happy lot of Mr.. Lloyd-George, who,
it is estimated. will have budget
surplus of a quarter of a million, forms
a striking contrast to that of Austen
Chamberlain, who, in 1904, had to pro-
vide for a deficit of E6.O00,0 900 in the
national balance sheet. Some startling
suggestions were made to the member
for East Worcestershire on that oc-
casion by those who considered them
selves fully capable of teaching the
chancellor of the exchequer his busi-
ness.
Amongst other things on which it
was said duties should be imposed
were such necessities as boots, baths,
lamps, hats. umbrellas, perambulators
and theatre tickets. Extraordinary

been carried out in the past in order to
raise the country's revenue.

shillings had to be paid by the parents
of every little stranger" born in Eng
land, except by people in receipt of
aims. This tax fell very heavy on the
masses. to whom fiorin meant a great
deal more than it does today. The no.
bility and the gentry, too. found the
tax to be very irksome. for 1T increased

No small amount of fun has been
made of the bill introduced by a mem
Der of the New Jersey state legislature

tax on men with boards. But 1t is by
no means an original proposal. Queen
Elizabeth put a tax of three farthings
