tBy Associated Press. !


WASHINGTON. June 4.-President
Wilson tonight vetoed the bill es-
tablishing national budget system.
and an unsuccessful attempt was
made In the House to pass the meas
ure over his veto.
The vote was 1T3 to lo3, or nine
less Than the required two-t third,
majority. Thirty-nve Democrats
joined with the Republicans in vot-
Ing to pass the measure.
The vote came at midnight and
when the motion 20 override was
defeated leaders were undecided
what would he their next move. Sup
porters of the measure were expect
ed. however. to urge that II be
amended to meet the Presidents OBJ
jections and repaSsed tomorrow
The President said that under the
bill Congress- would have authority
10 remove the comptrolier-genera
from office, and that this authority
should be reserved to the executive
department.
Notifying Congress that he was re-
turning the bin without his sigma

by concurrent resolution of Con-

In their judgment. the compt roller

has been guilty of neglect of duty,
or of malfcasance of Office, or OF any
felony or conduct involving moral

Of Congress. II has. think. always
been the accepted construction of the
Constitution that the power to ap-

Congress is without constitutional
powers TO limit the appointing power
