cessfully without it's annual budget-its carefully considered estimate of receipts and expenditures for the ensuing year But state budget although indorsed by President Wilson and every living writer on political economy, Is not SC well known in Alabama. It is very simple measure, however, and would not have the effect of introducing any rad ical reforms in our state government; in fact, by this plan I would not seek to introduce anything but system, an or derly and intelligible method of doing the same things that have in the past been done in a slipshod unsystematic manner.
 The state burget has been adopted under pinch of necessity by nearly all foreign governments It is designed to promote financial planning for govern ment work and to attain an intelligent control of public expenditures, it's object having been summed up briefly by an American authority as calculated to give:
 OUTLINE OF SYSTEM
 l. An account of official stewardship by the executive branch of the govern ment.S
 ?. A complete, understandable statement of present financial condition and esti- mates of future needs
 B. A basis for planning future work.
 A. A means by which the work of the executive branch of the government which spends the money is brought into close cooperation with the legislative branch which appropriated it.
 Tn a sentence, a budget merely at- temps to balance state revenues and ex- penditures It's watchwords are system and publicity It places direct respon- sibility on the executive, and if adopted in Alabama and faithfully executed, it would have this effect:
 1r.rr troduction and passage of undigested rev. enue bills during the last days of a leg islative session, as through the published budget and the newspapers the public may be made acquainted with proposed financial legislation weeks before final action Is taken
 WOULD ALLOW COMPARISON
 Tt would bring about a comparison of expenditures, item by item, in all branches of the state government and a comparison of Alabama's expenses with the expenses of other states similarly situated
 By turning on the pitiless light of publicity it would make graft next to inn possible.
 It would give definite, itemized infor- nation of all financial affairs to the people and furnish a practical working basis for the legislature. Thus it would shorten legislative sessions and save money to the tax payers
 1t would elevate facts, scientific data and expert estimates over gumshoe hit -or-miss methods and seductive personali- ties.
 Tt would force the state to live within 1 it's income.
 Tt would be watchdog before inc door of the state treasury and would forever put an end to invisible, irrespon- slble government in this state.
 At later time I shall make known the partrular measures for which I | stand and which would be promoted and | realized through the workings of the budget system"

WHOLE NATION MOURNS

When news of the admiraTs death was received at the White House, President Wilson authorized the following state- ment:
 Tn expressing his grief at the death of Admiral Dewey the President said the whole nation will mourn the loss of it's most distinguished naval officer, a man who has been as faithful, as intel ligent and as successful in the perform ance of his responsible duties in time of peace as he was gallant and successful in time of war. It is just such men that gives the service distinction and the na- ton just pride in those who serve it. ,
 Secretary Daniels paid this tribute:
 up to the very last Admiral Dewey Kept in touch with every movement of progress, not only in our navy, but throughout the world. On Wednesday last, just before I left the department, he paid me al call and looked hale and hearty l thought he would be spared to us for many years. His death is an irreparable loss to our country, but the American people will ever cherish his memory

GRADE DIES WITH HIM

Immediately Dewey was advanced to rear admiral, and then Congress, by spe- cial act, made him admiral of the navy, a grade that died with him. Since 1900 he had been on duty at the navy depart ment as president of the general board, constantly in touch with all activities of the navy, adviser of secretaries and a mighty champion of a greater fleet. Year after year the general board urged the building of more ships than Congress would agree to, until at the last session great building programme based upon it's recommendations finally was adopted.
 It was because of the admirars keen aversion to any suggestion that hls health and strength were failing that the navy physicians attending him agreed with the family to make no announcement of his condition after the attack Thursday. It was given out that the admiral had a cold, and until Sunday even the doc tors hoped that he might master the disease. Yesterday his condition had be- come so serious that the facts no longer could be withheld

PROHIBITION NOT THE ISSUE" SAYS
 THOMAS [. K|LBy AnnistOn Man Claims His Record on This Question
 Is Straight
GETTING STATE OUT
 OF DEBT IS PROBLEM
Lieutenant Governor Outlines His Plan for Budget System Which Will Do Away With 'sInvisa-
 ble Government"

Anniston, January 16.-(Special.)--ln re- ferring to the possible entrance of other candidates into the race for governor for which position he announced some time ago, Iieut.-Gov. Thomas E. Kilby of this city today gave out the following statement:
 T have nothing to say about other can didates or prospective candidates except that they will not interfere with my plans I had indulged the hope that my record on the prohibition question was satisfactory to that branch of the party, and that the entry of others in the race would be based on other consideration than the maintenance of the prohibition laws but, if others choose to divide that strength and endanger the cause, it is a matter for them to determine.
 with the prohibition question settled, I believe the people of Alabama are more concerned about plans for getting the state out of debt and keeping it out. Nothing short of defeat at the polls could ever make me think otherwise Holding myself in readiness to stoutly defend prohibition if 1t should be attacked, l shall devote myself to the task of show ing where our troubles lie and where the remedy may be found.
 'INVINSIBLE" GOVERNMENT
 If I were asked to diagnose in two words the ills suffered by Alabama pub lie affairs in recent years, I should say without hesitation, invisible government
 By this I mean that taxes have been collected from the people and expended by their representatives in many of our cities and people who pay the taxes to get an intimate insight into the manner of expending revenue contributed into the public treasury. As a state, we have apparently loved darkness rather than light
 Consequently, when I entered upon a career of public service I chose as my motto: Let there be light and it is my hope and determination, if elected gov ernor, to throw the white light of public ity into every nook and corner of our state government and to so focus it upon public affairs that he who runs may read: that the humblest citizen of Ala ba1na may get an accurate account, item by item, in the newspapers of the state of the cost of government, and know exactly for what his tax is being ex- pended
