C, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 30, 9u9 NO. 7 NOTHING NEW British Budget Disappoints Radicals HARDER ON OLD VICTIMS LLOYD GEORGE COLLAPSES AFTER LONG SPEECH MADE IN PRESENTATION—TAXES ON INCOME OF ALL KIND8 GREATLY INCREA8ED. LONDON, April 29—With a deficit of nearly $80,000,000 to provide for it was anticipated that David Lloyd- George, chancellor of the exchequer, In Introducing the budget ln the house of commons thiB afternoon would make new sources of revenue. The chancellor,'however, haa nothing heroic to propose and the additional expenditure will be met largely by Increased drafts on the same sources that heretofore have furnished the bulk of the revenue There has been no such crushing in the house of commons for (many years as there waB today. Every nook and corner and even the gangways were packed when the chancellor arose to make his three hours* speech. Mr. Lloyd-George paid early attention to the navy. He said that to the increased expenditure on the navy and the old age pensions, the deficit was largely due, A considerable increase in naval expenditures was to be expected eMy next year, ias in the present state of mind In Europe it would be stupendous folly to refuse adequately to provide tor defense. Mr. Lloyd-George proposed to pro-l vide the necessary additional revenue as follows: By reducing the amount placed In the sinking fund by £3,000,- 000 and by a revision of the income tax and estate duties. The tax on unearned Incomes will be Increased 2d., to Ib. 2d. in the pound, and the tax on earned incomes over £2000 will be raised to ls. Persona earning under £500 a year are granted a special new abatement of 10d. for every child under 16 years of age. On Incomes exceeding £5000 yearly there ls to be a tax of Gd. in the pound. Prom tha income tax there will he £10,000X00, while the super tax is expected to bring a full year's revenue of £2,300,000. But the income from this source is estimated for the current year at only £500,000. Add an extra £1,400,000 for the alterations in tbe stamp duties Including the Increase from 10s., the present rate, to 20s. per cent on the transfers and sales of property including 'the methods of disposing of property usually adopted with the object of escaping the death duties. There is a similar Increase In the rate for the transfer of "bearer" securities except colonial and government issues, while the stamp dutle3 on the transferring of other stocks antf shares are raised to sums varying from 6d. to 2s. Two shillings will be charged for a transfer of an aggregate value hetween £500 and £1000 while 2s. more are added for every additional £1000. The liquor licenses are increased and from this source It is estimated that the additional revenue will amount to £2,600,000. Another proposal is to tax land values and mineral royalties. It Is estimated that these will yield this year £830,000, and increase annually. Tea and sugar re-, main unchanged. The increase in the duties on spirits with a customs excise of 45d, per gallon, ls expected to produce additional revenues of £!,<- 600,000. It ia proposed also to increase the duty on manufactures from 3s. to 3s. gd. a pound and to make an equivalent addition to the duties on cigars, cigarettes and manufactured tobacco. Together these sources are expected to yield a total revenue of £1,900,000 a year. The minimum and maximum rates remain unchanged but there will be an Increase ln the Intervening scale, estimated to yield an additional revenue of £2,500,000. It Ib calculated that a revision of the legacy and succession duties will produce an additional revenue of £370,000. Another process of Increase In the sliding scale of the stamp duties on share transactions calculated to yield an extra £1,400,000. Accumulated wealth and "the trade" which the liquor business Is popularly called ln the Liberal government's budget which David Lloyd George, chancellor of the exchequer, presented In the House of Commons today, are made to hear the burden of the £15,- 762,000 deficit of the fiscal year Incurred by the old age pensions and tbe race with Germany for Dreadnoughts. "Socialism and confiscation" the wealthy calsses are already crying, and a few are clutching at the hope tbat the House of Lords which represents these classes may throw out the budget en- i tlrely, but this la Improbable. The Increased Income tax, death, state and legacies duties, a tax of 20d. on future increases In the value of lands due to the enterprise of the roads, and stamp taxes on sales of property are the principal levies upon wealth. The government gets Its revenue for the rejection recently by the lords of Its licensing bill, by Increasing the taxes on some classes of public houaes . and the customs excise duties on spirits. A tax of 3d, on the pound on sales of liquors also is Imposed and this is likely to antagonize both the liquor interests and the worklngmen. On the other hand, the latter are placated by provisions made for labor exchanged for the unemployed expenditures for afforestation and the promise of an industrial scheme as well as the satlsfatcion of knowing that the rich are to carry the greater share of tbe load. It bears heavily on corporations. The only features affecting the United States are the increase in the tobacco duties, a tax of 3d. per gallon on petroleum and heavier stamp duties on stock transaction. The first comments of the members of both parties Indicated astonishment at the number and tbe sweeping nature of the changes In the ountry's financial system. "The maddest budget ever introduced," Sir Frederick George Bamburg termed It during the course of a speech In which he declared that the new budget included every fad on the face of the earth. Austin Chamberlain denounced it for imposing so large a proportion of tbe nation's burdens on a few people, by direct evidences. John Redmond, leader of the Irish party, asserted that the whiskey tax Imposed another burden on Ireland which the Nationalists would resist by every means. The increase in the tax on tobacco would be a cruel hardship to the poor of Ireland. The delivery of the budget speech was marked by an unprecedented incident. After speaking for three hours, the chancellor of the exchequer showed evident signs of exhaustion, but plucklly declined premier Asquith's whispered suggestion that he take a rest. Soon afterwards, however, his voice growing continually weaker the chancellor was obliged to ask the indulgence of the bouse, which adjourned for half an hour. On resuming bis speech Mr. Lloyd-George showed decided improvement but when he fin lshed he sank Into his seat greatly overcome by the unusual strain. FIGHT F08_FREE PULP AMERICAN PAPER MANUFACTURERS OPPOSE TARIFF CHARGE CORRUPT ATTEMPT TO APPROACH CANADIAN WORKS WASHINGTON, April 29—John Norrls, chairman ot the committee of the American newspaper publishers' association, has written a letter to Senator Aldrich Informing him that his name and that of Senator Frye of Maine have been used ln an effort to corrupt the employees of the Laurentlde paper company of Canada, and to secure affidavits about the cost of making news print paper In Canadian mills.

