PROVISIONS OF NEW
HOME RULE MEASURE

Synopsis of Bill for Ireland's
Self-Government Presented
In British Parliament.

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

prehensive investigation of all}.

- 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/$™

tances of 1,000 miles or more.

London, April 16;—‘I have

and now will commence the
greatest social revolution in the

world’s history,”’ said Dr. Sun};

China, in an interview at Shang-
hai. .

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.
