NEW LAWS -
NEW LAWS THE Motor, Employment of Children, Poor Prisoners' Defence, Railway (Electrical Power), Patriotic Fund Reorganisation, and Housing of the Working Classes Acts are among the new laws which came into operation with the New Year. Motor cars are to be registered and the drivers to be licensed, but cars may now be driven at a rate up to twenty miles an hour, except where it is dangerous to do so. The offences under the Act are (1) driving 'a car reck- lessly and negligently, or in a manner dangerous to he public (2) refusing name or address, or giving a false name or address; (3) refusal by the owner of a car to give information (4) using a car which is not registered, or to which the identification mark is not fixed; (5) driving a car without a licence. If an accident occurs to any person, horse, or vehicle owing to the pre- sence of a motor-car on the road the driver must stop and give his name and address, and that of the owner of the car. The Poor Prisoners' Defence Act provides that a prisoner may, if his means are in sufficient 49 enable him to pay for legal aid when on his trial, obtain it at the cost of the county rate. The Employment of Children Act renders it necessary for all children between the ages of ten and fourteen who are employed on the stage to be licensed. Formerly the maximum age limit was ten years. The new Housing of the Working Classes Act, which came into operation on the 1st of January will, says the Local Government j Journal," enable local authorities to extend their housing schemes, and to provide accommodation for the working classes at reasonable rents, which has hitherto been practically impossible owing to the restric- tions which the new Act removes. By extending the period of repayment of loans for sites to eighty years, and for buildings to sixty years, local authorities will be able to reduce the present scale by at least six-- pence, and in some cases a shilling, per week,
WALES UNDER PROTECTION. •…
WALES UNDER PRO- TECTION. •» >\r. V V' "• >, MR. W. LLEWELYN WILLIAMS gave a graphic picture of Wales under Protection" at the Pontypridd Liberal Club on Monday evening. Mr WILLIAMS said that Wales under Protection, in the twenties and thirties, was almost entirely agricultural, and "Jevery rood maintained its man." The farmer was a patriarch at the head of a household. Six or seven pounds a year represented the wages of the chief man-servant, three or four pounds that of the head servant maid. Nearly all the clothes were made at home all the food was grown on the farm. Butchers' meat and wheaten bread were never tasted except at rent-audit; the staple food of the family consisted of broth and flummery, rye or barley bread, and salted beef or pork. Tea was a luxury enjoyed only once a day by the housewife. No money wa.s spent on agricultural implements or domestic furniture. Ploughs and harrows were made of wood, often by the farmer himself threshing was done by lails, winnowing by means of a sieve. The oak furniture-excellent of its kind-did duty for several generations. Roads were main- tained out of the tolls paid at the turnpike gates; an education rate was unheard of. ) newspapers were few, and Welsh news- papers, depending almost entirely on the rural public, could not be maintained until after Free Trade. There was hardly any money in currency. Often the shopkeeper, the shoemaker, the carpenter, the smith, the weaver, and the dyer were paid in kind, not in coin. All the cash went to the landlord and, in the last decade of Protection, to the parson. The one expenditure which the inpoverished peasantry would not forego was that on their religion. In spite of their grinding poverty, they insisted on erecting a national system of Free Churches. The good old days of Protection" were not good for those who lived at that time. Protection :ieai!y drove the people of Wales into anarchy, if not rebellion. The men of Oartiiart'.T-n raised a riot to prevent the e/ -tat.i^ of cheese: the of .iteiihyr an A Newport openly deiied the 11 iv the Rebecca ri sers 1 educed West Wales to the position of a moonlighting Irish district. F: om these evils they had" been saved by Free Trade. The lesson of the past had been burnt into the heart and conscience of the people, and they would never be wheedled or frightened back into the old days of black brend and low wages. Reforms were necessary, but they must look for the real remedies to other quarters and other measures-to an extension of the principles of the Workmen's Compensation Act, to old-age pensions, to bettee" by means of the municipalities, to more equitable land laws, to a reform of the licensing laws, and to a more rational system of education.
