BUDGET SYSTEM
Explains to Special House
Committee How It Works

"BEST CHECK ON EARTH"

Hearings on the proposed budget
system opened today when Gov. Frank
10. Lowden of Illinois explained to a
special House committee the workings
of the budget system of Illinois. Ex-
travagance. inefficiency and inevitable
overlapping of activities in many de-
partments, he said. have been elimi-
mated through adoption of such sys-
tenn.
The best check on earth Gov. Low
den said, for expenses is the abolition
|of useless boards and commissions ana
officials, substituting de-
partments with an individual at the
head of each. Estimates are now sub
mitted embracing everything possible
and there iS no tendency toward econ

often accused of appropriating too
much money for various departments,
Tut that requests were pared down and
money saved.

"The trouble is that there is no
thought of economy in the depart

Gov Lowden, explaining the Illinois
budget. said a department Of finance
has been created which provides a
uniform system of bookkeeping, &C
counting and reporting and exercises a
general supervision of finances of the
state. Such a department in federal

decrease appropriations now thought
necessary. but would teach economy in
