TIIK NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS - JOURNAL , FRIDAY , DECEMBER 24 , 1909. ARE ENGLISH PEERS DOOMED ? HOW VERY EXISTENCE OF HOUSE OP LORDS IS MENACED. JEOPARDIZED DY BUDGET FIQHT What tho.Dudrjet Is and the Taxes That Caused the Trouble Extraor dinary Debate That Has Amazed the Nation Lords' Former Offenses. the British house of lords about 18 to be abolished or radically shorn of its power ? That Is thu larger question looming up behind the fight over thu hudgut In England. Thu warning of 1/ord Rosebery that the very existence of the Upper chamber la In jeopardy was not an Id In threat. It was glvun all the more force by the fact that Rosebory himself Is op- potted to thu budget. He would like to HOO It defeated , but questions cither the right or the policy of thu louls to bring about that dofent. litrrnnls the wtako as too groat. In dcstr-jylng the budget they destroy thumsclvus. Ho was ably Kocomlt'd by Lord Balfour - four of Burlolgh , who In plain English told the pours that If they won In their fight against the budgut thulr victory would bo but temporary , while If they lost the defeat would bo permanent. They would not only fall In killing the budget , but would end their own power. few attend the sessions of parliament. Most of them are never seen within the precincts of the house of lords. They are not only absentee landlords , but absentee legislators. The budget fight , however , brought practically all of them to London. They Hwarmed out of their castles as thu ratu swarm- cd out of llamclln town at the call of the Pled Piper. Hundreds of strange faces appeared In thu upper chamber thattnuvcr wore BPCII thcro before and perhaps never will bu again. It was the holders of special privilege rushIng - Ing to the defense when an attack on prlvllcgo wan threatened. Thu ensuing debate is one that will bo long remembered in England , ( hough tiot for Its brilliancy. It nmnzcd thu nation. To call It a schoolboy affair would bo to Insult the schools. One minister termed It babyish. Outside of a fete men like Rosobery and Unlfour , Lord Salisbury and the Earl of Crowe It displayed lack of grasp , brcnd'th ' and statesmanlike qualities. It was sclllsh , personal , sordid. It was the whine of a spoiled boy. When not petulant It was deadly dull. It was an attempt at argument by men unfamiliar with In tellectual habits. Yet the spectacle had Its educational value. It showed to the British people their so called nobil ity In Us truolight. It stripped off the glamour of name and tradition. At the disillusionment thu people at first gasp ed and then laughed. The Feet of Clay. That debate doomed the house of lords If not next yt > ar. then In the near future. It revealed these peers of the realm as selllsh and allied to the worst elements In the kingdom. It showed thorn to be not only common clay , but as beneath the average In In- telllirence and morality. Today English- NOTABLE PARTICIPANTS IN ENGLISH BUDGET FIGHT HOUSE ! OF LORDS , SCENE OF THE DEBATE. In adopting Lord Lansdowne's mo tion to reject the budget pending an appeal to the nation It is contended that the peers are guilty of n twofold usurpation of power one against the commons and the other against the king. Since 1 ( > S8 the exclusive control of financial matters has been in the house of commons. For the lords now to assume the right to reject u finan cial measure is the first act of usurpa tion. Lord Lansdowne's motion re quires n dissolution of parliament. The right to dissolve parliament , how ever , belongs to the crown. This is the second act of usurpation. The Day of Settlement. The rejection of the budget is not the first offense of the lorOs. Several other reform measures proposed by the present government and passed by the commons have met their death In the upper chamber , just as Gladstone's home rule bill was killed a few years ngo. All these things Inue been al lowed to accumulate against the day of wrath. They have not been forgot ten. They