The Declaration of Rights was a forerun- ner of the Declaration of Independence. There is nothing more essentially British than the dictun that there shall be no taxation without representation. Of the early American states men only Franklin and Otis wished to have representation in the British parliament. The others considered that their own assemblies should be the legislative bodies entirely and that if any taxes were to be imposed they should be collected only with the consent of the colonial assemblies
 The question of taxation, however, did not enter into any controversies, for it was not until the middle of the eighteenth century that Great Britain, exhausted by many wars and seeking to replenish the national treasury, sought extraordinary means for raising reye- and her ministers proposed that the col onies, which had been growing in wealth and importance. should be made to contribute to the impoverished exchequer. The French and Indian war had shown the power of the col onies and their force and had given a very definite idea of their growing wealth and inn Uortance
 Having reached the decision to tax the col onies, the ministry did not spend any time In preliminaries. It was decided that parliament had the right to levy the taxes and the fact that the colonies had no representation in that body was not taken into account. Such mat ter would ordinarily have been considered subject for delicate negotiation, but, the deci- sion to tax having once been made, no time was lost in 1evying it.
 England had in effect been constitutional monarchy since the signing of the Magma Charta in 1915 and in taxing the colonies not represented in the common council of the kingdom she had violated one of the oldest of the rights which every Briton claims.
 Such the situation in 1764, when the struggle began which 12 years later brought forth the Declaration of Independence, and the next year brought into being the first congress of the American colonies, which decided that the assembly had the power to fix taxes The stamp act was the first heavy impost levied

the reign of George H., when the na- creased by the American war that the people demanded reform, espe- cially in the abuses of the civil list and in the practise of conferring life pensions on royal favorites. In 17S2 parliament passed a civil list act abol- ishing many useless offices, reducing the pension list and providing for closer supervision of the royal ex- penditure
 At the beginning of Queen Victo- ria's reign the annual grants for the crown were fixed and sums voted as follows: Privy purse, s3oO,0OO; sala- ries of household, $65G,30o expenses of household, s862,500; royal bounty, $G6,000; contingent, $40,000; total, s1,925,000. In addition the queen might grant life pensions not to ex- ceed $6,000 a year in any case, to persons whom she might consider worthy, provided that all pensions granted should be reported to par liament by the twenty-ninth of .July each year.
 On the accession of King Edward VII. 0900 it became necessary to readjust the civil list and a commit. tee was appointed to investigate and report on the subject The commit tee reported bill which was passed increasing the annual appropriation for the civil list from S1,925.0 .000 to $2,350,000, distributed as follows. Their majesties' privy purse, s55o,- GOO; second-class salaries of royal household. $629,000; third class ex. penses of royal household, S965 OOO repair and decoration of royal nal. aces, S100,000; royal bounty and aims $66,o0O; contingent. s40O0O. In addi, ton parliament granted an annual all lowance of s100,000 to the prince of Wales, $50,000 to his wife and $40 oO0 each to the kings three daughters and other special grants. By the death of King Edward Queen AIexan. dra comes into life pension of s35O 900 a year and all of the surviving children of Queen Victoria continue to draw life pensions.
 It is not likely there will he anv material reduction in the civil list granted George V. from that of Kino Edward, which totaled s235O.o 900 a year. Compared with this the prest. dents salary of $75,oo0 a year with $25,00O for travelling expenses doas not seem excessive.

TIE KINGS SALARY
George V. Gets S2.351,000 for
 Annual Expenses.
In Addition His Queen, the Princes and Princesses of Royal Family Are Liberaly Supplied With
 Pin Money.

