BY KARL W. MILLER. One lesson to be learned by a study of the economy problem of the Federal Government is the need for some method of fixing definite responsibility for the cost of every new unit, duty or function which in future may be added to_the Federal machine. In the past the Government has found the process of growth altogether too easy. s growth has con- tinuous and almost continual since the day ft was founded. Apg-romtly what is needed ta put a check this pro- cess is a new and improved budget! system. Previous articles of this series have shown that the job of reducmg the present cost- of Government is bigger ing to u.dml[t le of- than any cne seems Wi Every one, including ficlals, has been = economy, tui all ha boen waitin for some cone clse to make the first ef fective move toward it. Alded Dutics Costly. The rcason is that the present in- creased cost of Government is due, not 80 much to an increase in the cost of performing existing governmental duties, as to the added uties and fune- tions that have been loaded on it from year to year. Except for the prospective cut in the emergency constructicn program and a possible further cut in salaries, there is no room for more economy by the simple method of slashig appropria- ticns. This method was followed by the last session of Congress and it now has the whole Government operating on a [amine basis. Real economy from now on must come from an actuel trimming of the size and functions of the Government and that is the reason why politicians and_propagandisis Lave been 50 coy in their approach to the problem. To cut the costs further, laws must be re- pealed and bureaus musi be abolished and every one of these iaws and bu- ficaus has its friends among the pub- It is an old story that Government bureaus are more easily built up than torn down. The civil bureaus of the | Government, in fact, never have been reduced before, and there are those who | doubt that any serious reduction will be possible now. Under these circumstances it seems pertinent to inquire into the reasons Wwhy the Government manages to grow 80 easily. Causes of Growth. Since 1922 the operating cost of its civil branches, isregarding public works and tax refunds, has increased by $180,000,000. Aside from the fact that during this pericd most people were too busy with their own affairs to bother much about the Government, how did this increase come to pass un- nogeed? % ost of the' responsibility must be lald at the door of the sy!t};m, which, as a budget system, is a farce. The American budget in reality is nothing more than a list of tE:m:«:mi expendi- tures pméxued by executive and sent to Congress for its ce in making appropriations. It helps some- what to keep down operating costs, but helps not. at all te Yrevent undue growth. of the Government. In other countries the budget sub- mitted by the executive to the legisia~ ture includes a statement as to how the necessary revenue 48 to be collected. In ghe American budget system the expgldif,um bear only an incidental | relation ‘to proepective revenues. In the first nine years of the decade i’usr, mentioned the budget never was alanced, even approximately. There was an annual Treasury surplus, rang- ing from 8$185,000,000 to- $636,000,000. Not having to worry about expenses, Congress rapidly inefeased the Gov- ernment, now yielding to the demands of the farmers and hnow to the exuberant expansion of the business men. It hardly needs mention that in the last two years the budget has been unbalanced in the opposite direction with a deficit for the current fiscal gsgruosm: threatens to pass $1,500, Budget Disregarded. ‘The second and probably most im- portant failure of the present budget system is the fact that congressional &cts authorizing new activities and new expenditures are made with no refer- ence whatever to the budget. The Appropriations Commitees of Congress deal only with the expenditures of the Government as it now exists, or in other words, with the budget itself, and have little or no control over the add- ing of new governmental functions. Authorizing “acts*are reported from an entirely different sev of committees and, especially in good times, are adopted with no thought as to the Tevenues necessary to put them in ef- oct. As soon @s such acts become op- erative, the expendifures they call for in most cases are mandatory and are included in the budget as a matter of coyrse. Up until that point, when it is too late, the Appropriations and Reyenue Committees have had nothing to do with the process, exoept as indi- vidual members may have risen on the flogr to make an ineffectusl protest. Recommendation Made. The two things the present budget system lacks, in short, are: 1. That the Executive should send to Congress along with the budget a set of tax proposals calculated to raise the ameunt of the expenditures called for, no inoré and no less. His proposals of new legislation, as well, should be made to include the new taxation they would congressional enact- ment contemplating an increase in the scope of the Government and author- izing an _appropriation should pass | through the hands of the fiscal com- mittees and. moreover, should contain within itsell the tax provisions neces- | sary 1o raise the mopey. These two innovations would serve to fix responsibility for increases in the Government and continually _would center public attention on the effect of such increases on the tax burden. No expansion of Government then could be | fostered by any special interest with- | out the public being aware of the prob- able cost. Both of these improvements in the budget system were espoused a num- ber of years ago by organizations seek- ing to keep down the cost of Govern- ment, but were dropped when politi~ clans and the public showed no in- terest. Thelr proponents were discour- uednhofl e fact that success of the innoval ‘would depend on in- troducing an element of flexibility into the Federal tax structure.