were kept In abeyance only to be presented as different counts in the Indictment when the people of England came to pass judgment on their house of peers. Has the day of settlement finally come ? The British budget Is the omnibus financial measure of each year , con taining the taxation and revenue pro visions. The present one , over which all this fight 1ms been raised , Is de nounced as socialistic , but the defini tion is not accurate. The budget is more in line with Henry George's sin gle tax , which Is quite another thing from socialism. The single tax , or a modified form of It known as the land tax , * has already been adopted lu portions tions of the British empire , notably in New Zealand and Australia. This measure would put It In force In Eng land , Scotland and Ireland. The tax Is laid with especial emphasis on the "unearned Increment" that Is , the value which Is put Into the land by the community and not by the owner. For example , a man owns a farm near which or on which springs up a city. Because of the city the laud Increases Immensely in value , although the in dividual owner has contributed noth ing to that Increase. It is made wholly by , the community. This Is the un earned Increment , and on such social value accruing In future the budget lays Its Impost. There are other pro visions in kind ; also a considerable tax on liquor. It Is the laud tax and liquor tar that have caused the trouble. Lords and Liquor Interests. In Great Britain the laiid Is largely owned by the lords , and It now Iran spires that these scions of nobility are financially Interested In the liquor concerns. Between the two they get It both ways. They are being hit lu , the pocketbook , and that Is the reason they are usurping a power that no British house of lords has dared assume sumo lu more than 200 years. Dnro they assume It ? This momentous question la now to be answered by the electors of England , Scotland and Ire land. There are more than 000 peers In the three realms , but ordinarily only a men are gathering by the thousand and cheering for the budget and David Lloyd-George , Its author , the Welsh schoolteacher who rose to be chancel lor of the exchequer. They are singIng - Ing as the French sang the "Marseil laise" more than a century ago , and the burden of their song Is that the laud is for the people. Lloyd-George and Winston Churchill are ridiculing the dukes with a sarcasm that is spreading n grin over the three na tions. It reminds one of the days when Thomas Paine wrote his "Rights of Man" in defense of the principles of the French revolution , In which he scored the aristocracy In words that ring yet. Paine has been dead a cen tury , but the truths he voiced are the most living things in England. HUNTING TRIP IN AIRSHIP. Latham Carried His Gun There and Bag of Game on His Return. Hubert Latham performed a sensa tional feat lu his monoplane the other day. He was invited by the Marquis de Pollgnac. president of the commit tee on aviation , to Join in a bunt at Berru , near Rhelms , France. Latham went thither from bis aviation garage at Mourmelon , a distance of about nineteen miles , In his Antoinette mon oplane In just half an hour. Ho took a double barreled shotgun and a sup ply of ammunition with him in the aeroplane. Ho landed nt the Marquis de Poll- gnac's shooting box , breakfasted with the party , took part In the hunt and flew back to Mourmelon four hours later carrying on the monoplane not only the shotgun , but also the bag of game mostly pheasants , which ho had killed Great interest in the feat was shown by the hunting party. The members of It were watching for Latham , ant the monoplane was made out while 1 was still far away. It appeared verj small when first scon , but rapidly grow larger and soon was above the heads of the huntsmen. Latham made two circles before ho chose a landing place and then came down easily and landei without the slightest trouble. It was almost sunset when bo started on bis return journey.

