tunities, he then said:
''St. Thomas on Fifth avenue, has
its pews full, has a large congrcGa-
zion and does active work; at St
Bartholomew on Madison avenue,
half the pews are vacant, its congre-
CATION is small and it's resources
,undeveloped. l shall have more to
do there; | shall have to work hard
or; therefore l am going there"
DIR. Greer was an able administra-
tor. He possessed a knowledge of
human nature that made him an
idol among thousands OF the poor.
whose betterment he persistently
sought, and at the same time he al
lied himself with the wealth and cul-
ture of the city. winning the conf
dence OF such families as the Van
derbilts and Morgans.
Parish House Monument.
1t was said at one time. during the
financial stringcncy, when there was
a great deal OF suffering in New
York. that the rector gave practical
ly his entire salary to the poor. At
the completion Of his work as rector
of st. Bartholomew in 1904 he left
as All outstanding evidence of his
labors the parish house. which Is one
of the largest church institutions in
America.
1t numbered among its features
an employment bureau. boys and
girls clubs. a surgical clinic, an eye
and ear dispensary. a loan assOcia-
ton and penny provident fund a
garden. n seaside cottage for the
children and a grocery. where food
was sold to the poor at cost.

EXHIBIT BY INTERIOR
DEPT. SUCCESSFUL

IF the Interior Department can
put up such an interesting exhibit
covering so many fields. drawing -
many people, and as a temporary
exhibition. why cannot all the de-
partments get together and have q
permanent exposition in its own
building and covering all the Gov
eminent work." That is the question
asked by Government officials at the
exhibit the Interior Department Is
showing at its building at Nine
teenth and F streets.

GOOD PLANS NEW
SYSTEM ON BUDGET

Budgetary legislation is assured
by the Sixty-siXth Congress. Both
political parties have promised II and
The President is in favor OF it
Chairman Good. Of the House Ap
preparations Committee. who has in
trOduced a budget measure in the
House, declared today that burden
some taxes to meet extraordinary eN-
penditures will prompt Congress 20
enact legislation TO eliminate waste
and extravaganza in the Govern
ment's financial operations
The bill which I have introduced

troll OF funds appropriated. BY cen
Trailing responsibility for the estl-
mates in the President and giving
Congress an independent audit and
control il provides for a more scien-
ti1c and workable system Of checks
and balances.
Estimates Due October Is.
Under the law il is the duty OF the
heads OF the several executive depart
merits and officers Of independent gov
eminent establishments TO furnish the
Secretary Of the Treasury, on or be-
for October Is Of each year. their an
nual estimates Of the funds neces-
sary for their respective departments.
for insertion in the book of esti-
mates
sUnder this law IL is the practice
for the head Of each executive de-
pzFtment to designate the head of
each bureau under him to make the
estimate Of the expenses for his bU
reau. When all the estimates from
the various bureau chiefs under a
given department are in, the head OF
that department submits his estimate
TO the Secretary of the Treasury, who
has no power to increase or diminish
it
Mr.. Good points out that under
this system. there is rivalry among
department heads to see who can
get the largest estimate, with the
result that extravaganza and inef-
ficiency has followed. In some cases
there has been duplication in the
service, he says.
Create Budget Bureau.
The Good bill provides for the
creation Of a Bureau OF the Bulge.
in the office Of the President, 1t
provides for the appointment OF a
director OF the bureau and the neces-
ssry working force. so that the
President may be furnished all the
information needed by him to pre-
pare a budget, to present to Con-
gress at the beginning of each ses-
sion
The budget will show the necessary
expenditures on the one hand and the
revenues on the other. The President
will be responsible for the budget.
Under the present law no one is re-
sponsible for the estimates.
Instead OF having each department
head acting separately, the various
department estimates will be co-or-
dinated under the Bureau of the Bud
get.
The bill further provides for
Comptroller General Of the United
States, VINO shall perform the duties
now performed by the Comptroller OF
the Treasury, the auditor Of the
Treasury Department. the War De-.
partment. the Navy Department. the
Department of the Interior, Postof-
fee Department, and other State and
executive departments. =
The Comptroller General would be
expected TO criticize extravaganza
and inefficient methods in executive
departments.
