in New York, if the retiring governor,
Smith, a Democrat, should prepare a
budget for the incoming governor, Mil
Ter. Il Republican? The members of the
committee, outside of the state treasurer,
auditor of accounts, director of state in
situations, which constitutes the board of
control, with members representing the
finance and appropriation committee of
the senate, representatives of the appro-
priation and the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of two years ago,
constitute a budget committee to pre-
pare a budget for the Incoming legisla-
ture.
These men. outside the elective off
Gals, represent an administration that
has passed into history with its work
completed and cannot possibly have that
keen sense of responsibility that would
attach to members of the incoming leg
slaturc. Some of the board of control
cannot be entirely free to render an I'M
biased opinion in deciding what increased
expense should be recommended.
For instance. the director of state in
stitutionS unquestionably sees a great

large number of improvements that
ought to be made. that has always been
so and always will be- This places him
in rather embarrassing position and
one that has a tendency to appeal to
his sympathies rather than to his better
Judgment. MS Is the very CONDITION
that is complained of in congress Tn
der the present system the various de-
partmentS submit their estimates, but
they are much interested in obtaining
all their estimates call for. and it has
been found impossible to have an eco

these conditions obtaining.
Hence. the demand for budget COM

incoming governor as chairman, the au-

Budget for 1921 Excessive.
As to the particular budget submitted.
it would seem that the amount recon-
mended is excessive. The increase of
the current expenses amount approx

period. PROFESSIONALLY certain of their
recommendations ought to meet with the
approval of tire legislature. Is this not
an inopportune time to increase the bur-
den of taxation to any such extent as
is recommended by the budget commit
tee?
In this connection | wish to submit
an observation your letter does not in
vite. For several years there has been
more or less sentiment expressed in ia
vor of having the governor live at Mont
pelier The state should purchase gov
errors home and he should give his IN
divided attention to the various inter
ests of the state. Today conditions are
entirely different from 10 to 20 wears
ago. Turning to the budget committees
estimate, they recommend an expendi-
ture of over six million for the bien-
MUM. Practically three million a year.
A private business that was responsible
for that amount of money would GER
tainly want a general manager to give
his best service 1t is not possible to
obtain a thoroughly efficient administra-

Blood Infusion.

In cases where new blood is re- quired to fill the depleted veins of human being, 1t is not practicable to use for the purpose the vital fluid of dog or any other animal, because it would act as a poison, destroying life instead of saving 1t.
 This is for the reason that the blood of a lower animal Is not chemically the same as that of a man. The fact does not seem very surprising, but the recent discovery that the various races of mankind differ in respect to the chemical makeup of their blood is undeniably curious.
 Experience has proved that 1t will not do to introduce the blood of ne- gro into the veins of white man or vice versa. And the same remark ap- plies to the Mongol, the Malay and the American Indian. In any such cases a chemical reaction follows which is injurious.
