Associated PreSS.
Washington, Feb With the
prospect OF armed opposition to the
new provisional Mexican government
being reduced to n few small upris-
ings by followers of the late Presi-
dent Madero, it is the opinion of Of
ficials here that the chances for the
use of the military for the protection
OF Americans is greatly diminished.
The concentration of troops at GAL
weston will continue, but admittedly
the purpose now is principally to test
the working OF the army reorganiza-
tion.
General Carter, who is due to ar
rive in Galveston within "a hours,
will take advantage of the assembling
of the division to put the troops
through their PAGES and give the
brigade and regimental commanders
an opportunity to direct the move
ments of the large bodies of men that
would fall to their command in time
of war. If the complete division is
assembled within the present week,
the military experts feel that they
will have accomplished creditable
feat.
1t is true that the movement ap-
pears slow in comparison with the
mobilization of the allied armies in
the Balkans; but, as matter of fact,
such distances as from Fort ID. A.
Russell in Wyoming and Fort Smell
ing to Galveston would have greatly
taxed the resources of the best quar-
termaster's department in Europe.
On the whole, Secretary Stimson is
feeling proud of the records up to
this point. The entire mobilization
was set in motion by single order
to General Carter, whereas under the
old plan the adjutant generals de-
partment was obliged to send hum
dreds of kilograms to individual COM

Taft Offers
Budget Plan
to Congress

Associated Press.
Washington. Feb. 26.-President
Taft today sent to congress his much
discussed budget" message. lie
recommended the adoption OF a bud
get system of relating proposed eX-
pcnditures to expected revenues, and
declared that congress would be very
greatly benefited by having before IL
such a statement before IL began the
annual grind upon appropriation
bills. The United States. the presi-
dent wrote, was the only great ma
tion in the world which did not use
the budget system. and. in conse-
quencs, it may he said to be with
cut plan or program" He indicated
that. owing to the late day at which
he was able to transmit his message.
he expected little legislation on the
topic from the present congress.
The president took fun responsi-
bility for the message upon himself.
Congress in the last sundry civil bill
directed the secretary of the treasury
To submit estimates hereafter in the
old way Mr.. Taft pointed out, how
ever. that he had directed the secre-
tary of the treasury to agree with the
directions OF congress and also to
send to him information for budget
message. He referred congress also
TO the portion of the constitution that
requires him from time to time to
recommend such measures as he shat II
deem necessary and expedientg
SOME of the aJvar.f yes Of the bud
get system as pointed out by the
president were:
A means of locating responsibility
for. estimates in keeping with rcve-
nues.
A means of allowing congress to
see how much gross it will have to
spend before it begins appropriating
for each department or detail of the
government machinery.
Because 1t would furnish congress
and the public with ready reference
to reports and detailed records of
account. .MST
Because it would produce an ade-
quate organization for assembling
and classifying information to be
used in telling the country what has
been done and of the governments
future needs.

fined purpose in many bureaus hith-
erto organized but directed under an

In case a special election is called
for any purpose before November, the
matter will be submitted to the peo-
pie at that time.
The sentiment throughout the city
is highly favorable to the purchase
of the grounds for park purposes, and
unquestionably the proposition will
carry with heavy majority. The
price is considered a bargain by To-
cal real estate dealers, and is much
less than could have been secured if
sold for lots.
The Sentinel sincerely hopes that
a big majority of the people will sec