LONDON, April 29—The West India committee in circulars says it is very strange ■that the Canadian government should accept representations that a combination exists among West Indian refineries, without the fullest inquiry. It declares that there is nWi the slightest vestige of truth In the statement and tha there Is keen competition between sellers of sugar in regard to sales to Canada. The morning Post regrets that Mir. Fielding should have based a partial withdrawal of the preference on sugar upon an allegation which the slightest inquiry here or in the West Indies would have shown to be baseless but lt says Canada is perfectly within her rights in thus giving another warning that preference cannot last without reciprocity.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after boarding the vessel be sprained his ankle, nnd on the Princess May's unexpected return, he decided, because of his injury, to transfer to the Charmer and go to his home in Victoria. Accompanied by friends he was walking along the dock from the Princess May to the Charm-er- when he uttered a groan and sank to the ground. He was taken to the baggage room but before medical aid could reach him he expired.

The extensions which are planned in the suburban districts are two in number. For the terminus of the main line in the city both the triangle at the intersection of Seventh avenue and Westminster avenue and the Westminster road, and the intersection of the Ninth avenue east line, and the Westminster road have been considered. It is probable, however, that the latter point will be chosen. From this terminus the line will go along Westminster road and tlie north arm road, which will run along the latter to the southern boundary of district lot 301 at Twenty-fifth avenue. Concerning tbe lines mentioned, Mr. Sperling stated this morning that orders had already been issued for tho plans and specifications covering the necessary work and as soon as these were prepared tenders would be called for actual construction, and the task rushed to completion so that the line would be in service at the earliest possible date. The lines which are planned as above noted are about two miles ln length, and wtth the existing line to the cemetery, will bring almost every part of the suburban district in close touch with the city.