HIS PEN PICTURE OF A GIRAFFE Former President Writes Story of His Hunting Trip Tells How Wounded Bull Rhino , Maddened by First Bul let , Almost Reached Hunter. thu December Serlbner's ex- IN President Theodore Roosevelt in his article on "African Game Trails" tells how it feels to Imvu i big rhinoceros charging on one with lothlng between 6ne and certain death nit a rltle. Describing how ho killed the rhinoceros with two shots , he says : "Tho huge beast was standing In en- Iroly open country , although there were a few scattered trees of no great Hlze at some little distance from him. Wo loft our horses In a dip of the ground and began the approach. 1 cannot say that we stalked him , for thu approach was too easy. The wind blow from him to us , and a rhino's sight Is dull. Thirty yards from where lie stood was a bush four or live foot lilgh , and , though It was so thin that we could distinctly see him through the leaves , It shielded us from the vision of his small , plgllke eyes as we advanced toward It , stooping and In single tile. I leading. The big beast stood like an uncouth statue , his hide black In the sunlight. Ho seemed what ho was a monster surviving over from the world's past , from the days when the beasts of the prime ran riot in their strength , before man grew stunted. Llko the rhinoceros , the ordi nary or prehensile lipped rhinoceros the giraffe Is a browsing and not a grazing animal. The leaves , buds and twigs of the mimosas or thorn trues form Its customary food. Its extraor dinary height enables It to bring Into play to the best possible advantage Its notuworthy powers of vision , and no animal Is harder to approach unseen. Again and again 1 have made It out a mile off , or , rather , have seen It a mile off when It was pointed out to me , and , looking at It through my glasses , would see that It was gazing steadily nt us. Looks Awkward Even at Rest. "It Is a striking looking animal and handsome in Its way , but Its length of leg and neck and sloping back make It appear awkward even at rest. When alarmed It may go off at a long swingIng - Ing pace or tailk , but if really fright ened it strikes into a peculiar galloper or canter. The tall Is.cocked and twist ed , and the huge hind legs are thrown forward well to the outside of the fore logs. The movements seem deliberate , and the giraffe does not appear to be going at n fast puce , but If It has any start a horse must gallop hard to over take it. When it starts on this gait the neck may he dropped forward nt a sharp angle with the straight Hue of the deep chest , and the big head Is thrust In advance. Giraffes are defense less things , and , though they may kick at a man who Incautiously comes with in reach , they are lu no way danger ous.

"Walking lightly and with every sense keyed up. we nt last readied the bush , and I pushed Jonvard the sufetj of the double huirclcd Holland rltle which I was now to use for the first time on big game. As I stepped to out side of the bush so as to got a clear aim , with Slattor following , the rhino saw me and jumped to his feet with the agility of it polo pony. As he rose I put In the right barrel , the bullet going < hrough both lungs. At the Hiunu moment he wheeled , the blood spouting from his nostrils , and gallop ed full on us. Before he could get quite all the way round in his head long rush to reach us 1 struck him with my left hand barrel , the bullet entering between thu neck and shoul der and piercing his heart. At the same instant Captain Stutter fired , his bullet entering the neck vertebrae. Plowing up the ground with horn and fecr , the great bull rhino , still head toward us , dropped just thirteen paces from where we stood. " Hard Animal to Approach. In the same article Mr. Roosevelt gives the following interesting picture of the ungainly giraffe as seen in the African wilds : "Of all the beasts In an African land scape none Is moro striking than the giraffe. Usually It Is found In small parties or In herds of fifteen or twenty or more individuals. Although It will drink regularly If occasion offers , it Is able to get along without water for months at a time and frequents by choice the dry plains or else the stretches of open forest where the treen an scattered aud ordinarily somewhat self to tbe governing board of the in ternational bureau of American repub lics , which has recommended that tno proposed interchange shall figure In the program of tbe fourth pan-Ameri can congress , to bo bold at Uueuos Aires next summer , and the director of the bureau of American republics has been Instructed accordingly.

SWIFT WORKON SKEES. _ Norwegian Shot Down a Mountain Side at a Two Mile a Minute Clip. Nels Larson , u Norwegian , gave n remarkable exhibition the other morn ing nt Caldwell of protlelency in thu usn of skees. He ran down tbe west-eru slope of Caldwell mountain to 1'lno Brook , N. J. . n distance of nearly four miles , In four and three-quarter min utes. The run was made lu thu suow crust and was timed by George Race and Harold Jones. Before sunrise the whole of noi th em New Jersey was covered with a stiff snow crust which would almost bear up a horse. Larson started from a point on the mountain brow Just tiouth of the Mouomonock Inn at 0:30 : o'clock. He arrived at the Pine iirook hotel at U:3 : > U5. For the first mile tbe descent was very steep , but the pest of the Journey was on almost level ground. Larson covered the-tlrst mile lu about half a minute. The impetus thus gained was sutllclent to carry him the second mile nearly as rapidly. The last two miles were made by ukating on the ekees. Commissioners' Proceedings.
