BUDGET SYSTEM
Joins With rs Other State
Executives for Plan to Elm
mate Waste of
Millions.

New York, Sept. 24.-(Special
Telegram.)- Gov. Samuel r. Nc
Kelvie of Nebraska, in a statement
prepared for the national budget
committee, declares that congress
should adopt new system of ham
ding the nations financial affairs.
Governor McKelvie says that a
change for the better Is needed be-
cause of the great waste resulting
from present methods of reporting
out demands on the nations treas
ury.
Twenty-Five other governors in
the United States to date have
Joined with Governor McKelvie in
urging the adoption of a budget as
a medium of economy and efficiency
in our federal government. All have
endorsed the nationwide campaign
that has been opened by the national
budget committee to secure the
adoption of the budget.
McKelvie's Statement. 4
In his statement endorsing the
plans of campaign of the national
budget committee, Governor Nc
Kelvie says, in part:
There can be, no doubt that a
very great waste of public funds has
been encouraged through the lax
method of making apprc priations,
and | think it is of immediate i'm
portance that a system should be
adopted that would provide for CEN
tralization of effort and fixing of
responsibility in disbursing the funds
for national use.
AT present there are IA commit
tees in the house and Is committees
in the senate, among which are ap-
portioned departmental estimates
for the fiscal year. Each of these
committees acts separately and in
dependently of the others and OF
the executive branch of the govern
ment, and each has the power of
reporting out bills carrying demands
on the treasury.
"While these committees are con-
sidering estimates of expenditures
separately, the ways and means COM
mittees of the house and senate arc
considering estimated revenue, so
that in the committees considera-
ton of expenditures, they at no time
are able to know what revenue is
available to meet the demands OF
the executive departments and other
governmental activities.
Waste in Implications
Believing that the system has
cost the United States more than
a hundred million dollars annually
in Implications and extravagant and
wasteful appropriations, the national
budget committee is campaigning to
have congress adopt budget sys-
TEN. The budget system would re.
quire the preparation of an execu-
tive financial program that would be
considered by single committees of
the house and senate, or joint COM
nittees of both, having the power to
provide for revenue as well as ex-
penditures. With this system. ex-
penditures would be standardized,
responsibility for expenditures
would be centralized, and duplica-
tons and waste would be avoided
through its abolishing Objectionable
legislative practices such as log
rolling"

No One is Exempt.
In a statement before the sena-
tors, Captain Peyser said:
IF any person had entered my
office from 9 o'clock in the morning
to 9 o'clock at night they would
have seen a line of women wearing
gold stars on their sleeves, showing
that they had given their boys to
the country and to God and would
have been shocked at the tales re-
peated. There were many pitiful
eases when the epidemic of the
flu was at its crest. The court
house was so jammed that there
was not breathing space because Of
the people who were willing to sac
rifce anything to throw out men
and women who were employed in
the government"
As a rule in the landlord and ten
ant affairs only one judge presides,
and he finishes his work before II
o'clock every morning. In Septem-
Der, October and November of last
year three judges were required to
sit until 5 o'clock to attend to these
government employees.
"These employees could not pay
large amounts for rent and they
could not defend themselves be-
cause of lack of finance" said Cap
tain Peyser.
Il have practiced law in Wash
ington for % years and l have
never seen sight like the one at
the municipal court during the days
Of the flu epidemic.
"Then there WAS the case of Mrs
Omaha daily bee., 1919-09-25

Gould, a widow, the mother of three
boys in the service. She was sued
for possession of house and was
forced to go because the owner
wanted to live in it himself. She
obtained an apartment formerly &C.
cupied by man by the name OF
Carahan, and one day her furniture
and all her wearing apparel and all
her ornaments were thrown into
the street because the first tenant
went into the municipal court and
confessed Judgment to the Capital
Construction company, the owner
of the apartment. Then the woman
had to go and make her home with
a neighbor.
We got new trial, but the court
said she had no right. But the pitt
full condition in this case was that
here was woman, widow and
with three boys in the service help
ing to defend this country and yet
she was wilfully and maliciously
thrown out of her apartment by a
legal technicality.
THE Right to Live"
While the legal remedy was not
strong enough to protect this wom-
an, there ought to be some morality
and justice in this world that will
say to the mother of these boys you
have the right to live The right
of human liberty | think is superior
to the right of property, more es-
pecially during war times. Mrs.
Gould's daughter had to go to one
place and she to another. Her
daughter was employed in one of
the departments.
Phone Company Accused.
There was the case of the Ala
bama apartment house, filled with

before the prohteering investiga-
ton.
Nor does persecution end here.
One real estate firm has preferred
charges against Capt. julius Pey-
ser, chief Of the housing and health
division of the army, for his activ-
tiles in behalf of over 200 cases
tried in the municipal courts, pro-
tecting people against unlawful
evictions.
Protects Service Men.
Captain Peyser has been partic-
ularly jealous in helping soldiers,
sailors, their wives and dependents,
as well as the civilian workers, to
maintain their tenancy without hav-
ing leases forced upon them by am
bilious real estate brokers.
And following this activity there
is another tale. Another real estate
firm has filed a complaint against

New Orleans, La, Sept 24.-Ad-

business men as necessary evil, but
is looked upon as essential to per-
manent success, Merle Sidner Of

Associated Advertising Clubs of the

association today.

forsooth. because the mother of q
young seaman, whose ship was at
tackled by a German U-boat. had APP
pealed to the housing division when
she was locked out of her apartment
even after her rent had been &C
cepted, and because she found no
redress for her needs.
The mother, widow, supported
herself and child by subletting her
rooms, with the consent OF the
owner who later alleged that she
was prohteering on the sub-tenants
and brought suit, which the widow
won.
Even Tackle a Senator.
But it is not always the poor and
downtrodden who find disfavor with
landlords. There is the case Of Sen
ator Moses of New Hampshire. He
went home to New Hampshire and
turned possession of his apartment
over for short time with the con-
sent of the agents to Commander
Fuller. When he returned he was
sued for possession, but the Senator
won judgment.
Cocktails Not Easy Prey.
Maj. Gen. George Goethals was
intended victim. His land
lady undertook to raise his rent
from $500 to $500 a month, but the
Salisbury law was invoked and gave
him protection.
Nor is the rent prohteering con-
fined to the civilian population. A
