THE BUDGET BILLS.

The Good bill, which has passed the house,
makes the president director of the budget sys-
tenn; the Mccormick BILL which is now before
the senate makes the secretary Of the treasury
the budget director With this exception the
bills are almost Identical in provisions. Weight
OF argument would seem to throw the decision
in favor Of the Mccormick plan. The presl-
dents duties have been multiplied too much
already and he would of necessity delegate the
actual budget supervision, whereas the secre-
tary of the treasury would from his Official
duties be naturally concerned with budget max
ing at all times. The chief executive has detail
ed work enough without being burdened with
duty requiring much time and care It 1t be
personally supervised. The report when pre-
pared would of course come to him for scrutiny
before he submitted it to congress. We have
waited so long for a budget law that it is but
justice that we get the best one possible when
it comes.

powers The constitution provides that powers
not granted to the United States under the con-
sitution are preserved to the states and the
people. Instead Of seeking social reform under
government, there has been seeking for gov
eminent control, not to enlarge the liberties OF
the people but to circumscribe them. This IS
socialism, whether preached on a soapbox or
practiced at Washington. No clearer or more
fyrceful call to common sense thinking has been
made by public speech than is this address by
DIR. Butler

RATIFICATION
Recent Primaries as Warning to
Democratic Senator'S to Lose
No Time in Voting For
Peace Treaty.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April 30.-Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. in statemen
issued here last night, declared tina
! the recent primaries were warning
! that democratic senators should LOSE
no time in voting for the ratification
Of the peace treaty. His Statement
| follows:
! "Will the democratic senator's save
| their party, serve their country, ano
1 speak peace to a troubled world? o.
will they wreck their party, arouse
| the wrath Of their nation, allow
Europe to drift back into war, and
invite return Of monarchy?
Delay in ratification may deluge
the world in blood and flood our own
country with woe. The recent pri-
maries should be warning. In Geor-
gia less than one-third of the demo.
Gratis stood for the treaty without
reservations. Two-thirds divided
about equally between ratification
with reservations and total rejection
of the treaty. In Nebraska Senator
Hitchcock's vote would not have been
worth counting if he had been COM
PEELED to rely on those who indorse
dLLIIt0C IiI tituts' liz "t'o
supported him regardless of his
Wall street contingent.
my fight was made on platform
declaring for ratification with reser-
vations already agreed upons by a
large majority of the senate. Senator
Johnson's vote is largely a protest
against the treaty and against the
OF the senators who talk
for the treaty but quarrel over reser-
yations.
Can the senators be blind to the
rising tide Of Indignation The treaty
controversy has divided the country
into two groups. The friends Of the
treaty demand immediate ratification
with the reservations already agreed
upon by two-thirds of the seventy.
nine senators who want ratification,
only on reservation
"On March 10 forty-nine of them
voted for ratification and eight were
paired in favor OF. ratification, total
fifty-seven out of seyenty-nine. The
of the treaty stand with !
the seventeen senator's thirteen re-
pubicans and four democrats) who !
object to ratification on any terms. |
There is no middle ground.
"a campaign in favor of ratifica-
ion without reservations would re-
suit in overwhelming defeat, but,
what is infinitely worse, 1t would pre-.
rent the consideration Of pressing
domestic problems and leave the old I
world to chaos. Ours is the only ma.
ion that can rescue Europe. Our
and advice today may CON
ribute more to world peace than an
irmy of million men would a year
rom now.
IF our party refuses to aid ratifi.
alton now it must share, even if it
oes not fully assume, responsibility
