THE MAKING OF THE TERRITORIALS.
LORD HALDANE ON KING EDWARD'S AID.
THE TEST OF WAR.
At a meeting, over which Lord Haldane presided, of the Royal Society of Litera ture, Lord Redesdale, who was a personal friend of the late King, read a paper entitled King Edward VII: AL Memory."
Lord Redesdale said that it was quite false to suppose that King Edward VIL took no interest in home politics. In Sin Sidney, Lee's article in the Dictionary of National Biography there was an allusion to the King's attitude towards Lord Haldane's scheme for a Territorial Army This was what actually took place. When Lord Haldane, then War Minister, had formulated his proposals, he took them! to the King, who studied them diligently with Lord Haldane's explanations, and having with his usual quickness seen the point, came to the conclusion that ther scheme should have a fair trial, and determined to give it his support. With this view he did what no other man, not

A part of this sum may have to be raised by increased calate duties and at least a third from the income-tax; indeed, the produce of that tax this year at the rates adumbrated by Mr. Lloyd George will approach 100 millions. In July last the Government were about to appoint a com- mittee to inquire into the whole system of Income-tax assessment and collection for the methods of a century age (our present income-tax Acts being casentially the same es those in fores during the Napoleonin signed treaties, Belgium has been sub-a distinguished general, being present, Wars) have been proring unequal to thejected to an infamy.

The Inland Revenue Department has to propare itself for the execution of great reforms in the administration of the tax and there are signs of preparations to that end. It is, indeed, fortunate that certain reforms in the staffing of the out door offices, the necessity for which has been often mentioned in our columns, were ordered by Parliament last year and are now in course of being carried out. The raising of the additional one-third income-tax imposed in Desember last has been accomplished without friction, though the numerous appeals in the city of London and elsewhere must have! severely tried the staff.
