Kelsey, both of Lamar, and the
placing of the general management
of the Air Line Company in per-
sonal charge OF Major George Puff

tinent, and to whose ind0mintable
courage and enthusiasm, largely,
are due the progress thus far
reached in this new and promising
industrial enterprise.
Messrs. Knuckey, Duncan, Wilson
and Kelsey are widely known and
recognized as four of the ablest and
most farsighted business men in
the Arkansas Valley and eastern
COlarado. Their personal and finan-
cial identy with any enterprise is a
guarantee of success which the
most skeptical will readily concede.
Their interest at this time means
that Tha Holly Air Line Transpor-
tatiOn Company will sOO.l be in ac-
tive operation and that one of the
most important aerial Transports

Urges National Budget.


conclusion at this session legislation
looking to the establishment of bud
get system. That there should be one
singel authority responsible for the
making of all appropriations and that
appropriations should be made not in
dependently of each other, but with
reference to one single comprehensive
plan of expenditure properly related
to the nations income, there can be nc
doubt. 1 believe the burden OF prepar
ing the budget must, in the nature OF
the case, If the work is to be properly
done and responsibility concentrated
instead of divided, rest upon the e1ecu'
utive.
The budget SO prepared should be
submitted to and approved or amend

Of Congress and no single appropr'a'
ton should be made by the Congress,
except such as may have been includ'
ed in the budgst prepared by the ex'
ecutive of added by the particular com
mittee of Congress charged with the

aspect Of the problem is the ascertain,
ment of the economy and efficiency

are expended. Under existing law

Germany Is we'll off except in the
case of her merchant marine, which

by. Her industrial plants are intact,
and the peace conference has con-
ferred upon her a unique advantage In
power to man them by abolishing the
military establishment in that coun-
try. The war destroyed about 1900
900 German workmen. But the peace
conference makes good 100000 of that
number Immediately by abolishing the
military consumption which kept that
many young Germans out OF industry
every year Several hundred thou
sand Germans also were formerly en-
ployed in arsenals, munition factories

contribute to the national wealth In
stead of to its expense account. Then
there are the millions of women who
in Germany, as elsewhere, have been
trained in the methods of wealth pro

say that Germany is materially
