the moments comprising the days. in a
wise manner. 1t is wonderful what can
be accomplished if We do not fritter
away time-that most precious possess
sion which belongs TO all men equally
and upon which no trust or syndicate
can obtain corner"
No matter what regular occupation
may employ you daily, there are mo-
ments which can be used for recreation
or mental Improvement if you are in
health. 4 half hour given each day to
reading will astonish you at the end of
six months with the number of volumes
completed.
minutes after dinner will not be miss
ed by you If you make your resolution
to take them every day.
You will find you have just as much
time as you had before you began this
system. for you have been frittering
away more than those 10 minutes morn
ing and night, without being conscious
Of ii.
Then. if you are musical arrange to
give 20 minutes every day to sight read
ing. You can manage it if you are de-
! termined to do so.
I knew a busy, young self-suppOrt-
ing woman who had only a rudimen-
tary know ledge of music to make this
resolution. and Ii was amazing to see
the progress she made in one years
time. With only 20 minutes each day
devoted TO this one purpose. she sur
passed many professional musicians in
her ability to read difficult music at a
glance.
If your life is an indoor one. on ac-
count of your occupation, snatch five
minutes after rising and 10 before re-
firing for physical exercise Any book
on physical culture will illustrate few
movements for the development of the
chest and the reduction of superfluous
flesh and for the general benefit of the
whole system.
If on the contrary. your work Is OF
an exhausting nature, take a half hour
or even Is minutes some time during
the day and sit or lie down and relax
your whole system.
Do this as regularly as you eat your
dinner or comb your hair. Immense
benefit to your whole being, mental and
physical, will result.
