NODION Llywarch Hen. Y tri gwyr hwyaf eu bwa yn yr Etholiad presenol yw Mri. Lloyd George, F. E. Smith, a Winston Churchill. Poena Mr. F. E. Smith hyd ei fedd bron yng nghylch iaith Mr. Lloyd George. Ysgydwa ei ben yn ol y dduwioldeb a roddwyd iddo ef i ym- boeni yn achos ei nhaws. Ond sicrha Mr. Winston Churchill ni fod Mr. Lloyd George amser yn "witty" a Mr. F. E. Smith bob amser yn "vulgar." Cofied "Mr. F. E." "ffiai a pha farn y barnoch eich bernir." Gan gofio ysgrythyrwr bychan ydyw. A'n etholiad ym Mon. Y mae Mr. R. O. Roberts am dreio'r ddinas hono eto, er nad oes ganddo ond rhyw ddwy fil o wyr i orch- fygu saith mil a mwy. Diystra gwyr Mon yr ymgeisydd Ceidwadol yn enbyd. Dywed. asant wrth eu haelod, Mr E J Griffith, K.C., am droi allan i gynorthwy ym mha le hynag y bo angen eu help. Yr ymladdent hwy y frwydr ym Mon, ac y talent yr holl dreiiiau. Yna. yn y wedd hon a holl am- canion y Ceidwadwyr yn ofer: ni fedrant roddi .uno ddimai o gcst, na'i gadw gartref. Digalon yw hwylio ilcng fechan yn erbyn gwynt mawr, yn neillduol pan n.t fedro'r o capten ar forvriipth. Yn ol chwedl hanes, y gwr priodol i gyn- rychioli Bwrdeisdrefi Arfon yw dyn caws, meddal, a bwytadwy. Bu Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, PLas Coch, Mon, yn cynrychioli'r Trefi am 45 o flynyddoedd. Yn ystod y cyfnod maith hwn bu Geidwadwr, yn Geid- wadwr Rhyddfrydig, ac yn Rhyddfrydwr. A gwnaeth y tro gan yr etholwyr yn ei daix diwig wleidyddol, a chafwyd ei ddewis heb etholiad bum waith yn ystod tymor ei was- anaeth. Hen foneddwr hynaws oedd Mr. Hughes, heb fawr raen ar ei wleidyddiaeth, ac am ei fod felly, boddlona bawb. Xid yw Dadgysylltiad yn groes nodedig i raen Esgob Llanelwy, y Dadwaddoliad— am yr arian y mae yr ymrafael. Pe ceid cyfrifiad crefyddol, medd efe, fe geid gwel- ed fod agos haner poblogaeth Cymru yn Eglwyswyr. Oni wyr efe oddi wrth ei wybodaeth am Gymru yn amgenach. Pa ddiben honi pethau y mae pob cydwybod yn y wlad yn tystio i'w gwyrni. Nid oes gan yr esgob rifeb i'w feio am wrtliod cyfrif- iad ond offeiriaid ei eglwys ecf ei hun. Hwy wnaethant gyfrifiadau yr amseroedd basiodd yn iiollol diwerth a cliamarweiniol. Y fath ariangarwoh sy'n ysu yr Eglwys Gristion- ogol yn ein gwlad. Barbariaeth mewn gogoniant yw rhyfel eulun teyrnasoedd, a'r man lie ca bariaeth falch ei gwala o fri, gwertli gwaed dynion. Onid yw angaa yn dwyn digon o alanas ar ein byd yn ei ffordd arferol, heb ddysgu dynion i'w helpio yn ei wasanaeth. Onid yw'n anuwioldeb a gwarth fod doniau goreu gwyddoniaeth a medr yn cael eu cysegru i wasanaeth tywallt gwaed, i lunio arfau dinistr. Y mae byddin wladol Austria dros ddwy filiwn a hanci Germany a Ffrainc dros dair miliwn yr un, a Rwsia dros bedair miliwn. Ym Mhrydain, rhwng y fyddin a'r Llynges, y mae dros filiwn o wyr parod i ryfel, o bobl wedi en dysgu i dywallt gwaed. Cyst ein byddin i ni oddeutu 62 o filiwnau bob blwyddyn. Y fath glod i ddynoliaeth. yw Rhyfel! Dynion yn setlo