HOME RULE.
BILL IN THE COMMONS. - FINANCIAL PROPOSALS. By Telegraph.—frejs Assn.**»Copyrigbt, Received Oct. 23, 5.5 p.m. London, Oct. 22. In the House of Cofiimons, in committee on the financial clauses in the Home Rule Bill, Sir Worthington Evans introduced a Ofovernment amendment authorising payments from the Consolidated Fund to the two Irish Parliaments. He said the scheme provided that Ireland should contribute £18,000,000 every two years towards Imperial services, namely, £10,080.000 from the southern Parliament and the remainder from the northern Parliament. A joint Exchequer Board could within the period reduce contributions and vary the proportions. The amount proposed was moderate, as Ireland's expenditure was £26,250,000, and revenue was anticipated to be £48,500,000.
Sir Donald Mac Lean (deputy Liberal Leader) characterised the proposal as farcical, and declared it should be dropped as regards southern Ireland. Sir Edward Carson, while he thought 'Ulster's contribution too high, said they were anxious to bear a full share of Imperial taxation, and would accept the Government proposal.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
