sufficient Knowledge of the need of

tho budget system, No successful
business enterprise of any . size can
operate without it. For a Hundred 1
years, tne ;euerai unit, and tho states
as- well, made appropriations without
determining tho difference between
department need and caprice, at tho

the relation as between income and

it seemed as though a world dictator
was inevitable, and that henceforth
men and women who had lived In
freedom would stand at attention, in
the tape of the drawn sword of mili
tary autocracy. Tho very soul of
America was touched, as neve.r before
with a fear that our libertieswere to
be taken away. What America did,
needs no reiteration here. It is
known of all then. History will ac
claim it poets will find it an in
