INCREASED POWER
FOR THE GOVERNOR
Mr.. Harrington VIII Frame Esti-
mates for Legislature.
BASIS OF BUDGET SYSTEM.
The Efficiency and Economy Commits
sion, Headed by President Good
now, Of Johns Hopkins Uni
warxsEv

Greater power will be conferred
upon the Governor of Maryland if the
plans, which are now being matured
by the Efficiency and Economy Com
mission. headed by President Good
now. of Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore. are adopted in bill to be
submitted to the General Assembly
during the early days of the session
for temporary use and if an amend
ment to the Constitution, TO be sub
mtited next year. is approved.
BY this proposed legislation. Gov
ernor Harrington and his successors.
will have the power TO frame and to
submit to the General Assembly a
budget bill" in which will be in
cluded all appropriations for the con
duet of the government the several
boards for the legislation of institu-
tions, educational and otherwise, sup
ported wholly or in part by the State:
public buildings and improvements,
and for other purposes.
The omnibus appropriation" bills
of other sessions and continuing APP
preparations will disappear The pro-
posed budget bill" will be so framed
as to provide for the expenditure of all
or nearly all of the States estimated
revenues for each year for two years.
If, therefore, any member Of the SEN
ate and House of Delegates advocates
an appropriation not provided in the
budget bill' he must succeed in elimi-
mating from itan itemor several items
sufficient to cover the appropriation
desired by him, which will be diff
cult task in view of the power of the
Governor behind the budget bill" or
he must set forth in his bill some
method by which the sum of money
covered by his bill shall be provided.
The words "out of moneys in the
State treasury, not otherwise appro-
priated'' viii disappear from individ-
ual appropriations bills in the future.
In deciding to recommend that the
power TO frame the budget bill" shall
be lodged alone in the Governor. the
Goodnow Commission was conceived
that since the responsibility for ex-
travagance and for excess appropri-
ations is put up to the Governor, he
shall have authority commensurate
with that responsibility.
Hence the subordination of the plan
to make the Board of Public Works
a budget board similar to the board
Of estimates of Baltimore city. Huge
additional work will be placed in the
Governors hands He will be empow-
cred to summons before him heads of
all departments and to gather infor-
nation from every available source
regarding the actual needs of the State
and its institutions The estimated
income of the State is determined in
the office of the Comptroller. It will,
therefore practically rest with the
Governor to fix the State tax rate

ting down to brass tacks" 1t may

sion next week, including the proposed

cepted until these government experts
have assured themselves OF entire com
pliance III every respect with the letter
OF the specifications and contract.
The same elaborate system of speci
tcations and inspections which governs
the purchase and delivery of this one
item Of the navy menu is just as as
siduously and scientific lly applied to
every other individual component of
the ration, including butter eggs and
spuds QriSh potatoes down to canned
tomatoes. The religious degree of ad-
herence to the prescribed specifications
for each and every item purchased can
perhaps best be illustrated by reciting
that in one delivery Of about 5000
dozen eggs. ordered under navy con
tract, 33 per cent of them were reject
ed as not conforming strictly to the re-
quired standard for fresh eggs. The
specifications COR the different items of
fresh and dry provisions are interpret
ed very literally, and cold storage eggs,
like oleomargarine, never find their
Nor does food inspection cease at
this point, FOR the naval instructions
require that upon delivery aboard ship
"a medical officer shall inspect as to
quality all fresh food purchased for the
general mess and thus the wisdom of
the following excerpt from the naval
instructions is apparent:
Orders for the fresh provisions to
be taken on board preparatory to leav-
ing port shall always call for delivery
sufficiently in advance Of the time set
for sailing to make it entirely practical
BILE to secure satisfactory provisions in
replacement in the event that the deliv-
cry made by any contractor should
prove ON inspection to be not entirely
up to specifications in every respect"
And so it is that when the navys
market basket is filed its contents are
such as would make the eye of pure
food expert sparkle with pleasure.
The same degree of care and system
which is bestowed in filing the larder
| applies equally in the preparation Of
the food for the sailors table. This
work is delegated to corps of skilled,
efficient cooks and bakers. whose cult
nary ability and versatility make

NEWPORT IS UNIQUE.
As Watering Place 1t Is In Class
All by Itself.

All by Itself.
Newport is our greatest invention In
watering places. There is nothing at
all like it anywhere else in the world.
At first glance Coney Island would ap-
pear to many peope more character
istically American, and Newport, In
deed, a mere snobbish imitation of
Europe. But if there is anything like
Newport in Europe it has escaped at
least the present writer's notice,
whereas something very like the adj
mirable Coney he could duplicate In
several quarters Of the globe.
Newport is the only watering place
in the world where there are no hotels
and no hotel life. no fashionable prone
made. no scene of gayety accessible TO
the stranger for an admission fee. On
ordinary mornings the tourist pene-
trating the Casino might see a few
young people in flannels playing tennis
and a scant dozen of their elders drop
ping in for moment to say good
morning or to deliver some message.
He might with extra good luck observe
one of the queens Of fashion drinking
an orangeade That would be, with
the single exception of tennis week.
about all he would observe.
He would. of course, be free to walk
the weary length Of Bellevue avenue
between clipped green hedges and see
the pleasant Newport homes-only
few Of them palaces" But nobody
would be stirring in the houses and no
one walking in the avenue. An oc-
casional motor would roll by, that is
ALL He could also take that pretty
walk along the cliffs and see more
pleasant houses-still only a few of
them palaces" He might, If the
fates so incline, perhaps see a fashion
able footman at the window; he could
scarcely hope for the butler. He could
see the avenue whirring at half past
8, the dinner hour. And strolling
through the night he might here and
there observe lines of motors waiting
under the shadowy trees, and even
hear dance music beating in the calm,
soft darkness.

| impression of quietness, of distinction,
Of an existence not wholly in the pub
