BUDGETBULL'S-EYES (FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) The House of Lords have done the deed. Like Macbeth, they have hesitated over it long, but now at last it is done, and the English people enter into a period of changed relationship towards their aris- tocracy. For the Lords have now raised a ques- tion which will have to be settled in one way or another, and which cannot be left in its present position. It. is not possible in a State, any more than in a household, for more than one authority to manage the purse. It is common ground in all human, affairs that the purse cannot be in two hands at once, and that the hand that holds the purse is the hand that also rules. Now the claim put in by the House of Lords is that it should take the purse from the House of Commons. If that claim be accepted, then the House of Commons prac- tically ceases to exist in any important sense. The House of Lords takes its place. We do not propose to argue this matter over again on constitutional grounds. There the Liberal -Party has achieved a, complete victory. They have shown by chapter and ver&e, over and over again, that this interference of the House of Lords is an unprecedented act. That position is now practically accepted by the Tory Party. They openly boast that it is unprecedented. The new claim put forward now is that an unprecedented act was necessary, and that the House of Commons has lost its right to govern the nation. That is the great ques- tion on which they propose that a new House of Commons should be elected. In other words, they ask a House of Commons to come into being in order to commit suicide. But put aside all constitutional authori- ties and look at the matter from the sim- plest point of view. What would happen if the House of Lords won in this tight ? The whole position of politics would be changed. For the last fifty years no vote of the House of Lords has ever upset a British Ministry. But henceforward no British Government could rule for more than a year without possessing a majority in the House of Lords. But that would be only the first result. The second result would be that no Budget could be passed which was not pleasing to the House of Lords. No Government, in- deed, would ever bring a Budget in unless they were certain that the House of Lords would pass it. The House of Lords would practically dictate the Budget. We need not dwell on the Parliamentary results of that change. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, for instance, would pro- bably have to sit in the House of Lords. The Budget speech would have to be de- livered in the Lords as well as in the Com- mons. The Estimates must be considered by the Lords as well as the Commons. That is quite clear, because any other arrange- ment would lead to intolerable uncertainty and confusion during the financial year. But all that is of small importance J compared with the greater matters. The real point to keep your eye on is what would be the social and political results ? I « in the iirst place, as Mr. Birrell pat it the other day. it would mean annual Par- liaments for Liberals and septennial Par- liaments for Conservatives. That is one small political result. But, in the second place, it would mean that all the vested interests represented in. the Lords would be practically free from new taxation from that time forward. What are those vested interests? Well, the most important is land. The Derby Return, published in 1875, showed that 525 Peers held 15,300.000 acres of cul- tivated land in the United Kingdom. This was exclusive of their possessions in forests and woods, in roads and rivers, or in Lon- don. But it showed that those 525 Peers then held one-third of the cultivated land of the United Kingdom. But if we add 5,000,000 acres for their other possessions—forests and woods, roads and rivers, and the London area—then the landed possessions of those 525 Peers come up to 20,000,000 acres. And the average of each Peer's landed estate works out at 38,000 acres. You have only to consider those facts, and to realise that no new tax will be placed on land if once the Lords get control: of our finances. All these unearned incre- ments will still go rolling into their pockets, and local authorities will still have to pay the high prices which they pay at present for their land. Nothing will be changed. Take one fact. We have been told on good authority, by one who knows them, that the Dukes'of Great Britain are poor but honest." The phrase throws a new light on what one means by honest poverty. For the Derby Return shows that the Dukes possessed in 1875 no less than 4,000,000 acres, with a rent roll of £ 2,350,000. That is the sort of honest poverty which a good many people would be willing to share. Reckoning the in- crease in these estates since 1875, it works, out at' something not much less than j3100,000 a year each though it must be remembered that, while several of these' Dukes are very rich, others of them scarcely get their fair share. The only other class that is largely re- presented in the House of Lords is the class of the brewers. They have succeeded dur- ing the last fifty years in obtaining several big Peerages, thus forging an interesting link between the Beerage and the Peerage. We may be sure, then, that, while the land- lords would keep the people strenuously off the land, they would console them for thrusting them into the slums by encourag- ing them to drink the greatest possible amount of liquor. There would certainly be no more taxes on drink. The people of Great Britain, in the eyes of these great landlords, are to become a landless but in- toxicated people, consoled for being driven off the earth by perpetual immersions in alcohol. That is a pretty vision of revived1 feudalism. -ft SuHr is the prospect before us if the Lords win. What is the alternative ? Why, it is to pass a Budget which presents to the people of this country the best chance of development given to them for a hundred years. The Budget is just,, humane, patriotic, and efficient. It is at once en- terprising and sober, thrifty and national. It provides the only proper basis for a self- respecting democracy. Which will you have—a selfish aris- tocracy, with its hand over the whole land of England, or a self-respecting democracy, owning what it earns, and .earning what ic owns ? That is the choice before the people of this country during the next two months.

