PRESIDENT TAFT SUBMITS HIS
LAST MESSAGE TO CONGRESS UPON
BENEFITS OF BUDGET SYSTEM
CBy Associated Press)

Wy @ASNpNA&tNh AEtaNJ
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Presi.
dent Taft today sent to congress his
much discussed budget" message.
He recommends the adoption of a
budget system of relating proposed
expenditures to expected revenues
and declared that congress would be
greatly benefited by having before
it such statement before it 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-
quence it may be said to be with
out 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 full responsible
lity for the message upon himself.
Congress in the last sundry civil bill
directed the secretary of the treas
ury to submit estimates hereafter
in the old way. Mr.. Taft pointed out
however, that he had directed the
secretary of the treasury to agree
with the directions of congress and
also send to him information for a
budget message. He referred con
gress also To the portion of the con
stitution which requires him from
time to time to recommend such
measures as he shall deem necessary
and expedient
Some of the advantages Of the bud.
get system as pointed out by the
president were:
A means Of locating responsibility
for estimates in keeping with reve-
nues.
A means Of allowing congress to
see how much gross it win have to
spend before it begins appropriating

+ ernment machinery.

Ancestry of The RevoIver.-Since
the introduction Of gunpowder as
propellant and the general use Of fire.
arms in warfare and hunting, there
has been a more or less insistent de-
mand for mechanisms that would give
the soldier or hunter a number Of shots
at his command without reloading and
enable them to be rapidly discharged,
writes S. J. Fort in Outing. The first
patent for a firearm Of this descrip-
tion seems to have been issued by the
British patent Office in 1718, to James
Puckle, a citizen Of London, for gun
mounted upon a tripod, having a sin
gle barrel and revolving cylinder.
Strangely enough, one Of the claims set
forth in this patent appears almost
verbatim, 13O years later. in a patent
taken out by Rollin White, an Ameri-
can inventor of a revolving pistol. An
other curious claim of the patent was:
1.-The mechanism permits the use OF
square bullets against the Turk and
round bullets against the Christians;
moreover, so great Is the rapidity Of
fire that ships armed with the gun can
not be boarded by any attacking
force"
