AFT'sFAREWELL
MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS

Washington. Feb. :G.-.-Presilcnt
TAFT today sent to congress his much
discussed budget message. He
recommended the adoption OF II
budget system Of relating proposed
expenditures TO expected revenues
aud declared that Congress would be
greatly benefited by having before
It such q statement before 1t began
the annual grind upon appropriation
bills. The United tSntes. the Prcst-
dent wrote, was the only great ma
tion in the world which did not use
tho budget system and In conse-
Qucnce It may be said to be with
out plan or program" He tndicat-
cd that owing to the late day at
which lie was able to transmit his
message he expected little lcgisla-
ton on the topic from the present
congress.
The President took full rcspOnsi-
bility for the message upon himself.
Congress In the last sundry civil
bill directed the Secretary Of the
Treasury to submit estimates here
after In the old way. MIR. Taft
pointed out. however. that he had
directed the Secretary OF the Treas
ury to agree with the directions OF
Congress and also to send to him in
formation for Il budget message. He
referred Congress also to the portion
of tho Constitution which requires
him from time 10 time to recommend
such measures as he shall deem
necessary and expedicnt
Some of the advantages of the
budget system as pointed out by the
President were:
A means OF locating responsibility
for estimates in keeping with rcvc-
nuCs
A means Of allowing Congress to
sec how much gross 1t will have to
spend before 1t begins approprlating
for each department or detail OF gov
ernment machinery.
Because 1t would furnish Congress
and the public with ready reference
to reports and detailed records OF
account.
Because 1t would produce an ade-
4uate organization for assembling
nnd classifying Information to be
used in telling the country what has
been done and Of the governments
future needs.