THE COWING FIGHT. Now that the death knell of the Budget has been sounded in the House of Lords, it is high time to look around us and review the forces we have at our command for the coming battle. There ia a very real 1 danger in being over sanguine, and despite the fact that every constituency in North Wales appears impregnable to the Conser- vative attack, the Liberal Party must not take this as an excuse for inactivity. We do not doubt that all the seats in the northern half of the Principality are as safe now as they were in 1906 if the Party does its duty with that thoroughness and en- thusiasm which then characterised it, but care must be taken that there is no diminu- tion in the Liberal poll owing to a feeling of security. Every available vote must be polled as before, or majorities will be re- duced. Notwithstanding the repeated statements made on authority more or less reliable that a Conservative candidate has been secured for Carnarvon Boroughs, Mr Lloyd George is still without an opponent. We do net expect that he will be returned without a contest, though there is, of course, not the ghost of a chance for any Conservative can- didate who may be prevailed upon to upposp, him, but it will be the policy ofthe Uncon- stitutional Party to oppose him if only to keep him at home as much as possible. But in any case Mr Lloyd George's services wll be in great request in the large towns dur-I ing the coming campaign, and the Liberal.- I of Carnarvon Boroughs must be prepared to make a greater sacrifice now than during any previous election. Would it be imper- tinent to ,suggest to the Conservatives of the Carnarvon Boroughs that they should persuade a popular local solicitor to cham- pion their cause? He would certainly give them an excellent run for their money, and would bring no discredit on them. The other Carnarvonshire members are also with- out opponents, and it will be useless to con- test either Arvon or Eivion unless it be with the object of keeping Mr William Jones and Mr Ellis Davies fully occupied in their own constituencies during the campaign. In West Denbighshire Sir Herbert Roberts has to 1 face that singular combination, the Conser- vative Workingman but Sir Herbert's posi- tion is unassailable, and his supporters aie not in the least disconcerted by Mr Sam Thompson's persistent wooing of the con- stituency. Mr Haydn Jones' position in Merioneth is as secure as that of any candi- date in the whole kingdom. In Flint) Bor- oughs Mr Summers will replace Mr Idris, and in the county Mr Herbert Lewis' seat is perfectly safe. In Anglesey, Mr R O. Roberts, a native of Holyhead, has come out in the Unionist interests, and is stumping the island against the sitting member, Mr 'Ellis Jones Griffith. Of course, he does not think he is likely to oust liio Liberal member, but he is determined to have a contest, and hopes to reduce the Liberal majority. Rumours are current that the Conserva- tive Party in Anglesey have another card up their sleeve, and that at the last moment a well-known Conservative who has great (I local influence will be launched on the elec- torate as a Labour candidate. The Union- ists recognise that the fight will be a hope- less one, unless something is done in order to split the Liberal vote by running a third or even a fourth candidate. It is no secret that pressure has been brought to bear on a well known Anglesey man to contest the seat as a Socialist. Even if the Liberal vote is split, Mr Ellis Griffith's position will be quite safe, but we cannot believe that a third candidate will be forth coming- There is, indeed, not a single constituency in North Wales where a triangular contest is likely to split the Progressive vote, and there aie encouraging signs that three-cornered fights will be avoided in the g"at majority of cases throughout the United Kingdom. One of the London Unionist Journals, the other day, estimating the Tory prospects in the constituencies, remarked that. any ma- jority to be obtained by them must not be sought in Wales or Ireland, hut almost ex- clusively in England. Truth to tell, the Unionist outlook in North Wales is very black; we see no hope for them anywhere, not even in Montgomeryshire, where poli- tical tight-rope dancing has been elevated into a fine art. Yes, the London paper is quite right; the House of Lords has few friends in North Wales. But for that hopelesslv re-actionary institution Wales would have enjoyed religious freedom a quarter of a century ago at least.
