BUDGET BULI/S- EYES.
BUDGET BULI/S- EYES. (FROM THE BUDGET LEAGUE.) For the past tonight the Opposition have been end to save themselves from a watery grave by clinging to a beer barrel. But there is no sign at present- that they will succeed in their hopes. Whatever the country may have thought of last year's Licensing Bill, they are clearly of opinion that the licence duties proposed this year are just and moderate in their in- cidence. The only fault of these duties is that they are over due. What we are witnessing in the House of Commons, where Mr. B/lfour is thumping the barrel every night with the hope of pro- ducing an echo, is a repetition of the argu- ment that went on over the land clauses, All through, this fortnight there has been one sustained effort to ring the changes be- tween the big man and the little man, just as they rang the changes between the big landlord and the little landlord during the land debates. The argument is quite sim- ple. The first stage is to scold the Govern- ment for being too severe on the little man. "Very well," reply the Government, "then we will let the little man off lightly! The second stage is to f>ay, "Ah! but how un- fair on the big iiiz-,ii! And so they fall back on their own true love the Big Lrewer." Well, we wish to he as just to the big I man as to the little man. But the big man in this case is just a little bit of a bully. These big brewing companies have been get- ting back their profits all the summer by raising the price on the consumer. They have raised the price before they have paid the duty, which they will not begin to pay until the end of September. And now they I want to escape paying their duty. But it is a little too late. The public have paid their scot and lot" in the increased price of | beer and spirits, and, therefore, they have little sympathy wi;h the big brewing com- panies who wish to escape from their share. That is the truth of the matter. Bui the big brewers wish to have it every way First ihey passed it on to the public in increased prices. There they over- reached themselves a little, as they did in their speculations in "tied houses" ten years ago. Then their next step is to go to the House of Commons with tears in their eyes and to complain of their misfortunes. "You are crushing us!" they say. They 111 11 y entirely forgot to mention that they have y passed every ounce of pressure, multiplied many times, over to the great consuming public. I Even if the great brewing companies have lost over the transaction, it is difficult to feel very sympathetic. The instinctive feeling towards them is that towards a bully who has tried to thrash another boy and received instead an unexpected thrash- I iIlg himself. Mr. Asauith's conspicuous patience rnd forbearance has really taken all the sting out of these fierce attacks. With calm logic he has shown the hollowness of their tem- pers and alarms. He has proved that the new licensing duties are justly and equit- ably graduated to the breadth of the back that will have to bear them. They fall lightly on the small man, and the burden only gradually increases as the back be- comes broader. Is not that a fair principle of taxation? It is the principle that runs through the whole Budget. But the great objection of these gentle- men has been to valuation. That is where the brewer and the landlord really sym- pathise. Mention the word "valuation" and they both grow pale to the lips. And yet, every little shopkeeper and working- class freeholder has his house valued evety five years for rates and taxes. Why should the landlord and brewer go free? Why should they be so afraid of letting us know the value of their possessions? It really looks very suspicious.. But the peculiarity of the brewer is that he claims to have two valuations one for compensation and one for, licence duties. He wants to have the compensation valua- tion—on which he is paid-very high, and the duty valuation-on which he pays— very low. Where the Government has really pained the great brewers is in the proposal that they have made in regard to the higher licences — that the licence shall be based on the compensation valuation. The tiling is done very lightly, it is combined with a large concession reducing the duty on the bigger houses. But the very idea that they should pay and receive on the same valuation has caused the brewers great fury. And yet does it not seem a very just proposal? We are not astonished, therefore, that the idea of defeating the Budget through the licensing duties seems to be rather weakening. At the beginning of this week, I' there was a decided chill on the subject throughout the Opposition ranks. There seemed to be no response in the country. It must have been decidedly discouraging to find that a week of barrel-thumping in the House of Commons ended up with some of the most enthusiastic Budget meetings that have yet been held in the country. There was Mr. Winston Churchill's speech at Leicester, Mr. Birrell's at Manchester, and Lord Crewe's at Leamington-a trio of magnificent demonstrations. The result of these demonstrations, in- deed, is that the Enthusiasts for the inter- vention of the House of Lords seem to be rather weakening. One energetic Sunday paper now stands almost alone. The Spec- tator shivers on the brink. The Spectator Would have the House of Lords throw out the Budget as long as the words" Tariff. Reform were not mentioned in the subse- quent General Election. That sounds likely, does it not? "Nature abhors a vacuum," and the Britishi P^FE|I»C shair" that prejudice with nature. While these kid-gloved gentry are hesi- tating to enter into the scrimmage, the Times issues another of its cold-water lead- ing articles on the whole subject of the I House of Lords. The Times, indeed, now gives away the case. The leaders of the Opposition in the Hotiie of Lords," we are told, must agree that the rejection of the Budget would be a departure from con- stitutional custom and usage." That is an interesting admission for the constitutional party; it would be a fine situation for the Tory Party to go to the country as enemies of the Constitution! I "These leaders," so the Times goes on to tell us, cannot but look upon the possible | consequences of rejection with anxiety. These are certain to be serious, and they may be grave beyond calculation." That is a nice sort of spirit to enter upon a revolu- tion with, is it not ? Why, the gunpowder j seems to be oozing out at the heels of their boots before they have come near the battle- field We do not think that there is much danger arising from that kind of opposition. ii:;# 2>
IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
