BUDGET SYSTEM MAY BE DELAYED NEARLY ALL CONGRESSMEN ARE IN FAVOR OF IT BUT CAN'T AGREE ON THE KIND. LAWMAKERS IN A QUANDARY People Demand Reduction in Taxa tion But Congress Is Overwhelmed with Deserving Calls for the Ap propriation of Huge Sums. By JAMES P. HORNADAY. Washington.—The situation that ex ists with respect to government ex penditures emphasizes the importance of adopting a budget system without further delay. This is a statement to which practically all the members of •congress will subscribe, and yet opin ions with respect to the particular kind of budget system that should be adopted are so at variance that is is not at all certain that such a system will be worked out during this session of congress. With the people demand ing a reduction in taxation, congress is overwhelmed with demands for money. The legislators are hard press ed to know what to do about many of the calls for money because with a few exceptions they are all deserving. Take for instance the demand for another appropriation of $50,000,000 to $150,- 000,000 for additional relief in Eu rope. The prevailing feeling in con gress is that with taxation pressing so hard on the American people, no more appropriations of this sort should be made, and yet here is a charity call that a government with a heart can hardly ignore. Since the estimates were submitted last December unexpected demands have come in from many directions. Most of them are the result of pro posed legislation, legislation that in the estimation of the leaders in con gress seems to be necessary. For in stance, there is the Americanization bill which calls for something over $G,000,000 annually; there is the bill, very generally favored in con gress and out of it, to create a sep arate aviation department or depart ment of the air, which under the low est estimates submitted would cost many millions of dollars annually, and then there is the question of making provision *for universal military train ing. All Agree Budget Is Desirable. Much of the confusion that exists with respect to appropriations is, of course, due to the lack of a budget; system. No one pretends to say that under a budget system congress could, be advised at the beginning of the session as to the exact amount it would be called on to appropriate during the! session, but it could and would, under a well developed budget system, gain; fairly accurate information as to thel financial demands that would be made, on it. Under the haphazard system that has always prevailed everybody and anybody in authority in the gov ernment is free to make demands, and it frequently occurs that the depart ment or bureau or activity that can set up the most plausible arguments gets the most money.. If a budget system did nothing more than eliminate duplication of effort and therefore duplication in appropria tions, it would supply a long felt want. At present there is no-one authorized to say, or who does say, that duplica tion exists, and so money by the mil lions—and this is nc exaggeration— is appropriated for work that is du plicated,. Just now the appropriation committees are trying to .get at some of the duplications. Wants to Reduce Taxes. In the meantime the ways and means committee which handles thei question of taxation is eagerly watch ing for an opportunity to lop off some of the federal taxes; but as yet it ha 9 not been able to see its way clear to make a single reduction and it is now reasonably certain that it will not pro pose any reductions in the immediate future. Budget legislation for the. time be ing at least is held up as a result of the house taking one view with re spect to the sort of legislation that should be enacted and the senate com mittee on budget another view. The main question at issue is whether a budget bureau shall be attached to the White House, that Is to say to the president's office, or whether it shall be attached to the office of the secre tary of the treasury. The bill which bears the name of Representative Good of lowa, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, and which has passed the house, lodges the budget bureau in the president. The bill that finds favor with the sen ate and which bears the name of Sen ator McCormick of Illinois, attaches the bureau to the secretary of the treasury. A special senate committee on budget legislation is considering the McCormick bill now. It has within recent weeks listened to many experts, on budgets, and will soon be ready to make a report. It is settled that it will favor the McCormick bill in pref erence to the Good bill. It is now too late to enact budget legislation that will be of any help in making the ap propriations for the fiscal yeaifc which will begin the first day of July and the best that can be hoped for is that such a system will be in operation be fore the first Monday jn next Decem ber when the last session of this con gress will begin.
