Budget Presented to. Commons
with This Feature the Novelty.

London. MAY 16-Chancellor Iloyd George
presented the Budget in the House o. Com
mons to-day. About the only novelty Il con-
tains is proposal to pay members Of the
House OF Commons a salary OF 5000 a
year. The Chancellor declined TO give
members travelling allowances or pensions
and excluded from the salary benefit all
ministers already drawing salaries.
The Chancelor's realized surplus. includ-
ing payments delayed In leoa-'lO by the ac-
ton OF the Lords in throwing out the
Budget Of that year. totalled SOS. 0S5. 600. OF
which he proposes to donate N500,Oo to
the support of sanatoriums for consump-
tives.
His estimated expenditure for the cur
rent year is 1916, 10000. which is Ss, 80. 900
more than last year The estimated revenue
for the current year is 1905. $4,000. There

The navy. civil services and old age pen
sions account for most of the increased ox-
penditure Of s3s 10000. The payment Of
absorb a further sum Of 81. 250,O 900, while the
coronation will add sl500,o00.
The Chancellor said the British fiscal sys-
TEN had passed through an exceptional
strain with added lustre. During his three
years tenure of office. he declared, he had
paid off sIS0oO0,O o0 OF the national debt
while II has been reduced s35OOO0,O 900 since
the Liberals had assumed power. He said
the prospects Of a continuance of good
trade were excellent.
OF the estimated revenue Of s9oS $50. Oo0
the big items are the customs and excise
duties, which are depended on TO bring In
sSiSOco,0oo death duties Of sl25. 100 900, income
tax and supertax OF 1921 10000, and the
postoffice revenue OF $4,000.
The Chancellor. as was anticipated, an
nounced the revision of the cocoa import
duties, from which the protective OBJECT is
removed. This involves the small loss of

The Opposition criticism on the Budget
centred in the provision for the payment
OF members Of the House of Commons, 10
which Austen Chamberlain declared he was
unalterably opposed, as it would deprive
the members Of the British House of the
unique distinction Of serving without pay.
He predicted that It would flood the House
with money grabbing politicians seeking
an easy livelihood.

an opportunity would be afforded later to

total wreck
The finish Of the airshlp was less spec
tacular than that OF its predecessors, but
more complete. The crew and passengers,
however, escaped injury.
The accident occurred as the Deutschland
was being released for a passenger trip.
Eight passengers. four men and four wonn-
on, had seated themselves in the cabin the
crew were at their posts and two hundred
men on the ground chung IN the guide ropes
as the powerful craft emerged from her
berth.
Just as the airship cleared the shed a vio-
lent gust Of wind drove her back against
the entrance. At the impact several of the
halloonettes burst. and the released gas de
stroyed her equilibrium. The army Of men
AT the guide ropes cIung on desperately
but were powerless against the wind. and
another gust lifted the airship bodily and
dropped her upon the roof Of the shed. her
back broken and her hull left dangling
over one edge.
In this position the crew and passengers
rudelv shaken but not seriously injured
were left helpless until a fire brigade res
cued them.
To-day was the sixth serious accident
which has befallen the Zeppelin dirgibles
Zeppelin I was destroyed on August 8,
1913. a storm striking the balloon. which
was already disabled. and causing an ex-
plosion Count Zeppein's entire fortune

curtains Of Japan and India, obscure in the

away in the Oriental awakening. Religions,
he said. were one. just as knowledge was
one, and we could no longer have the
