the appropriation of about 38
million dollars for"" the’ expenses
of the State during the next two
years. The only material in
crease in the ’ appropriation bill
over figures set out by the Ad
visory Budget CommissioD was
in the school equalizing fund,
which was increased from $5,-
000.000 to $6,800,000.
The appropriations committee
recommended $25,000 for the
Confederate reunion at Char
lotte this summer. Reunion of
ficials had asked for $6O,O00.
"Pleas for money to stage the his
torical pageant at New Bern this
summer and for the renovation
of the Joel Lane house in Ral
eigb were denied.
The committee recommended
$42,600 for the newly created In
dustrial Commission, which will
administer the Workmen’s Com
pensation Act. The committee
also'recommended $21,000 for
the office of State Purchasing
Agent, but Governor Gardner
has withdrawn his support from
the bill to create this office and
the money will be used for other
purposes.—Raleigh Times

Under the budget system
which has been in force for eight
years, the Federal Government
has been placed on a sound ba
sis of efficiency and unified con
trol.
In June, 1921, when the bud
get system went into effect, the
entire Government structure was
permeated with extravagance.
Expenditures for that -fiscal
year, exclusive of debt reduc
tion, were about $6,000,000,000;
interest charge alone was more
than $100,000,000. and outstand
ing Indebtedness was nearly
$24,000,000,000.
Each succeeding year has
brought an ever-increasing im
provement in the business of the
government. Expenditures have
diminished until in 1927. exclu-
aive of amount applied to debt
reduction, they were below the
$3,000,000,000 mark, or $2,000,-
000,000 less than in i921 The
public debt has been reduced $6,
667.000.000 with a total saving
in interest alone from this and
funding operations of $963,000,-
000.
Four reductions in taxes have'
returned to the people appruxi
maliely $2,000,00O,0OU a year
which would have been required
an,! :.«,^n„.h...,M^maioed in force. Two and one
half million people have been en
tirely relieved of all Federal tax
ation.
With the Federal Government
leading the;vvay in reducing the
cost of its affairs, thereby lower
ing taxes, it is now up to the
states, counties and cities to fol
low suit.
