The two lions have all the earmarks

There are now five lions in the Zoo

says, that each should have it's own
accounting system, it's own statement
of assets and liabilities, its own oper-
Rting statements, ETC., so that precise
Information may be available of the
extent to which such service is self
supporting in producing net profit
or is run at loss.
Second. Any attempt to include the
gross receipts and disbursements of
these services in the general budget
not only unduly swells both sides of
the account and produces, from the
standpoint of the taxpayer, a certain
miSconception regarding the cost of
the Government and the growth of
governmental expenditures. but also
necessitates including in the general
budget a great mass of details.
Third. Each of these services rep
resents a distinct problem requiring
Independent consideration. If each
has it's own budget, containing its own
balance sheet, operating statements,
analysis of receipts and expenditures.
etc, not only can the exposition Of
financial condition, operations and
needs be made much more elaborate,
but the special considerations involved
can also be given more effective con-
sideration.
Policy Should Vary.
Finally, the appropriation policy of
Congress in respect to such services
should be quite different from its
policy in respect to the ordinary ad-
ministrative service. In respect TO
the latter, Congress not only fixed
rigidly the total of the expenditures
that may be made by each service, but
specifies in detail the purposes or OBJ
3ects of such expenditure, the number
of employees that may be employed in
each class or at given salary. 1t is
question whether it is feasible or de-
Sirable that it should do this TO the
same extent in the case of revenue
producing enterprises. To attempt TO
prescribe the number and Compensa-
ton Of technical employees, such as
ship masters and locomotive engineers,
would unduly tie the hands of ad-
ministrative officials and throw upon
Congress a burden Of work that is be-
yond its competence.
The report that is awaiting the re.
turn OF Congress concludes that it
cannot be too strongly emphasized
that the adoption of the supplement.
ary budget system with separate sub.
sidiary corporations, instead of weak,
enlnSs strengthens congressional con
troll. Under it the conduct of the
financial affairs Of these corporations
may be subjected to appropriations
control that is not attempted at the
present time. The only difference
from the appropriations standpoint
would be that appropriations for sup
port Of the several services would
read as appropriations to be met out
of the revolving fund Of each corpora
tion instead of from the general fund

"ALL THE WORLDS A STAGE

VAUDEVILLE By Aben Handel. Henry waterson
Co., New York. So.
IN THE October New Masses Francis Edwards Faragoh
of the New Playwrghts Theatre, let's out jubiant
whoop, does handspring and few huahulas in prai2s
of novel called Vaudeville, by writer named Aben
Handel He announces that the end of the "Hes" and
"Shes" of literature has come and anybody VINO GO
tinues to write about them in this of the "Theys
crazy.
To put it mildly, think Paragon is talking through
his hat Aside from the fact that the reported death OF
the "Hes" and "Shes" Of literature may be slightly
aggerated the implication that the book an example
of coectvst "They" art is miles away from the truth
Vaudeville is very much concerned with the Hes and
Shes The difference is that the author tries to for
maize his characters they meant to be any "Hes
and any "Shes" instead Of specific personalities
Vaudeville uses an ingenious technical device to pre-
sent its material The story is conceived continuous

plot is of idotc simplicity the usual husband wife,

the most obvious pattern. 1t is a McFadden "True
Story" written with sophistcation and litheness.
This material could have been treated satircally with

could have been automatizedas apparently intended

the band played bar of the Inter

stood at attention.
As soon as the last cheer left the
threats of the gathering, the train
sped on it's way and in course of time
we arrived in the Eternal City of
the working class-Moscow.
Here we are besieged by an army
of drosky and taxi drivers, the latter
being in the minority. Drosky drivers
are by no means communicative or
talkative except when they are fight
ing for a fare, bargaining for the
price or seducing tip out of a pas
senger.
An American woman-at least a
New Yorker-who understood the
Russian language took pity on me
and jointly we succeeded in defeat
ing the enemy. A go-getting taxi
drixer finally convinced US that his
mode of conveyance was speedy and
safe so we surrendered. 1t was sea-
going hack of ancient vintage. 1t
took two able-bodied seamen to man
it. Our scanty baggage was piled
into the vehicle, and the young man
who sold US the ride gave orders to
the chauffeur to proceed. re
The weather was bitterly cold. For
tunately there was no wind and over
head the sky was clear and blue.
Posters advertising the appearance
of Harold Lloyd and other we'll
know American movie celebrities met
one on every corner. Trolleys passed
crowded to the doors. How like the
United Statesl
A traffic policeman held up his
little red club and our RATHER came
to halt. My New York acquain-
lance looked around and remarked
that the person with a portfolio who
stood waiting for car reminded her
Of so and so in New York some years a
ago. AS if bitten by a telepathic
bug the person mentioned turned
around and suddenly leaped on our
running board, inflicting several
smackers on my fellow passenger
This is the most popular form of
salutation in Russia. Their CONTEMPT
for itinerant germs is only surpassed
by their hatred Of the capitalist sys-
tenn.
The taxi driver managed to take US
to the wrong address just as would
happen to one in New York, provided
the driver knew you landed from a
transatlantic liner and suspected
you were stranger in the city. By
the time our dilapidated flivver shook
US out of it's system at our destina-
ton he had managed to shake several
rubles more than he had right to
out of our pockets.
