When / was approached to allow my

sure that I could not expect anything
better. But i was assured if l would
take books for distribution. that they
would be shipped to me in plenty of

been greater than ever before, and
while / am entirely innocent, it is
hard to make the public believe so.
OF course the fact that the book
committee met so late in the season
and that the contracts We're awarded
late, is the cause of the delay. The
publishers say they are shipping the

Budget System Needed.

GPHE state legislature of South Da-
kota recently passed $5,OO0,0oo
appropriation bill in record breaking
time. There was no useless debate or diff
ference of opinion on the various items.
The reason for this gratifying and bust
nesslike dispatch is attributed to the fact
that the South Dakota legislature, a couple
of years ago, authorized budget board.
The board met few weeks before time
for the legislature to convene, and with the
help of the appropriation committee
worked out a sane and reasonable budget.
They studied the needs of different insti-
tuti0ns and departments for the purpose
of gaining definite information. They
got their facts and figures and then pro-
lceeded to build up the appropriation bill
III accordance with those figures.
Some day perhaps, the United States
congress will put its appropriation work
on business basis and will go about ap-
propriating public funds by means of a
workable budget plan.
Everybody knows that it can be DONE
but the United States still compels de-
partments and institutional heads to ask
for the money they need, with no assur-
ance at all that they will get as much as
they ask for. They, therefore, have 20
make rough estimates and ask for more
than they might get along with, in ORC
to allow for the temperamental "cuttinG,,
that will be done before congress gets
through with the appropriation bill Rev
enue and expenditure might as we'll be I'M
related matters for all those concerned
seem to care.
Some authorities believe that democ-
racy never can be truly efficient until gen
eral education has advanced a good deal
farther than it has today. Experts assure
us, however, that a rational budget sys-
tenn, honestly carried out, will go farther
toward making our government as eff