OTTAWA, April 29—Moving in the senate for a return of correspondence between the minister of militia and Crowe regarding1 the admission of Newfoundland into confederation, sir MacktenzHe iBowell said sir Robert Bond apparently had changed his mind since sIt Mackenzie was premier, for the demands then were exorbitant. Sir Mackenzie favored the union and quoted sir Fred Borden as saying be would be glad to make tho correspondence public. On motion of sir Richard Cartwright the order was changed to address and passed. Senators Davis and Douglas moved an amendment to the third reading of the Manitoba & Northwestern railway bill to force the construction of ten miles from Sheho this year as a guarantee of good faith. They pointed out that It was incorporated in 1888 and minimum construction was reduced from 50 to 20 miles annually and numerous extensions and favors were granted, though the company had not fulfilled even that condition on any occasion. The C.P.R. recently sold $50,000,000 of Biock but was only spending $18,000,000 In Canada. Senator Watson opposed, since ten miles would not give relief. The Canadian faclflc had shown good faith in building from .Yorkton almost to Saskatoon and they had no monopoly over the route suggested On division the amendment carried 26 to 22. In the commons it. was agreed to commence morning sessions on Monday. Resuming the debate on the G.T.P. loan, Martin Burrell, Yale-Cariboo, declared that the Panama and Eric, canal parallels suggested by Hon. Mr. Graham as Instances of under estimates, were unfortunate as both were permeated with graft. Declaring that Hays had outwitted Sir Wilfrid Laurier at every turn, Mr. Burrell said tho advantages gained at first had been lost, in the amended contract. Ho also said tnat there was every reason to believe that the decision to aid thn OT.P. was a result of the contract understood if not. arranged before the election, and concluded: "If the loan must, go through the company should he called upon to give some definite- security. E. A. Lancaster said G.T.P. legislation was generous tn the point of charity. If the company was unable to- build on tho contract It made then the work should be built by the commission for the company. Mr. Foster was told in committee that $7,000,000 would go fo repay tho G.TP. and according to tho engineer's report the remaining $.1,000,000 would complete tho prairie section. Progress was reported and other government bills were taken up, Thursday was a day of prngprss on the debate on the second readlne of the G.T.P. loan bill. It was concluded by 1 o'clock and th*? house went Into committee on details of the measure. Rome headway had been made bv 6 o'clock when progress was reported as It was impossible for Mr. Fielding to he present In the evening owing to an engagement. After reces good headway was made with a number of government measures Mr. Olivers bill -to amend the immigration bill got a second reading.

Bates, of nurks Falls, snys :— " Parents should know how powerful Zam-Buk is as a healer of skin diseasesand eruptions. My three children were all broken out oa face, hands, and feet. Their condition was pitiable, and although I tried various ointments and salves, they did not seem to do any good, I heard of a few instances in which Zam-Buk had done great good when other things had failed, so gave it a trial. Within i a very short tine it cleared the Bores from my little ones, although those sores had defied everything 1 had hitherto tried." Miss S. G. Hamilton, of AUiston (Ont.), says;—"For a long time I suffered from spots, which broke finally into open sores. My face and hands became covered with these sorest, and they were so painful, as well as unsightly, that I hardly knew which way to turn for relief. Whenever I put wnter nearthem they smarted and burned just forall the f world a? if I had been scalded, Zam-Uuk was recommended tome, and the first few application!; did so much good that I continued with its use. I am glad to say thatafew weeks' treatment resulted in a perfect cure."

