Crisis Becomes Acute Follow
ing 0iSSenSion Over Admir-
atty Policy and Premier Calls
a Hurried Conference.
KITCHENER CALLS FOR
100000 MORE RECRUITS
SeCretary'S Call for More Vol
unteerS and ASquith'S Ad-
mission Show Peace Is Not
in Sight for England.

LONDON, May Is. The cabinet
crisis became acute late this after
noon. Vacation and inspection plans
for several ministers were suddenly
cancelled after they had been called
into conference by Premier Asquith.
Though rumOrs have been current for
some time that gradual changes would
be made, it was now apparent that the
storm eentering about Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, first lord of the admir-
atty, will result in radical and imme-
diate changes.
Mr.. Churchill was the first member
called by Premier Asquith He was
followed in rapid succession by Atty.
Gen. Sir John Simon, Lord High
Chancellor Viscount Haldane, Home
Sec'y McKenna and CbancellOr of the
EXcheQuer Lloyd George.
Lloyd George had planned to leave
this evening for an inspection tour Of
the manufacturing sections. but his
trip was called off.
First DiSSenSion Noted.
1t was the first time since the war
began that dissensiOn has broken out
in the British cabinet. Differences
have arisen between Winston spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
and Baron Fisher of KilversOne. first
sea lord Of the admiralty, over Great
Britain's naval policy 1t was report
ed today that Baron Fisher would re-
sign.
Underlying these differences is the
sentiment that the loss of the LUSi-
tania through inadequate naval pro-
lection had something to do WITH the
clash. However, the real causes are
unknown, but il has been known for
some time that the admiralty officials
were not in agreement.
Both King George and Premier As
quith have inteTvened in an effort 10
reconcile the admiralty heads, but
without success.
Reports have been current that the
squabble may lead 10 the entrance OF
unionists into the cabinet. thus bring
ing about a coalition ministry and that
Mr. Churchill may be given another

HEAVIER income Taxes
URGED As POOR AID.
Relief from Indirect Method,
Say Federal Lawyers in
Their Brief

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.-Heavier
taxation on big incomes as a relief
from the "disproportionate share" Of
Governmental support borne by the
poor under indirect taxation was de-
Tended by the Government In a brief
filed with the Supreme Court yester-
day in the pending income tax cases
The brief bears the names of At
torney General Gregory. Solicitor
General Davis and Assistant Attor-
ney General William Wallace. Jr.,
and represents months of study by
the Governments legal talent of all
the various attacks on the income tax.
the success Of which would reduce
the Governments income sS2.O00.OOO
year.
THE ordinary system Of indirect
taxation upon consumption places
upon the poor person a disproportion-
ate share of the burden of Govern
ment support" says the brief IN re-
/ ly to a charge of discrimination In
/ the additional or surtax on incomes
Of over $4,000
Income taxation tends to shift the
burden upward. II Is undeniable that
! the greater the income the greater
the ease with which the payment OF
taxes is met Even allowing ror the
normal inevitable increase in the
scale Of living he who has the larger
] La aLas4IIaa
the burden Of increasing, as the
amount Of income increases, moi
merely the total tax but also the rate
Of taxation At least Congress has
in its discretion determined that the
heavier burden can be carried more
easily by the larger income and L
is not for the courts TO say that sucl
classification is outrageous"
Exemption of persons from taxation
on the first 5000 income and taxation
OF corporations on all income is iustiheI
on the ground that corporations have M
personal or family expense while loss o
] means to support a family by an indi
vidual results in more public charges
Collection Of the additional tax
from individuals and not from corpor-
ations is defended as avoiding double
taxation. The argument that there Is
an unlawful discrimination in the ta2
upon husband and wife living TO-
gether in that they are entitled onl,
TO one exemption Of $4,000 is answer
ed with the point that Congress wal
justified in making a distinction be
tween the separate maintenance o
two persons on the one hand and thei
combined maintenance at lesser COS
. on the other.

ONE TERM FOR THE
PRESIDENCY, TAFTSAYS
Change Would Give the Ex-
ecutive Greater Independ-
ence of Congress
FAVORS NEW YORK'S
NEW CONSTITUTION

NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-Ex- President
Taft favored single term OF six .or
seven years for the President, and eX-
ecutive rather than legislative initia-
ton OF the annual budget last night IN
the Horace Mann Auditorium, Columbia
University, in the first of six lectures
on "Ihe Presidency, Its Duties, Powers
and Limitations" provided for the uni
versity by the George Blumcnthal foun-
dation The hall viii seat 800 persons
and 1900 applied for admission. Presi-
dent Butler presided
Speaking Of the preparation Of the
budget by the executive department
of the Government, Mr.. Taft com
mended the work of the New York
State Constitutional Convention in
dealing with this problem and said
the amendment proposed marks the
most important step Of progress that
has been taken in constitutional law
in this country.
Sees Cure for Extravaganza.
IF New York succeeds in adopting
this system" he explained. by which
the Governor submits estimates and
budget of expenditures and proposed
revenues. and the Legislature Of the
State of New York is forbidden to in
crease the estimates by him submitted,
| the alarming expenditure and eXtrava-
gance OF government expenses Will be
halted. and this without in any degree
reducing proper legislative control Of
! the general scope and extent of gov
ornamental action and expenditure.
/ Success Of this system in New York
will. I doubt not. lead 10 similar re-
form in the government at Washing
ton"
Mr. Taft amplihed the above opin-
ion by saying the people as a whole
we're largely to blame for present
conditions. owing to the eagerness OF
/ districts to get as much money az
possible for themselves out Of the
public treasury.
FaYOrs One Long Term.
Speaking of the Presidential term
he said
81 am strongly inclined to the view
that the term Of the President should
be six or seven years and that he
should be ineligible thereafter. Such
a change would give TO the executive
greater courage and independence in
the discharge of his duties The alb.
