. THE - BUDGET BILL MADE EXCUSE BY CONGRESS FOR DELAY IN GETTING ON A PEACE BASIS Only One Way to Avert Financial Disaster. IT’S ‘CUT TO THE BONE,’ With Nation at Peace, Ex- penses Must Be Slashed to a Peace Basis. By Martin Green. (Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, March 11.— Sev- in an- #wering The Evening World's query about what they have done and are doing in the House of Representatives nd the Senate to lighten the load of New York taxpayers, have pointed to their support and advocacy of the proposed budget system of prepara- tion of estimates of Government ex- penditures. From present indications it ig quite probable that Congress will adopt a budget system, to become operative next year, and support of the measure will in plentiful measure from both the old political parties, The need of a budget plan for the control of outlay for the cost of Gov- ernment {s not questioned by any one | familiar with the way the financial affairs of the country are conducted. | In the elimination of overlapping ac- tivities alone, economies amounting | to hundreds of millions of dollars can be effected. The budget measure be- fore Congress is the result of long ‘and careful consideration, and its| framers have had the benefit of the! advice of experts who have studied the question of Government expendi- tures for years. Tho adoption of the budget system would be admirable legislation apd ultimately taxpayers would doubtless be benefited, but the current tudget situation should be carefully watched. BUDGET SYSTEM DOESN'T MEET) PRESENT NEED. _ While the urgent necessity for a ghange in the method of estimating | expenses “and appropriating mone iy a question of outstanding interest, the overshadowing question at this| time—the question that touches the| pocketbook of every wage earner, merchant, manufacturer, banker and | nvestor—is getting the country back! an a peace basis and limiting Gov- | ernment expenses in proportion to the limitations which are forced upon| No matter how admirable a budget system may be, it does not enforce economy of itself. A budget system attuned to expen- ditures of the Government on a war b would not materially reduce taxes or the cost of living. The task before Congress in the existing emergency is to get out of war and into peace, and that ean be done by following The Evening World's plan of retrench- ment. el There is where the trouble lies. Putting the country back on a peace basis involves cutting Government expenses to the bone, dispensing with the services of hundreds of thousands of employees who were useful during the war, but are now a load on the! backs of the people, temporarily dis- continuing public works and improve- ments which can just as well be done when the country gets back on its financial fect, and abandoning scores of uplift and betterment plans which are not properly Government func- tions. To tread the trail to the goal of accomplishment of these tasks re- quires a high order of courage and determination. Members of Congress who stick to the trail may expect to make powerful enemies, to antago- nize widely diversified interests, and come (Continued on Tenth Page.) ennai EDWARDS LEAGUE IN KINGS.
