Secretary Mellon
Urges Enactment
Of Budget System
Heatl of Treasury Department
Appeals to People For
Rigid Economy in Gov
ernment Expenditures.
Washington, .March 8. Secretary
Mellon of the treasury, in "his first
official statement made public to
night in the form of a letter to bank
ers, appealed to "the people gener
ally'' to stand for rigid economy in
v m-ktriittin(n1 vntiwlitiirpe a n A 1 1 r CT
. cd immediate establishment of a na
tional budget system.
He discussed the nation's financial
condition, declaring: that the show
ing? made in the last tight months
Jiad been "particularly encouraging."
There are, however, heavy drains to
Come on the treasury this month and
next, he said, and these require more
short term certificates of indebted
ness, announcement of which he
made coincident with the letter.
"The nation cannot afford ex
travagance," he asserted, "and so far
as possible it muM avoid entering
new fields of expenditure. Figures
on current operations of the govern
ment show that the country's finan
ces are sound, but that the situation
calls for utmost economy.
Great Care Necessary.
"The heavy requirements of the
government on account of necessary
expenditures, including interest and
sinking fund on the public debt and
the maturity of $7,500,000,000 in short
"dated debt in two years or there
abouts, make it imperative that the
greatest care and economy be ex
ercised in matters affecting govern
ment expenditures.
"The people generally must become
more interested in saving the gov
ernment's money than in spending it.
A thoroughgoing national budget
system must be established and the
government's expenses brought into
relation to its income."
He expressed the belief, however,
that, the first nine mdnths of the
fiscal year, "or to -March 31. would
show "that the treasury had made
ends meet with a slight surplus to
use against the great war debt. Pay
ments on the war debt might be
s.low, he said, explaining that the
heavy payments to the railroads
would hamper previous plans to low
cr the debt.
- New - Issues Announced.
Tssues of certificates announced
will aggregate $400,000,000 and will
bear interest at 5 1-2 per centj half
having a maturing date of one year
and the remainder for six months.
Both issues will be accepted in pay
ment of income and profits taxes.
In notifying bankers, Mr. Mellon
said he felt it his duty to inform
them of the probable requirements
of the government and to say something-
concerning its financial pro
gram. He said $500,000,000 in cer
tificates must be paid off March 15,
and an additional $118,000,000 a
month later. Besides there is to
be pair the semi-annual interest of
about $75,000,000 cm Liberty bonds,
March 15. The-treasury also must
make payments estimated at $200.
000,000, to the . railroads during
March. -
To partially offset the heavy out
go, the regular quarterly payment
of income and profits taxes is due
March 15, Jrom which the treasury
hopes to realize approximately $500,
000,000. This tax payment, there
fore, will be used in retiring cer
tificates due on the same date. Funds
obtained from the new issues then
will become available for caring for
other debts of which the. railroad
payments and the small previous is
sues of certificates constitute the
greatest amount- '- -

publicans of the two committees
with Secretary Mellon, it is planned
to draft definite rlcommendations
for a program of fiscal reform for
President Harding's consideration.

in the new congress. ,
Several western- republican sena

Gooding, Idaho,' and Stansfield, Ore
Kan, urged Senator Penrose to give
first consideration to an agricultural
tariff. It is the present intention of
