With a view to greater expedition and
hence less disturbance in business condi-
tions incident to the enforcement Of the
pure food law, the secretary during the

optional importance.
in disbursements.
The secretary devotes considerable space
to the question of an economical disburse-
ment to current receipts and the classified
ton of both receipts and disbursements in
such a way as to facilitate such an adjust
ment. and suggests that 1t would perhaps
be competent to congress to vest In a joint
committee the power of revising the APP
preparation bills with a view to distribut-
ing reductions and increases in an equit-
able manner and also with a view to the
relative Importance of the object for which
appropriations are sought. 1t would seem
that such n committee should be charged
with the responsibility of keeping the ex.
penditures Of each year approximately
within the revenue of the year. or, II this
could not be done, that 1t should authorize
the issue of a proper amount Of short term
obligations TO bridge over the deficit of
lean years. By such a ommitte needless
and w~asteful expenditures might be

Suppose six horses entered in race. If some
should offer to bet that you could not tell the
exact order in which the six horses would cross the
tape, you would probably not care to take the bet
seventy-fve to one. Many would be willing to bet
under such conditions; but their chances to win
would be exceedingly small. Anyone of the six
horses might be first; anyone of the other five
might be second; of the other four anyone might
be third; there would be three choices for fourth
place, two for fifth, and for sixth. Now since
the possibilities would remain no matter how
started, it is easy to see that the total number
of arrangements must be 6x5x4x3x2xI 72o, so
that the bettor has exactly chance in 100 of
winning, provided he knows absolutely nothing
about the horses. If he takes odds of 100 to l. he