anhawsterau nid a synwyr ond a chledd; nid yn ol eg- I wyddor gyfiawn, ond yn ol y trechaf treisied. Os ganwyd ír. lloyd George i ymladd dreigiau, rhaid iddo ymladd pan nas hoffo. Rhaid iddo ymladd am ei sedd unwaith eto. 11 Dengys hyn fawredd casineb arglwydd neu ddau ato. Pe wedi gwisgo menyg am ei cldwyl0 a llefaru'n fwy wrth fodd calon pen- d.figion y tir, cawsai hamdden. Ni welaf fai ar y gwr ieuange a ddaw allan i frwydro ag ef. Ni thybia ef na neb arall yr enilla. Digon ogoniant iddo fydd ymladd yn erbyn y gwleidyddwr mwyaf poblogaidd yn y wlad. Aiff ei enw i lawr i amser ffawd fel y gwr ymladdodd frwydr yn ei ieuengctyd a Chymro enwocaf yr oes. Oni bydd sdn am dano ym mhob man? Oni chlywir enw'r arwr ieuangc yng nghynulliad pobl- oedd, boed gongl heol neu dafarn? Na feier, gall fod yn dro yn olwyn ei fywyd, I Daeth Ethohad cv, a'r swyi gwyliau llawen, y talwyd eu cludiad i Germany, i weled pob paradwys yn y wlad hono; daeth etholiad cyn iddynt gael hamdden i feddwl eu breuddwydion. Chwardd y Ger- maniaid am ben y chwareu plant. Rhaid iddynt chwerthinj neu ryfeddu at fawr ddeall gweithwyr Cymru a Lloegr yn medru deall a gweled holl gyflwr masnach Ger- many mewn rhyw wib wyth niwrnod trwy'r wlad. Onid oes yma ddiffyg synwyr heb law cydwybod, anfon pcbl i weled masnach y wlad hono, na welsant ddim o fasnach ein gwlad ni, na buont yn un o'i threfi ond Liverpool. Ni ddeallant ddim o iaith y wlad, ni chant, ac ni fedrant holi. Rhodd- ant wib trwy'r tir i'w weled o'r trên, cymerant hamdden hafaidd yn yr Hotels, ymwelant a rhyw ddwy neu dair weithfa, a deuant adref. Tewi y mae llawer o honynt, a chall ydynt. Rhaid diolch llawer i'r Arglwyddi am iddynt wrth droi a thmsi dynu'r lien yn hollol oddi ar eu safle a'u traha ar Dy'r Cyffredin. Prin y deallodd y wlad yn hollol. mai awdurdod Doriaidd oedd ar y wlad hon. Pa blaid Cymry ddaliai'r awen- au. Tybiai'r bobl, mai rhyw gael a chael fedru bwrw allan fesurau'r Blaid Ryddfryd- ol wna'r -Arglwyddi. Hwy welant heddyw fod yr Arglwyddi yn deall eu cryfder, ac yr cau llwybrau'r bobl a drain wrth eu ham- dden. Cogiant ddiwigio eu hunain, ond pobl oeddent yn ffugio gwella eu hunain oddi wrth bechod garent a phechod yr ym- dynghedant nas gadawant ef ond ar eu gwaethaf. Bedwen yn cyffwrdd a'r byw yw'r taraw- iad gan Mr. Lloyd George fod gwvr teitlog cin gwlad ni yn gwybod melusder doleri Atncrica. Onid oes degau o foneddigesau cyfoethog, ond di-deitlau America, wedi priodi gwyr teitlog ond diarian ein gwlad ni. A byw y maent ar ddoleri America. A choficr nid ar rhyw ddeugain mil y flwyddyn J y maent yn byw. Dengys y cyfarth ar ddoleri casgl Mr. Johu Redmond mor wac- saw yn Etholiad ein gwlad. Codir nad a helfa ar ol popeth a lithio'r bobl ysgafnaf eu meddwl. Cario'r Etholiad yw'r pwngc ac nad yw o un math o wahaniaeth a pha foddion. Nid barddoniaeth, ond gwylltineb sydd yn ein natur, ar hono y dylanwada cartoons a phethau brwd fel doleri America." Nodion Llywarch. Hen

