Budget System Needed.

treasurer Brown calls attention to
the fact that the custom followed by
legislatures in making specific appro-
priations to be paid annually there
after" has resulted in abuse.
For many years it has been custom
AIRY for the legislature to make ap-
preparations for specific purposes and
definite as to the amount to be paid
annually thereafter says the repor..
I'm recent years there has been a great
deal said about adopting a budget syS-
tenn of appropriations. Under a budget
system, as l understand it, each legis-
lature would make such appropriations
as 1t deemed neces~ ary for the proper
conduct Of the state business for Pc
fiod of two years. I believe the pres
ent system Of making appropriations
should be discontinued. An attempt
was made by the Thirty sixth general
assembly to adopt budget system but
after the general assembly had ad-
journed it was discovered that many
appropriation bills We're made paya Bile
annually hereafter.
Il believe the legislature should
make such appropriations as it thinks
necessary for the proper support of the
state government for a period Of two
fears and no more Appropriations that
are payable annually hereafter become
cumulative in operation. Under such a
system the members of the legislature
other than those on the appropriation,
committee rarely if ever know what
the appropriations for many purposes
aggregate. The amount appropriated
in such a case is an amount in add.
ton to existing annual appropriations
Of which the members proba bly, have
no knowledge when the appropriation
blll is being voted upon. The members
should have an opportunity to know
what the amount appropriated to any
purpose aggregates, and under the
present system that is possible only
when the members are careful to in
form themselves as to what amount
has been appropriated for the same
purpose by preceding legislatures"
