Gov. Roberts in
Favor of Federal
Budget System

Governor A. H. Roberts has en-
dorsed the countrywide campaign of
the National Budget Committee to
secure the adoption by Congress Of
q Federal Budget System.
! In statement prepared yesterday
for the committee, Governor Roberts
says:
"There are many undesirable feat
ures in the present system used by
Congress for appropriating public
money. These features have been
costing the nation great sums of
money annually. They can be elm
mated only by the adoption of gem
uine Federal Budget System.
at seems unbelievable that we have
a government spending without re-
gard to income. That has been the
case since the Civil War, because nu-
merous committees in Congress that
are independent of each other and of
the executive branch of the govern.
ment have the power of initiating ap-
preparation measures.
"A Federal budget prepared by the
President will coordinate depart
mental effort, thereby eliminating du-
plications in expenditures. Secondly,
it will provide for central commit
tee in Congress to pass upon the Book
of Estimates, and lastly, it will en-
able Congress to have. independent
audit and control of expenditures au-
ihorized There can be no objection
the proposed system, for it will
fix responsibility, for our financial ad-
IL. m.HiCtration, standardize expenditures
s9d eliminate waste and extravaganza
that have characterized appropriation
measul es in the past"
Since the Inauguration of the Ma
tional budget Committees campaign
several months ago, much progress in
the movement for the incorporation
cf an annual executive budget in ne
Federal Government has been made.
Bills I'D resolutions introduced in tie
House at the present session of Con-
gress were referred to a Select Com
mittee on the Budget which now has
its report before the House. The SEN
ate Select Committee has postponed
hearings until disposition has been
made of the treaty of peace.
In campaigning for budget, the
National Budget Committee is try,
in gto impress upon citizens keener
sense of individual responsibility as
voters. Fortnightly Budget Clubs to
serve as forums for the discussion OF
topics Of national interest are being
formed. The Committee expects to
have 10000 Of these in every part of
the country by the first of the year.
Chairmen have been appointed for
ten state organizations,

Urges Quick Probe
of "Reds" in Govt

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Speedy
investigation of the charges by Sem
ator Watson of Bolshevism in Gov
ernment departments was urged by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, in the Sem
ate recently.
Senator Kenyon said the Watson
resolution was unfair to some who
desired a chance to defend them
selves. He exhonorated Basil Manly,
named in the Watson resolution, and
said he had a record of patriotic ser
vice to the Government.
A letter was read from Manly in
which. he denied he was Socialist
and declared his intention to continue
his work.

Sl2,OOO,OOO in Ships
That Didn't Get a
Chance in War

SEATTLE, Oct. 25.-A great feet
Of forty-eight war built uncompleted
wooden cargo vessels tugs lie idly at
its moorings in Lake Union, near the
heart of Seattle. The boats, some
of them hardly more than hulls, are
owned by the United States Shipping
board and are worth $12,000,0 900, it
has been estimated. Most of them
are ready to receive their engines.
"Ships that didn't get a chance"
they have been called, as the war
WHICH raised them onto the ways and
into the war, ended before they reach
ed the seas to do their share in form
ing pert of "Pershing's bridge" to
carry American men and supplies
across the Atlantic to France.
Side by side the ships lie, most of
them in long row near Seattle's lake
boulevards. After being launched
at various northwest yards several
at formal exercises, the ships one by
one, were towed to Like Union to
wait for the day when they will be
completed and set to sail the seven
seas.
There is talk of American, Swed-
ish, British and other buyers for the
'gray company" of vessels. Some of
them have been advertised for sale
but as yet none have been sold. Six
ty watchmen are on duty day and
night and fire tugs ply around the
fleet. On fair days they play their
hoses on the decks drenching them as
fire protection.

Farmers Will
Demand a Fair
Profit Hereafter

Farmers have for many years sup
piled the consuming world with food
at prices that make life on the farm
a hard battle with poverty. The
farmers and their families have
wrestled with weeds, floods, drouth,
disaster and disease for years to pro.
duce all the choicest rood that con-
sumers wanted at prices almost as
cheap as dirt, They have been forced
to wear out their lands, keep their
children in the field instead of school,
and have known little of the comforts
and luxuries of life,
Now that the price Of farm prod
ucts has reached a point where good
farmers can see light and have n
chance to enjoy some of the comforts
of life, town and city people are send
ing up mighty howl over the cost
Of food.
Those who are making the most
noise over the price of food seem to
think that the farmer must bestir him
self to grow enormous quantities of
sixty-cent wheat, forty-cent corn, five
cent cattle, four-cent hogs and other
food products on the same basis. They
seem to think that it is the duty of
farmers and their families to produce
large quantities of food to sell below
the cost of production.
The most progressive farmers will
continue to make use OF all the prac-
teal knowledge and assistance the
agricultural colleges, experiment sta
tions, county agents and farm papers
can give to enable them to grow large
crops, These men will increase the
fertility of the soils, plant the most
prolific seed, fertilize literally, use
strong teams or tractors and labor
saving implements ana machinery to
supply the needs Of the world for food
but they will demand cost of produc-
ton plus fair profit. They are no
longer willing to keep their children
out Of school and toll from twelve
to fourteen hours per day for mere
existence. They are unwilling to
work longer hours than town and
city people, and they demand the
same educational advantages and the
same comforts in their homes.
