the tribune stou21e on thursday march 27 19o2 overseas writer discusses british budget by tieorsr alx11 of stouiitille you know all about the british budget of march 12th by now the london correaxrdents for the can press have filled columns of the big dailies with comments and conjecture as to what effect its provisions will have on the country but the whole thing boils down to what difference the change will make to pay pockets the price tickets on grocery shelves and whether the family budget will balance at the end of the week or not you hear all sorts of comment on the matter here some people think it was a good budget and others nold the opposite view to understand why there is this difference of rjpinion it is necess ary to realize that politically and financially there are now two separate groups of people in the british isles while it would be incorrect to say that everyone is either a socialist or conservative worker pr owner the results o the last three general elections have shown that nearly member of the adult iwpulation comes into one group or the other and there is little chance of them seeirip eve to eye on any point as their interests are too far apart its tue same bj in the days that oliver cromwell was having trouble with the royalists to make a short story long any budget item thai takes away any of the cherisheu privileges of the welfare state bungs screams of rage and grief irom the socialists increased raxes money or credit restrictions etc produce the same effect on the other half of the people as butler mixed i up fairly well this time they ail scream at once i but not quite as loud as was i expected for he did show a little rnercv u nearly every income group the bolt from the blue was aj reduction in income tax allow- j antes are increased and the rates lowered so that an additional two million wage earners will escape tax altogetner in addition there has been very substantia de creases in tax payable on overtime in an effort to provide incentive for increased coal and factory pro duction a lot of people are happy about this but the seven million workers who pay no income tax anyway because they dont make enough can see much to- be happy about the reison being that to make up for the taxes so lost the food subsidies have been slashed by a hundred and titty million jouncs a year bread is up a penny a loaf milk a penny a pint bacon a shilling a pound eggs a shilling a dozen to men tion a few changes in ood while the details of increxsed purchase tax on clothes and shoes are being worked out now bets take the case of a family whose two children play with ours the fathers wage is six pounds ten shillings a week and take home pay after national health deductions is just over six pounds or s1s00 this sum has to feed four people pay rent buy clothes coal electricity but 1 wont go on you all know the rest as he pays no income tax these changes are of no value and it really hurts when the butcher baker grocer milkman etc need extra money each week where will it cornel from when the family budget is already stretched to the snapping point aha says brother but ler we have not forgotten you mothers the family allowance is j to be increased from live to eight j shillings a week so that extra three bob will take care of thej increases there is no allowance i paid for the first child so wont that all be lovely for this lady hat happened is that dad has to make ten small cigarettes last two days and mom will he eating bread and margarine for her midday meal when she is alone lets take a look at another famllv at the other end of the c the husband is a fur cutter- in the london fur house that supplies the made up furs to thei koyai household he makes twenty live pounds a week of- which income tax takes nearly j eight he will be a pound a weeki better oif with the tax changes ami the only adverse point of thei 12th of march was another hike of 7 pence half penny a gallon on gasoline which was expected asl the motorist is always fair game for the tax gathered this nun along with most skillet artisans is happy about the whole thing and feels that rab is the finest little finance minister tlrit ever opened a brief case in the house- of commons on budget day well continue our little tour to a house about quarter of a mile away in a district where houses landscaped gardens ears in the

class retail shoe stores i according to him hes been betray- ed ids own class has decided to destroy him and the world is a very dark place indeed his good wifes moaning when the terms came out sounded like an air raid siren in the next block on a foggy night all this was because the bank rate task norm baker what it means 1 havent a clue mvselfi was raised from 2j to i and the banks are now
