SECOND BUDGET IS
BEING PREPARED
DIRECTOR LORD READY TO USE
THE PRUNING KNIFE FREELY
IF 1T is NECESSARY.
ESTIMATES NOT so LIBERAL
Seven Agencies, Established by Gen
eraI Dawes, Are co-ordinating the
Routine Activities Of the Federal
Departments and establishments.
BY JAMES p. HoRNADAY


WashngtOu.-Thp second federal
budget is now in the course of prep
aration. Gen. Herbert ii. Lord, the
new director of the bureau of the bud |
get, Is already getting out his pruning
knife. The estimates from the various .
branches of the government which
must be ready for the inspection Of the /.
President Of the United States by Sep
TENDER 10 are coming in. While they |
show much Improvement over the csti- |
mates OF former years, they reveal a |
lingering disposition on the parts Of |
the chiefs Of bureaus to ask for eX-
ceedingly liberal appropriations. The !
estimates are not yet in such shape rs
would warrant the bureau OF the bud /
get IN saying whether or not the bud
get for the next fiscal year will can
for more money than was set aside
for the operation of the government
during the present fiscal year. If the
total of the estimates should exceed
the amount authorized for the present
year, 1t will certainly be reduced.
The outstanding fact about the prep
aratlon of the second budget is that
the federal government fnr tho FIRST
Inc In its history Is now transacting
its routine business according IN mod.
dern methods. Never before did it
have a complete balance sheet, and it
now has comnlete Inventories of ifs
properties, something which If never
had before. But most importunt of
ALL there are now I'm existence and in
working order ugonrips which orn ON
gagged i'm co-ordipafinr in NH matters
of routine business tho activities Of
the SEPARATE denortmonts and ostob.
