THE BUDGET N

That the use Of a budget system by
the national government would save tho
people 1000 900. ooO in 1920, is the
statement Of Roger W. Babson. the well
known statistical expert. As the entire
estimated expenditures of the govern
ment for the year arc s6,266, 951. 900. it
is plain that tho budget system would
be well worth while. to say the least.
Mr.. Babson further Celebrates on his
assertion by saying that the elimination
Of the pork barrel" which would be
brought about by the adoption Of tho
budget system, and the expenditure OF
money for essentials only. would save
from one fourth to ono third every
year OF the money now being expended
in the operation of the United Staten
government
Mr.. Babson Is not a politician and
has nothing to gain or lose by the adop-
ton OF a budget system. His high
standing as a statistician give his state
ment great weight.
Imagine IL you can" says the Bah
son statement, "a tremendous business
