government.
District Government Criticised.

I'm the past, the government of the
District Of Columbia has been criticised.
even upon the floor of the House Of Rep
resentatives. and unjustly so. because of
the fact that the appropriation bin had
been so written that an appropriation
made apparently for one object included
many objects that were properly ciassi-
fled under ether functions of government.
with the result that the figures taken
therefrom were entirely erroneous. and
when used for comparative purposes un-
justly and falsely represented the objects
of comparison. 1t would seem wise on
this account alone, II that was the only
one. that a change should be made In
the classification OF the budget. for. IL
the lawmakers could not construe the
work of their hands. how can the tax
payers who are interested in the ex-
penditure OF their money determine what
application has been made thereon? II Is
believed that. when the budget OF this
government is intelligently arranged, pub
lie interest will be aroused in order that
il may be determined how the taxes and
other revenues of the government are
spent.
LAS j have stated, the business of the
District government is transacted under
that control which is derived from the
whole people of the United States.
through your representatives, are the ones
who will have the power to say whether
the municipal government OF the capital
of the United States shall have budget
framed upon logical business lines. Your
association has recommended for some
years past the principles contained in this
budget form, and you are likewise inter
ested in any and all movements for good
government. May / ask, therefore, where
could you secure a better opportunity, in
ciew of your individual responsibilities, or
where could you secure an example that
would have such widespread effect upon
the municipalities of the whole country,
i'm view of the national character of the
government of the District of Columbia.
than the opportunity here presented to
make a concentrated effort TO secure for
the District of Columbia a budget along
the lines which have been set out, and
which will, in view of the recommends
tions made, be considered by the Congress
OF the United States at its next session
beginning i'm December. 1900.

Change in Budgetary Form.

I'VE now come TO the change in form.
In order that the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia might have before
them a form upon which it was proposed
to draft the new budget, and that they
might consider the needs and require
ments of the government business, a
statement was prepared of the apprOpria-
lions for the fiscal years 1866 to 1910. in
elusive, and this statement was classified
and arranged upon the form of budget
proposed. The result of this analysis was
most satisfactory in that il gave COM
prehensive view of the entire business of
the government for a period of FIVE years,
and showed what group of appropriations
was receiving the greatest portion of the
revenue fund, and where the inequalities
in appropria tons existed. This statement
considered tn. whole appropriation for
the year as 100 per cent. and showed the
percentage received by each object con-
tanned in each grolp total
The District budget has been prepared
and submitted to Congress with the re-
quest for the passage of the new appro-
priation act in new form, of which the
grand divisions are as follows: ], gen.
eral government; >. protection of life and
property: 3. health and sanitation; 4.
highways; >, charities and corrections;
t. education; 4, recreation; s, miscelia-
neous: ., public service enterprises: 10,
interest and debt: IL, miscellaneous tenn
porary payments.
