Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., Nov. 22.
A reorganization OF the Government
finance divisions in accordance with an
4 effective and economical budget system
will be started early in the term of
President-elect Harding. Representative
James T.. Good (Iowa), chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee. said
to-day.
Mr. Good hopes to have the budget bill
passed at the short session of Congress
in order to make certain that this means
of economy will be functiontnE In suffi-
cient time to prepare the annual esti-
mates for Congress in December. 1921.
The measure already has passed the
House, after being amended TO meet OBJ
sections raised by President Wilson in
vetoing 1t, but has not been acted on by
sthe Senate for the second time. If. be-
cause OF the jam of other legislation, it
should not become law during the short
session. Mr.. Good plans to force action
on it eerly in the special session of the
Sixty-seventh Congress, which President
elect Harding will call soon after
March 4.
The budget system, under which large
economies in Government expenditures
are expected. will be put into effect as
lar as the House is concerned soon after
the reconvening Of Congress on Deem
Der 6, Mr. Good says. Regardless of the
outcome of the bill providing for the
establishment Of the budget system in
the executive department the House at
its last session provided by resolution
Tor budget committee of thirty-five
members to frame all appropriation bills.
heretofore the appropriation bills have
been framed by ten committees. including
an appropriation committee Of twenty
one members.
1T is very important" Mr.. Good said,
that as soon as Mr. Harding is inaugu-
rated he should be in a position to ap-
point Immediately his budget force He
must do this in March so that the work
of reorganization OF the Federal depart
ments to reduce overlapping and dupli-
cation to a minimum can be done before
1t is time to start the preparation Of the
budget for Congress in December, 1921
Unless it is done early in March the
chances are that the budget system can
not be made effective for another year
and millions will be again wasted.
1T is essential to the government
service to get the most efficient organi-
cation as soon as possible R we are to
make any real progress in tax reduc-
ton"

Nothing can give a more striking
idea of this ompipotence than the con-
nscation by the financial adviser, aided
by the American Minister of the salaries

Gasoline Output Set
Record in September
WASHINGTON, Nov. ga

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--All
gasolene records were
broken during September, the
Bureau of Mines announced to-
day. Refiners produced daily

with 2,90O,000,000 gallons during
the same period in 1919.
Consumption and exports con-
tinued high, however, the bureau
said, so that while storage tanks

900 gallons the amount on hand
then was actually less than that

PoRr Az PRINCE, Nov. 22.-The Amer

more oppressive than the military
President Dartiguenave declared in the
5000 word statement he made to-day
attacking the public service of Minister
Blanchard and John McIlhenny, finan-
cial adviser of the black republic.
The President charged that since
American occupation no effective aid
had been given to Hayti for develop
ment of its agricultural and industrial
resources, as stipulated in the treaty,
and that no serious measure had been
proposed with view to placing Hayus
finances on truly solid basis"
Mr. McIlhenny is in Washington, and
the Minister declined to be seen.
Calling attention to the fact that the
financial adviser, as named by him on
the proposal of President Wilson, is IN
effect a Haytian official who is paid
$4,000 year from Haytian funds, the
President said:
"ln reality, the financial adviser does
not report to the Haytian Government ;
il is the Haytian Government that he
pretends to submit to his sovereign Will.
The facts are numerous which shew the
omnipotence the financial adviser at
tributes to himself

one of the charges made by the Presi-
dent was that a single operation by
the financial adviser had cost the people
Of Hayti the loss of several million
francs.
The functions OF the adviser, said the
president required great financial expert
ence. which seems not to have been con-
sidered in the choice" and he added:
1.-THE proof is the unhappy operation
which he conducted last year for the &C
counts OF the republic. despite contrary
instructions by the Haytian Government,
he having converted into francs three
million American dollars for the best in
terests of HaytiS he explained in CONVEX
sation in October. 1919, just at the mo-
ment when the tendency of the franc to
fan was the most marked, at the eX-
change rate of nine francs and n fraction
for one dollar, while shortly afterward
the dollar was valued at about seventeen
francs. This caused us a loss of several
million francs"
Instead of devising an adequate ,~sys-
tenn of public accountability, as defined
in the treaty, the President charged that
the adviser brought about the suppress
sion of the chamber of accounts. an old
Haitian institution.
Despite all efforts OF the Government
to recoonstitute it in accordance with
the new constitution" he said. this
organ of control has been constantly re-
fused by the adviser Consequently

No Other Resources.

Outside OF customs the President said
there were no other budget resources left
under the treaty to Hayti for free dis
position toward expenses. The financial
adviser. aided by the Minister and the
military authority (which on this occa-
sion invoked martial law, decided that
these funds must be RENTED TO him"

the President concluded by saying
