/ Congress have been such rs to make
effective review impossible.
THE present legal declarations as
TO estimates are based on the theory
that there IS no need to take stock
before passing on appropriation that
it is not necessary to review treasury
resources. Congress has directed each
executive Office to submit an estimate
through the secretary of the treasury
who IS made to serve in the capacity
Of an official messenger without any
discretion whatever unless a depart
ment head may fail to prepare a re-
quest for appropriations in the form
prescribed by Congress- in which
event the secretary of the treasury
has imposed upon him the duty to
submit an estimate for him
Congress has created certain COM
mittees ON appropriations, who alone
have power To review and revise re-
quests of department heads. Even in
it's own organization. however. Con-
grcss has failed to make provision for
considering expenditures and esti-
mates for appropriations in relation to
revenues.
AutnUflty Is granted lot the eS :
penditure of thousand million doll
lars each year without any thought
as to where the money is coming
from This is done on the theory that
there will be no deficit-Congress has
been doing what has been called
Surf lHs financing While the con-
stitution makes Congress responsible
for morey raising as we'll as for ap-
propriafions, responsibility for bor-
rowing has been shifted to the Pres

loans to meet deficits in case a deficit
may result
"The great question of national ex-

of the races. We're the Baby show and
the pulling horses. Owing To restrie
tions on the ages of babies the num-
ber shown was small but they repre-
sented the pride of the town and were
all very cute and cunning. The
sweepstakes for the pulling horses
was the chief attraction in that line
and WAS wen by the team of Charles

his drive just before the three-quarter

second and third heats was given
much applause. Lady Wilkes made a
