WASHINGTOE. IAN. 25.-The budget
system is looming up today, the casus
beln in war for power for the next
congress.
Republican leaders aer preparing TO
fight for changes in the present system
Of appropriations when the new CON
gress meets at the call of President
elect Harding in the spring.
The present budget system is plac-
ing the control Of congress in the
hands OF a few men. according 70 Re
publican leaders.
All appropriations are now controll
ed by a committee or 35 members. this
committee being divided into seven
sub-committees. each subcommittee
having charge of certain appropriation
bills,
Five members compose each sub
committee Three members constitute
a majority of the sub committee. and
two members of the majority can con-
troll the entire work of the sub
mittee, leaders charge, and they de-
clare that it Is evident that the sub
committees are in effect in the control
of the chairman.
This is declared to be responsible for
a situation bringing congress into the

done in the way of legislation without
appropriations when controlled by g.

CLAIMS
FIGURES ARE
TWISTED

J. J. Dresser. agent for the Penn
sylvania railroad at East Chicago and
one of the city's most consistent boost
ers takes exception to the article in
Tuesdays edition OF The Times in
which is given third place among n
diana cities In building activities in
1920
Mr.. Dresser for statistical purposes
complies information relative to the
development Of the Calumet region. He
also has had occasion to reckon the
standing Of the two cities as shown
BY the estimated cost Of improvements
on building permits issued BY the city,
In 1920 the improvements in East
Chicago reached a total OF $2,554.56S
as against s2.222.237.s7 for Hammond.
The 1919 figures for East Chicago were
s2.520.O22 and for Hammond were s2.-
404.243.
This shows that East Chicago had it
on Hammond by $115.779 in 1919 and
s332.3So.63 in 1920 According to Mr.
Dresser. the American contractor, the
Chicago trade paper which made the
compilations listed in The Times
should have given East Chicago third
place on the list and slipped Hammond
down to fourth place. providing the
figures for first and second place were
correct.
