Resolutions read a second time.

First Resolution.

MR. DALZIEL (Kirkcaldy Burghs) moved the omission of the word "tobacco" from the first line of the Resolution. He said that his object was to enter a protest against the continuance of war taxation in time of peace. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of giving any satisfactory explanation, had assumed that, peace expenditure might in some cases be more than even war expenditure, whereas during the war the taxpayers were consoled by the promise that when the war was over the extra taxes would be removed.

Amendment proposed— In line I. to leave out the word 'tobacco." —(Mr. Dalziel.)

Question proposed, "That, the word 'tobacco' stand part of the said Resolution."

MR. FLYNN (Cork County, N.)

pointed out that in a little over half a century the taxation of the country had increased from £53,000,000 to £142,000,000. and as this burden pressed with especial hardship upon Ireland, he heartily supported the Amendment. Ireland paid at present more than 76 per cent, of indirect taxation, and she protested against a burden which could be necessitated only by the urgency of war or by a policy of extravagant expenditure.

MR. WHITLEY (Halifax)

desired to add his protest against the continuance of war taxation in time of peace. He thought it was the duty of the House to vote against all these duties until a return to economy was promised. As he did not anticipate any such return during the existence of the present Government, he conceived it to be the duty of all who hoped for a return to a reasonable rate of expenditure to take every opportunity of voting against the proposals of the

Government until they took the judgment of the country upon the manner in which they had used the power obtained under false pretences three or four years ago.

Second Resolution.

MR. BROADHURST (Leicester) moved to leave out the words "beer and" in the first line. His object was not so much to remove the tax on beer as to point out another way in which the revenue could he obtained. He thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer could easily have found a more direct way of raising this branch of the revenue than by continuing the tax in this form. He would humbly suggest to the right hon. Gentleman that he should raise this special revenue by means of a higher tax on the beer sold in tied houses. At the present moment the supply of intoxicating drinks to the public was a monopoly granted to certain people by the law of the land. A large number of these people added to that monopoly, by a scheme of their own, another monopoly. Under the conditions of the tied-house system the licencees were only allowed to supply one particular class of beer brewed by a particular brewer. Here was a double monopoly protected by the law which, he thought, ought not to exist.

* MR. SPEAKER

said the hon. Member was proposing a new tax. That could not be done on the Report stage of the Resolution.

MR. BROADHURST

said his only object was that they should have a different tax on beer supplied to tied houses, which formed a double monopoly, from that which was supplied to free houses.

* MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Gentleman is entirely out of order.

MR. BROADHURST

said he could see the point the Speaker had made, but he thought he had mentioned the direction in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer should go to make good the deficiency which would be caused by striking out these words. At any rate the House would see what he would do if he were the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He begged to move that in line 1 of the second Resolution the words "beer and" be left out.

Amendment proposed— In line 1, to leave out the words 'beer and.'"—(Mr. Broadhurst.)

Question proposed, "That the words 'beer and' stand part of the said Resolution."

MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)

said that under ordinary circumstances he would not oppose a tax on beer; but he considered that the present circumstances were extraordinary, and he fell back on the old constitutional doctrine that when they thoroughly distrusted the Government, when they held that the country had protested against the Government's retention of office in every way it possibly could, when the Government came forward with a fiscal policy—and they did not know whether some great intrigue was going on at the present moment to evade bringing that great fiscal policy before the country, in order to win over the country to it—then fie thought every constitutional means should be used to resist every tax the Government proposed.

MR. WHITLEY

said he was extremely glad his hon. friend had raised this question. He quite understood it was necessary to keep within the limits of the Speaker's ruling, and that it was not possible, on the Report of the Resolution, to discuss at any length a substitute for the proposals contained in the Resolutions; but he thought they were justified in saying that the Chancellor of the Exchequer might very well, instead of taking this curious readjustment of the tobacco duty, set his mind with more advantage to make a readjustment of the beer duties. At present the beer duties were all in favour of the big man, and against the small man. Year by year the small man and the free publican were being shut out, and the whole method of Excise and beer duty favoured the large brewing companies, who were continually increasing their grip upon the country. This was one of those instances where the Chancellor of the Exchequer might utilise an Excise duty in the interests of the community as a whole by removing this encouragement to monopoly. Within the last twenty years the free publican had been almost crushed out of the trade, and at present hardly 5 per cent, of free publicans remained. He was very grate-

AYES.

Allsopp, Hon. George Atkinson, Rt. Hn. John Bailey, James (Walworth)
Arnold-Forster, Rt. Hn. Hugh O. Aubrey-Fletcher, Rt Hn. Sir H. Bain, colonel James Robert

ful to the hon. Member for Leicester for having raised this question, and he hoped the House would give an emphatic support to the idea he had put forward.

MR. CORRIE GRANT (Warwickshire, Rugby)

said he wished to support the Amendment from an entirely different point of view to that taken by the hon. Member for Northampton. He never drank any beer himself, but his desire was to see a legitimate amount of taxation got from those who drank beer and those who brewed and sold it. He ventured to suggest that it would be possible for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to obtain more revenue by other methods than those which the right hon. Gentleman had put in force. It had been suggested that there should be a graduation of the tax so as to make it heavier than at present on those who purveyed the beer. That would be no hardship on them at all. The question of the differentiation of the tax between tied and free houses was not before the House for the first time; and he maintained that it was right to make such a distinction. The Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to be encouraged to carry out that suggestion.

MR. COURTENAY WARNER (Staffordshire, Lichfield)

said he quite agreed with his hon. friend the Member for Northampton that they ought to oppose all taxation proposed by the Government. At the same time he thought the suggestion thrown out by the hon. Member for Leicester had a great deal to commend it. He did not say that the hon. Member's actual plan was the right one. Another plan had been suggested by the hon. Member for Dundee. The tax on beer was not put on in the way it ought to be. Some protection ought to be given to the free publican, and the tax should be divided between the seller and the consumer to a greater extent than at the present moment.

Question put.
