fRy cable 10 The Tribune ]

London. April David Lloyd George,
Chancellor of the EXchequcr, introduced
In the House Of Commons to-day his
budget for 19l2-'l3. His surplus was
So. ~ 900, being the largest on record.
The Chancellor has evidently lost heart
for politics. with so enormous sur
plus an ingenious coup was looked for IN
his budget speech. and it would have
helped to restore the fortunes and ambi-
tions Of the leader who has ceased TO
exercise dictatorship within the Cabine',
but nothing but "A cautious waiting pol
icy was announced.
Instead Of being applied at once to IN F.,
reduction of taxation or the national
debt (and the latter course would have
had the highly desirable result or
STRENGTHENING consos), the surplus was
held as reserve until the end OF the
year, until It could be known how many
extra ships Germany would compel the
Admiralty to lay down and how much
money would be needed for the insur-
ance system and for telephone purchase.
~
and extraordinary evidences of national
prosperity, despite the coal strike, in
spired the Chancellor's eloquence, but
apparently there was no prospect OF re-
lief for taxpayers. Expenditures were
rising a: rapidly as receipts, and the
burdens Of a costly bureaucracy 10"
CARRYING the insurance act and other
social reforms into effect were steadily
Increasing. So the long looked forward
TO budget speech ended, with the surplus
reserved for emergencies and with de-
liberate underestimates Of revenues for
the new fiscal year.
Dsapponts His Admirers.
Mr.. LLOYD George spoke with II jaunty
air. but disappointed his admirers with
so humdrum budget. The only sur
prise was his own poverty of invention
al moment when his influence and
authority on the Radical side are wideIy
believed to be fatally impaired.
The coal strike, he Informed the House,
had caused loss of revenue OF more
than S2.OOO,O0O.
His scheme of taxation, he said, had
met the increased expenditure or the
nation and provided a surplus without
taxing the necessaries OF life or Inter
fering with trade. Under his scheme
trade had improved and unemployment
had consistently diminished. Just be-
fore the outbreak Of the coal strike un-
employment had reached the lowest point
ever touched In the United Kingdom.
From the good trade outlook the Chan
cellor believed it was safe to estimate an
expansion OF most of the revenue pro-
ducing taxes The revenue for the COM
ing year he estimated at 935945,OOO, !,
leaving a surplus Of 81, 10000.
Referring to the increase Of S2S,OOO,OOO
in the expenditure of the financial year
1912-'13. the Chancellor said he had been
disappointed In his anticipation Of big
reduction in naval expenditure. He was
afraid the prospect of decrease In that
direction was not bright. He, however,
took "A more roseate view of trade pros

INVESTIGATE,

The train wreck Of Frid;-y morning,
in which the Great Northern fast mail
was wrecked near C%asselton and which
resulted in the death of the engineer
calls for a searching Investigation.
The reports received Immediately after
the accident to the effect that the
wreck was due to the failure Of the
freight brakeman to flag tho oncom-
ing train properly may or may not be
correct. 1t would be highly improper
in the absence Of all available infor-
nation to Jump at conclusions and
say that this or that person was to
blame. But somebody was to blame.
Whether It was the dead engineer who
drove wrecklessly and took it for
granted that because the track at that
point was usually clear II must be
clear on this occasion. or whether Il
was tho brakeman or somebody else
II is clear that there was a failure on
the part OF some person properly to
do his duty.
As a result Of that failure one man
is dead. another is quite seriously In.
jured. ana several escaped as by a
miracle. A thorough and searching
Investigation that will ascertain the
facts and place the responsibility
whore It belongs is needed, and it is
that this will be undertaken.

THAT LETTER HOME,

How about that letter home? For q
long time. perhaps, you have intend.
ed to write 1t. hut You have been
busy with n thing and another. and
1t has not seemed convenient to d,
down and start ut the letter. All
times arc good, but this is the very
best time VI tho year to write Il.
Somewhere back east" there may
be an old father who would like to
get that letter. Tho years are telling
on him. His hair Is whitening, and
his step ia not as elastic as 1t was,
He stoops more than he did. and often
no must pause to catch his breath.
He doesn't write often. because writ
ing Is q task for him. but he likes to
heac from the boys and girls who HAYS
LETT the nest these many years. There
may be q mother who has given free
" Of her strength to her children.
The years hava left their marx on her,
as well. The lines IN her face have
deepened. and tho eyes that once wsre
clear and hrish: are dimmed with age.
She, too. thinks often Of her absent
ones. and often when she Is alone the
thought Of them moistens her eyes.
She brushes the tears away. and hides
her emotion behind a smile. She feels
sire that her young folks are doing
we'll, but she would like to hear from
them.
Soon, so soon, tho old folks will be
gone. Their days are nearly number
cd. Right we'll have they done their
part. In whatever station their lot
has been cast. they have borne much
and labored we'll for their children.
Wakeful nights have been theirs that
the little ones might sleep. Pain and
privation and anxiety have been cheer
fully borne that the children might
fare we'll. With pride. and with Joy.
and with care, and sometimes with
sorrow they have marked the unfold
ing Of the young lives to which they
have given being. And now that the
family Is scattered their still! remains

made a little stronger. perhaps, by the
gradual withdrawal OF othe: interests
in lie. The occasional letters telling
Of the doings Of children and grand
children have been read and read
again. Sometimes the expected letter
has not come. If 1t hasn't been writ
ten now is a good time to write 1t.
Perhaps by another Christmas there
will be 10 one to receive IL. Who
