But the lords rejected the Scottish bill, and when it was sent back tq them they emasculated lt; whereupon the commons took no fur ther steps with any of these measures. Doubtless Bannerman was-formulating some such policy as that which was afterwards adopted; but before his plans came to fruition he died and Mr. Asqulth became prime minister1 ln his place. . It was during the earlier months of Asqulth's leadership that the , Llber&l party seemed on all hands to have gone ddwn to political destruction, and pro tection to have risen out' of its ruins. The party had seemed weak in-not mak ing', an issue with , the lords., over their emasculation1 of' the Scottish land val ues bill, or in pushing its sister bills to a climax vigorously and theft bring ing the deadlock before the voters of the country If the lords continued their obstructive policy. Culminated In Elections. But belief plane were ripening and they have culminated now ln the elec tions about to be held. The Issue was raised in the financial budget for the year, which the Liberal ministry in troduced in the house of commons last spring. kr,-t:-(;-,::r-':. -:.

One other advantage of this mode ef procedure, simply as political strategy, waa the fact that an old age pension bill, enacted by the commons under Liberal lead, and by the lords moat reluctantly, would, in Conjunction with the bill for warships , cause a deficit of $(0,000,000 for the year. It waa this huge deficit that enabled the min istry to say in effect, "We must either abolish old age pensions and build no more warships, or we must, find new sources of revenue-" . ,! Oeorg-e, ' Mated Kan. . .: The financial budget, prepared la de tail and ably defended through a six months debate, by David Lloyd Georgo, the best hated man of the day la noble circles turned from the ' almost ex hausted resources of public revenue to which Britons are accustomed (Indirect taxation upon the people's needs, to the untaxed lands of the privileged classes. . . .- . Many other sources of revenue were touched upon In this budget, but most of them and the only ones that have raised a hue and cry among the' priv ileged classes were the land value taxes. Even the high liquor taxes proposed are essentially land taxes, for llqaor li censes are so related to "public' house" site that the Inordinate profits of the business are sucked by the site own ers, so that tnere le as mucn sense poetry In the common talk ever here of an alliance In these British elections between "the peerage and the beerage." When the budget had passed the com mons and come into the lords the peers were bent upon ."putting a crimp into It" Some It of them, mostly, men raised to the peerage for able service In public life as commoners, voted, for one reason and another some because they believe in the measurer some be cause they consider it unconstltwtlonal for the bouse of lords to meddle with revenue laws, and some because they considered lt Imprudent to do so In ' favor of the financial budget aa it had come from the house of commons. Peers Xejeel Bill. But most of the peers Who were born the "betters" of their lowlier born fel lows, had no scruples, and by an over whelming majority the bill was rejected. Tet a little play acting was done for the benefit of groundings. The lords professed that in refusing to concur in taxing the "Beerage and the Peer age," they were standing for the peo ple, wherefore, instead of formally vot ing down the bill,' they merely adopted a resolution to the effect that so radi cal a measute ought not to be adopted until approved by the people. This declaration of the lords was ac cepted by the ministry as a defiance of the house of commons by the hereditary body. Indeed, It could not be regarded otherwise. So the ministry asked the king for a dissolution of parliament and writs for new elections. The re quest was complied with as a matter of course and Immediately the campaign waa on in Its full heat The underlying issue at these clee tlons Is the budget, and with a special reference to the land clauses. While the taxes Imposed by the budget would fall lightly chough upon land only about two mills of tax to one dollar of existing land value and 20 cents Of tax to every dollar of Increase inland. value yet, in order that any land tax at all could be levied,, it was necessary to provide for a Complete valuation of all the land of Great Britain. Exampt Trends Talued. Even exempt lands had to be valued, so that their right to exemption might appear. But light as Is the proposed tax lt. would be heavy enough to break up many a great estate of monopolised English lands; and the provisions for general valuation and a heavy tax upon Increased value were rightly recognifed as a long stride In the direction of tha abolition pf landlordism. Hence, the length to Which the lords havo gone to kill the Lloyd-George budget Hence, also, the question of land mo nopoly as the underlying Issue of these elections. Truly, they are enabling the people of England to understand why, in the language of Lloyd-George, "Ten thousand own the soil of England and all the rest are trespassers in the lan J of their birth." It Is of more than passing interest to note that the. year In which this ques tion Is on trial ln England is the 200th anniversary of the first series of act of parliament for .the enclosure of the common lands.1- UntU 1710,-various en- tilosures of the common lands of Eng. land had beeii made by the so-called ho. blllty, by, the