BANK 01 MONTREAL Canada Is keplng pace with other countries ln the matter of flying machines. Mr. J. A. D. McCurdy, son ol a well known resident of Victoria, B.C. has, he anmmoces, along with other members of the Canadian Experimental society, Invented one that Is In every way a success. A recent dispatch satd that another Victoria man ls working on plans which he also says are proving successful and the same claim ls put forward by a Winnipeg man. Whatever the success of the experiments of the second Victoria man and Winnipeg man may be the fact remains that Mr. McCurdy and his associates have achieved success and have a machine which will navigate the air without difficulty. The experiments which led to Mr. McCurdy's success were conducted at Baddeck, N. S., during the past winter under the auspices of the Canadian Experimental society which was organized by Dr. Alexander Graham Belt, the Canadian inventor of the telephone After several trials success rewarded Mr. McCurdy's efforts and today he has a machine with which he can travel through the air at will. This machine which Its Inventor has christened the Silver Dart, is described by him as an aerodrome, not an aeroplane. Ho thoroughly satisfied is Mr. McCurdy with his invention that he is now engaged in floating a company to manufacture aerodromes, which he expects to sell to the Canadian government, or failing lt to any government willing to buy them for military purposes. Any private individual who wants one for pleasure will, of course, also be accommodated. The manufacture of flying machines has, therefore, been placed on a commercial basis in Canada. So far Mr. McCurdy and his company have a monopoly of the business . Should, however, the experiments now in progress in Victoria and Winnipeg prove successful this monopoly will be broken and the government, as well as tne public at large, will have a choice In Canadian made flying machines. THE CANADIAN MILITIA military force were the empire "wounded to death." While the United States in carrying out the Monroe doctrine j might prevent any nation, European or I Asiatic, from obtaining a foothold in Canada, might not the United States Itself through time become apprehensive of a strong young Canadian nation growing up beside her and might not trouble be looked for from that quarter. It is, therefore, the Star thinks, In Caanda's own interests tbat Bhe should build up a military organization that would be strong enough to render material assistance to the empire ln time of need. In the course of Its second article, the Star strongly attacks the present state of efficiency of the Canadian militia, asking whether there Is not "more 'fuss and feathers' and less fighting force than we would like" ln it. As a first step toward reform in the service the Star says the retirement of Sir Frederick Borden from the head of the department of militia aud defence is necessary. This, it Bays, is required If confidence in the department Is to be restored. All that The Star says about the necessity for Canada maintaining an efficient fighting force and also all that lt says about the necessity for reform ln the militia department Is quite within the mark. It Is generally recognized from one end of Canada to the other that Sir Frederick has failed signally ln the management of the militia department and, in keeping him at the head of lt, Sir Wilfrid Laurier Is only adding to the difficulties that will some day face the minister of militia who undertakes to put the department on a proper footing.

Although flying machines are to be manufactured ln Canada, no one In Nelson has yet thought of putting in an order for one. Now that the flying machines are to be built In Canada, lt will be in order for the government to provide the manufacturers with tariff protection. Mr. Martin Burrell's view that, if the country is to loan the Grand Trunk Pacific ten million dollars, It should have security for the return of the money ls a most reasonable one. It Is almost certain, however, that the government will refuse to entertain it. 3 1 0 1 E 4 4 At Detroit—Detroit-St. Louis game postponed, rain.

