The Arvada enterprise., 1911-03-09
Telling of England's
Politics.
And Many Other interesting
Customs of the Old
Country.
Continued from last week.

The Conservatives were in
power some twenty years before
1906. The South African war
had taken place and had left a
stencil in the nostrils Of thousands
of Britishers. The election of
1906 was fought on the question
of support of the policy of the
government that had carried on
the war. The result was the re-
turn of the Liberal government
by humping majority. This
was a direct slap at the Conserv-
ative or Unionist government.
The next election was in Janu-
ary, 1910. This was caused by
the House of Lords daring to
refuse to pass the Budget Lloyd
Georges Budget as it is called
since he, as the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, must bring it into the
Common. A budget is an esti-
mate of the amount of money
necessary to run the government
for one year, and the methods by
which this money shall be raised.
1t must first pass the House of
Commons or lower house, as in
the United States all bills for
raising revenue must originate
in the House of Representatives.
If passed by the Commons, the
budget is then sent to the Lords
for them to pass. 1t is an an
cient custom in England that the
House of Lords pass the budget
without in any way tampering
with it. Here we arrive at the
breaking of the time honored GUS
tom by the impertinent Peers,
who themselves owe everything
to birth and custom. With con-
tempt they throw out the Liberal
budget because Lloyd George puts
a tax on unimproved land that
for centuries had gone untaxed.
England's nobility objected to
paying a tax on land they wished
to use for deer and fox hunting
and for raising peasants, etc.
Think of this, in this tiny
country one duke owns $50, 600
acres of land, thousands Of acres
of which, no doubt, are used as
deer, fox and pheasant covies.
When Lloyd George puts a tax on
all such land, the landlord cried
that it is unfair to tax land that
brings in no profit. Lloyd George
said, Then you can sell the land
to a man at a moderase price. "
Before this the great land owner
had either refused to sell, or had
demanded an exhorbitant price.
A Small Holdings Act was
passed making land accessible to
the poorer people. AS it is there
is a very small per cent Of Eng
lish people who own land for
themselves. Much la nd is owned
for the lifetime Of the purchaser
or on a ninety-nine year lease.
The land question is no doubt the
most serious problem before the
nation, the one that has been the
most neglected. We Americans
cannot understand how it is that
a family has gone on for centu,
ries and is not the owner of an
inch Of land. Conditions are sc
different here. To the poor mar
land is too expensive or it is moi
plrchasable.
The English Parliament is very
similar to our Congress. 1t is
made up Of two houses, the House
of Lords and the Commons. The
former holds a similar place t.

Discussed by aLake-
wood Citizen.
WHO Presents Some Very In
teresting Facts in a Very
Readable Manner.
To THE ENTERPRISE:

What most concerns the peo-
pie in eastern jefferson county
now and especially in and around
the towns Of Arvada and Lake
wood, is the high price of pas
senger fare into and out Of
Denver. A discriminating price
as compared with other outlying
points in and around Denver.
There is no reason for this in
either law or justice but is in di-
rect violation Of both. That cor
porations are grasping and op-
pressive is we'll known, but that
the Tramway of its own volition,
without a semblance of law,
should establish fare detri-
mental to its own interests as
we'll as to it's patrons, is plainly
evident that it is blended by av-
arice than guided by wisdom.
For the chartered rights Of
railway are granted in the inter-
est of the people and the country
through which its road bed is
laid. The gains to the road are
subsidery to this, by which it
cheapens transportation, facili-
tates prosperity and thus in
creases products of transporta-
ton.
Is the Tramway doing this in
charging an oppressive and ex-
tortionate rate Of fare?
Let us see what rights are
granted to a railway by law. In
section 6 of the Constitution of
the State Of Colorado relating to
Corporation, it says, All individ-
uals, associations and corpora
tions shall have equal rights to
have persons and property
transported over any railroad in
the state, and no undue or un-
reasonable discrimination shall be
made in charges or in facilities for
transportation of freight or pas
sengers within the state"
Any one can understand this,
so clear and plain it is. But
railroad companies, alert to their
own interests and to obstruct
and hinder the quick enforce
ment of this law, as it were, have
by law, created a railroad COM
mission to apparently carry out
the provisions of this section 6.
In reality it is a retarding useless
law, with numberless provisions
without any penal clause to en-
force their enactments in case
the petition Of the aggrieved
party is unheeded or disregarded.
Why such a law was enacted
is incomprehensible. Let US read
from section 5456, page 1888 Re-
vised Statutes for the cause Of
its creation and it's duties. 1t
says, That the commission
hereby created shall have auth
ority to enquire into the manage
ment of all common carries sub
iect to this act. :" And this is
all, for its other provisions legal
ICES the commission, authorizing
it to issue subpeonas, and other
legalized tribunals can do. Now
any good citizen can do all this.
But notice the commission has
not legal coersive power, for we
read in said act section 546l page
1884. Revised Statutes, IF any
common carrier fails or neglects
to obey an order of the commits
sioner" then the aggrieved party
shall apply to the district court
for an injunction or process man
datory or otherwise in restraint

our Senate, the latter is very like
our House of Representatives.
The Upper House is hereditary,
the Lower House is elected di-
rectly by the people. There are
between $50 and 600 Peers. The
number may vary as new Peers
are created, or a Peer dies with
out an heir. By the right of
holding a peerage, that is the
title of Duke, Earl, Viscount,
Baron and Lord, the person has
the privilege of sitting in the
House Of Lords, and this peerage
succeeds from father to son or
heir. Then there are a number
Of Bishops Of the Church Of Eng
land who by virtue of their office
and by right of age hold seats.
To this are added a number of
Judges Of Law Courts. The ma
jority Of the members of this
great body are disinterested in
English politics, except when it
effects their purses. They came
out in full force to vote against
the Budget of 1910. Peers that
had never been seen in their
seats were present on this oc-
casion. The poor dears believed
the Commons were tampering
with their sacred land. One Of
their own number and one so
great as Lord Roseberry re-
Gently said that Of the whole lot
of them only $50 were capable Of
holding a seat in any legislative
body. | am sure we Americans
wouldn't look with much favor
on such an institution, and yet
we can point with no particular
pride on our U. S. Senate. |
hope the time will soon come
when National Senators will be
elected directly by the people
and notleft to a Guggenheim or
a machine legislature. In Eng
land the time is not far off when
these Peers will be severely
dealt with. The English people,
after centuries Of Rip Van Wink
leism, are waking to the curse Of
the arrogant and selfish noble in
politics. What interest has he
in the people except to keep them
under foot?
The House of Commons, the
peoples house, is composed of
$40 members elected directly by
the people Of the five political
parties. They serve without pay.
This feature has both advant-
ages and disadvantages. There
is a strong movement on foot in
favor of payment Of members.
| think this is the better plan as
there are very estimable men
who cannot stand the great eX-
pense of election and the neces-
sary expenses while in office. |
know of one man who for some
time had been member for Cam
borne and an exceptionally popu-
lar man. At this last election
he did not stand because Of fl
nancial disability, as | heard him
say, 1.-TWO elections in one year
are too many for my pocket
book" However this obstacle is
often overcome by the constitu-
ents keeping their member and
as often happens with the Labor
members, funds are appropriated
by the trades unions. However
the large majority Of members
are men of very Independent
means and often enormously rich.
Here is a distinct difference be
tween English and American pol
itics; in America the large per
cent of members Of Congress are
lawyers. In England the percent
is small. | think about one-siXth
