THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

Sentiment is said to be growing in
the Georgia legislature in favor of the
establishment of the budget system
for appropriations and expenditures,
and the present condition of the state
treasury affords the advocates of the
system made.to-order argument
showing the necessity for some thor
ough, business-like reorganization of
the states financial affairs.
appropriations for 1917 already are
nearly 100000 in excess of estimated
income, and the end is not yet in
sight, for there will be numerous pro
posals for special appropriations for
the current year, and the demands for
appropriations for 1918 and 1919.
which the legislature this year will
make, are growing by leaps and
bounds.
Pensions in 1917 exceeded those in
1916 by 100000. Pensions in 1918 will
exceed those in 1917 by $4,000. Pen.
sionS in 1919 will exceed those in
1918 by 100000 The common school
fund this year was increased $15O,0O0
over last year. and there will be a de-
mand for still greater increase in the
future. There ought to be.
Other states in financial condi
ton similar TO that of Georgia have
found the remedy n budget system,
which simply applies to state finances
the iron-clad rule of keeping within
ones income. Maryland has recently
adopted the system. President Wilson
has urged its establishment in the
making of federal appropriations. Pro-
gressiye cities throughout the coun-
try have used it for years. Cordele
works by such system. The system
consists, briefly, in casting up, on the
income side, an estimate of the states

WHO PAYS FOR SCHOOLS?

The Dispatch has confidence enough
in the people Of Cordele and Crisp
county to believe they have not been
misled by the claim that the country
residents would be taxed to run the
schools of Cordele should the two
systems be turned into one. that
would give evry child alike a good
school 1t does not take much effort
TO find that it is not a true charge.
The people of Cordele pay state and
county taxes on SS.196.737 property
values. The whole county, city and
country. pays taxes on $4S79,43O prop,

! crime. Now those who try for good
schools are tied out to Craze while
others run the system.
In the country we do not build the
school houses out of the public funds
AS a result there are no houses worthy
of the name in some of the communi.
ties. Hatley is an illustration. The
teacher out there has tried,-others
have tried to improve this situation.
Superintendent Britton and Superin.
tendent Land ought to get look at
our interest in that community. Penia
is almost as bad. Bibb county out of
it's four mills pays for the school,
buildings and keeps them comfortable.
1t does that, too, not by pinching the
salaries of it's good teachers.
BibD doesn't try to maintain two
systems, pay two superintendent,
nor does it have to pay one of them
two salaries, two little salaries that
within themselves somehow seem rep
resentatives of the calibre of our
schools.
The Dispatch urges the citizens of
Crisp county to give more thought to
the condition of their schools. Many.
many things that cheaper the desti-
MES of the men and women of the
future, the boys and girls of the pres
ent in these schools, are in their
way, blocking progress. One of the
worst things is this: The man we
call our school boss knows better. Let
US credit him with that. He might do
better if he were not tied hand and
food to the man who made him boss
If you are his friend, suggest to him
that he should strike out boldly and
fight on for better schools. Tell him
that his energies thus expended will
come back intensified in the years
Of the future to bless his name in the
lives of good citizens. Tell him that
the fractional increase in your taxes
is not worrying. If it really is, stand
up like a man and put your worry be-
hind you for the love of enlighten-
ment, intelligence and useful citizen
ship that the schools insure.
Say today you are for better
schools. Say it again tomorrow
Don't ever forget to say it. Say it
in the ears of those with whom we
have entrusted the duties of giving
us better schools. The Dispatch
wants TO JOIN you In that and only
that, and we want to keep urging good
schools till we have what we deserve,
no matter who gets the credit for do.
ing the work. We want you've
want every man to know that we
could do better by our children. We
want you to feel more strongly the
call of your children for enlighten-
ment We want you to know it is a
reflection on this community, not a
credit, that the state school officials
should ever be called upon to say we
have good schools. We want you to
know that good school needs no
