The man who did not study the ideal of having half of his Income available for the state was not doing his duty, said Edwin Samuel Montagu, financial secretary of the Treasury, in replying in the House of Commons to criticisms of the new taxes imposed by the budget of Reginald Mc Kenna, Chancellor of the Exchequer.

He said the country had not yet bent itself to the task of meeting the obligations imposed by burdens which involved an expenditure amounting to not less than two-thirds of the entire estimated na tional, yearly income. Therefore, it fol lowed, he said, that every citizen ought to be prepared to put no less than half his current income at the disposal of the state, either by tax or loan; To do this. Mr. Montagu continued, the civil population must stint itself and rearrange its whole life wlthregard to the consumption of luxuries. .
