When Uncle Sam adopted a budget
system some four years ago, Congress
IN both branches made radical changes
In the method of making appropria-
tions to conform to the budget system,
taking appropriating power from some
20 major committees and concentrat-
Ing IL in one master committee of 35
members. which in turn was reorgan-
ized along departmental lines
Then, as an ally to the Budget
Bureau, the President by executive
order set up an ONCE of chief CO.
ordinator to bring all the departments
and commissions and boards into CO.
operative efforts for efficient business
administration-whic had previously
been absolutely lacking.
Another very important innova-
tion was to assemble all the adminis-
tratiye heads of the actual working
force into business organization
which meets twice year, in January
and June, in Memorial Continental
Hall, at which time the President and
the Director of the Bureau of the
Budget outline the fiscal program so
that all agencies Of the Government
are now for the first time in history
carefully co-ordinated into co-opera-
tive effort to run the Government ef-
ficiently and economically.
In June, 1921, there was held the
first meeting Of the business organi-
zation Of the Government, when the
President presented the problem of
diminishing the cost of Government.
We had come out, of the World War
with a vastly increased public debt
and a greatly expanded public service.
1t was imperative that the rising
costs of Government should be curbed
in it's peace-time activities. These
shop managers were called together
to formulate definite policies of re-
trenchment and methods of carrying
them into effect
That was the first time in the his
tory of this Nation that the Chief
Executive personally outlined and
presented TO officials of the business
organization of the Government an
executive plan for the unified conduct
Of governmental business and re-
tyenchment in governmental expendi-
lures consistent with efficiency.
Nine such meetings of the business
organization have been held and have
become a fixture in the executive
branch OF the Government.
The Budget Bureau gathers the
estimates of appropriations made by
departmental and administrative off,
Gals. 1t goes over these to determine
which are most essential and to see
that proper apportionment OF the
funds available are made throughout
the entire service in their relative
merit These revised estimates are
then submitted TO Congress, and after
hearings the appropriation committee

of the House writes these estimates
with whatever alterations II deem9
advisable. into a series OF appropria-
ton bills. which are then acted upon
in the House and Senate, wnere addi-
tional hearings are held.
In this way all appropriations SA
carefully scrutinized TO make them
come within the fiscal program of the
President, to see tina. those relatively
more important get preference.
Then, even after the appropriations
have been made, the economy-e-fl-
cheney program is carried along

on which the President impressed
this requirement:
The appropriations made by Con
gress are the measure of the maxi,
mum amount of business which maz
be planned for that particular fiscal
year. They are not the measure os
the minimum amount Of business
which may be performed. Therefore.
in planning the expenditures. the
President insisted that each official
must not only carefully guard against
any of the activities being carrtd
on at rate which would require al,
ditional appropriations for that fiscal
year, but should arrange to conduct
the business of each Office with =
minimum of expense consistent with
emcient administration. He insisted
that each branch of work should SET
up reserve from its appropriatioEa-
with view TO showing an uneE-
pended balance at the end of the
year. y
The President also emphasized tbs

of Robert Corbitt, printer, accused of
attempting to obtain $1,000 from Mrs.

for seeking a man who, she told him,
had robbed her of diamonds. Corbitt
is being held by the police for psyche

carried him on his official tour to
India and Japan In 1922.
AS the Repulse is fitted out for a

admiral will be selected to command d
her. Most of the ships complement
of 1920 officers and men have been
chosen. The officers, for the most
part, arc serving on the Repulse at
the present time. About half of the
enlisted men are those who have
served on the Repulse for two years
and the remainder will be honor men
of the navy.
The Repulse has been ordered into
the yards for a complete overhauling

prince is being fitted out of the apart
ments adjoining the admirafs quar-

built for him. There will be also spe-

prince. The royal traveller will eat

Because of the strong support by

Representative Gibson, although

himself an earnest and able friend of
the District. In his efforts to give
sympathetic considera ton and sensi-
BILE support to all measures that he
believed really to the benefit of the
Nations Capital he had 1T forcibiy
impressed upon him that there was
conflict of authority, cumbersome

suffered in consequence because the
Congress, in it's unavoidable haste,
could not stop to untangle all these
complications. For this reason he be-
came convinced that a thorough study
should be made Of the entire situation
and that 1t should be cleaned up once
and Tor all on co-ordinated basis, in
the best interests of the Capital and
of Congress.
