to ask it Governor Smith would

expenditures between 1921 and 1925
were inevitable, why hadn't they
already been more largely af-

Mellon Lsuds Budget
To the budget bureau in the first
year of its operation, Mr.. Mellon
gave credit for "paring and pruning
costs that had already actually been
appropriated for the fiscal year 1922
to the extent of $755, 900 900. y
There was, he said, nothing very
gradual, automatic or inevitable
about that"
Turning to Smiths statement
with respect to increased expendi-

Mellon declared that Governor

The Sedalia address, Secretary

Mellon said. 'sHe did not say that
of The $3.50, ,0O0, 900 expended in

II Is Mr. Fishers suggestion that the
District Commissioners or The Public

mlttee which would investigate all acct
dent cases. TO determine fairly on whom
the blame and responsibility rests. He
is not clear as To how the Law would
work out In the matter Of appointments

TO provide a fair committee 10 all

Commission and a representative Of the