arbitrary acts of a par liament whhb represented no common Interests, but only the interests of land monopolists. ,;-.'i '; yv; v ' Until that year two witnesses' would be produced . to swear falsely regarding some area of common land, that tn Its present atate it waa not worth using; ana (Hereupon parliament would annex the "worthless"- land to some lord's holding and turn an Independent' peas antry Into dependent tenants, -' f Swiss ef Sncloaare Aets. ! Those were the days when It was a sin "to steal the goose from off . tha common,' but a noble virtue "to steal the common front the gopae." But thw land grabbers; wearying- of their wickedness la stealing eommon lands through the testimony ef false wltneesest began to put through the par liaments they controlled, a serlea of enclosure acta and finally a general en closure act, under which those old lords appropriated the common lands of Eng land as easily and honestly aa American railroads in later years . have approp riated an empire ef public lands In the United States. From 17U te mt, there had been enclosed as private property enaer roese tmtisn enclosure acta, no lea man 7,0,3 acre of common land about one third of the cultivable land of England. As ti systematic enclosure act beran In 1710, there le a certain appropriate nets in the issue to be tried at the ap proaching British elections in mo. Al though these elections do not look to the restoration of the common lands. they do look and that right smartly to the taking tn taxation for Common use of their growing valuee. Although the land Question ia thus the underlying issue of the coming par liamentary elections in Great Britain, It le probably not the question on which they are likely to turn. By rejecting the financial budget, thereby putting a climax trpon their obstruction to all lib eral legislation, the bouse of lords raised, another lssae. Quee-Uo Between Commons and Lerda, As X was told by a British officer of the British ship on which I crossed the Atlantic, "the question Is ne longer between Liberal and Conservative, but between the commons and lords." If the lords wtn their right to veto liberal leg islation of all kinds, even financial leg islation, no one can predict what the course of the Incoming parliament will be. That an attempt will be made by the followers of Chamberlain to Intro duce tariff taxation much more exten sively than it now exists, and with pro tective features, la probable; and Its de feat In a break' up of the' Conservative party la quite probable. ' ' This tariff Issue le the only one that you sea displayed In postern upon bill board In Liverpool, but If th. lords are decisively defeated, the future la easy to furecast In that case not only will the financial budget with all Its bittei land clauses be sent to them again. In dorsed by tha popular approval they pre. tend so- much consideration . for, but they will also be called upon to, legis late away their own claims to an abso lute vete upon the legislation Of the house of commons. ( i ' - Instead of the absolute veto they now assert, they will be asked to agree that hereafter any veto ef theirs upon any legislation by the house of commons shall be suspensory only; that la. that when, the house of common pease Its own measure ever its own veto they shall thereupon be law without the ap proval of the house of lords. . " t Kmc WM Appoint. And If the lords refuse te agree to this, the king will be expected to ap point enough Liberal peer to make majority In the house of lards suffi cient te bring that body late Una with public opinion In thla respect . Once before tn the modern history of Great Britain' ha the . veto power of the houae ef lords on a financial bill been queatloned In British politics. It wa SO year ago when Mj. Gladstone waa chancellor of the exchequer in the British ministry under the premiership of Lord Palmerston. ' In his financial budget Mr. Oladatone prono-sed the re peal of tha duty on paper, one of the remnanta of British protectionism to which the paper manufacturer and the eatabliahed newspaper clung.' the latter because K prevented the starting of new Journal and the former because It gave monopoly of paper manufacture. It waa another caae of vested inter est against common rights ana the public good. Mr. Oladatone carried the repeal of the paper duties in the bouse of commons, but by a small majority; and the house of lords voted down the repeal. The question did not go to the voters then, as It has now. But the commons took pains to put their own view on record in a series or resolu tlon offered by Palmeraton and adopted by the commona. Claimed Zxelnsive Bltfht. These resolutions claimed for the commons the exclusive right of complete control over questions of taxation. It Is reported of Palmerston. that . when aaked his intentions regarding the lords, he said "I mean to tell, them that It was a very good Joke tor orve, but they must not give It to us again." .But now, after the lapse of half a century they have done It again. Thla time, however, the mliVatry carries the question to the country instead of be ing content with protecting resolutions, and the. very existence of the house of lords as a legislative body hangs In the balance. Only by winning at the election now to near -at hand can It hope either to save Itself and heredi tary privileges of legislation, or te the grvat lnd mohopollata ef Great Britain a continuance of exemption from taxa tion upon their enormously valuable land, . .
