The budget forming committee Of the greatest bus
mess in the world, the United States, is hard at work
preparing estimates Of the needs OF the various gov
ernmental departments.
The various committees are busily engaged in
holding final hearings in an attempt TO reduce the
total asked by all agencies to within the figure set by
President Hoover-s3.B 4s. 600, 900.
The budget bureau is working on the sums that
will be made available during the fiscal year 1881,
which begins July !.
There are several little matters which will tome
before congress for which no provision will be made
In the budget and which administration heads fear
may bring the total needed for the twelve months 70
more than s4.000.O00.OO and political leaders very
much desire to avoid this figure. They consider q
mighty blow would be struck at them If the enemy
could point to the present as the first -four billion
dollar" government IN The world.
One little thing which might work havoc with he
budget estimates is the Federal Farm Bureau. a Gre
alton Of the administration. This body already has
been given Sl50y000.O00 for immediate use. but ii has
been authorized to Use up to s5OoOOoooo. And it is
believed the board may ask for at least an additional
800. 000.3 900 during the coming year.
Another little circumstance over which the budget
bureau will have no control might be called "a little
Mediterranean fy in the ointment"
Department OF agriculture officials have indicated
they may ask s36.0O0,O00 with which 10 carry on the
fight to exterminate this dread pest in Florida.
Another extra-special call may come from those
who have the Mississippi flood control project on their
hands.
So the bureau likely will find itself beset by the
problems usually common to budget forming commit
tees. but in this case the problems will Be on q much
more gigantic scale.
The bureau has announced II win make public no
figures until its task Is complete and the itemized
statement prepared for congress. That will be In the
second week Of December.
