Considers Only His Own.

There is a tendency for each Secre-
tary to consider only the needs Of his
department, and usually the sum total
Of the estimates to be submitted is found
not by any consideration of the govern
ment's power to raise revenue: not by
any consideration Of the relative merits
of this departments demands as against
that departments's demands. but simply
by the opinion that the head OF each de-
partment has Of it's needs. and then q sum
in addition. and so I believe that one
of the reforms that should be had. and
that could be had. without in any way
would be to empower and direct the Sec
retary Of the Treasury to revise the es-
Inmates OF course. We cannot require
the President. We can simply do as We
did in this instance that !, speak OF, re-
ouire the Secretary to communicate to
the President that the President may in

Flying Horses, Shooting the Chutes
Young Soldiers.

Local and suburban troops of the Boy
Scouts of America joined yesterday In
an excursion to River View and a general
jollifcatiol was the rule of the day.
Headed by the drum corps of Peck
Chapel. the boys marched aboard the
steamer Queen Anne at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and until they returned at Q
o'clock in the evening the day was filled
with the spirits and pleasures of the kind
most attrao tive to young Americans.
If there was anything at River View
that the Scouts did not try. from the
flying horses" to walking up the shoot
the chute" it must have been something
Of microscopical insgnifcance. The
steamer Queen Anne formed a great field
for exploration. Not one accident occur
red to mar the pleasure of the day.
Upon arriving at their destination the
boys disembarked, divided into troops.
and went to places previously designated.
~ few tents were pitched. but were un-
used. except by a few children who ap-
propriated them after the boys went
away. All the camping places of the re-
spective troops were in the woods. Camp
fires were built and in a number of in
stances lunch was cooked.

No Power of Revision.

TT is unnecessary to state to you, gen.
tlemen. who are SO familiar with the sub
ject, that the estimates come from the
various members OF the cabinet-from the
Secretary Of War. Secretary Of the Navy,
the Postmaster General, the Department
of Justice. and so on. AS it is now.
there is no member Of the cabinet who
has any power Of revision over the esti-
mates that are submitted by other men,
bers Of the cabinet.
The Secretary Of the Treasury In this
regard Is simply no more than a clerk to
gather together and to present in book
form to the Congress these various es-
Inmates John Sherman. one Of the very
greatest of the Secretaries of the Treas
ury that this country ever had. under
took to get the power to supervise the
estimates of the other members OF the
cabinet But naturally every one OF the
other secretaries objected to having a
veto power given to any one else over the
budget that he presented. And SO the
matter failed.
But Congress could we'll afford to give
to one member OF the cabinet not only
the power. but to make it his duty. to
revise these estimates. And the reason
Of that would be this: You would then
compel a certain consideration by the ex-
ecutive department of the budgets as a