Nodion Ned Llwyd. YR ETHOLIAD. Dyma m wedi cael i'm taflu i ferw'r eth- oliad eto. Yr wyf yn falch fod William Jones ac Ellis Davies yn cael myned yn ol i'r Senedd heb gael eu gwrthwynebu. Mae Ceidwadwyr y ddwy etholaeth yna yn ddigon call i weled mai ffolineb fuasai gwario arian yn ofer, ond am y rhai sydd yn y Bwrdeisdrefi maent hwy eto heb ddyfod yn ddigon call. Gwyddant yn dda nad oes yr un gobaith iddynt am lwyddiant, ond er hynny maent hwy wedi penderfynu dyfod ag ymgeisydd allan yn erbyn Mr. Lloyd George. Mae yn ymddangos fod ei wrthwynebydd yn dyfod o Fflint. Ei enw ydyw Mr. Austen Jones, bargyfreithiwr ieuanc, a mab i reithor Hope. Pe y di- gwyddai alw yma i ofyn am bleidlais dyma fydd yr atebiad gaiff: "I am sorry, Mr. Jones, that you have come from Hope to a place where there is no hope for you." Mae yn sicr gennyf nad ydyw y dyn yn meddwl am ennill o gwbl, ond yn meddwl y gall hyn tod yn foddion i ddod ag ef i sylw. Ymddengys nad oes ond ychydig am- ser i ymladd y frwydr hon, gan y bydd yr etholiad yn cymeryd lie ar Rhagfyr y iofed. Yr wyf yn credu yn onest y bydd mwyafrif y Canghellydd yn llawer mwy y tro hwn nag y bu eriod o'r blaen, gan fod lliaws o'r Ceidwadwyr yn erbyn etholiad o gwbl y tro yma. Sut bynnag, mae y frwydr yn galw ar bob Rhyddfrydwr i wneud ei oreu. Na fydded i neb o honom esgeuluso yr un cyfle i wneud yr hyn a allom i sicrhau i'r Cang- hellydd y fuddugoliaeth fwyaf a gafodd erioed. Mae yn 4ebyg na welwn ond ych- ydig arno ef yn ystod y frwydr hon, fl. chredaf y gallwn wneud hebddo fel y gallo gael ymweled a lleoedd eraill i helpu'r achos da. Gwelaf fod Eifion Wyn wedi cyfansoadi can dda; a dyma hi-- CADLEF ERYRI. (Gan EIFION Wy.) Alaw Rhyfelgyrch Cadben Morgan. Unwaith yn rhagor, sefwch megis un, Dros eich anrhydedd, dros eich dyn! Cymry yr oesau'n syllu arnoch sy', Rheswm ac iawnder saif o'ch tu Byddwch ddynion byw i bob sarhad. Nid ymhith caseion eich cred a'ch gwlad. Wyr Eryri sefwch megis un,- Cofiwch am eich tadau a'ch plant eich hun. Caled vw'ch dwylaw, garw fel y maen, i saif mynyddoedd bro o'ch blaen! Gaiff ieirll a duciaid—epil gwyr o waed— FathTu eich breintiau tan eu traed? Gaiff segurwyr wneud ohonoch wawd? Gaiff eu dwylaw gyffwrdd a'ch bara tlawd? Wyr Eryri! sefwch megis un,- Cyfaill goreu'r gweithiwr yw ef ei hun. Cofiwch werinwyr! cofiwch ddydd y gad! Heriwch arglwyddi glwth eich gwlad! Byddwch yn Gymry cywir hyd y earn, Sefwch dros Ryddid, dros eich barn Unwaith eto gwybed byd eich nerth, Na foed dyn ohonoch yn ddyn ar werth! Wyr EIJTÎ! sefwch megis un,- Brwydrwch dros Wirionedd a thros eich dyn. PENMAENMAWR. Teimlir llawenydd j-ma :m fod y Parch. W. F. Phillips, B.A., B.D., wedi ei ddewis fel ymgeisydd yn erbyn Mr. John Williams ym Morgannwg. Yr oedd mwyafrif Mr. Williams yn yr etholiad diweddaf yn 6780, felly gwehr fod cryn waith troi y byrddau yma. Er hynny, anrhydedd fawr i Mr, Phillips ydyw fod y blaid Ryddfrydol yn gweled ynddo gytmhwysderau