THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

"a budget is carefully calculated
summary Of the probable expenses Of
a government or other organization
for year or season, with a similar
estimate Of the means to provide rev.
enues to meet these expenses"
Many large governments follow
the budget system and find it ex-
tremely satisfactory, and it certainly
seems an intelligent and practically
ideal plan for state or city admins
tration, either of which often finds it
happy accident if revenue and ex-
penses meet, and more than often
finds additional appropriations ur-
gent, when little timely estimate
of necessary expenditure would have
mended matters materially and at
the same time, placated the dear
public, who are the less prone to
make monstrous howl if they know
where their moneys are to be expen-
ded. The budget system makes this
possible.
But it is to the home manager, par
ticularly to the house-keeper, that
we would recommend the budget sys-
tenn as the easiest, also the most eff
fcient method of apportioning home
and family finances. This means
setting aside of a certain amount
whatever in each individual case
seems possible or advisable, and par
ing down the expenditures to meet
this assigned sum. For those OF
slender or bountiful incomes, this
will alike work for the best.
SO much is set aside for the family
clothes, so much for table expense,
etc. This viii result in more in
telligent consideration by the mem
bers of the family of the value of
both food and clothing. 1t sets a
limit, and if adhered to will save
many debts and usually furnish the
opportunity for enlarging the saw
ings account at the bank.
Another important issue is that
the budget system will teach children
of the value of money. The young
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1919-10-03

sters soon learn that they will be al
lowed just SO much pocket money,
and quickly begin to deny themsel-
yes this little expense in order to
"save up" for something more desir-
ed. Through the family budget
method, they readily receive instruc-
tion in finances, that the best course
in college economics could not teach
at an older age.
At this time, when the Secretary
of the Treasury is bending every ef-
fort toward thrift propaganda, the
question of the budget system is o
pertinent one, and well worthy Of an
earnest contemplation and at least OF
trial by each and every family.

"LET THE PAPER DO IT."

SAYS the Publishers Auxiliary:
The other day several prominent
citizens Of Yazoo City were discuss
ing a local situation and thought
something should be done. After it
was found that it was unpleasant,
improbable and risky for any direct
action to be taken by any individual
or civic group, it was the consensus
of opinion it was an opportune time
for the newspaper to jump in with
both feet and force the desired &C
ton.
There isn't anything strange about
such proceedings as this, comments
the Yazoo (Miss.) Sentinel. There
is hardly week passes but the mail
brings a letter to the editor from

writer wants his name kept secret.

is asked of it by these people it

attract many new ones. The grow
