British Constitution Will Un-
dergo Some Important
Changes

London, Feb. 1.-THE new parlia-
ment which was, opened in state yes
terday by George v. and Queen Mary
will be memorable also as the parlia-
ment to decide the status of the house
of lords and probably thereby make
the greatest change of a century in
the British constitution. Parliament
assembled last Tuesday, but the state
function was reserved for yesterday.
There are many important measures
on the program of the Liberal party
home rule for Ireland, and possibly
home rule all around" the abolition
of plural voting, dis-establishment of
the church in Wales, state insurance
against unemployment and illness on
a wholesale basis and other extern
sive financial schemes, and possibly
provision for the payment Of mem
bers. But the question Of the lords
will dominate and precede all other
matters.
Governments Policy.
The governments immediate poll
cy for dealing with the lords is en-
bodied in what is termed the parlia-
ment bill, more commonly known as
the veto bill" It practically wipes
out the power Of the upper chamber
to kill legislation from the commons
by providing that any bill shall be-
come law which the commons has
sent to the lords for three successive
sessions Tin period Of time not less
than two years) and which has been
three times rejected or not disposed
of. To insure the control Of the A.
nance. by the commons the bill pro-
vides that any money bill which the
upper chamber does not pass within
one month after 1t is sent up, shall,
with the royal assent, become law.
The last provision reduces the life OF
a parliament from seven years to
five.
These provisions OF the bill embody
only part Of the Liberals program
regarding tne lords. In the preamble
lis .he statement:
| And, whereas, It is intended IL
substitute for the, house Of lords al
! It ut present exists, a second cham.
! Der constituted on popular instead
Of HEREDITARY basis. but such substi.
tuition cannot be Immediately brought
into operation"
The Lords Plans.
For their part the lords have al
ready committed themselves to a DIFF
ferent plan of reform. They adopted
in the last parliament resolution,
framed by Lords IAnsdowne an,
Rosebery. The former declared tina
the lords were prepared to foreg,
their constitutional right to reject o
amend money bills. proposed the set
Element by joint session of member
from the two houses Of difference
lasting through two sessions Of
years interval and that difference
| on matters Of greet gravity be sub
mitted to popular referendum. Lor
Rosebery's resolutions declared tina
the possession Of a peerage shout
not of itself give the right to sea,
His suggestion was that half tn
chamber be- composed Of lords elccte
by their own members. as the Scot
tish members are chosen, the othe
half, also chosen by lords to consia
of eminent men.
