BUDGET SYSTEM

Medll Mccormick, for several years a member of the house,
and one of the new members of the senate, has introduced a bill
looking to the establishment Of the budget system in the national
government.
The bill, Senator Mccormick explains, is the result of sew
eral years study and experience in Illinois, where a very sue
cessful budget system has been established.
There is no disposition to make the measure nonpartisan,
for the reason, he explains, that it is likely that it will not be
nonpartsan, and, second, because the budget is a political instru-
ment. The amount of the estimates" he explains, "their char
acters and their purposes, are all matters of political economy
and political controversy"
The budget system has had the approval of thinking people
for many years. 1t is the only busincsshke system. No we'll
conducted enterprise would undertake to operate on the hap
hazard plan followed by the government without mourning the
risk of bankruptcy.
Under our present system laws are passed appropriating
funds that are not available; estimates are made up for the
proper conduct of a department, and then some pet measure is
slipped through and the fund is depleted and needed agencies
arc left without operating expenses.
The government has run riot for about two years. Money
has been spent with a lavish hand. We pardon the profiteering
and the waste on the ground of war necessity, and then COM
plain about the taxes. If we are to have one we must endure
the other,
But the time has come to cut expenditures to the vital needs
In other words, we must eliminate the waste, but not incur the
accusation of being parismonious.
The budget system provides a fixed sum to be expended in
the ordinary operation of the government. If Mr.. Mccormick
can induce his colleagues to abandon the pork barrel traditions
and install a business system he will have succeeded in doing a
good turn for his country.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

The action of the house in repeating the daylight saving law
outright, and the action of the senate in attaching a repeal clause
10 the agricultural bill, which was passed, makes it practically a
certainty that a conference will agree on a measure that will be
passed by both branches, and thus make an end to the law,
No proposed measure in recent years has had as much pub
lcity given it. An active propaganda has been carried on for
the last four or five years. AT each session of the congress
lobbyists from some mysterious source have bedeviled the con-
gressmen with the virtues of such an act, and the blessings that
it would bestow. .,..t..... .r.r
Finally the passage was secured as a war measure, on the
theory that the mere act Of setting up the hands of a clock
would make a difference in the number of daylight hours. Upon
some theory of reasoning it was claimed that the city man would
use the additional hour of daylight added to the evening, but
that he would continue to neglect the additional hour in the
morning. The solution was that the hour should be taken from
the early morning and added to the evening.
The measure has never had the approval of the country
people. 1t is true that they work by the sun, sometimes from
daylight until dark, but their work must have cooperation with
train schedules, closing hours for stores and other activities, The
farmer is no longer confined exclusively to blowing in the field.
The "old time" after all, was the best, and there will be little
regret over the action Of the congress, which indicates an early
repeal Of the so-called daylight saving" which in reality saved
nothing.

boy. finding they were very close to the
mountain tops. Then he turned to the
Gump n commanded: Stop at the

that stood between two cliffs.
But not being experienced In such
matters, the Gump did not judge his

Our friends held on to the sofas as

BY good fortune they fell only a few

The Tin woodman was at first much

address his comrades.

where the wrecked body of the Gump
still hung suspended from the end OF

to be no NEAR Of escape, and as they

had stolen during many years from the
home of men. And as the nest was
safely hidden where no human being
could reach 1t, this lost property would
never be recovered.

turned up with his foot a beautiful
diamond necklace. This was so greatly
admired by the Tin Woodman that the
Woggle-Bug presented 1t to him with
a graceful speech, after which the
Woodman hung It around his neck with
much pride. rejoicing exceedingly when
the big diamonds glittered In the suns
rays.
But now they heard a great jabber-
ing and Hopping Of wings, and as the
sound grew nearer to them Tip ex-
claimed:

The others were not at all afraid; but
the Scarecrow at once decided to save
those Of the party who were liable to
be injured by, the angry birds. So he
commanded Tip to take off Jacks head
and lie down with 1t in the bottom Of
the nest. and when this was done he
ordered the Woggle-Bug to lie beside
Tip. Nick Chopper, who knew from
past experience Just what to do. then
took the Scarecrow to pieces-(all ex-
cept his h~eadl-and scattered the straw
over Tip and the Woggle-Bug, COM

Hardly had this been accomplished
when the flock. of Jackdaws reached
them. Perceiving the intruders in their
nest the birds flew down upon them
with screams of rage.

WHERE rs CARRANZA?

For a year or more Carranza has been trying to defeat
Villa, and put down his reign of outlawry, He has made small
progress, Villa is not invulnerable, by any means, A few
thousand American soldiers crossed the Rio Grande and put the
bandits to flight, capturing horses and prisoners. Carranza had
a force at ~Juarez-more generals and colonies than privates, it
would seem, What are they doing that they did not pursue
Villa when the Americans had him whipped? 1t was a rare
chance, The bandits were in fight-oompletely routed. Then,
if ever, Carranza should have shown himself and finished the
Job. His failure to do so gives force to the rumor that Villa
and Carranza understand each other, and that one is necessary
to the other. With Villa out Of the way, Carranza would have
other and more formidable forces to deal with among his own
people. His Fabian policy should be looked into, Bandits firing
across the line and killing Americans cannot be tolerated,
whether they are Carranzistas or Nilistas, The soil of Texas
cannot be made a shambles. The people of Texas can protect
themselves, and will do so if the government of the United
States fails to do so. Turn Texas loose and she will soon put
an end to Villa and his bandits.

were liable to spoil at any time you
could understand my anxiety"
For my part said the Tin Wood
man, Il ~sympathize with you In every
respect, But since we cannot count
seventeen by twos, sympathy Is all you

BY this time 1t had become quite
dark, and the voyagers found above
them a cloudy sky, through which the
rays Of the moon could not penetrate.
The Dump flew steadily on, and for
some reason the huge sofa-body rocked

somewhat distressed. But the others

not seem to mind the motion MS long
as they were not tipped out.
Darker and darker grew the night,
and on and on sped the Gump through
the black heavens. The travellers could
not even see one another, and an OPP
pressive silence settled down upon
them,
After a long time Tip. who had been
thinking deeply, spoke,

asked

So they permitted the Gump to fly
N with regular flops of its great
wings, and waited patiently for morn
ing,
Then Tips fears were PROVEN to be
well founded; for with the first streaks
OF gray dawn they looked over the sides
of the sofas and discovered rolling
plains dotted with queer villages, where

be sure that he is ready to act when the time comes. If the
Germans contumaciously refuse to sign they. will receive "a lit
tie more grape and canister" And Foch has an abundant store
of munitions ready for them. The Germans consider themselves
a superior race of mortals, and believe that through sheer force
of intellect they can force their way into the league of nations,
and then make OF it an instrument of their own upbuilding. The
fates forfend US against further bloodshed, but if it must come,
the sooner it begins the better, In her present condition Of
helplessness fighting Germany will be shooting cows in a milking
lot. If nothing else will do them, they must have it. The world
must find itself once more. Turmoil must end.
