various reasons, including possible
new legislation, the operations Of the
shipping board, the railroad admins
tration, and tluctuatlon in current re-
ceipts of the postotlice department,
cannot be predicated at this time, the
above amount is that much of a con-
tribution to more favorable relation.
This fine response to your request
from the heads of the departments
ami independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs. incidental to your assump-
ton of responsibility as the business
head of governmental administration,
infers the existence in their minds of
three principles involving improve
ment In governmental business, which
should not be overlooked.
First. that the business organiza-
ton of government hereafter assumes
that the minimum amount of money
to be expended in any fiscal year Is
not, of necessity, the sum appropri-
ated in advance by congress, but the
smallest amount upon which the bust
ness of the government can be eff
GENTLY administered under the pro-
gram outlined by congress.
Second, that the minds of the bust
ness administrators of government
have been diverted from a too easy
reliance upon the custom.of deficiency
appropriations
Third. that where congress has d.
rected the expenditure of certain sums
for specific purposes, an executive
pressure will now be exerted for more
efficient and economical administration
in order to produce greater result from
the given expenditure. and also wher-
ever possible, 10 complete the given
project for a less amount than the
total appropriated for the purpose
The budget system was established
because Of an acute public interest In
the expenditures of government ac'
lively and continuously displayed by
| the tax payers. 1t was established in
response to public demand. The
house of representatives has changed
| its way of appropriating money to con
/ form to the budget system, II has
only one great appropriation commit
tee which authorizes all the expendl
lures for the house. The senate hat
not followed suit. II this newly In
stalled budget system is to be a sue
cess 1t must have your active supper
and understanding and derive an adde
authority from your approval and sup
port.

WRITE TO THESE MEN.

individual members Of congress In a
hundred skillful, shrewd. subtle ways
arguments to support the legislation
they are seeking 10 advance. 1t would
take two or three columns Of this
newspaper merely to print list Of
the organizations and associations that
are here to keep congress mindful Of
their interests.
In this great clamOr the common
public interest is likely to be sub
merged In fact. too often II has been
submerged This matter Of economies
aud recognizing the business Of the
government and taking up the tedious
details Of administration is a duh bush
ness. Ii has been neglected and put
off time after time because Of a lack
of pubic interest and driving force
behind it,
If you win supply this driving force
now and display a sustained interest,
you can at least put the business of
government Of the United States on
an efficient basis, Congress has been
negligent because you have been negli-
gent, but now at last the thing has
run along so far that something must
be done about It.

CHAPTER VI

Vacation, in spite of increased leis-
ure, may bring inconvenience TO people
in Ramsey's strange but not uncom-
mon condition. At home his constant
air was that Of a badgered captive
plalntively silent under injustice; and
he found it difficult to reply calmly
when asked where he was gOing-an
inquiry addressed to him, he asserted,
every time he touched his cap even
to hang it upl
The amount Of evening walking he
did must also nave been a trial TO his
nerves, on account Of fatigue, though
the ground covered was not vast Nil
las mother and father were friendly
people, but saw no reason to move
out Of house and home" as Mr. Rust
said, when Milla had callers" and
on account of the intimate plan OF
their small dwelling a visitors only
alternative to spending the evening
with Mr.. and Mrs. Rust as well as
with Mllla, was to invite her 10 go
out walking"
Eve1ing after evening they waIked
and walked and walked, usually In
company-at perhaps the distance OF
hsif a block--with Albert Paxton and
Sadie Clews, though Ramsey now and
then felt disgraced by having fallen
into this class; for sometimes II was
apparent that Albert casually had his
arm about Saddles waist This alured
Ramsey somewhat, but terrified him
more. He didn't know how such mat
tiers were managed.
Usually the quartet had no destina-
ton; they just went "out walking
until ten O'clock, when both girls had
to be home-and the boys did, too,
but never admitted it. On Friday eve
nings there was a "public opeD-air con-
cert" by a brass band in a small parA,
and the four were always there.

