II Congress increases the amount
allotted by the Bureau Budget and
the President, it is liable to be vetoed
by the President.
General Charles Dawes established
the budget and set it in motion. He
launched a complete governmental
business organization that meets twice
a year with the President, and out.
lines a policy and lays plans for bal
ancing the budget.
! This is really a meeting of the
board of directors of Uncle Sans bust
ness, the biggest business in the
world. Every department of govern
ment is represented except Congress
and the Supreme Court.
There are 43 budget officers. They
act as laison officers between the
departments and the Bureau OF the
Budget and are the agents of the
heads of the departments in the per-
formance of their departmental duties.
Under this system all governmental
contracts are standardized, all pur-
chases made uniform and all activities
co-or rdinated This system is extended
all over the country by means Of feder-
al business associations developing co
operation and teamwork.
In this way the people are begin
ming to realize what a business
Sam is conducting. A glance back 1876
years Ito 1880 will show what husky
man he is and how his business has
grown since the First Congress met.
In 1889 the population was less than
100000; today it is 112,000,000.
The first Congress, September %,
1889, appropriated s639oOO for the en-
tire civil list. that is, the depart
ment employees, the War department,
past due warrants of the Treasury and
pensions. February II, 1871, Congress
appropriated sS27,696 for the civil list,
miscellaneous, war and pensions.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1924, the total expenditures of the
federal government were about 49,.
700, 900, 900. The estimated expendi'
lures next year will be about 3d.

EDWIN GOULD VISITS
DELTA CHUM OF KYFFIN

Delta was visited Wednesday after.
noin for a short time by Edwin Could.
son Of the famous Jay Gould OF New
York With him we're Mrs. Gould,
their son and a college chum and the
latter's sister.
The party is touring the United
States in a Marmon car, coming
through from their home In st. Louis.
to Mesa Verde National Park. From
there they came through here to
Grand Mesa where they will spend
several days. They will then 20 to
Colorado Springs and other Eastern
Slope cities for short time before go
ing 20 Yellowstone Park. and thence
to California. Touring along the coast
they will go around the southern end
of North America, through the Paaa.
ma canal and then up through Florida
10 St Louis.
The identity OF the visitors would
probably not have been discovered

QUITE THE FASHION

Life insurance is becoming quite
the fashion. New York has taken out
a policy on the 81. 900 members OF its
National Guard and will deduct the
premiums from their pay. A legis-
lative act made this procedure poss-
ible; and. given an approving legis-
lature, still other large groups OF
state employees might come under the
system. One may even suppose that
some daS all citizens will be covered
by life insurance for which the prem
ium will be added to their taxes.

LYCEUM

THE editor Of the Courier Reporter
has convinced himself that the
people of Kennewick do not want
Lyceum. This conviction has been
forced upon him from about IL years.
experience on the local guarantee
committee
Last year there was deficit. The
year before there was a larger def
cit and for Is years a deficit has
been the rule and not the exception.
Each year community interest in
Lyceum grows less, it becomes more
and more difficult to dispose of sea-
son tickets, and the individuals at
titude that of accommodation to the
local committee rather than desire
for Lyceum.
The Courier Reporter is of the
opinion that Kennewick is not alone
in this respect. The financial report
of the Ellison-W White Lyceum and
Chautauqua association for the sea-
son 1929 has just been received.
1t shows that the net loss of the Ly-
ceum department was $4,924. Dur
ing the same period the six-day
Chautauqua showed a net gain of
$11,569. The seven-day circuit show
ed a gain of nearly $4,000 and the
ive-day circuit small loss.
These figures indicate that Chau-
tauqua is being burdened with de-
partment that the people no longer
desire nor appreciate.