ar gyfer bod yn aelod Seneddol. Gwelais fod un bon- eddwr yn barod i fyned yn gyfrifol am ei gostau i fyny i Z500- Mi fyddai yn dda iawn gennyf pe llwyddai, a dymuniad fy nghalon ydyw mai felly y bydd. Mae gan Phillips ddigon o aUu a dawn i gario dylan- wad mawr. Pob llwydd i'r cyfaill ieuanc ydyw fy nymuniad. LLANFAIRFECHAN. Dyma air gefais oddiyma — Anwyl Ned,—Hwyrach mai nid anydd- orol fyddai gennyt gael hanes ein harwr, M.P. (nid aelod seneddol cofia). Y mae ef wedi hynodi ei hun fel achubwr bywydau, ac fel cydnabyddiaeth am ei waith cafodd Groes Buddug (V.C.) gan Gymdeithas Cornet Llanfairfechan. Llywydd y gym- deithas ydyw Co Bach," ac ar ran y gym- deithas cyflwynodd y trophy i Mr. M.P. Yr oedd y groes wedi ei gwneud o haiarn, ac wedi ei goreuro. Cyflwynwyd gyda'r groes dvstysgrif yn cynnwys manylion am waith ein harwr. Dichon y bydd hyn yrt creu awydd yn hogiau ieuanc y plwyf i geisio gwH€iid gwrhydri eyffelyb.-Buasai yn dda gennyf fod yn bresenol ar amgylch- iad mor ddyddorol. Da iawn ydyw cefnogi gwethredoedd da a theilwng. BANGOR. Yn ol pob arwyddion oeir yma Eisteddfod fawreddog Gwyl y Banc, Awst nesaf. Mae y bond wedi ei harwyddo gan nifer fawr, a phwyllgorau gwahanoJ yn cyfarfod yn rheolaidd eT r-wblh-u y rhestr testynau. CONWY. Yr oedd yn ddrwg gennyf na fuaswn yn gallu bod yng nghyfarfod a gorymdaith y Maer newydd. Da gennyf fod y Cynghorwr Mr. Henry Jones wedi ei ddyrchafu i'r swydd. Credaf y lleinw hi gydag urddas teiKwng. Da ydyw gweled dynion fel y Maer yn dringo i safleoedd mor anrhyd- eddus; dynion sydd wedi gweithio i fyny tnvy gynnifer o anhawsterau, a da ydyw gweled cymdeithas yn cydnabod eu gwerth a'u teilyngdod. GAIR PERSONOL. Diolchgar ydwyf i'r llu anfonodd eiriau caredig ataf yn ystod fy salwch. Mae angvlchiadau fel hyn yn profi fod cyfeillion dyn yn lliosocach nag y mae yn tybio. Ym. welwyd S. mi gan lawer, ac yr oedd eu gweled yn galondid i mi. Diolch iddynt oil. Yr wyf yn awr yn teimlo fy mod ar y ffordd i gael adferiad llwyr am rhyw gyf- nod. Yr wyf wedi ceisio ysgrifennu heno trwy lawer o boen. Feallai y byddaf yn well y tro nesaf. Gobeithio hynny, ynte? NED LLWYD, Weekly News Office, Con'wy.

Killed by a Falling Stone. Three men were working yesterday morn- ing on a ledge at Little Orme's Head lime- stone quarry, drilling a hole for blasting pur- poses. Without warning, a stone fell down from somewhere above them. It struck one of the three at the back of the head and killed him instantly, and rebounded on the legs of the other two men, who, however, were not seriously hurt. The quarryman who lost his life in this tragic manner was named Samuel Harris, and aged 27 years. He had been two years married and left a widow and two children. To all appearances the ledge on which the blasting operations were proceed- ing was a safe one, but is supposed that the very heavy rain of the last few days, with one or two frosty nights had loosened the stone unexpectedly.

