Former Premier AssaiIs Government
for It's Attitude.
London. March 4.-Speaking st a ban
quet at the Merchant Tailors' Hall to-
night. former Prime Minister Balfour
dealt significantly with the question OF
the reform of the House OF Lords.
He began with telling attack on the
government for burSing the budget at
the dictates OF the Nationalist after
boasting that the country had given it
majority of l24 in its favor.
The fact was, Mr.. Balfour said, the
government realized that the country had
actually pronounced against It. It was
impossible 80 imagine a greater triumph
for the House of Lords. which thought
the governments proposals were so novel
and far reaching that they ought 20 be
submitted to the judgment Of the coun-
try He laid the entire blame for the
present financial chaos on the govern
ment. which was wiIlfuIly refusing to
avail itself OF the offices Of the oppose
ton to help Iegalize measures for the col
lection Of taxes.

All day long there streamed through
the disbursIng office q crowd OF depen-
dents. They were there TO get the provi-

Distress was evident.
The advanced cost OF living placing a

the expenditures OF the pensioners al

Of life, the defaulung OF the government
in its payments TO the pensioners seemed

Find Income Diminishing.
Two years ago the attention Of Congress
was invited to the fact that n law au-
thorizing the payment OF pensions no pro-
vision was being made for the ever in
creasing demands upon the fund, and
that IN reality, by reason Of the gradual
adoption OF the parole system and other
neniencies that curtailed the revenues
OF the Police Court, the income was
diminishing. The funds from which the
pensions are paid are derived under ex-
isting law from but three sources: The
deduction of 81 month from the pay or
every policeman or fireman in the service,
the proceeds from the sale of dog licenses.
and the fines that are collected in the
Police Court. The disbursements OF the
fund last year amounted to S79,7SI.2l, or

Republican leaders in the Senate felt
last night that they have the situation

well in hand, and that the bill will be
passed to-day.
As OF old, the Democrats will pun the
Republican chestnuts from the fire. On
Thursday the twenty-five Democrats In
the Senate voted solldly with the Re-
publican insurgents and several other Re-
publicans who heretofore have stood by
the organization, and the combination ap-
parently had control Of the situation as

Threat of La Toilette.
The Republican leaders were ready TO
put the amendments and the bill itself
TO a vote late yesterday afternoon. but
Senator La Toilette served notice on
them that if they attempted to do this
he would speak all night.
What Senator La Follette's purpose
was in insisting on a postponement OF
the vote can only be surmised. 1t is
supposed that the insurgents. knowing
that the Republican organization has the
