Executive Budget System
Steadily Gains in Favor

The executive budget system. now in
process of being introduced into the
financial workings of the State of
Maine, is steadily growing in favor
according to all indications. It will be
q slow process on account of the many
things to be considered. but 1t Is the
general belief that whatever time is
devoted to its perfection 1t will be of
the greatest benefit and saving to the
State.
One of the systems strongest advo-
Gates is Senator Leon F. Higgins of
Brewer, who says that the work now
being engaged in by Governor Milliken,
the members of his Executive Council
and the members of the joint commit
tee on appropriations and financial af-
fairs, with other committees and mem
bers of the Legislature. heads Of de-
partments and Timothy F. Callahan of
Lewiston, the States financial expert,
is one of the most important steps ever
taken in the State of Maine. The
senator is thoroughly interested and he
is working in complete harmony with
Governor Milliken in making the most
of every opportunity to bring the sys-
tenn to a shape and form where 1t can
be placed before the people with every
confidence of approval and future sue
cess, working a real reform in the
handling of State finances.
The working out OF q state execu-
tive budget seems to me one OF the
greatest steps ever taken in the State
of Maine" said Senator higgins. 1t

Gov. Mil,iken Pleased with
the Budget Work Progress

Governor Carl L. Milliken expresses
himself as much pleased With the uni
versal interest being manifested in
the proposed Budget system. He said,
when asked for his opinion and as to
how much longer the hearings wiz
probably last:
You may say that I am exceedingly
pleased with the attention being given
the Budget system proposition. both
by the members of the Legislature and
the people in general l have long been
convinced of its safety and wisdom as
policy to follow both in private and
public matters. hence when my rec
ommendation for its adoption for State
affairs meets, as it surely seems to,
with such general approval, can
hardly feel otherwise than pleased
I'VE have made excellent progress in
the line of preliminary investigation as
to the needs of the various State de-
partments and State-aided institutions,
considering that the plan is new to
practically all of US and it Is necessary
to go slowly In order to firmly estab-
lish our position.
ut is harder and more trying work
fore also feel much gratifed and
pleased at the time and attention the
members of the Council, the appropri-
atoms and other committees have CIV
en- it. They have all shown the kind
est disposition to start the Budget sys-
tenn in the right way, and to that end
all who have come before the hear
ings have manifested the same kindly
interest. It augurs we'll for the COM
plete success Of the undertaking-this
friendly disposition and assistance
found on all hands.
I'VE are in hopes to finish the work
Of the public hearings this week.
That will mean some long hours at
the hearings, probably some evening
sessions, but II will be realized that
they must be completed before the
meetings Of the committees begin. es-
pecially those which will have any
connection with the financial matters
Of the legislation. l think we can COM
plete them. however. with close at

is not only arranging the finances on a
businesslike basis, but 1t is giving
every member of the Legislature and
not the members of one committee
alone the opportunity to hear the
claims and investigate the cases of all
proposed appropriations. and to be-
come familiar with them.
1--WE have already demonstrated the
wisdom of inaugurating the budget
system in the hearings we have held
this week through the time saved and
the consequent expense avoided. The
budget system Is already working out
well.
"Of course 1t may seem difficult to
understand the budget system at first
! and hard to work 1t out, but in the last
analysis it will become very work.
able proposition. Possibly 1t won't be-
come fully understood until the budget
is finally all worked out. Then the
members and the committees will find
themselves relieved Of the responsibility
OF making unjust appropriations or OF
appropriating too much, because they
will know just how much can be spent
along each line Of State activity
1T is not the idea Of the budget
making to dictate the appropriation in
any given instance. but simply to show
how much can be spent in each de-
partment with given tax rate. Then
if more or greater appropriations are
given the tax rate will have to be in
creased.
"At future sessions, we feel, the
budget system will be in perfect work
ing order and not have to be worked
out as is being done now. 1t will be-
come the plan and guiding scheme for
future Legislatures. And when we
become familiar with 1t 1t is going 10
prove very beneficial to the State, as it
has already proved in other common
WealthS."

at this session to make the budget sys-
TEN by law part of the machinery of
the State Senator Higgins replied that
there probably would be legislation
along this line later in the session,
when the budget plan has been fully
worked out
Interest in the budget system is In
creasing rapidly among the members
of the Legislature, who are indicating
their intention to cooperate with Gov
ernor Millken and the committee on

making a great success of the first at