IMPERIAL DEFENCE. COLONIAL NAVIES. In the House of Commons on Thursday a statement was read of the results of the Im- perial Defence Confeience, which was held re- cently. First as to military defence the Conference decided that the military forces of the Dominions should be standardised, the forma- tion of units, the arrangements for transport, the pattern of weapons, and so forth, being as far as possible assimilated to those recently worked out by the British Army, so that they would be made readily practicable in case of need for the defence of the Empire as a whole. With regard to Naval Defence it was stated I that New Zealand preferred to adhere to her present policy of contribution. Canada and Australia preferred to lay the foundations of fleets of their own. The personnel should be trained and disciplined under regulations similar to those of the Royal Navy, so that there might be interchange and union between the British and Dominion services. The generous offers, first of New Zealand and then of the Commonwealth Government, to con- tribute a battleship had been accepted, with the substitution of cruisers of the new Indomitable type instead of a battleship. One of these ships would be placed on the China Station and the 'I other on the Australian Station. As regards Australia, the suggested arrange- ment was that with some temporary assistance from Imperial funds the Commonwealth Government should provide and maintain the Australian unit of the Pacific Fleet. The contribution of the New Zealand Govern- ment would be applied to the maintenance of the China unit. As regarded Canada, it was proposed that she should make a start with cruisers of the Bristol class, and destroyers of the River class. The Canadian Government wotdd undertake the maintenance of the dockyards at Halifax and Esquimault, and the Commonwealth Govern- ment would eventually undertake the main- tenance of dockyards at Sydney. Mr. Asquith remarked that none of the agree- ments arrived at by the delegates would have any binding force until they were submitted to their respective Parliaments, and in the case of the South African delegates they did not feel in a position to submit proposals for naval or I military defence, or approve of any proposal arrived at by the Conference, until the union i of S( .th Africa was accomplished. <

If a piece of old felt or carpet is tacked on the knifeboard it will be found to give knives a most brilliant polish without the scratched appearance they have when cleaned on the rough board or leather. To clean lacquered brass fenders, bed- steads, etc., rub with a little ordinary furni- ture polish on a soft piece of rag, and then polish with a flannel or old piece of leather. This makes the brass look just like new, and does not in the very slightest degree hurt the lacquer like ordinary cleaning does. For waxing floors or tables, get a quarter- pound of beeswax (the unbleached will do) and have ready a piece of carpet a quarter of a yard square, lined with a piece of cloth and padded. Hold the wax before the fire and as it melts coat the cloth well with it, and while yet warm apply briskly to the floor or table. A good method of using sour milk is to strain it, when it is quite thick, into a small muslin bag; tie a piece of string round the top, and hang it in the air, but in the shade, to drip. At the end of three or four days, or more, according to the quantity of milk used, an uncommonly dainty cheese will have been produced, with no effort. For fear it might rain it should be kept under shelter. To clean hairbrushes, put half a teaspoon- ful 01 liquid ammonia in a quart of cold water, and let the bristles of the brush soak in it for a few moments. Tltke care that the back of the brush does not become wet. Hair brushes should never be washed in hot water, as it causes the bristles to become soft. Many householders and members of fami- lies are troubled with corns on the feet. A splendid remedy is to cut a thin piece of bacon fat and put it on the corn, then take a small piece of lint and soak it in turpentine, then place that on top of the bacon fat. Repeat this for ten days or a fortnight and the corn will be entirely eaten away.

FLAVOURING ESSENCES. Flavouring essences, which are so costly to buy, can be easily made at home. One of the most useful is ginger essence, which can be made as follows: Place one ounce of freshly grated ginger and a teaspoonful of finely- chopped lemon-peel into a bottle, and pour over them half a pint of best brandy, or rectified spirit of wine. Shake the bottle daily for ten days, and then filter off the clear essence through chemical filtering paper, or double white blotting paper. A few drops of the essence are sufficient to im- part a strong flavour. The bottle must be tightly corked when it is not in use. MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS. Mothers, in their fondness for their daughters, often err grievously. Why will not mothers know that to invite and possess the confidence of their daughters is to secure them from evil? Never make them afraid to tell you anything; never make them ashamed of the natural desire to have atten- tion from the other sex. Admit the liking of it as belonging to youth-to your past youth —but at the same time enforce the judicious timing of it; and, above all, encourage a frank avowal of, and sympathy with, their youthful preferences. The exchange of con- fidences on this point only strengthens the bond of love between mother and daughter. FOOD AND DIGESTION. A comparative study of tables compiled on l dietetic subjects is full of surprises to the uninitiated. It is not generally known, for example, that raw cabbage requires only an hour and a half to digestion, while the same vegetable boiled takes four hours and a half, 'and ranks, consequently, as one of the slowest to digest among foods. Raw sweet apples, soused pigs' feet, fresh trout, boiled 1 rice, venison steak, fresh salmon, are all de- j sirable foods from a digestive point of view. Roasted pork ranks highest on the other | side, taking five hours and a quarter for assimilation, and competing with it closely in the same way are roasted wild duck, boiled pork, fried beefsteak, and, what it I surprising, vegetable soup. In food values, ¡ too, statistics dispel many carefully cherished notions. Oysters and milk, to I illustrate, are credited with, respectively, only 12 and 13 per cent. of nutriment, while I raw oils lead the list with 95 per eent. » — AVOID FRICTION. { An excellent rule for every family is to ftfoid friction, no matter how petty the ( qiiftrtelling may be. Not only will they be nappletf but the respective members will probably find that the absence of home I worry means giieeess. If more families would recognise the golden rule of never quarrel- ling antone' themselves,• they would soon find i how greatly they benefited.- Too often it is the women folk, actuated by motives of petty spite or jealousy, wh& quarrel amongst themselves, and so lay the foundation of j family strife. Therefore, cultfcate the arts of the peacemaker.
