Only when the civil list comes up for readjustment by Parliament on the accession of a new sovereign, as it did in 1910, does the English press Pay much attention to the subject-- then there are protests from the So- cialists and even labor complains. As a matter of fact royalty, even at the cost of $3,000,000 a year, Is & 500d investment for the British na- tion. The sovereign owns property by inheritance the revenue from which, if administered as a business corporation, probably would be dou- ble that sum, the right to. which the sovereign surrenders on acéession in exchange for the civil list. Should royalty be abolished and no altera- tion be made in the rights of private property, the former sovereign would come into full possession of the In- herited property, and large sums from the civil 1jst would become bud- getary credits--#otably the items for expenses of the new Government, which could hardly eps than their present Majesties' pr purse, now £110,000 per annum, \and on which an income tax is paid In the civil list - rrapged in 1910 the direct stipend ed their ies as salaries and expenses, upkeep of and royal bounty, amounted to £470,000 annually. To. this was added the annual sum of £163,000 as "provision for other of the royal family," in- cluding the annuity to Queen Alexan- dria of £70,000. The total of £623, 000 since then has been augmented by £46,000, and a still further in- crease is in prospect when the Duke of York marries, in the following manner: The elvil list of 1910 being based on that of the late King Ed- ward VIL, no provision was made for Prince of i um, to bé increased to £30,000 }should she survive her husband. Just as the Prince of Wales re- ceives the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall, so his father receives those of the Duchy of Lancaster, which are only about £3,000 more thau those received from Cornwall, although the srdss receipts average annually: Lancaster, £115,000, and cornwall, £160,000. There is little loubt that a business-like adminis- ration of these estates removed from solitical influences, would greatly liminish the difference between the sross and the net receipts and nreas- urably add to the income of the .wn- ers if they were private persons. There is no possible doubt of their present legal ownership. The Duchy Jf Lancaster, with the estates there- «an, came to John of Gaunt in 1361 by his marriage *vith the heiress, and on the succession of his only son, Henry IV, in 1399, became merged in the crown. In the case of Corn- wall, that has been considered the aroperty of successive heirs apparent {rom 1337, when Edward III. creat- ed Cornwall a duchy for his son, Edward, the Black Prince, thus mak- ing him the first English duke. Parliament for ages has been nib- bling at the revenues of these two duchies, and it is likely that should royalty be abolished a serious gques- tion of ownership would come up. It would very likely be argued for the nation that the estates of the duchies had been held in fee royal and must, therefore, become the property of the nation on the passing of the royal {unctions of the owners. The same argument, however, could hardly be held in regard to the 'rown lands, the revenues of which ach sovereign surrenders to the na- By Juanita Hamel a 'BY.

But is that first flower any more beautiful--any more glorious or hope-inspiring than the girl wha--to the eyes ofone who loves her--seems the first flower of love and of the world? ; 2 uon on accession in exchange for the civil list. The title to these crown lands never has been disputed, but been emphasized throughout English history in various ways. Prior to the Norman Conquest the property of the sovereign was arrang- ed in three categories -- private estate; demesne, or property held by prerogative, and rights over the folk- land. After the Conquest the three became merged into the estate of the crows, which was successively in- creaged by confiscation, escheat, for- feiture, etc. This estate of the crown, uow known as crown lands, could legally be disposed of at will by the sovereign until the reign of William IIL. (1694-1702), whose wholesale disposals so impoverished royal real éstate that Parliament intervened and limited his leases to thirty years. In the next reign, that of Queen Ante, they were set at thirty-one years, or 'three lives." And ia her reign the revenues of the crown lands were fsckuned when "royal grants were made, JE BY SW SW SW - | | | res seen a Wr | =: By Vera Winston. This Smart, /Top-coat gf Cinnamon.
