1.-THE department heads are selected

they have the confidence of the Presi-

Continued from First Page.)

ing that the laws be faithfully ex-
ecuted. He should be given by Con-
gress the opportunity to say to that
body how much he thinks it will take
to run the government effectively and
give his reasons therefor and give
them in great detail. through the as
sistance Of reports and estimates from
his departmental heads and his bureau
chiefs, modified as he thinks they
ought to be. The budget should con-
tain an estimate of the revenues for
the coming year under permanent
law. and. If the revenues need to be
increased, recommendations for the
measures by which such increases can
be secured. Such a budget is bound
to contain a discussion Of the state
of the Union from the financial stand
point. and a review Of the experience
for the recommendations and the
estimates submitted. A budget Of that
kind is a very elaborate and inform
ing document, into which the Presi-
dent may be expected to put his per-
sonality and his general Views for
consideration and acceptance or re-
lection by the legislative branch.
I'm my time. and I believe today,
there Is no provision for any suspen-
sion Of estimates by the President.
There is nothing but the formal trans
mission of estimates by the heads Of
departments through the Secretary OF
the Treasury to Congress. There is
no provision for an Intervention OF
the President in this procedure un-
less there be a deficit OF some sort, as
recollect the Smith law. Then the
President is to recommend how such a
deficit may be met.

criticises "Alternative" Budget.

ct observe that in the Good bill
there is a provision for an alternative
budget; that the budget stan to be
created for the President is to submit
a budget that in effect is not much
more than what the Secretary of the
Treasury now submits in his book of
estimates. I think that is a defect
in the bill. If you are going to have
a budget you should have a budget;
If you are going to have simple
book Of estimates and Congress is to
consider what each department head
and each bureau chief thinks he
ought to have, then you would better
continue the old system. II you have
the alternative budget the commit
tees In Congress are likely to take
proceed to act on that. and the execu-
tive budget. coming from the Presi-
dent will become nothing but a basis
of reference. and will have but little
authority. The President will thus be
discouraged in making 1t, and you
will create so-called budget stan
for the President. which will be act
ing merely as medium between the
departments and Congress, without
any influence by him. I think that is
a very serious defect in the Good Dill.
You cannot have two systems. Either
the President is to take the estimates
and be responsible for the budget. or
Congress will continue the present
system. That is human.
"One of the difficulties now Is that
the bureau chiefs and department
| heads are in a kind Of competition to
secure appropriation from the COM
mittees appropriating Tor their re-
spective bureaus and departments. This
is wholly without the knowledge of
the President and often contrary to
| his wishes. IL he were consulted. It
tends to induce extravagance.

Chiropracic
Schools

Eat the Palmer School of Chiro-
&actic.u.Davenport, Iowa, is
und the largest clinic in this
spsrx IF not in the world.
Ah6n 500 people receive chiro-
p56Etse djustments daily. Near
II every diseased condition
lnoyn to the scientific world has
en found there. Students are
bEought in actual contact with
these patients, their progress is
watched and studied from their
admittance to their discharge.
About 800 students are enrolled
yearly. A faculty of twelve
teachers who devote their entire
time to teaching is required to
properly teach the science.
Laboratories, chemical, ETC., and
one of the largest X-Ray plants
in the United States is MAIN
tanned to photograph and study
subluxations. Two health homes
also furnish material for the
school. The school takes nearly
an entire city block.
The education of a chiroprac-
tor is not a question of "few
hours in the evening"" but is a
question of nearly 5000 hours
of training under an experienced
faculty with expensive equip
ment. Twenty-seven states re-
quire by law that the chiroprac-
tor be properly trained and so
prove it by examinations.
1t is only reasonable to sup
pose that if less equipment and
a asmaller faculty would answer
the purpose that schools would
not carry the extra expense of
maintaining larger institutions.
Select your chiropractor with
as much care as you would your
dentist or physician. Be sure he
>0btained his experience in school
and not on you. Names in the
classified section of the telephone
directory under "Chiropractic

each department and each bureau to
run, and that he should have means of
noting by comparison the difference
between one department and another
in the cost Of the same functions.

REVIEW OF SITUATION

From the n Y. Evening Post Financial Bureau.
NEW YORK, October If this
were an ordinary year and the stock
exchange, as the indicator of legiti-
mate hope or doubt over the general
situation were moving as it ordinarily
does, it would not be hard to sum-
marize the influences which would
govern it.
Undoubtedly in the financial and
economic condition of the United
States it's outlook for the future would
be the first consideration. Harvests,
the state of our foreign trade and the
foreign exchanges. the banking posi-
tion and the money markets attitude
would be dominant influences. Ger
tainly these signs of the day, if con-
sidered as they would have been con-
| sidered on their face in any pre-war
year, would have indicated great
prosperity. and would have found en-
thusiastic reflection in the stock ex-
change.
View of Internal Conditions.
AS a general statement, it could be
affirmed at the present moment that
internal trade is extremely active,
ployment The harvests of 1919 would
be properly described as disappoint-
ing in the light of the seasons earlier
expectations, our wheat yield in par
ticular being three hundred million
bushels below the government es-
innate of June and our cotton crop
likely to result in the smallest yield
of the past ten years.
But even with these crope it would
remain to be said that the wheat
despite the mild summer losses. would
probably turn out the second largest
harvest in our history. and that the