AUTO VICLATIONS STUDY REPORTED Van Duzer Holds Something Is Wrong With Rule If Most Drivers Break It. Declaring that “there is probably something wrong” by most of the drivers.” Williem A. Van Duzer, director of vehicles and traffic here, todev outlined the findings thus tained in a local study designed vhot regulations are obeyed and iolated, and by what percent- age of drivers. Mr. Van Duzer was spcaking before tion at the annual meeting of the Hig} way Research Board, Division of Engl neering and Industrial Research, Na- tional Research Council, which started today. He is chairmen of the Com- mittee on Traffic. In general, Mr. Van Duser said, it was shown that about 85 per cent of the drivers abide by the rules, with the other 15 causing trouble. Right of Way Importaat. High up on the list of accident sources he placed failure to yield zight of way. | saying that between 5 and 13 per cent of the drivers fail to give way to other drivers or pedestrians. Other corrective measures faillng, he declared that to climinate this type of driver it may become necessary to revoke the license of an offendet when culpability for an accident is determined. Another dangerous practice to which he pointed is entering late on the amber signal or on ‘the red signal at controlled intersections. In a six-hour period at the four in- tersections—Seventh and Ninth streets and New York and Massachuseits ave- nues, 309 drivers came in so late on the amber that they went out on red and 170 went in on red. “While the total is only about 4 per cent of the total traffic,” Van Duzer said, “4t comstitutes 479 cases of poten- tial accidents during a six-hour period of observation on only four intersec- tions.” Stop Signs Ignored. Another source of danger to which he pointed is that of entering a stop street without due care. A check of 1,184 cars coming into streets guarded by & stop slgn showed 526, or 44 per cent, made & complete stop; 373, or 32 per cent, made a partial stop under control, and 285, or 24 per cent, did not stop. 'Iehu. Van Duzer sald, meant that 76 per cent of the drivers were careful and 24 per cent were potential trouble makers, and led to a question as to whether it might not be advisable to replace stop signs on arterial highways and streets with such signs, for instance, 88 “Caution—Through Traffic.” “When 56 per cent of the drivers dis- obey a stop sign, is such a sign desir- able?” he asked. “The 44 per cent of the drivers who made a complete stop would obey a caution sign. The 32 per cent who made a partial stop would continue s0 with a caution sign and would not be breaking the law, as they now are. The 24 per cent who pay no attention to & stop sign will not stop for any other sign short of the traffic officer’s whistle.” Lights Obeyed Better. At light-controlled intersections, Mr. Van Duzer said, 85 Pfl cent of 12,000 drivers checked were following the regu- lations, while at uncontrolled intersec- tions 70 per cent of 6,000 were obeying the code. At the former the violators were checked on exceeding speed limit, fail- ing to give right of way, cutting cor- ner, driving through safety zone, turn- ing from wrong lane, driving on left of center line, entering on amber, en- tering on amber-green and leaving on red, and entering on red. At the latter this same list of violations, exclusive of those, of course, involving lights, was checked, and one was added—passing car in intersection. For uncontrolled street data the check was made at Fourteenth and Fif- teenth streets and Constitution avenue and Fifteenth and E streets. A spectal study of vehicle speeds on typical streets showed little tendency to exceed the 22-mile-per<hour speed limit on two secondary streets checked—La- nier place between Adams Mill road and Ontarlo road, and Holmead place at Monroe street. Would Weed Out Dangerous Drivers. However, on seven out of eight arte- rial streets in the Northwest section, guarded by stop signs, where the same speed Nmit prevails, 70 to 94 per cent | of the drivers observed -were making from 25 to 20 miles, A 30-mile limit here, would allow police to concentrate their efforts on those going over that mark, who constitute a small minority. ‘This, he amplified, would tend to weed out the “dangerous” drivers. On Wisconsin avenue, where the limit is 30, he sald the average speed is 80, with 42 per cent exceeding that figure and only 14 per cent going over 35. e GRAIN SHOW PRAISED Alberta Official Defends Interna- tional Groups Rules.

DETROIT, December 1.—Henry Ford's | iliness, at first believed to be a simple trangulated femoral hernia coupled with an infected appendix. has proved to be a case rare in medicel annals— but the patient is convalescing with “amazing” rapidity just the same. Dr. Roy D. McClure, who performed the operation, diselosed for the first time yesterday that the incision dis- closed a gangrenous appendix which had become strangulated in the hernial sac, a case so rare that he could find no more than 20 comparable instances in literature of the profession. The surgeon said the appendix was removed through a four-inch incision for hernia on the thigh. So remarkable has been the patient’s recovery, he said, that he was out of bed for a few moments Sunday. Mr. Ford, the surgeon said, “has more recuperative powers than any patient of his age I have ever seen; in fact more than any patient of any age. His youth is simply remarkable.” “He probably will be out of the hos- pital within 10 days of the time of the operation—if we can hold him that long,” Dr. McClure added.

SUT SEERS ' STOCK RECOVERY eneral Electric and West- inghouse Distribution of 7,500,000 Shares Opposed. | By the Assoctated Press. | NEW YORK, December 1.—Stock-| holder’s suit was brought in Supreme Court yesterday to restrain the Gen- eral Electric Co. and the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. from dis- | tributing among their stockholders | 17,500,000 shares of Radio Corporation | of America stock, a&s a consequence | of a recent Federal Court decree. The suit seeks return to the R. C. A. or cancellation of the shares. The affi- davit declared that unless satisfaction | | was given the R. C. A. may be driven into bankruptey. Louls D. Frolich, vice | president of the Torquay Corporation, which is the plaintiff and a stockholder in the R. C. A, said in his affidavit | that the radio concern’s financial his- | tery has been somewhat distressing, in spite of an asserted monopoly that it enjoyed for a time. ‘The affidavit said the stock right- fully belongs to the R. C. A. and that it was handed to the two companies in 1930 when the monopoly was cre- ated. The General Electric received 3,948,225 shares, or 60 per cent of the total issue, and Westinghouse got 2,- 632,150 shares. | The affidavit sald the Federal Dis- | trict Ccurt, misled in signing the re- | cent court decree, had placed the R.
