The rapid progress made this ses-
sion with the appropriation bills Is
a striking tribute to the efficiency Of
the budget system. Several appro-
priation bills have already gone to
the President. In other years no ap-
preparation acts used to go to him
until after the Christmas recess.
Il was one of the main argu-
ments in favor of fhe budget
method that 1t would lift an un-
necessary burden from the shoulders
Of a hard-driven Congress. This re-
lief was especially desirable If the
short session was to continue TO be
a feature OF the Federal calendar,
for in an ordinary short session of
the old type practically nothing
could be done beyond voting money
for the support of the government.

izer of the first executive budget
system in our history by coming
vigorously to it's defense and, as
Il happens, in field which espe-
cially wants airing, the postoffce.
No one has ever really known where
our postal service stood, We have
been handed out what the depart
ment wanted to appear, and though
we have had evidence enough OF In
efficiency in operation, the public
assumption generally--and vaguely
is that the service virtually pays
its keep and Is a model of economy
and competence.
Gen, Dawes is ~ interested in
all that. He is infested IN saving
the system he stablished. now re-
sisted, as he said it was and would
be, by bureauerats. But the pub
lie is interested not only IN the pro-
lection of the budget system, but
also in the facts which the Post
office Department evidently did not
want the public to know.
We want executive reports which
give conditions as they are and in
such form as the average business
man at least can understand. We
want the budget system made an so-
tuality and bureau ehiefs-snd de-

the higher cost OF materials incident
to general imitation.
True. the average citizen is paying
more taxes than he did in 1914, but
the average citizen also is drawing
more money than he did in 1914
for what he does. The farmer
scarcely can be counted into this
statement. His situation in the last
two or three years has been pscu-
liar, and Il is that fact which makes
the agricultural problem so seri-
ous.
Aside from the fact that we have
huge war bills to pay and that we
as a government are going In more
for road building. education. social
welfare and other things than we
used to do, we are not far from the
basis OF 1914 IN what we are putting
up to maintain the national struc-
ture. The careful thinker will not
overlook the fact, OF course, that his
state and local units in government
are costing a lot more than they
formerly cost. and this, too, partly
for the reason that government IL
assuming more and more burdens
in behalf OF the public welfare.
Virtually all the new undertsk-
ings have been assumed in response
TO strong popular demand. The
kernel of the whole problem Is not
so much what we are spending in
public funds as what we are getting
for what we spend. II there is a
dollars worth Of good or service
for each dollar spent, then It may be
said we are taking out of govern
ment all that we are putting into IT,.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The average person OF today does
not think; ne accepts the thoughts
OF others. That is the conclusion Of
President Marion L. Burton. of the
University OF Michigan. The aver
age person runs away from an idea
he does not agree with, says DR..
Burton: he Is afraid of unpopular
ity, failing to understand that popu-
larity is merely the casual ideas Of
a great many people and does not
make truth. The active mind, the
doctor adds. looks popularity in
the eye and says Go To" he
thinks the truth regardless Of popu-
larity."
A strong indictment. but when
you reflect how many people vote
TO he on the winning side and OF
like examples of the fear of un
popularity II must be confessed DR..
Burton has It sized up about right.
Have you ever, he asks. made a

French Cabinet Situation
(From the Washington Post)

In spite 'of the imposing majority
obtained by NJ. Poincare in recent
sitting Of the French chamber, his
position Is none too strong. The
vote was not a direct expression Of
confidence in the policy of the cab
met over which he presides. The
chamber only voted 10 adjourn for
month the Interpolation which,
IL IL had been pushed to its logical
conclusion and a division taken on
it. might have brought down the
ministry or maintained It by such a
small majority as to be equivalent to
defeat.
There were many reasons why the
chamber should not want TO pro-
woke a crisis. One was the fact
that M. Poincare Is in charge of the
delicate negotiations at Lausanne
and Is preparing for the still more
important interallied conference at
Brussels. ANY change of govern
ment at the present juncture would
be equivalent TO swapping horses
while crossing stream" Then there
is the season of the year. The
Christmas and New Year holidays
are known in Paris as the "treve de
cenfiseurs," the candy makers
truce" There Is tacit convention
that during the festive season no
political action shall be undertaken
such as might disturb the public
mind.
But the fact that the chamber
only voted the Adjournment of the
Interpolation on the policy Of the
cabinet for a month and did not re-
