VOTE TO-DAY ON new
STATE BUDGET PLAN
Proposal IN Let Governor In
itiatc Appropriations Ar
gucd in Convention.
MANY FAVOR SCHEME

..r,>l. Aug. Io.-The new plan by
i,i,turc will initiate the state budget
was outlined e. the Constitutional
Convention to-day by Henry l.. Stimson.
chairman of the nance committee,
which drafted It. Under its terms the
legislature may eliminate or reduce any
lem. hut may not increase the amount
ayproptIatc,l. The convention will vote
on the plan tomorrow.
Alfred t.. smith attacked the plan on
tlr ground that the budget embraces
but half of the appropriations of the
state and that the Stimson plan does
nos, apply to the other half Of the ap-
preparations, In which the abuses occur.
The Stimson budget prepared by the
Governor would really be the annual
appropriation bill, which this year car
RED appropriations of $4,000, 900. while
TN, total appropriations were $63. 000.-
opo. said MIR. Smith. 1T should be
remembered that 80 per cent. Of the
tens IN the Appropriation bill are stat
utor,. leaving hut 30 per cent. of the
So. 600. oo0 which could be changed by
the Governor.
The abuses arise In the other SAL
unn. Uu0 Of appropriations for new con
siru,tion and improvements and new de-
partIrSs in government n for those
local improvements which II has been
tlaimeS have been log rolled through
the Legislature. The plan presented hero
will not prevent this log rolling because
separate appropriation bills outside the
budget may be passed by the Legisla-
turc.

One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the International Flower
show at Grand Central Palace, New
York, was a moth orchid growing in
human skull. A rather curious story
accompanies the exhibit. The skull is
that of an old tribal chief of the Phil
ippine islands, who was murdered for
ty years ago by Guanu, a Suriago
chief, for stealing one of the latters
wives. Guanu kept the skull as a
trophy until his death, when 1t was
placed upon Guanu's grave as a tomb
stone. An orchid took root and as
the flower bloomed it was zealously
guarded by the natives who thought
the orchid was the spirit of their chief.
In the year 1902, traveller passing
through the village saw the freak and
stole it from the natives and sent it
to a florist of Rutherford, N ]. Note
how the expansion of the roots has
caused the frontal bone to crack The
roots extend down through the skull
and can be seen through the nasal
cavity aud beneath the jaw. The tiow-
er has bloomed regularly since
brought to this country

Letter.

The State Board of Health of
Florida will present to the Legisla-
ture a Model Law for gathering and
preserving the records of the life his
tories of the people of the State,
The measure is modelled on the
draft endorsed by the u s. Bureau

Uniform Laws of the American Bar
Association, the American Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Infant Mortality, the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, and numerous other
national, state and local bodies.
Laws based on it have been passed
by many states. including Maryland,
Virginia. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, North and South Carolina
and Georgia. And the successful re
suits achieved in those states where
it has been faithfully put into opera
ton prove its practical worth over
any other system known in this coun-
try.
Vital Statistics has been called the
Old Family Rible, the Bookkeeping
Of Life and Death. 1t preserves for
individuals legal record Of their ex-
istence and life history. 1t records
for each his day of birth to assure
his right of education, of citizenship,
of suffrage, TO hold office, and the pro

and criminal responsibility, shall have

State It gives an audit of its greatest
asset-its people. 1t shows whether
the community gains by births or
loses by deaths. 1t guides municipal
tiles in civic Improvement and social
welfare movements. 1t proves the
healthfuness Of localities, dispels fear
Of pestiential diseases,and gives dan
ger signals to guard against epidem-
les. 1t gives data on which the busi
