some $4,000 insurance has been all
lowed to lapse and there has been

PRESIDENT ABLE
TO WRITE MESSAGE
Effort, However, Is Not Indica.
tive of Decided Improve
ment in Condition

Washington, oct 21.-While President
Wilson was able to-day to formulate n
message to Secretary Lane for trans
mission to the national industrial con-
ference, no effort was made either by
Rear-Admiral Grayson, his physician. or
by White House officials to create the
impression that the action was indicative
of decided Improvement in the Presi-
dents condition.
Writing Of the message, however. was
pointed to by members of the White
House staff as further refuting reports
that Mr.. Wilson was unable to transact
any necessary business that might re-
qulre his attention IS chief executive.
The situation confronting the national in
dustral conference or which may face
II at any time through danger OF lite dis
solut lion, was considered as constituting
such a necessity.
While the President. it was said at
the White House. was no worse to-day,
his condition did not show any decided
change for the better as might be in
ferred from his increasing activity in
governmental affairs To-nigh,s bulletin
said:
THE President felt stronger to-day.
He tried to do more than he has hereto
fore done since his illness began. AS
consequence he Is very tired tonight"
DR.. Grayson made it plain he does
not propose to let the incident OF the
message serve as precedent for lowering
the bars to all who may have affairs OF
state to bring before the patient, The
gradual improvement in the Presidents
condition has been noted, but it was
again emphasized the daily change is so
slight as to be almost imperceptibe and
is to be measured at first more by the
absence Of complications than by signs
Of returning strength.

CLEMENT FAvORS
THE BUDGET BILL
Vermont Governor Commends
New Measure introduced in

New York. Oct Elm the active con-
sideration by the House Of Representa-
tives of the bill prepared by the select
committee on the budget, Governor Perci-
val w. Clement, chairman Of the Vermont
State organization of the national budget
committee, sees the first step that has
been taken by Congress to give the nation
a more responsible government.
Great Impetus has been given the bud
get movement throughout the country
by the introduction in the House of the
bill framed by the select committee on
the budget" Governor Clement said in
an interview yesterday. THE bill con-
forms closely to the kind Of legislation
advocated by the national budget COM
mittee. 1t is the first time in the history
Of the nation that the Congress has shown
a desire to consider budgetary legisla-
ton"
Commenting on the results to be accom-
plished through the Incorporation Of a
genuine budget system in our federal
government. Governor Clement said:
Through the preparation Of a budget by
a bureau of experts in the Office of the
President, Implications in departmental
activities will be eliminated. This alone
will bring about great annual saving
OF public money.
I'm Congress, the concentration of APP
propriating power in a single committee
authorized to report on the Presidents
budget. will curb Objectionable legisla-
tive practices that In the past have been
costing the country millions of dollars
each year
I'm addition, the new system will pro-
vide Congress with independent audit and
control Of all expenditures authorized.
Our public debt arising out of the
world war is great: and constantly in
creasing governmental activities annually
demand greater expenditures. Many of
these activities are not only worthless,
but positively harmful; yet. having been
once installed, 1t is difficult to weed
them out. because operators are always
DESTROYS OF hanging onto government
Job. 1t is necessary. therefore. that the
budget system be adopted as a medium
Of economy and efficiency in government
administration"
1t was announced by the national bud
get committee yesterday that 80 Gov
ernors have to date endorsed the COM
mittee's countrywide campaign in the
interest of the proposed budgetary re-
form. An unanimous endorsement of the
campaign Is expected to result from the
canvass Of the State executives.
