Appropriation and revenue bills were drawn and modified in haphaz ard ways, with no correlation be tween tiiem, and with no one really responsible. Millions of dollars were spent in needless federal buildings and “improving” rivers and harbors where such could scarcely be found. Secre tary Glass portrayed the condition by saying that “Congress Wes with a lavish hand stupendous sums, con ceived in a magnificent spirit of gen erosity. with a view to the enhance ment of the prestige of the nation or for the benefit of this or that element in the community.” Budget legislation was passed In 1921 which centralizes responsibility In the President He must transmit the budget to congress on the first day of each regular session. This sets forth an estimate of all money need ed, and a^ll receipts for the coming year; conditions of debt; and any data which will show the financial condition of the government Hesmust make any recommendations which the public interest may require. While the President is restjonsible. the budget is originally prepared un der the direction of the director of the budget His estimates are based on a careful study of the needs of the departments. No department can request congress for an appropri.-i- tion except at the request of the sen ate Or house. In addition to prepar ing the budget, the law authorizes tlip President to require the director to make Investigation in order to secure greater economy and efficiency In the public service and in the busiopss methods of the government. Much has been accomplished In the six years of the operation of the budget. Chairman Warren of the senate committee on appropriations said: “The budget law has demon strated its worth. It helps separate the chaff from the grain. It gives 'accuracy, as well as integrity, to esti mates, which results Ln less work on the part of congress.^’ (®. 1928.