True and False Tariff Reform. THE LIBERAL VIEW OF TAXATION. HOW LANDLORDS ESCAPE THEIR FAIR SHARE. JUSTICE OF THE BUDGET. Excellent educational work is being done at the Colwyn Bay Liberal Club, and the example of the Association in this respect might well be followed at other political clubs in North Wales. On Thursday evening the billiard room was crowded with members, who listened with evident pleasure to an able address on "Principles of taxation by Mr. D. Halli- well, of Bolton. Mr. Macallister, who is a welcome addition, to the Liberal forces in the town, made an ideal Chairman. Ir. Halliwell, who is the master of a happy and acceptable style, carried his audience with him all through, as was testified by their frequent applause. In view of the existing crisis he devoted some attention to the House of Lords question from the standpoint of the student of political economy, and hoped that Liberals every- where would seize the present grand oppor- tunity for a final assault upon that hitherto impregnable fortress, an hereditary House of Lords. He was capital on the history of (the rejection, of the Budget, and the hypocritical reasons given for referring it to the people," the principles underlying the clauses and the objections to filling Form IV. The House of Lords, he said, did not reject the measure because they were anxious that the ipeople should not be taxed against their will. Their real anxiety and their real motive was nothing more nor less than a contemptible desire to [escape taxation Ithemselves. (Hear. hear.) The question of taxation brought the two Houses of Parliament into conflict last year", and we are now carrying that conflict a stage further to determine the proper sphere of the House of Lords. It is not unusual for questions of taxation to be the cause of contention. It has been the cause and much strife and even bloodshed in this and other countries. There is nothing in the whole range of politics more im- portant to the welfare of a nation than the manner in which national revenue is raised. From the time a person enters the world to the time he leaves it, whether he be rich or poor, his development and success at every stage is dependent on the presence of an organisation for thenreservation of order, for the protection of his life and pro- perty, and for the administration of justice. These and other functions of the Govern- ment are becoming more and more costly. The national expenditure has more than doubled itself in the last fifty years. The increase is due largely to the greater cost of the Army, the Navy, and the Civil SeT- vice. In 1857-8 .the National expenditure was ^68,129,000, representing £ 2 7s. 6d. per head of the population. By 1908-9 it had increased to ^142,468,109, representing £3 3s. 4d. per head of the population. The Army in 1857-8 cost ^14,406,000; in 1908-9, ^26,840,000. In the same period the cost of the Navy advanced from ^10,590,000 to £ 32,188,000; and the Civil Service from £ 10,147,000 to £ 34,007,109. In 1857 the cost of the Army, Navy and Civil Service was 51 per cent. of the whole; in 1908, 65 per cent. of the whole. The enormous growth of expenditure, parti- cularly for the Army and Navy, is a very serious matter. (Hear, hear.) I do not not want to disregard the fact that our responsibilities have considerably increased during the last ten years. Although we look forward to the time when nations shall beat their swords into plough-shares and their spears into pruning hooks, we are compelled to recognise the fact that there are standing armies in the whole of Europe and, indeed, in the whole world, which renders it necessary for us to be al- w:ays ready with an efficient Army and Navy to protect our shores from invasion, our over-seas trade, and our foreign and Colonial possessions. There is one oi<t- standing feature of all Government expendi- diture-that all money should be spent for the purpose of promoting the general welfare of the nation. The Govern- ment cannot justify the expenditure of moneys except on the sure ground that it is in the interests of every member of the community. Now there are various ways in which revenue to meet Government ex- penditure is raised, but by far the most im- portant is that raised under the head of taxation. Professor Bastable, one of our greatest authorities on public finance, de- fines a tax as "A compulsory contribution of the wealth of a person or body of per- sons for the service of the public powers." The poin.t we need to note in that definition is that it is a compulsory payment. It is payment from which there is no escape. It somes upon you in some form or other— either directly or indirectly. Every tax- payer is concerned with the Government expenditure because it represents something towards which he is compelled to contri- bute, and, being compelled to contribute, he naturally ought to have some control, however slight, over both the way in which it is spent and the manner in which it is raised. One of the great principles which, prior to the last Election, we thought every Englishman held dear, is that there should be NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. (Hear, hear.) Yet we find the Tories de- fending the Lord's action in rejecting the Budget. The authorities to sanction the imposition of taxes are the people's elected representatives. When the King's speech is presented to Parliament he addresses himself solely to the Gentlemen of the House of Commons," on all financial matters, including the raising of the State revenue. But the House of Lords last November, regardless of all Constitutional practice, attempted to wrest the authority from the elected Members of the House of Commons. The Members of the House of Lords are not elected by the vote of the people therefore to have allowed them to veto finance and dictate the manner in which we should be taxed would have swept away, the great bulwark of liberty- no taxation without representation. (Ap- plause.) Economists have laid down principles according to which taxes should be appor- tioned upon each member in the com- munity, so that taxation may be as nearly as possible just to all persons. The first principle is that of equality. Adam Smith in stating this maxim says Every subject of the state ought to contribute towards the support of the Government as nearly as possible in proportion to their respective abilities, i.e., in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the Army, the Navy and the administration pd Justice." Now, before before you can say definitely whether the taxe3 imposed by the Government are being paid according to a person's means you have to consider by whom the taxes are paid, whether they do actually fall upon those who have the ability to pay. It is a fact familiar to everyone that taxes are often shifted by these who first pay them on to the shoulders of others, so that the ultimate payment falls upon persons who in many instances are absolutely in ignor- ance of the taxes' very existence. It is im- portant to make the distinction between direct and indirect taxes very clear. Direct taxes are those imposed immediately on those people whom it is intended should pay them, i.e., the taxes are imposed in such a way that they cannot be shifted on the shoulders of someone else. Good ex- amples are the Income Tax, the Death Duties, the licence for private carriage, and the tax on measurements. On the other hand, indirect taxes can be handed on to someone else. Invariably such taxes are those imposed upon (things we consume, and can therefore be handed on from one to another until they reach the consumer. The tea tax is a good illustration. First it it imposed by the importer, who adds it to the price charged the merchant; the latter puts it on the price paid by the wholesaler, who next transfers it to the shop-keeper, and so on through each successive dealer until it is paid by the consumer over the counter of the retail grocer's shop in the slum, in the village, or on the hillside. (Hear, hear.) The question of indirect taxes is one of VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE WORKING MEN of this country. The more indirect taxes there are, the greater will be the cost of living. Higher cost of living amounts to the same thing as a reduction in wages. {Hear, hear.) During he last 70 years there are has been a slowly operating ten- dency in the dir-ection of fixing the burdens of taxation directly instead of indirectly. In 1841, 73 per cent. of the State revenue was raised indirectly; in 1907-8 it was 48 per cent. These remarkable figures repre- sent a continuous protest against the many injustices which can be perpetrated upon consumers. The agitation for Tariff Re- form is nothing more nor less than a move- ment for multiplying indirect taxation in all directions. They think it is better to spread the taxes over the thousands of breakfast tables of working men than over the million acres of a few landowners. (Hear, hear.) Ir. Chamberlainu said in the House of Commons that three-fourths of the proposed taxes on corn and meat would be paid by the poorer classes. The prices of bread and meat mean a good deal more to the wage-earner than they do to people with large incomes. The poor people spend very much more on the real necessaries of life in proportion to their in- come than do the rich people. Therefore, one of the Free Trade party claim that a tax on food departs from the principle of equality of sacrifice, which is the root prin- ciple of all fair and just taxation. Tariff Reformers know that their proposals must inevitably fall heavily on the poorer people, so they do a great deal of window-dressing to delude the unwary. We are told by those who dislike the Budget that the land taxes will fail heavily upon the poor people. But if a land tax is not a direct tax, and can be transmitted to the poor people, why need the landlords have raised all the agita- tion against the Budget? (Hear, hear.) They knew that the fundamental difference between tax on tea and a Land tax is that an import duty on tea is made before the price is settled on ".he consumer, whereas in the case of a Land tax the landowner has to get his price before the amount of the tax is