. --. NOTES AND COMMENTS.…
NOTES AND COMMENTS. On account of the war rumours there was an advance of 2a. a quarter on wheat afc Swindon Corn Market on Monday. -{{- The Glasgow City Council decided on Mon- day, by thirty-five votes to five, to cloae pub lie houses at ten o'clock instead at elevex eel,ock all the year round. -II The Home Secretary has declined to re- consider his refusal to confirm the appoint- ment of Sergeant and Chief Clerk Richard Jones, as Chief Constable for the county of Cardigan. The next meeting of the Standing Joint Police Com- mittee will be held on Thursday next. 1/ -li- The Scarborough Board of Guardians have passed a resolution recording the fact that the workhouse was now overcrowded, and many of the inmates had become dependent on the rates from the intemperance of them- selves or their relatives. In view of these facts, the Board urge Licensing Justices to reduce the number of licensed houses, and so diminish the temptation to excessive drink- ing, in the interests of the ratepayers and al- so of those who brought ruin upon themselves The Aberystwyth Town Council on Tuesday decided to go on with the work of improv- ing" the Castle ground. It has not yet been. made known at whose behest this work was stopped. This spirit of meddlesomeness is s- new thing in the history of the Council. By whom has it been introduced? Capricious interferences of this kind may sometimes cost the ratepayers more than the amounts involved in completing the schemes in hand. Procrastination is a theif of money as well as of time. A terrible disaster is reported from Chic- ago. The Iroquois Theatre was destroyed by fire last week. The alarm was raised dur- ing a performance, and a panis ensued in which fearful scenes, described elsewhere, took place. Hundreds of people were piled up in masses in the corridors, and the loss of life was enormous. Among horrible sug- gestions of cowardice the moral of the awful catastrophe is that the bulk of the people were not burnt but crushed to death. Thit fire haC; led, as all such holocausts do, to a spasmodic demand for greater safety in thea- tres. In a week or two this will die out and verything will go on as before until » similar shock again lets loose the waters of discussion for a few days. -rr The mote of the time which strikes us as most dangerous is, (says the "Spectator") the note of light-mindedness,, or rather of a word the equivalent of which we wish we had- in the language- — legerefce. We look upon war- like amateurs, upan taxation like millionaires upon social welfare like superintendents of police. We postpone everything to the die- tire for excitement, and are happy if the newa of the day, though it be of catastrophe, gives piquant interest to that day's talk. This tome which is new, in England is as dangerous as itever was in France in the time of the Third Napoleon. We are not pessimists, and have no fears for Britain if only her people will be serious,, and allow their strong con- ception of duty to be the dominant motine of their acts. For the moment they seem willing to welcome war in the fFVr IFa4b e, Russians axe ambitious and Japanese soldiers are brave, to treat the uprising in the Near East as if it were ionly a justifiable riot and to discuss a vast pro- ject of fiscal change as if they shared in Mr.' Chamberlain's contempt for statistics and for facts. Great is cricket, and pantomimes are enjoyable, but it is not by devotion to either that the problems of the coming year will be solved. -11- This week we publish the second instal- ment of an address on the breeding of pigs delivered at the annuad meeting of the Uni- versity College Agricultural Society by Mr. Sanders Spencer, of Holywell Manor. Mr. Spencer is a recognised authority on pigs, and is the largest breeder of large and mid- dle white Yorkshires in this country. He is the author of a book on Pigs aud their management "I which is used as a text book at the leading Agricultural Colleges..It- is to be hoped that the Welsh farmers will care- fully peruse the address, and endeavour to improve their pigs on the lines recommended by Mr. Spencer. As he pertinently re- marked a well bred pig consumes and fattens on a much less quantity or Tood than an ill- bred one, and that it does not pay to keep pigs as stores but to keep them in a thriving condition from birth and fatten them at an early age. The demand of the British pub- lie should be studied by the producers. The tendency in Wales is to produce pigs far too heavy,and, consequently, sell at a lower price per score. Mr. Spencer strongly advocated 'crossing the Welsh pigs with middle whites, and we are informed that this cross has al- ready proved most successful in Cardigan- ishire-a county which has always been pro- verbial for the breeding of pigs. According to the revenue returns made up the 31st December, the prospects of the tax payer are anything but rosy. It will be re- membered that the customs were estimated to produce L200,000 more than last financial. 1 year, but the return from this source dp' the nine months just ended is L400 tpss J than in the corresponding nine ninths of lat year. Thus, to come up to the estimat- ed yield, there must be a return of 1:600,000 more in this March quarter than in last, and this in spite of the removal of the Corn Duty. The Excise returns are wow. They were estimated to exceed last year by £ 600,0004 and in tne nine ruonths there has been a fall- ing off oJ: £ 800,000, so that to justify the e8,. timate the March quarter must give the Treasury jei,400,000 more than the sum raised in March quarter last year—a very improbable event. There is also a serious falling off in the estates returns and in other directions, while the income tux wai scareely reach the estiuiuted yield. Upon the whole there is reason to expect a deficiency of rev- enue on the But get estimate or about £ £ 3,000,000. Nor is this ali, lor ;t is almost certain tluit expeiiuituje will txcjtd the os- timate. S.) adding t"g.;the,o the p obable deft cieucy of revenue aid the IHOOautC excess of expenditure ti.e o may, very e a defi- cit f quite £ 4,000,000.
