Attest:
ED. O. CASSIDY,
Secretary,
patch from Washington says:
" 'Speaker Cannon never was strong
er before tho thinking peoploof tho
country than ho 1b today.' This
statement was mado at tho White
Houso today by Representative Bou
toll of Illinois, who had called to seo
tho president and was asked about
tho situation in congress. 'I knew
two men, continued Mr. Boutel,,
'who had entertained feelings of ani
mosity toward Abraham Lincoln,
who, in after years told me that they
would willingly cut off their right
arms if they could blot out what they
had said against him. It will be tho
same way with a lot of people who
now see fit to say things about tho
speaker,' "
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, has
settled the controversy as to whether
a line officer or a medical officer shall
be placed in command of the hospital
ship Solace by designating Surgeon
George Pickrell, of tho medical corps,
to command tho vessel. The navi
gation of the ship will be in charge
of a merchant sailing master. In
reaching this decision, Secretary
Meyer adhered to the policy of the
Roosevelt administration which
stirred up much criticism from line
.officers.
IjLOYD GEORGE'S SPEECH
Following are extracts from the
speech delivered at New Castle by
Lloyd George, the British chancellor.
These extracts are taken as printed
in the Manchester Guardian of Oc
tober 11:
Landlords have no nationality.
Their characteristics are cosmopoli
tan. (Laughter.) This case was
given me tho other day from York
shire of all places In the world, as it
illustrates practically every, tax which
I propose in my budget. If you can
stand It I will tell you this story
("go on"), and as I have it on the
authority of the managing director
of the concern well, he is respon
sible. It is the story of a district
in Yorkshire which four or five years
ago was purely agricultural, really
agricultural, receiving half Its rates
as agricultural land from your taxes
and mine. (Hear, hear.) There was
not a village within four miles of It,
not an industry, not a factory, not
a coal mine; and some very enter
prising mining investors came along
and said: "We think there's coal
here." They went to the landlord
and said "Will you allow us to dig
for coal here?" and he said, "For a
consideration, of course." (Laugh
ter.) "Quite a trifle, only six-pence;"
and he said "Certainly' So he al
lowed them to do it. He said, "I
will only charge you sfxpence a ton
on all the coal that comes up." They
said, "What about the surface?"
"Oh, certainly, i will sell you any
surface land you want for the pur
pose for a consideration." "Well,
what do you want?" they said. "You
are receiving now 15s. 6d. an acre.
What will you want from us?"
"Well," he said, "4 an acre." Then
they said to him, "We must bring
workmen here, and as there are no
cottages we shall have to build them,
and we propose building a model vil
age," said these mining investors,
and they have built ono of the most
beautiful model villages in tho king-
?.?S!;i (Hcar;,hoar- And they said,
Will you allow us to build a few
cottagos?" "Certainly," ho said. "I
shall want a small return (laughter)
6 or 10 an acre." Quito moder
ate, and I am not holding him un
to pillory him. This landlord is!
really a most moderate landlord. The
"i"a was at ir,B- 6d., and ho charcea
iu. well, that la only elghteon
times tho valuo of tho land. I can
give you cases where landlords have
charged 30, 40, even 100 times tho
value of tho land. This man has
been most moderate only 18 times
its value. Then ho said to them,
There is tho fish pond rather near
your model village. I don't think it
will bo worth much afterwards,
whatever it's worth now, so I think
J?5iha.d,Hetl.or tnk0 lt' Thy aa,i.
All right, it will bo rather good
sport to fish either for trout or tad
poles" (laughter), and ho said, "I
am getting 1 pound for it now I
will let you have it for elghteon
guineas a year, cheap." (Laughter.)
They started. They spent half a
million without knowing what would
happen. It was a real speculation, a
tea risk. They took it oh, specu
lated half a million, discovered tho
coal, and tho landowner Is getting
royalties now at tho rate of nearly
20,000 per annum. Ho is getting,
ln addition to tho 4 per annum for
every acre of land on tho surfaco
used by th0 colliery, C to 10 per
annum per aero for all tho cottages.
Then ho charges 4 per annum for
tipping rubbish and 10 per annum
for workmen's oottages, and ho is
making a good thing out of it mak
ing a very good thing out of it.
(Laughter.) Now, recently, as they
are prospering and getting moro and
more coal, in a very short time they
will bo paying 40,000 per annum
ror mis land ror tho royalties alone,
tho landlord never having spout a
penny upon it.
Now where does my budget como
in? (Laughter.) It comes in rather
late, I admit. It ought to havo come
in in one of tho earlier chapters;
still It comes In roon enough to givo
the story a happy ending (Laughter.)
When tho 40,000 royalty comes, 5
per cent for the first time will como
to tho stato. ("Hear, hear," and a
voice, "Too little." Tho land out
side, tho land which Is nominally
agricultural land, but which Is really
now valuable building land, will pay
a halfpenny in the pound. When it
is sold we will get 20 per cent on the
increase (hear, hear) and when tho
landlord passes away to another
sphere (laughter) we shall then get
tho dead rent (loud laughter) 20 per
cent on tho increase. More than
that, we have had another little pro
vision. Wo have considered his case
thoroughly. (Laughter.) When
these cottaces fall In and hl heir
comes and walks in for the 'whole
of this beautiful model village this
model landlord of a model village
the state will then under this budget
say, "Very well; if you really must
take all that property I think we
had better get a toll of 10 per cent
off It." At any rate we shall be able
to do something for the people who
llvo in these cottages. Wo have got
another little provision. Ho has only
leased one seam of coal. They havo
discovered, I think four seams. Somo
day the other three seams will prob
ably bo leased, and then the 5 per
cent only applies to existing col
lieries, but we have got a special pro
vision for futuro collieries (laugh
ter), we shall then ask him not
5 per cent of the royalty but 20 per
cent. (Loud cheers.) Where is tho
injustice there? (Cries of "None.")
t nnrroo with vnii. fLauirhter.l I
have been listening to criticism for
five months, and they coma not point
out a single injustice in it; they
simply scolded at large.