settled. Suppose that the value of a cer- tain plot of land is retained at Ciooo under the new valuation, and some years hence the landowner receives £2,5°0 for it; that leaves £1500 increment value. If the land- owner has spent nothing towards raising the value of that plot of land and its in- creased value has been due to other causes than his own effort, then he will be called upon to pay a 20 per cent. tax on £ 1350— namely £1500 less 10 per cent. You will see, therefore, that the tax falls directly upon the Land and varies with the amount that is paid for it. The landowner will con- tinue to get the best price he can for his land, just as he is doing at the present time, but the incr-ement alue tax does not operate until the price of the land is settled. Incidentally, you must note that if the land- owner has spent money on the development of land that amount is deducted before the increment tax is charged. (Hear, hear.) Now the question arises whether land is paying its fair share of taxation. Let us appeal to history. From the time of King Alfred to Elizabeth Tudor land furnished the greater part of the State revenue. In the case of the Hundred Years War with France, during which England won the great battles of Crecy, Poictiers and Agin- court, the King of France was brought as a prisoner to London and our King was sent to Paris and they crowned him King of France. All that was done, and there was no increase in our National Debt. It was borne by the land. (Hear, hear.) In the reign of Elizabeth, England was at war with Spain; probably the most powerful military country in the world at that time. The Great Armada was defeated. But there was no deficiency to meet afterwards. It was all done by the land. (Hear, hear.) But times have changed, and by degrees the landowners rid themselves of their military obligations and by unjust legisla- tion shifted the burden on to the industrial section of the community. For over two hundred years land has not paid its fair share of taxation. (Shame.) In 1845 Richard Cobden said: Great as I con- sider the fraud and injustice of the Corn Law, you will find as black a record against the landowners as in the Corn Law itself." Consider their record only as re- gards the enclosure of the common land. rom 1727 to 1815 no less than 1,566,411 acres of common lands were appropriated. True, they were only taken over under Acts of Parliament. But the legislature during that period was controlled by the landlord partv. ("Shame.) And all the time that this wholesale appropriation of land was going on they were shifting the burden of taxation, until in 1815 the same landed in- fceresits succeeded in taxing ithe whole of their fellow-subjects by the institution of Corn Laws and Protection. By the Corn Laws they raised their own rents and re- duced some of their fellow subjects to THE VERGE OF STARVATION. ("Shame.") Mr. Lloyd George's Budget represents an attempt to bring the land back to something like its original position as regards taxation. The Budget the House of Lords wanted was one that would put the burdens on the poor. We claim-and rightly cl.Lim-t-bat the taxation of land values does not violate that great principle of taxation, equalirty of sacrifice. Now a word or two on another canon of taxation. That taxation should be economical. (a) That it should be inexpensive in collec- tion and (b) that it should retard as little as nossible the growth of wealth. The oppon- ents of Mr. Lloyd George's Budget have attempted to make omt a case against the Land Taxes because the Chancellor of the attempted to make oUlt a case against the Land Taxes because the Chancellor of the Exchequer was spending f2,000,000 in ob- "-< taining a new valuation of the land, and yet he only expects to receive £ 500,000. The first answer to that argument is this, (that i,f Mr. Lloyd George has invested £ 2,000,000 of money which will return him £ 500,000 a year, which is 25 per cent., he has done very well for us. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) Hut it is not what the tax immediately realises we must consider, but what it will do in the future. (Hear, hear.) rr. Sydney Webb, the great economist who is leading that great crusade against destitu- tion, estimates that the value of land in London alone increases at the rate of £ 5,000,000 per annum. If the Exchequer can obtain 20 per cent. on some portion of that additional value the original outlay on the valuation will have proved a very economical method in the long run. (Hear, hear.) But how does Tariff Reform compare in this matter of cost of collection? It is estimated by competent authorities that a 10 per cent. duty on manufactured articles would at the very least double the existing charges of the custom's service. That service costs about £ 1,000,00 per annum, so that Z2,000,000 would be spent every year. Here again we find Tariff Re- form opposed to sound economic principles. The next point is that taxes should retard as little as possible the growth of wealth. The best answer I can give is to ask you to read that portion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech in East London last Monday, where he compares the conditions of trade when the Budget was introduced with present conditions. