HENDERSON, BRITISH LABOR LEADER

The result of the by-election OF

Henderson, the labor leader, was
elected to the house Of commons, Is
considered severe blow to the coalt-

victory was IAN emphatic condemna-

policy and Of the cynical political COM
promise upon which the government
rests" Henderson's recent express

GOVERNORS FAVOR BUDGET SYSTEM

Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas
says of the movement to establish
national budget system: 1.-The wal
emphasized strongly the inadeQuaclet
Of our legislative machinery in prob.
lens of national finance. No private
business concern would dare to rush
blindly into things as does congress.
This is because congress lacks a sound
system of providing public money for
the operation of the ten major execu-
tive departments. The work Of these
agencies can be established only
through the adoption of a new method
Of budgetary procedure"
Governor Allen is one of ~ gov
ernors who are reported by the ma
tional budget committee to favor the
substitution Of the budget system for
the present system Of departmental es-
