London, Apr. 16:—Under Home Rule, the Irish legislature, it is said, will consist of the crown and two Houses sitting separate- ly. One, the Council, will have 48 members, 36 to be elected and 12 to be nominated by the crown. Their term of office will be eight years, The other, tne Assembly, will consist of 103 elected mem- bers and is to be dissolved every five years. The legislature will have no power to make laws affecting the crown, army, navy, territorials, treaties, titles, treason, natural- ization, coinage, copyrights, pat- ents, the post office (except in Ireland) or trade except within Treland. With regard to finance, for six years the customs and excise will continue under Imperial con- trol, All other taxes will be under Ivish control and Ireland will have power to impose ad- ditional taxes of her own. After six years the control of the customs and excise will pass into the hands of the Irish legis- lature, subject to approval by the Imperial parliament of this provision and subject to free trade between Britain and Ire- land. . ; The initial deficit in Irish revenue will be supplied by a ‘|grant in aid, diminishing annual- ly, and terminating in six years. The Dublin police will be un- der Irish control, The Royal Irish Constabulary will remain under Imperial control until a new force under the local authorities is established. For six years the Supreme Court judges will be appointed by the Imperial government, The Lord Lieutenant will be appointed for a fixed term of years.. With regard to safeguards, the Trish legislature wili have no power to make laws for the purpose of: ; 1, Establishing or endowing any religious creed or imposing disabilities or conferring privi- leges on account of religion as affecting the undenominational education of national schools and universities. 2, Impairing the validity of sithe marriage laws at present existing, 8. Depriving anyone of life, liberty or property without pro- eess of law in accordance with settled precedents or’ denying equal protection of laws or taking property without just compensa- tion, and 4, Imposing disabilities or con- ferring privileges on account of the birth, parentage or place or business, Ireland will send 70 members to Westminster, The Irish peers will remain as before, pending the reform of the House of Lords. The executive will consist of the crown, represented by the Lord Lieutenant; acting in Irish affairs with the advice of the Irish cabinet responsible to the Irish legislature. The power of restraint on the Irish legislature will be exercised as follows: 7 (A) Veto by the Lord Lieuten- ijant on instructions from the Imperial parliament; (B) The Imperial parliament can repeal an unjust tax; (C) The Privy Council can de- clare such an act void. The Ulster Guardian says the bill will satisfy both the Nation- alists and Irish Liberals, | According to an evening paper A} which quotes an unnamed Nation- alist member of parliament as authority, forty Irish members will be sent to the House’ of Commons at Westminster. Other provisions are: Ireland wil] make no direct contribution: i|to the Imperial revenue. - ‘The customs and excise of # Ireland will remain under imper- ~ lial eontvol, but the local partlia- ment will have the power to vary the duties on articles, although it may not vary the articles themselves. ; “The old age pensions -and land purchase schemes are to remain under Imperial control. The Irish Parliament will have no power to impose duty on British goods.”’ ; Proposed Audit Act It is expected that at the next seasion of the provincial legisla- ture, convened-for the 16th ‘of January, there willbe presented for consideration and adoption by parliament anew audit act, which was already drawn prior to the close of last session, although not soon enough to then be taken up and obtain that care to which its importance entitles it. The bill is understood to be framed much on the lines of the federal stature in the same con- nection, removing the audit wholly from legislation as to the administration of provincial rev- enues, The new provincial audit has been prepared with exceptional care to meet every special re- quirement of British Columbia conditions, assure full and cor- prehensive investigation of all}. public expenditures, and place complete details in relation uhere- to before the public annually asa matter of governmental routine, - Power Direct From Mines. Cambridge, Masg,, April 18;— The claims recently made by certain English scientists ag to the possibility of saving coal mining expense by turning the energy of the coal into electricity at the mines has the approval and support of Prof. Comfort A. Adams of Harvard, In a statement regarding the work of the proposed new elec- tric labaratory here, Prof. Adams gays that he believes that some day Boston, New York and other | cities will receive their electricity for heating, lighting and power by wire from the coal field. The installation of a million volt transformer in the Harvard laboratory will, it is believed, prove that such a scheme is/$™ The Harvard experts |3 hope to show that by using cur-|4 rent of 1,000,000 volts electricity |; feasible. may be economically carried dis- tances of 1,000 miles or more. Dr, Sun’s Propaganda London, April 16;—‘I have finished the political revolution and now will commence the greatest social revolution in the world’s history,”’ said Dr. Sun}; Yat Sen, the late president of China, in an interview at Shang- hai. . “The abdication of the Man- chus is the only means to greater development and the future policy of the republic will be in the direction of Socialism. . ‘Tam an ardent follower of. Henry George, whose ideas are practicable on the virgin soil of China as compared with theirim- practi¢ability in Europe or the United States, where money is controlled by the capitalists, Dr. Sun saidhe has the full consent of the government to start his propaganda immediately whereby the railroads, mines and similar industries would be controlled by the government, The single tax system and, as far as possible, free trade, will be adopted.