Tlte Montreal Star, which cannot be accused of being a partisan sheet, is leading an attack on the -administration of the Dominion department or militia and defence und what it has said in a couple of recent articles Is worthy of careful attention By the people of Canada. In these articles it has pointed to the absolute necessity, not only from an Imperial but also from a purely Canadian standpoint, of an efficient military service ln this country. This, it contends, the country does not now enjoy, although it Is paying the price for one. As an evidence that results are not being secured for the expenditure on the Canadian militia, the Star points to the fact that Switzerland for an expenditure of seven and a half million dollars trains 280,000 men every year, while Canada for six and three quarter million dollars trains only 09,000 men. The reasons for this disparity ls put down by the Star as compulsory training ln Switzerland, a more careful administration of affairs by the Swiss and the fact that the Swiss have had more than once to defend their independence and have thus learned the absolute necessity for a strong defence force. Switzerland, lt ls also pointed out, lies In the midst of an armed continent and Canada, if she were in the same position, would see the necessity of doing as that country does ln the matter of maintaining a fighting force. The Star, however, believes that In this respcet Canadians are living ln a fool's paradise. It says that Canada's safety depends upon the safety of tlie empire. An enemy camped around London would be aa dangerous to Canada aa an army camped around Ottawa Going further lt pictures what would be Canada's position with IU present It now transpires that of the $10,000,- 000 which the government is to lend the Grand Trunk Pacific railway company $7,000,000 is to go direct into the coffers of the Grand Trunk Hallway company and three millions of it is to be expended on the construction of the prairie section of the new line. Isn't the government generous to those who stand by it ln times of election? O A L *n*m_st«>■«_""fr"*-"*>* l*"'<"""'1' lhe Kootenay Ice & Fuel\^_________ The people of Winnipeg are evidently in earnest in regard to the holding of a world's fair ln that city in 1912 and are taking steps to Impress the people of the west with this idea. Ar* range men ts are now being made to send delegations throughout the west Uo secure the co-operation of the various public bodies. The promoters certainly show enterprise and energy and deserve success. The Dominion government tries to excuse Its miscalculation of the cost of the Grand Trunk Pacific by saying taht the cost of tbe Panama and canals has largely exceeded the original estimates. It may be pointed out, however, that there Is a difference between canal building in those days and modern railway construction. In connection with both of these works, also, It was pointed out ln parliament by Mr. Martin Burrell yesterday, there was the grossest boodllng. Has the samo. cause anything to do with the Increase ln the cost of the Grand Trunk Pacific?

Cove's most recent baule was with young Jimmy Butler at Calgary whom he beat in four rounds. Cove fought Billy Lauder in the Albertan city, and though he gave away 29 pounds, he more than held his own. He was offiM-ed another match with Lauder, but tlie little Scot refused lo weigh in under 138 ringside and as Cove can make 110 pounds ringside they could not get together. Cove wants Lauder to go in at 135 pounds. Cove started up the pugilistic ladder in this city several years ago and he has climbed last. He held his own against all the eastern boys of his weight when he was down east recently and now that he has cleaned up all the feathers In the northwest he intends to look for more laurels down Frisco way. Attell is the man he Is after. Cove thinks he can he the champion and is willing to bet a litle of his own money. He put up a forfeit to fight Attell once hefore, but Abe passed hlni hy. Cove Is just so good that he can never get a bout at his own weight. He always has to match up with somebody pounds heavier than himself. "There is no boy my weight in America who can heat me," said Cove today, "and I bar none. I want to get on with Abe Attell, for I honestly believe I cau beat him."

West played hockey with Qu'Appelle lust winter and is in good shape for the field. Gorman and Shea of the Otawa Capitals will also wear the red and white. Murton of the Tecumsehs is almost a sure thing for the team, but has not stated definitely his intentions. Warwick of Toronto has definitely decided to be here, and is a fixture that will add greatly to the strength of the team. Lacrosse enthusiasts of this city are confident of the boys success, and every effort is being taken to go after the mug strong, and in the proper way.

Tbe reasons given are the cold weather and the declaration of the strike by the miners. Nelson, however, was fortunate fnas- .much as at the time of the slopping of work the coal agents had their bunkers tilled to their greatest capacity and in several cases were paying demurrage on loaded cars." At the present moment the stock is naturally depleted but there is still suf- llc'ent coal In the hands of the merchants and public to make a serious famine unlikely when It Is considered that the warm season of the year Is fust approaching and also that during the summer months it is the genera', custom to use wood in preference to the harder fuel. Coal retailers throughout the city state emphatically that there will be no rise In either the price of coal or wood. Of the latter fuel there Is un ample supply on h and, MONTREAL SCANDAL Corrupt Collusion of Council and Saloon Keepers MONTREAL, April 29.—Today's session of the civic Investigation was devoted to the further Investigation of the dismissal of charges made against saloon men of violating tho law oTTpuyment of the costs secured, the dismissal "being ordered by I chief of police Campeau by whom the i charges were laid.