London.-The king of England and the president of the United States are alike in one respect-they are both dependent on their respective peoples for their salary and allowances, the purse strings being held by parlia- ment in one case and by congress iE the other The methods of doing things differ in the two countries, but they amount to the same in the end, and the people foot the bills. But kings cost much more than presl- dents. Some people thought it a "big raise" when the presidents sal ary was increased from S50,000 to $75,000 a year, with $25,000 a year for travelling expenses, but the Brit ish king and royal family cost good many times as much.
 At the beginning of every reign an annual sum is settled on the king by parliament and in addition allow ances are made for each member Of his family and for all the expenses pertaining to the royal household and to maintaining the honor and dignity of the crown. Under the British sys- tenn these expenditures constitute "the civil list and the account is kept separate from the ordinary ex- penses of the government Formerly certain sources of revenue. called hereditary revenues" were settled on the crown, out of which not only the royal expenditures proper, but the expenses of the civil service, ev- erything except the army and navy were to be paid. Under this system the king could use the revenues as he liked and if he saved anything it went to swell his private purse while if he ran in debt or created a deficit parliament paid it. The accu- mulated debt at the end of a reign sometimes amounted to many millions of dollars.
 The present system of making what might be called specific appro- priations for the crown dates from

 The news of the passage of this act reused the eolonsts to fury. gallows was erected in what is now City Hall park, New York; and the British governor hanged in effigy, and the house of Major Jones. in command Of the British regiment, was sacked. Then came the rising of the Sons of Liberty" and the raising of the liberty poles. Boston and Philadelphia were vortices of the storm. So emphatic was the protest that much of the act was repealed and duties established on tea which ac- counted for the sudden rain of tea in Boston harbor Then came the burning words of Pat rick Henry Give liberty or give me death." before the Virginia in 1773. The year later brought the promulgaton of the Dec laration of Rights and Privileges" in which 1t was declared that every man had the right to- life, liberty and property and that most ancient right granted at Runnymede trial by his "peers of the vicinage'
 Throughout all this time of storm and strain the protests were made as British sub- jects, and that congress which met in Carpen- ter's hall in 1774 was still loyal to the crown. It petitoned the king, remonstrated with par liament and appealed to their brethren in Eng land. Then came Lexington and Concord. The congress of 1775 made provisions for an army, with Washington as commander, and still pe- titioned. It's petition refused and mer cenares were hired from petty German princes to-quoting the words of Lossing- "butcher British subjects for asserting the rights of British subjects"
 Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered the independence resolution in June, 1776 and committee was appointed to draft the declara- tion, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Ad- ans, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston. Jefferson wrote the docu- ment and alterations were made principally at the suggestion of Franklin and Adams. The paper was submitted to congress on June 28. It was laid on the table until July l. when nine colonies voted in favor of it.
 The independence resolution was actually adopted July 2 and promulgated to the world on July 4, when John Hancock of Massa- chusetts affixed to 1t his bold signature.
 The other members of the congress did not sign it until August 2, and the impressive scene connected with the signing was not wit messed until nearly month later, although it is populary associated with the Fourth of July
 Centuries of the progress of the rights of man bear witness in the Declaration. That all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unaienable rights, that among these life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness,' was not new, for it was recognized at Sinai.

 and plenty the Fourth of July is given to .'sa= lutes of cannon and the ringing of bells and to the feH de joe.' with variations, as John Adams predicted that it would be. yet the observance of the Fourth as an occasion for recalling memories past and giving thanks for the deeds of the patriot forefathers is sporadic rather than general in the United States. The Declaration of Independence is not read from the rostrum, it once was in every commit nifty and the orators to the links have gone.
 So much has been taken here as a matter of course that it seems hard to realize that this anniversary is celebrated in the very Eng land from which liberty was wrested and that obserVances of it are officially ordered in many lands beyond the seas. The Fourth of July has become international in scope for it has changed the governments of nations whose capitals are far from Independence hall. So widespread have it's effects become as studied in the light of the present day that in order to get the true value of all that the declaration signifies to the world in 1910 it is necessary to go back to the very beginning of American liberty.
 Had not the ideas of government held by the coonists been essentially British there would probably never have been any Declara- ton of Independence It is as natural for the Briton to demand his rights as it is for him to live. The War of the Revolution was largely due to the fact that the two thousand miles of water between London and the colonies caused parliament to lose sight of the ties of eonsan- guinity and of
 Although the original thirteen colonies were so essentially English in thought and feeling they had never actually been estab- lshed by England national enterprise. The only one which had ever received any official aid whatever was Georgia, and that was not sufficient to carry any such feeling of ic al tba ton of intimate colonial relations. The right to colonize the North American continent had been granted by charters from a British king. According to the feudal system, which was
