Sends Much Discussed Message
to Congress Today.

TO PAY OFF NATIONAL DEBT.
Sinking Fund for This Purpose

and Work Suggested.

Washington, Feb. 26.-President Taft
today sent to congress his much dis
cussed budget message. He recon-
mended the adoption of budget sys-
tenn of relating proposed expenditures
to expected revenues and declared that
congress would be greatly benefited by
having before it such a statement be-
fore it began the annual grind upon
appropriation bills. The United States,
the president wrote. was the only great
nation in the world which did not use
the budget system and in consequence
1t may be said to be without 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 pres
ent congress.
The president took full responsibility
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 to send to him information
for a budget message. He referred
congress also to the portion of the con-
stitution which requires him from time
to time to recommend such measures
lent.
Some of the advantages of the bud
get system as pointed out by the pres
ident were:
A means of locating responsibility
for estimates in keeping with revenues,
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 government
machinery.
Plans to Reduce the Deficit.
To carry out the budget plan. to
reduce the deficit and the fixed
charges against the government the
president proposed:
TO create a sinking fund commits
sion to consist of the chairman of the
finance committee of the senate. the
chairman of the house. ways and
means committee, the attorney gen
eral and the secretary of the treasury,
with the comptroller of the treasury
as annual auditor of the sinking fund
account.
Legislation which would wipe out
the national debt in twenty years af-
ter July 1, 1914, congress should set
aside $45,000,O00 annually for that
purpose. That would be $15,000,0 900
a year less than the present amount
required by law. That fund should be
invested in 8 per cent. government
bonds and in 20 years the $1,160,000,-
600 debt, the president says, would
be paid.
The adoption of a definite theory
is recommended for future propos
ais for internal improvements so that
such improvements would be in ac-

JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
Bill to Change Them Up in the House
Today.

That bill by the judicial reappor-
tionment committee providing for the
adjustment of eight of the thirty-four
judicial districts of the state and for
a general shaking up in nearly all of
the remaining districts, came up for
consideration in the house this after
noon as a special order. Many changes
are suggested in the judicial districts
of the state as they now exist and 1t
is probable that the discussion of the
bill will occupy the greater portion OF
the afternoon session.
If the bill is passed in it's present
form the seventh, thirteenth, six
teenth twenty-first, thirty-third,
thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth and thirty
sixth districts will be abolished. The
districts composed of the counties of
Wyandotte, Sedgwick, Leavenw orth
and Crawford, each of which has a
turbed by the provisions of the COM
mittee bill. Shawnee is the only
county with a separate judicial dis
trict to which the committee has add
ed additional territory.
In it's original form, the committee
bill provides that the affected dis
tricts shall be constituted as follows:
Second district-Atchison, Brown,
Doniphan and Jackson counties.
Third-Shawne and jefferson
counties.
Fourth-Franklin, Douglas, Usage
and Wabaunsee counties.
Fifth-Lyon, Chase, Morris and COT
fey counties.
Eighth-Butler, Marion and Nc
PherSon counties.
Ninth-Reno, Harvey and Stafford
counties.
derson counties.
observation-disclosures and Labette
counties.
Twelfth-Clay, Cloud, Republic and
Washington counties.
L ,,..A1 h ATNr ferfNF q L
son counties.
Fifteenth-Jewerl, Smith, Mitchell,
Osborne and Rocks counties.
Seventeenth-Phill Norton, De-
catur, Rawlins, Cheyenne, Sherman
and Thomas counties
ineteenth-Cowley, Sumner and
Chautauqua counties.
Twentieth-Rice, Barton, Rush,
Pawnee, Edwards and Hodgeman
Twenty-second = Geary, Nemaha,
Pottawatomie, Marshall and Riley
counties.
twenty third-Russen, Ellis, Trego;
Cove, Logan, Wallace, Graham and
Sheridan counties
Twenty-fourth-k Harper,
Pratt, Barber. Kiowa, Comanche and
Clark counties.
Observation-Disclosures Ottawa, Sa-
line, Lincoln and Ellsworth counties.
Thfrty-first-Ford, Gray. Haskell,
Grant, stanton, Morton, Stevens, Sew
ard and Meade counties.
Thirty-Second-NeSS Lane, Scott.
Wichita, Greeley, Finney, Kearny and
Hamilton counties.
Thirty-seventh = Allen, Woodson,
Greenwood and Elk counties.
There will probably be much oppo-
sition to the bill in it's present form.
EspeciaIly will the Shawnee county
members in the house fight the plan
of adding Jefferson county to Shawnee
and in this the committee will prof.
ably concede that Jefferson should be
attached to some other judicial dis
trict.
In other districts there is also trou-
BILE because of the shakeup of the old
ARRANGEMENT. The passage OF the bill
and the adjustment of the eight dis
tricts, however, will save the state
about $4,000 a year and a hard fight
will be made by the committee to Sc
cure its passage.

cord with a well thought out plan.
In that connection the president sug
gested the saving of the rent paid in
Washington for buildings used by the
government through the construction
of new buildings to cost about $780,
100000 to be paid for through a
period of 20 years. rt5<s-s
Save Money on Salaries.
OF reduction of the salary roll of
the government, amounting to about
Sc SOC, 900 annually, two-thirds, the pres
ident declared. would &c saved by
adopting his scheme to classify what
are now presidential appointments.
Almost SO, 000, 900 annually could be kept
in government Golfers through postof-
flee department changes The sum of
s.. 900, 900 would be cut from the pay
roll Mr.. Taft continued, if there were
a complete executive Reconsideration
of civil service employees.
Elimination of waste in the distri-
button of public documents: reduction
of the number OF United States assay
offices and possibly the number or
mintS and their consolidation into one
are other recommendations.
with much hesitation the president
recommends the organization of a
budget committee of congress- 1t
should act as final clearing house
lions of committees having to do with
revenues and expenditures would pass
before they take the form of bills
No One Has Authority
The special reason 1 have for urg-
ing this committee" wrote the presi-
dent lis that at present the admins
tration is seriously handicapped by not
being able to take up proposals for
constructive measures affecting any
particular department with any one
body or committee which will under
take to consider them in all their as
pects.''
Going further the president suggested
that appropriations should be in the
following classes:
To cover overhead and opera ting cost.
For upkeep of property.
For fixed charges, including sinking
fund.
For permanent improvements.
