Details on State Dollars.

Governor Whitman's recommendation
for classified budget system of state
appropriations is practically the same as
the budget provisions in the proposed con-
stitution. defeated last November. 1t is
sound proposal and should be adopted.
At present the making of approprin-
tions is a matter of pulling and hauling
first between the two legislative houses
then between the Legislature and the
Governor. There is more often antagon-
ism or manifestation of sclf-interest IN
expenditure of state funds than co6pera'
ton for the public benefit. Local appro-
priation grabs, political "plums" and ex-
penditures unwise or extravaganza md
their way into the appropriation bill now
still more often they arc covered in
special measure or in some general item
which the Governor must approve or veto
in whole. notwithstanding the merit OF
some part of its purpose, because ne may
not reduce the item. Special bills are in
troduced and passed. meritorious in char
acter. vet not imperative In need, because
there is never under consideration by the
Legislature at one time the entire cues
ton of the years appropriations and the
years income. There result extravaganza
waste. ill-considercd and unwise expendi'
lures. the playing of local or partisan poll
tics with state moneys.
An executive-made budget, detailed and
explicit in its items. TO be considered slow
" and adequately by the Legislature in
connection with a careful estimate OF the
states revenues. inevitably must improve
the existing unfortunate conditions. Such
procedure would assure consideration Of
financial problems by officialdom and the
public. which is impossible now when leg
islators vote for bill the contents of
which they do not know because it has not
even been printed. Such a budget would
concentrate on the Governor responsibility
for the size of his administrations eX-
penditures and at the same time give him
what he now lacks-adequate power to
govern appropriations scientifically for
the states benefit if he so desire. To adopt
changes in law and constitution which
would make such a budget system possible
would be one Of the most important bene-
fits the present Legislature could confer
on the state.

Americanism at Stake.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir. Our country faces a crisis more mo-
mentous than any in her history. That crisis
ia not war. It is not war which we nave 70
fsar Rather should we fear hat our ma
ton. born of and nurtured By great men
and the sturdy followers Of great men, Is
about 70 disappear.
The colonists feared war less than in
Justice. So We became nation. Abraham
Lincoln and the men Of the sixties feared
war even civil war, less than the stigma OF
slavery and the fallacy of state rights. SO
We did not pass into q carcature of the ma
ton which the colonists begot. These men
feared not less, but more, than we. They
feared. not that American blood should be
spilt. but that the American ideal should fall.
They knew that the American people, not
being bound together b. ties Of blood, was
fused and welded into one by the white fire
of an ideal.
This is our crisis: Not whether or no we
90 TO war with the Central Powers, but
whether or not our ideal is to stand and
the American people endure. When our
ideal falls, we cease to be Americans.
What is this ideal which makes US Amer
leans? First Of all, democracy; the right o;
peoples TO choose their own rulers. Second
to insure TO each citizen an equal share OF
opportunity and protection.
We have stood unprotesting in the face
Of the greatest coalition against democracy
the world has ever seen. In place of protec-
ton we flutter before the eyes Of our drown
ing citizens suave and unctuops memo
randum.
There are some who cry: "But II we break
of relations with Germany and Austria II
will mean civil war" Then, in Gods name
let US find out these traitors now and save
ourselves and our descendants bloodler day

and the politicians. He has identified
himself with no question of general inter
est and he has disclosed the possession oil
no principles Of any sort that might en1st
followers. He has been just fair aver
age Governor and nothing more
There is left to him in his last year the
chance 70 serve the people and himself by
laying aside ridiculous aspirations and
rreposterous hopes and giving his time
and his attention TO state business. He
has persistence and industry in an I'M
usual degree He might yet make good
Governor. ne might yet leave behind him
a really respectable record of achieve
ment in state service. But all this will
be impossible if he let's his political am
bition turn him over body and soul to
politicians who are eager TO exploit his
credulty. but make no concealment in
private of their contempt for It.
Dix's Presidential campaign made him
the laughing stock of the state, made his
denomination impossible and left him
bankrupt politically at the end Of two
years. Mr.. Whitman would do well to be
warned by this example. If he is not he
will be as ruthlessly "scrapped" by
Barnes at the end Of his term as was Dix
by Murphy. No true friend Of Mr.. Whit
man will advise him TO mako campaign
for the Presidential nomination, because
no true friend can believe he has either
qualifications or chance. above'all in year
like the present, with the issues and prob
lens that are before the country, and the
demand for commanding ability that has
gone forth.
Governor Whitman still has the chance
to qualify for a denomination as Gov
ernor. 4 Presidential nomination is merest
moonshine, which will make of him a
Joke and leave New York bound and
gagged in the next Republican National
Convention.

Undue Haste.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Are not the American people charac-
teristically impatient in desiring something
settled in submarine circles?
Germany and Austria have each had their
Lusitana and Arabic cases. Should we not
before doing something, allow Turkey and
Bulgaria their Lusitania and Arabic cases?

mons that the British losses in the battle Of
Loos in the September offensive were nearly
10000 is a remarkable confirmation Of the

These set the British losses at $4,000 and the

BIG DYNAMITE BLAST TO HERALD BEGINNING OF
 WORK ON THE SPEEDWAY
Hundreds of Citizens Are Expected Be On Hand This After noon to Lend Encouragement to Project Which Prom
 ises to Bring Hundreds of Thousands of Peo pie in Years to Come

Life Insurance company, who are wis itors in Birmingham, as his guests
 Immediately after the charges of dynamite are ignited scores of wag- ons, mules and men will start to work on the excavation contract which has been awarded to the Newell Contract ing company of this city.
 It is estimated that crowd of sev- eral thousand will be on the speedway grounds when the ceremonies of the day commence George A.. Blnn, Jr., vice president of the Birmingham Mo- tor speedway, in speaking of the breaking of the celebration, said:
 "The breaking of ground for the be- ginning of construction on the souths only and the worlds greatest speedway will be an event of importance It will mark an era of progress hitherto un- precedented in the history of the south. Nearly every city of importance in the south has some real attraction which acts as drawing card for the travel ing public. Up until now Birmingham has not enjoyed this distinction, but with the building of the speedway it will be placed at the head of the list when it comes to offering something out of the ordinary that will bring thousands of people to our city.
 "The speedway is a proposition in which the citizens of Birmingham should take the utmost pride. The speedway will add to the material wealth of this city and will be the means of bringing more than a mil lion dollars into the city to be spent and banked right here. The Birming- ham public has always been prone to doubt at first. then boost. The period of doubting has been passed and the result of the boosting is making itself plainly noticeable. We expect a large crowd of people to be on hand to wit ness the beginning of the speedway and it is almost a certainty that we will not be disappointed"
