AUTOCRACY OVER BUDGETS

In some of his speeches Governor Cox has said that he would "ask congress for authority to appoint a | budget commissioner to act in the position of an executive assistant to the president" This official would ,."make recommendations on the esti- mates submitted by the heads of departments and bureau chiefs" and under him, said MT. Cox should be grouped all the distinctly service branches of the government, so that all branches may be served from one centralized administrative control" He would analyze estimates from the administrative departments and would also bring the results of his studies of economy and efficiency to the president in the form of con- den could act"
 In effect the president, aided by his budget commissioner, who would be directly responsible to him and
 
 nent and of congress, would tell con- gross how much money he wanted and for what purposes, and all that congress would have to do would be to raise and appropriate the money. Congress would have no means of assuring itself that money had been spent as appropriated of that it should have been spent though un- appropriated, or that appropriations had not been exceeded. It could simply give or refuse what the presi- dent asked, but in place of the many hands extended for money there would be the one big presidential hand backed by all the power of the executive office.
 In order to insure economy there is needed an official responsible to the money-providing department, which is congress, and independent of the spending departments, an of- ficial who would audit all expendi- lures and would analyze all estimates in order to inform congress whether money asked was needed and whether money spent had been prop erly spent. Congress provided such an official in the bill passed at the last session and secured his indepen- dence of the spenders by providing that congress alone should have the power to remove him. On account of that provision. President Wilson vetoed the bill. : MT. Cox had already asked the people to approve MT. Wilson's claim to autocratic control of foreign af- fairs, including power to make treat ies and to call on the senate to sign here" He now proposes to ex- tend autocratic power to the billions which the government spends yearly and to aggravate the evil of central ization, which is one of the causes of waste and inefficiency.

Tries to Give Away Platt National Park

DLATT National park in Oklahoma
1 was established in 1902. It con-
tains but S4S acres. It has sulphur
and bromide springs of medical value.
Last year it attracted about $4,000 Wis
itOrs, most of them from the adjacent
city of Sulphur So Plat is hardly
up to the standard of the national
parks. 1t is slated to be reduced to
a national monument.
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
of SIT 600, which has gradually been
decreased TO $4,000 for fiscal year
1920. While the national park items
in the sundry civil bill were being con-
sidered in the house just before ad-
journment, Harreld of Oklahoma Of
fered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from $4,000 TO $4,000.
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee, offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for a transfer of the park to the state
of Oklahoma and, in case of the failure
or refusal Of Oklahoma to accept the
park, for the sale of the park either
by sealed proposals or by public auc-
ton, the proceeds to go to the treas
ury.

Labor and binder twine
On the eve of the harvesting sea-
son the wheat-growers' thoughts turn
to these two necessary items, particu-
larry the former which caused him
much worry during the years of the
war. OF course, labor is the chief
problem, but binder Irvine is some
thing that must be reckOned with as
well, and in its own way is a very
important feature in the harvesting
operations.
The wheat-grOwer need have no ap-
prehensiOn as to the supply of binder
Irvine this season. Reports coming to
the bureau of plant industry indicate
that there will be a plentiful supply
of this commodity available for the
American farmer. Not only will it
be plentiful, but it is likely to be
cheaper this year than for some years
past.

Irvine is made-produced a large crop

BRAND TUBERcULoUs cATTLE
New York Commissioner Of AarieuI-
ture Orders Letter at" Put on
Affected Animals.

By a recent order Of the New York
commissioner of agriculture, all prac-
ticing veterinarians in that state are
required to brand cattle found by
them TO be affected with tuberculosis
The order specifies that the brand
shall be the letter ''T' not less than
2 or more than 8 inches high and on
the left jaw.
The new regulation. which became
effective in March. was issued by Com
missioner Charles s. Wilson under au-
thority Of the agricultural law. The
order applies TO all bovine animals
within the limits of the state. Vet
Urinary experts of the United States
department of agriculture consider it
will be of great value to livestock
breeders of New York and also an i'm
pOrtant step for any state to take in
the progress of tuberculosis eradica-
ton. ReactOrs are permanently mark
ed by the branding process and in
cases where they are not slaughtered
the possibility of their being disposed
OF or losing their identity IS greatly
lessened, If not entirely eliminated.

Recess Appointments of President Wilson

FAILURE of congress to act on near
i ly 200 executive appointments be-
fore adjournment, combined with a
number Of vacancies now existing, or
expected to occur soon in government
al departments and the diplomatic
service, is expected to lead to a num-
Der of recess appointments by Presi-
dent Wilson. While the larger portion
Of the uncOnflrmed nominations are
postmasters Of the lower grades, ap-
pointments to a number Of important
offices were not acted on by the
senate.

making these recess appointments

all the fiber necessary for the present
needs have already been imported to
the United States.
Although there is no danger for
this years Irvine supply. officials OF
the department of agriculture are
somewhat apprehensive over the effect
that the low prices for fiber prevailing
now will have upon the production
Of henequen during the next few years.
Low prices, according to reports to
the department, are leading the grow
ers in Yucatan to reduce their plant
ing, with the result that real short
age of the fiber five or six years hence
is a very likely possibility.
The labor outlook is not so cheer
full. The supply of hired farm labor
is about 70 per cent of the normal.
Although no appropriation was made
by congress this year for carrying on
the department of agricu1ture's war
time activities in aiding the farmers
to get laborers, the department is do
ing what it can TO assist farmers with
this problem. The state directors of
extension and the county agents are
aiding in bringing together farmers
and men who want jobs on farms.
Calls for "Shock Troops"
Results are expected from the ap-
peal of Secretary Of Agriculture Mere
dith 20 city men, college students. and
others to spend their vacations work
ing on farms, particularly as helpers
in harvest fields. Frequent inquiries
are being received by the department
from university and college students
as to where their services could best
be used. The need for the now fam
Gus "ShOck trOOpS''-volunteer helpers
from the city who shocked wheat
that gave such a good account of them
selves in the harvest fields during the
war is believed to be as urgent this
year as in those trying days. The
mobilization of these forces is what
Secretary Meredith is seeking to &C

According to reports of the depart

mated need. Nebraska requires 5000
additional men for its harvest, and
Oklahoma. 1000 or 5000. No figures
have been received as to the require

though, that the labor shortage there
will be largely met by the workers in