girl who dressed In better taste and
seemed TO have some notion of refine

ural she wouldn't. with q father who
is Just sort of ward politician, I I'M
derstand, and a mother we don't know,

on, Ramsey! If you had to make your
self so conspicuous why couldn't you
be a little bit more fastidious? Your
father wouldn't have minded nearly so
much II it had been a self-respecting,
intellectual girl. We both say that II
you must be so ridiculous at your age
as to persist in seeing more Of one girl
than another, why. oh, why, don't you
go and see some really nice girl ike
Dora Yocum?"
Ramsey was already dangerously
distended, as an effect of the earlier
part of her discourse, and the word
''fastidious" almost exploded him; but
upon this climax, Dora Yocum," he
blew up with shattering report and,
leaving fragments of indifference rico
chetting behind him, fed shudderinE
from the house.
For the rest Of the school term he
walked home with Milla every after
noon and on Sundays appeared to have

The chief defects, or places where
waste is apparent in the conduct Of
the business of the government, that
have pointed out in these articles,
have been, first, the excessive proper
ton of the government income that
went for military expenditures; Sec
ond, the chaotic condition and lack
of adequate supervision and control
of expenditures, which have been in
part remedied by the introduction of
the budget system; and third. the hap
hazard organization of the govern
ment departments and the morgan
ICED condition that prevailed in gov
eminent employment.
The remedy for two Of these cOndi-
tons / have treated briefly In the
two Immediately preceding articles. l
come now to the matter of reorganiza-
ton of the departments and the re-
classification of government EN-
ployees A beginning has been made
on both of these matters.
A joint committee Of the two houses
Of congress, with walter f. Brown US
chairman, is studying the whole ques-
ton of organization Of the government
and the function Of the various de-
partrnents and bureaus and independ-
ent establishments. l cannot too
strongly advise you to keep yourself
IN contact with the work that joint
committee Is doing.

members Of the committee n another

and Moore Of Virginia. Write to any
of them or to Mr. Brown, the chair
man of the committee, who represents
the President, with headquarters In
the house Office building here AZ Wash
ington.
This is the third or fourth attempt
that has been made TO effect general
reorganization Of the conduct Of the
business Of the executive departments.
They have all failed through lack OF
interest. There was lack Of public in
terest, and consequently lack Of inter
est in congress.
This Joint committee Is at work now.
1t is collecting facts. II Is finding out
the actual condition. It is studying
the departments. Presently It will
make a report to congress. II you

The next morning Ramsey came into
his fathers room while Mr.. MiIholland
was shaving, an hour before church

"No, sir. You gay me some Fri

Mr.. Milholland turned from his mir
For and looked over the edge Of a
towel at his son. In the boys eyes
there was such a dumb agony Of inter-
Sogation that the father was a little
startled.
"Why, what is it. Ramsey? Have
you" He paused, frowning and won
dering. "You haven't been getting IN
to some mess you want to tell me
about, have your"
"No, SIR"
His tone was meek, but a mute dis
tress lurked within it, bringing to the
fathers mind disturbing suspicious,
and foreshadowings of indignation and
Of pity. "See here, Ramsey" he said,
If there's anything you want to ask
me, or to tell me, you'd better out with
1t and get it over. Now, what is it?"
WELT isn't anything"
"Are you sure?"

and piercing gaze of his father. "Yes.

The remedy is already being applied
TO remove some of the conditions l
nave described. A budget plan has
been put into effect A director of the
budget, in the person of Gen. Charles

flee General Dawes is at work now
trying TO find out In detail where the
money comes from which you pay to
run the government and where 1t goes

among the spending agencies of the
government. He is just at the begin
ming of his big task. but the work has
begun. That is the important thing.

vides for the presentation by the
President of regular and alternative
budget of the United States to congress

Recognizing in the budget machinery

which executive policy and pressure

assembled on June %. 1921, for the
first time, the heads OF departments
and Independent organizations and bu-
reau chiefs. aad after announcing a
government policy of economy and eff
