extent the spending of money raised

The procedure of the annual budget
hearing is not changed to any great
extent, except that five days are al
lowed to complete the hearing, that
officials may be examined as to their
estimates by taxpayers and that the
commissioners nave little more time
in which to make corrections in the
preliminary budget.
Section 5 contains the meat in the
budget law Under this section the de-
tailed estimates as adopted become
the specific budget appropriations and
severe penalty is provided for exceed

BUDGET SYSTEM Law.

The passage by the last legislature
Of county, city and school district
budget laws places Washington in the
first rank OF states that are trying to
solve their taxation problems by the
adoption of practicable, common sense
business methods of administering
public finances, says a statement CIV
On out by the Federation of Taxpayers
Associations in an analysis of these
laws sent to the various local tax
PAYERS organizations.
Referring to the difficulty taxpayers
have experienced in the past in gath
ring the Information necessary to
make an intelligent check of the esti-
mates submitted by the various Off
Gals of their needs for the following
fiscal year and incorporated in the
annual budgets of the local govern
mental units, and also the absence of
legal penalties to prevent officials
from exceeding their estimates, the
analysis points out that the new laws
will give great assistance to tax
watching bodies and will insure that
appropriations are not exceeded The
analysis bring out the following
points:
The primary purpose of the laws is
to provide an orderly procedure for
getting information concerning past
expeditures to compare with estimates
for future expenditures and, after the
fixing of the budget. to place safe
guards around the expenditures so
that only in case of real emergencies
can they be exceeded.
Tn county budget law provides that
estimates must be filed with the coun-
ty auditor by county department heads
on or before the second Monday in
August giving detailed and itemized
estimates both Of probable revenues
from sources other than taxation and
Of all expenditures for the ensuing
year. The county commissioners are
required to set out complete road
construction program for hte year with

The American Telephone and Telegraph
Company
A small sensitive transmtter on the
speakers table and group of small
horns suspended above from which the
amplifed voices were emitted, consti-
tuted the only visible apparatus in both
the New York and Chicago audito-
RUINS. Loud speaker amplifiers and
long distance telephone lines served as
a means of uniting these two groups of
men and women into one meeting in
spite of the great handicap of distance.
Duplicate equipment was at hand
throughout the entire procedure, how
ever, in order to prevent any Interrupt
tions from marring the smoothness of
the evenings program.
That the new marvel of electrical
mechanism, evolved from prolonged de-
velopment and research which made
this meeting possible is destined to
affect sthe political and economic
machinery of the nation was voiced by
DIR. Jewett, who said, referring to it,
"Who can picture the limits of the eff
fects and influences which will flow
from the development of electrical sci
ence and electrical engineering which
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1923-06-15

have made this night possible. In truth,
we are participants in an historical
event and our children, nay even many
of us, may see the agency we here use
employed with mighty effects on con-
trolling our collective relations in state
and nation. The mechanism which we
are here using is one adapted to permit
many speakers in many distant audi
ences to be heard by all who care to
listen and take part in a common dis
cussion.
"May it not be that in this two-way
working telephone with its sensitive
transmitters and its loud-speaking re-
ceivers we have the instrumentality for
insuring simpler and better ordering
of our affairs-an instrumentality which
will enable us to derive many of the
benefits of the town meeting In the
greater conferences of our national
life?" ,
He described this newest practical
usage of the wonders of modern science
as "The successful realization of a
dream dating back to the pioneer days
of Bell himself, namely, the production
of a loud-speaking telephone which
would reproduce the human, voice, but
in stentorian tones and In many placea
simultaneously"
