MILLIONS SAVED BY OHIO BODGET *■■■ ■ First Appropriation Under System Reduced Items in the Bill by $946,623. COX AN ADVOCATEj As Governor One of His ' First Recommendations Was for Fiscal Reform New York City. Sept. 3.—Millions of dollars are being saved in Ohio through the budget system inaugurated in that state under the leadership of Governor James M. Cox, democratic nominee for president. The budget represents the public purse. That was the theory on which Ohio set to work, and in consequence the first appropriation bill in 1914 meant a saving to taxpayers of $946,-1 623. Since then the economies have increased annually. These facts are told in that part of the democratic campaign textbook! soon to be issued from the national headquarters in Grand Central Palace. New York’City, devoted to Governor Cox’s record as governoi ' third richest state in th unfor I, are regarded as of especial interest at this time because the governor is committed to the cause of a national budget to the cause of a national budget and to economical administration at Washington. The recountal of the Governor’s achievements in public life takes up a goodly part of the textbook. Mr. Cox served in congress as a member of the committee on appropriations and his first-hand experience with the unscientific methods of handling public funds put him in the ranks of the pioneers for the adoption of a practical budget system. As governor one of his first, recommendations to the Ohio general assembly in 1913. in his first term, was for a state budget svstem. placing the state's financial affairs so far as possible on a business basis and taking the distribution of the public’s money out of the dominance of log-rolling methods. The scheme recommended by him was adopted. It has been in operation ever since and from the be sinning has proved its worth as a money-saver. Archaic System Modernized. Prior to the adoption of the budget Ohio's fiscal system had grown ar chaic. Legislative appropriations were made to the departments in lump sums or in the form of granting all receipts and balances, some of the de partments being maintained by fees fiom interests regulated by them. Os the departments having receipts of their own, many had their own bank deposits and cheeking accounts, and their funds never passed through the state treasury or through the hands of the state auditor. Other departments fared well or ill at the hands of the legislature according to the persuasive eloquence, or lack of it, of the representative who pleaded for funds before the finance committees. With the adoption of the budget all

The state treasI ury now’ is the depository of all the j receipts of departments and funds are I paid out in specific sums, for specific ■ purposes within specific departments, las appropriated by the legislature. The budget department consists of <a commissioner appointed by the gov|ernor. an assistant and a clerk. The budget is pr>-p;:>-rd by the coinmission .er for t ibn s.-ion to Hie governoi I j from estimates of funds needed file 1 ‘lby the several departments. The com missioner investigates all items, ascertains the reasons for any increases asked, fixes the sum he deems proper estimates the state’s revenues during " the biennium, and prunes the budget ’ to fit the total of the estimated revenue. r The budget is then submitted to the governor whose right it is to make changes of his own after advising with '•! department heads. The budget as finally approved bv the governor J" then presented to the legislature and by it referred to the finance commit1 vtees of the two houses These com ’’imittees and. in turn, the legislature s : have full authority to make any alterae 'tions. increases or decreases they see fit. but the budget commissioner a= :I the agent of the governor sits at all y sessions of the committees and is prep pared at all times to defend the al- ’ lowance made in the budget for a de- ” partment. Budget System Saving Millions. a The first budgetary appropriation bill reduced appropriations agregating $9,709,288 to $8,762,664. t' While the system has been saving r ’ the state increasingly great sums, this e does not mean, of course, that the l) | state expenditures are now less than in 1913. As a matter of fact they have I .increased as governmental activities s have enlarged, but the saving has lf |been effected in the sense that the )f ! scientific and ordered expenditures of K state monies have been greatly less 11 1 than they would have been under the old loose system. >f COCOA AT 55 CENTS II Owing to a typographical error, an ’• item in the G.
