 projected in a resolution to he pressed in the house at the coming session by Representative Sherley of Kentucky. the third ranking democrat of the house appropriations committee. Rep resertative Sherley's resolution con templates the erection of a budget committee of the house which shall have original jurisdiction over all the estimates of annual expenditures and shall aIlOt to the various appropriation committees of the house the amounts available for the various branches of the government service.
 Every effort will be made to have the measure operative at the advent Of the new democratic administration, MT Sherley said today. The resOlu- tiOn will run counter to the budget pro posals of President Taft which will be submitted to congress m short message just before the holidays. The president contemplates a general budget scheme, by which the estimates of the various departments will be submitted to the house in bulk. with . general statement ol the country financial condition. Chairman Henry of the rules committee is said to be in sympathy with the purposes of the Sherley resolution and it is believed that favorable action by committee on the resolution or along similar lines will be secured at the coming session.
 The resolution would create a com mittee consisting of a chairman from the ranking minority members of each house committee handling the apprOp- riation bills including the chairman of the ranking minority of members of the ways and means and chairman of the ranking minority of the members Cf the rules committee.
 While a democratic congressman planned the budget system at the cap ital, the president today spent two hours going over the estimates for the next fiscal year and planning a budget message which he will send with a sample budget statement to be pre- pared by the economy and efficiency commission.
