z PARLIAMENTS
OFFERED IRELAND
Home Rule Plan Also Creates
Central Legislature.
PROHIBITS CREED BAN

Almost Unlimited Powers Are Provid-
ed For a United Parliament, But
Those For Two Parliaments Are
Considerably curtaiIed.
London; Feb. 2S.-The government
made public the text of its Irish home
rule bill introduced in the house Of
commons Wednesday, and passed
through its first reading by title.
The measure follows closely the out
line given to the house by the premier,
David Lloyd George, in December last
By its provisions two parliaments
would be set up, one for the north of
Ireland and the other for the south,
the northern parliament to consist Of
fifty-two members and the southern of
12S.
The representation in the imperial
parliament would be twelve for north
Ireland and thirty for south Ireland,
necessita:ing the reapportionment Of
ireland, which is provided for.
The northern area would be COM
posed of the counties of Antrim, Ar
magh, Down, Fermanagh, London
derry and Tyrone and the boroughs of
Belfast and Londonderry.
A council for Ireland" composed of
forty members, half of whom would be
selected by each Of the parliaments, is
provided for. The legislative powers
! of the council would be only those
granted it by the two legislatures, but
the trainers Of the bill hope it will
form nucleus around which would
be built one parliament for the whole
Of Ireland.
Almost unlimited executive, legisla-
tive and judicial powers are provided
TOR such united parliament, but the
powers to be conferred on the separate
parliaments would be considerably cur
tailed. Responsibility for organizing
the united parliament and the power
to create 1t is left entirely with the
two legislatures. The bill provides
the united parliament, If formed,
would control the customs and excise.
At the outset, according to the bill
the parliaments would have full con-
troll of education, local government
and the land policy, agriculture, roads
and bridges, transportation, old age
pensions, insurance, municipal affairs,
housing, hospitals and licenses. All
the judicial offices would be controlled
by the parliaments, each body CONTROL
ling the offices in its own district, but
there would be a court of appeal for
the whole of Ireland, presided over by
the lord chancellor
One provision specifically prohibits
either body from establishing any par.
.icular religious creed or penalizing
any one for belonging to or not be-
longing to any religious denomination

Thoughts Of Today
World Wide W:ckedness.

Only the Single Tax will solve the
problem of housing shortage in the
country. For this problem is not con-
fined to New York City. 1t is world
wide. The private ownership of land
Is general all over the world. Men are
greedy to sieze an advantage over
their fellows. They seek the power
to make other men work for them
without return on their part and that
power is found supreme in the exclu-
sive ownership of the soil. So long
as we place taxes on buildings so
long will it be Improbable to build.
1t is worse than folly to drive down
rents by legislation. Now when the
community taxes it's own product,
land value, instead Of taxes on wealth.
the building problem will solve ITSELF
for then it will pay to build, and it
WON'T pay to hold land out of use.

The inhabitants of Colchis, set in
the valleys of the inaccessible eau
casus to the northward of the Asiat-

cient times. They were a free and
barbarous people, but were invited to
the cultivation of commerce by the
vicinity of two seas which were for
merly Joined towards the north, and
attained by means Of it to a great de-
gree Of opulence which made them
celebrated. Their territory of small
extent lay on the eastern shore of
the Euxine sea. The greater portion
Of it was marshy, and the atmosphere
humid; they had frequent and heavy
rains, great number of channels in
tersected their plains, on the banks
of which the dwellings Of the people
were placed, raised for the most part
upon stakes. The natives of the coun-
try were corpulent and somewhat
above the middle stature, and their
language was hard of utterance and
ungraceful. Their chief river, the
Phasis. like the Rhine, Lost itself in
interminable sands.

Those merry, practical jokers at
Trenton (among whom I wished my
self last year, like Bunyan at Heavens
gate), passed law to discourage third
parties. They amended the election
law so that five men must go before
notary and swear that they saw all
the signatures made to the petitions
and believe them to be those of gen.
uine voters. 1t takes 100 signatures
to get Assemblymen on the ticket.
Now if five big, strong men suddenly
appear before man with weak
heart and demand his signature he
might drop dead So if you find a
dead body and see five men walking
about with sealed lips, you will know
that there is a Third Party trying to
get on the ballot.

Interesting News From
The Gift Shop

the Authorities promptly hit back and
the council room was raided by police
and soldiers.
Meetings have just been held
throughout Ireland for the purpose of
selecting the judges who are to pre-
side over the Sim Fein parish courts.
Those courts have Jurisdiction in all
cases under $50 in value and it is in
tended that their judges shall eventu-
ally be elected by the votes of the peo-
pie in whose districts they operate.
Regularly Elected Later.
Pending the organization of cleo
toral machinery for the purpose they
have been selected by a conference
composed of members of the Dali Fir
cam for the constituency, the men,
bers of the county council, one clergy
man for each denomination from each
parish, the members of the urban and
rural councils, one representative Of
each Sim Fein club, one member of
each company of volunteers and one
representative of each trades union
body. The judges so selected are to
act till December. when there will be
a regular election by ballot of the vot-
ers.
At Limerick, the police invaded a
Sim Fein court and seized the pa
pers, but scores of courts are held ev-
cry day and interference is not at
tempted because their time and place
of meeting are usually kept secret ex-
cept to the parties concerned. In some
places, however, the courts are held
as openly as the kings courts.

Perplexed Experts.

They propose to clean out, and make
into decent dwellings, all the old tene-
ment death traps in New York City,
that is, put new wine into old bot
ties. But what good will that do, If
the tax rate on them is raised accord
ing to law? The landlords will have
to charge more rent, and so we go on
round the vicious circle! Then they
will abolish taxes on mortgages to
induce people to loan money for new
buildings. The laws now are aimed
to keep rents of apartments down,
but not those of offices and stores. So
naturally builders will erect stores and
offices by preference because they can
make return for their money with
out question. In ALL the newspapers
you find the land question ignored,

sonally? apologies to Evening