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, let me say I believe that great as our own nation is, with its influence for good extending to every quarter of the globe its future is rich with promise of brighter days. In spite of the miserable efforts of Tariff Reformers, the Big Navy party and the Tory Press to belittle our country, and to exaggerate jealousies of other nations, I do not think there is a disposition on the part of any country to Jnake '.auarrel-s with us. What is wanted is for those in high places to recognise their responsibilities to the people of the homeland, and if they will do that our country will be a happier pace to live in both for the peer and the peasant. (Applause.) Mr. R. Thomson, J.P., opened what proved an animated and informing discus- sion. Taxation, he said, were not an evil in itself, but a means to an end the ques- tion was whether the money thus raised was misused or put to the very best use. The self-styled Tariff Reformers, he said, were not entitled to that name at all; they were merely Tariff Imposers who wanted to re- impose those taxes which had been done away with, because while in operation they had proved shackles of industry. (Hear. hear.) The great evil of indirect taxation was that it weighed heaviest on the very poorest people, the class least able to bear it, and lightest upon the rich. Mr. J. T. Taylor, who declared that there ought to be no taxes except those on luxuries, went ,)n to show that the land clauses of the Budget were the best tiling that could have happened for THE BUILDING TRADE of this country. Mr. T. Roberts (Secretary) dealt with the Navy Scare, and argued that rates and taxes, instead of being levied on shops and houses, should be placed on the sites of those buildings. Mr. E. Jackson said that if the present proposals of the Tory Party in regard to the House of Lords and Protection were ever carried they would lead to a gre-at revolution in this country. Other speakers were Mr. S. C. Foulkesr the Chairman, Mr. Dowell and Mr. Jopson. and the lecturer made a most interesting xepljy on the points raised during 'the debate.

Mr. Lloyd George Chosen. EXPECTED VISIT TO CARNARVON BOROUGHS. A meeting of the Carnarvon Boroughs Liberal Association was held at Carnatvon on Tuesday afternoon, the Rev John Owen, president of the Association, presiding. There was a large and enthusiastic attendance of delegates from each of the constituent boroughs. The President observed that there was a good deal of dissatisfaction that a contest had been forced upon them, and many of them thought it was a shame in view of Mr Lloyd George's great services (Hear, hear). He remembered that when Mr Lloyd George was first adopted as their candidate some were opposed to him. But subsequent elections proved him to be a necessity to the Boroughs, and still later he was found to be a necessity to Parliament and even to the Cabinet— (applatise)-an(i he would not he surprised to find that Mr Lloyd George had become an international necessity, especially in the matter of the reduction of armaments He therefore had great pleasure in proposing that Mr Lloyd George be adopted as the Liberal candidate for the Carnarvon Boroughs. (Cheers). Mr J. R. Prichard seconded the proposal. He, like the President, thought it was a great pity that a contest should have been forced upon them and upon Mr Lloyd George, especially in view of his great s< rvices to the country. But the contest had been forced on the Boroughs against the wishes of the people on the other side, who would have to bear the brunt and the burden of the work, and he thought they could not enter that contest in good heart as they did last January. The Conservatives themselves in fact thought Mr t Lloyd George would get a bigger majority than ever. But they must not take that for granted, but must work hard to make that anticipation a fact. (Hear, hear). The resolution was carried with cheers. On the motion of Mr Pentir Williams, seconded by Mr J. P. Griffith, and supported by Dr Parry and several others, the following resolution wasu nanimously adopted That this meeting of the Carnarvon Boroughs Liberal Association recognises the incalcu- lable services of Mr Lloyd George to the cause of democracy, and expresses its un- abated loyalty to him and confidence in him, in face of the continued and unjustified attacks made upon his honour and integrity, and pledges itself to secure his return to Parliament with a crushing' majority." Mr J. R. Prichard expressed the hope, strongly endorsed by the meeting that in the interests of fwace and "oed ordeir-lbe count- ing of the votes should take place on the same day as the polling. MEETING ARRANGEMENTS. At Carnarvon the Conservatives have secured the use of the Guild Hall for the purpose of holding a public meeting each night next week, The Liberals started upon their meetings in the same town on Wednes- day evening, when Mr William Jones Wat; among the speakers.
