EXECUTIVE ECONOMY.
Does IL Make a shift of the Con-
stftutfOnaI Baiancef

From the PIttsburg Dispatch.
The announcement that President Taft
has laid down for his administration the
rule Of cooperation between the depart
ments TO reduce expenditures and esti-
mates and TO bring about a responsible
relationship between the expenditures
and the revenues" will be welcome to
the plain people. It is the overlooking
Of that cOmmOn-Sense economy that has
been the greatest weakness OF our gov
eminent Of late years.
The mucb-needed change 20 an older
fashion is also remarkable In its shift
from the original theory Of representa-
tive government. That theory, developed
as royalty began to call on the people to
pay taxation for the governments sup
port, was that as the people yield the
support their representatives should have
the exclusive right 10 authorize. and.
therefore. TO place. a limit on taxation
and expenditure The purpose was TO
maintain through the representative
branch a check on royal lavishness or
the waste OF public funds on royal favor
ties. The principle Of the people holding
the purse strings is the foundation OF all
constitutional power. It was the crucial
issue between Parliament and Charles I,
and was the leverage by which republi-
canism overthrow the Bourbon monarchy.
Il was copied IN our constitutional enact
ments that taxing and expenditure meas
ures must originate in the Lower House.
and that no public money can be ex-
pended except by authority Of an appro-
priation.
But in this century, with a growth OF
popular government hardly dreamed OF
in those days. we find the function
shifted The popular chamber hardly
listens to even theOretic professions Of
economy. This devOlves on the admins
tration the necessity OF caring for that
principle. The present proposition is for
observing Il in the estimates OF the com
ms fiscal years. But that I; can be car
-ied to a more effective degree is MANI

tUtional requirement for any administra-
ton 10 spend all the money appropriated

Army Families and Their Troubles.

Some Of the army people, especially
the wives OF officers. are agitating the
question Of building apartment houses. in
stead OF independent quarters. as the resi-
denCes OF families OF commissioned or
GERS at army posts. The appeal appears
TO be based. according to the letter writ
ten by one officers wife, upon the diff
Guilty in keeping servants and the number
Of household duties in conducting an es-
Enlistment in a separate building. The
government is expanding a large sum
every year in the construction Of quar-
tiers. and some Of these buildings cost as
much as $4,000 each. being admirably
constructed. splendidly equipped resi-
dences. which. by the way. are now fitted
with window shades. screens. and heavy
furniture. 1t is proposed that there shall
be apartment houses, with the privilege
Of patronizing a general mess. TO be es-
tablished for officers families. after the
manner OF the mess for bachelor officers.
One correspondent suggests that this be
placed in the general charge Of the com
missary officer, with a steward and a
cook enlisted for that place: and It is
added. "all families in the garrison would
hardly be taking meals at the mess at
one time. but the probabilities are there
would always be enough TO make 1t worth
while"
Most people who are outside OF the
military service have entertained the idea
that the government takes pretty good
care Of army officers and their families
To abandon the separate quarters and
build apartment houses and establish a
general family mess would be a rather
expensive operation at this late day, al
though there may very well be civilian
appreciation Of the desire for some gov
ernmental system which viii solve for
army officers wives the perpIexIng prob
lem OF servant hire. The army has Jared
pretty well at the hands Of Congress. and
it would seem to be wise II people OF the
service refrained from asking special
privileges. merely on the ground that the
army family encounters the same din
oulties and is involved in the same trou-
bles which make, life more or less inter
esting for the family whose head is in
civil life.

Living on Small Incomes.

The narrow margin between distress
and comfort in material necessities of
life is shown in the most recent inquiry
into the cost of maintaining 4 family in
New York City. In a report Just made
by Prot. Robert c. Chaplin. of Beloit
College. based on an exhaustive series OF
Investigations into budgets Of certain
classes Of the populatIon-not the very
poor, but those earning from $500 to 81 10o
a year-it is asserted that $500 is not
enough to maintain family of husband
wife. and four children as they should
be maintained That sum VIII barely SUD-
ply the physical wants Of a family Of six
leaving practically nothing for the higher
needs Of comfortable living. Even Of
families enjoying this income, the ma
1ority live in three rooms or less. Nearly
half the entire wage goes for food. and
the average expenditure for clothing for
the whole family is 500 OF less. A con-
siderable percentage Of members Of FAM
lies with incomes upward of $500 are
UNDERGRAD. More than half of those with
the lower incomes are insufhciently
clothed. while Of those with incomes be-
low $500 three-quarters are UNDERGRAD. and
even some Of those having incomes of
Sloo fall within this category. Twenty
seven per cent OF all expenditures goes
for rent
The report does not corroborate the
theory that oyerpopulation. improvidence.
extravaganza, and vice are the causes Of
inability TO live within incomes OF $500
TO $500 a year. 1t finds that wages re-
eeived and prices paid for necessities are
