INSCRIPTION ON U. S. SEAL
ANTEDATES GOVERNMENT
Latin Motto Handed Down From
Early Confederation Of
the Colonies.

The design of the seal Of the Treasury
of the United States, i'm all its essential
features, is older than the national gov
eminent. From the days of the confed-
Grafton of the colonies down through the
history of the republic. the Latin motto
on the seal has been THE Seal of the
Treasury Of North America"
These interesting facts have just been
developed by an investigation by the
Treasury Department tracing the history
of the seal. The Continental Congress
ordered it's construction September 26.
ITS. appointing John Witherspoon, Gov
Morris and r. H. Lee a committee on
design. There, is no record of the re-
port of the committee, but impressions
of the seal have been found as early
as 1882 The original seal was continued
in use until 1S49, when, worn out, 1t was
replaced by a new cut, made by Edward
stabler of Montgomery county. Nd
He was directed to make facsimile
of the old seal, but there are some neg
ueible differences. The symbols, how
ever. are the same. There are the thir-

Presidents Recommendations.

Presidents Recommendations.
The recommendation which I have
made is this. that in the preparation of
data for the budget you and the head
Of every other department shall clearly
indicate what changes in law are thought
to be desirable as means of increasing
the economy and efficiency of the serv
ice. What is desired is open-handed
dealings between the Congress and the
executive department, and in this the
public should be taken into our confidence
through the broadcast publicity that may
enSue.
IF Congress is permitted to assume
exclusive jurisdiction over what the
President may seek to learn about the
business transacted by the departments;
If Congress is to say that the President
shall not find out what is the present
manner Of doing business, what results
are being obtained, what it is that Of
ficerS for which he is responsible pro-
pose to do and what amounts are being
asked for future expenditure; If heads
of departments are to be considered
purely as the ministerial agents of Con-
gress in the preparation and submission
Of estimates, then as far as the business
of the government is concerned, the
President of the United States is shorn
of most important executive power and
duty.

TAFT DENIES CONGRESS
THE RIGHT TO DICTATE.
Directs Secretary Macveagh
to Adopt Budget System in
Making Estimates.

BEVERLY, Mass, September 90
President Taft last night made public a
letter to Secretary of the Treasury
Franklin MacVeagh. taking open issue
with Congress on the question of a fed
eral budget and directing all heads of
government departments or Independent
officers of the government to make their
estimates of revenue and expenditures for
the fiscal year in conformity with the
budget plan.
The Presidents letter to Mr.. MacVeagh
declared that the prohibition. in one of
the big supply bills passed by Congress
In the closing hours of the last session,
practically forbidding the use of a bud
get system, is unconstitutional. His let
ter to Mr.. MacVeagh reads, in part, as
follows:
IF the President is to assume respon-
sibility for either the manner in which
business of the government is transacted
or results obtained, it is evident that he
Information as that branch may think
sufficient for his purposes. In my opin-
ion, it is entirely competent for the Presi-
dent to submit to Congress and to the
country a statement of resources, obli-
cations, revenues, expenditures and esti-
mates, in the form he deems advisable,
and this power l propose to exercise.
Revenues and Resources.
1.-The United States is the only great
country that does not have budget. The
present legal directions as to estimates
are based on the theory that there Is no
need to take stock before passing on ap-
preparations; that it is not necessary to
consider revenues or treasury resources.
Congress has created certain commit
tees on appropriations who alone have
power to review and revise requests of
the department heads. Even in it's own
organization, however, Congress has fail
ed to make provision for considering eX-
penditures and estimates for appropria-
tions in relation to revenues.
Authority is granted for the expendi-
ture of 100000 each year without
any thought as to where the money Is
coming from. While the Constitution
makes Congress responsible for money
raising as we'll as for appropriations. re-
sponsibility for borrowing has been shift
ed to the President by empowering him to
procure loans to meet deficits in case a
deficit may result.
Il question the practical wisdom OF
continuing to operate the government
under 50 different statutes, passed at
ninety different times. which prescribe
200 different forms of preparing and sub
hitting financial data to Congress and
the public-data. which. when prepared

The letter received by Mr.. Warren ex-

Pretty Books Provided.

That's what they used to learn to read
on; but they have the prettiest books in
the world nowadays for the boys and
girls in the early grades. The colors are
bright, the pictures are the sort that will
make children want to be children in the
outdoors.
A T. Stuart, director of intermediate
education, who probably knows Washing
ton school children better than any one
else, said today that the one fear which
all parents seem to have when the pre-
cious ones start to school Is that so.-.e-
thing will happen to them on the streets.
II can remember only one accident to
a school child in thirty years." he said
today. Children have been going to
school and crossing car tracks here for
ever so long and nothing ever happens
to them. The children get used to it
very quickly, and when crowds of chill
dren go to school together they learn to
watch out for such things"
