He sald that no other great nation in the world is without a budget sys- tem, pointed out that only through this method can accurate estimates be made for the country's benefit of how the people’s money is being ex- pended and scored the effort of con- gress to prevent its adoption.

And this power I propose to exercise. Only Couhtry Without Budget. “The United States is the only great eountry that doesn't have a budget.
