AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published - Every Evening Except Sunday by - 'r Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and" Sailor Streets. Catered at -the Post Office at. Richmond. Indiana, as U Second-Class Mail Matter.

All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Z. New National Budget System "The new budget system for the formulation of whic much credit must be given to Senator McCormick is a long step forward in modernizing one of the worst kinks out of our federal government, namely, the irresponsible legislative control of the public purse," says the Chicago Post. ; "The appointment of Gen. Dawes as budget director gives the system the business push and dacision it needs. It offers to the fearless and outspoken general another chance to become a national figure. He has an opportunity to leave the impress of his personality on the fiscal system of the United States as clearly as John Marshall left his mark on our legal system. President Harding is to be congratulated on this admirable appointment. " "If the executive backs up with the great weight of his authority the principle of a budget, arid1 if congress plays fair, there will be a great change in our whole system of government. It will be well t& watch congress. The federal constitution specifically gives that branch the right to appropriate money, and no delegation of the budget-making power can prevent congressmen from continuing the old abuse of private pension bills and of 'pork barrel' appropriations for un

warranted river or harbor improvements or for J

extravagant public buildings in their districts, if their colleagues will stand for it. But the budget makers will present scientific estimates of the national revenue and of the legitimate needs of government; and through their systematic work the illegitimate 'pork barrel' proposals or inddividual congressmen can be analyzed and shown in their. true colors. "This should eliminate the constant trading of votes-for the kind of 'grab' measures which

are supposed merely to make the rural congressman strong in his district, but which, in fact, have for years tainted the whole proceedings of the national legislature and been at the back of many an unnatural alliance for reaction. The country will be the gainer if the president and his budget makers on the one hand, and the better element in congress on the other, join forces to suppress the private appropriation bill abuse and to make the scientific budget the final measure of the expenditures of government. President Harding and Gen. Dawes can do great things in this way. "Furthermore, the department estimates, as contained in the new budget, will become official 'administration' measures instead of compromises between some department head and an unwieldy and arbitrary oppropriations committee. The responsibility for both economy and efficient service will thus be definitely placed. The whole vast influence of the executive branch of the government can then be put behind the administration's program, if congress threatens to starve it to death.' In the responsible governments of Europe, it is an understood thing that the rejection of any vital part of the official budget is a repudiation of the government in power and isof the most serious consequence. Such a placing of responsibility would be a good thing in this country. "For instance, under a budget system, it would be difficult for congress to trifle and vacillate with the size of the army as it has recently done. The war department policy would be more clear-cut, to meet the exacting requirements of the budget bureau, and would be definitely an 'administration' measure. The president and the secretary of war would be committed to it, and congressmen would oppose it only as a definite fight on the administration. Thus the persons responsible for our military safety would have a much greater power to defend their program than they have now, when they must plead with detached groups of uninformed and uninterested congressmen. "These developments are all in the future. They may or may not happen. But the steps taken have been in the right direction, and President Harding could not have chosen a better man to put 'more business in government' than Charles G. Dawes."

Rippling Rhymes By WALT" MASON

WEARINESS. Ah, my life seems gray and dreary, in rebellion oft 1 stand, for my soul is f ick and weary of my task of.pounding sand. In.. rebellion oft I'm sighing, calling on the name of Mike, when the idle rich go flying in their autos, up the pike. Why must one forever labor till his brains are turning sour, while his giddy, gilded neighbor hits up sixty miles an hour? Oh, the auto horns are sounding, and the cut-outs make their noise, and my share of sand I'm pounding.with the sad, downtrodden boys. Pounding sand while ethers gambol where the ocean billows fiow, pounding sand while others ramble down some sort of Rotten Row. But, you say. the rich have sorrow, every standard brand of grief, and they'd give a lot to borrow my capacity for beef. And of rubles quite a number they would give, with great delight, if they could enjoy the slumber that enshrouds me every night. I have all I'm really needing, so you say, to ease my woe, and I am not pinched for speeding every time I let her go. I am sound and hale and heartv, honest toil accounts for that, while" the idle, loafing smarty sags sround-in rolls of fat. I'm encouraged by vour spieling, so, with weapon in my hand, I'll forget that wean' feeling and continue pounding sand.

HUMAN CAMELS Zoologists who are connected with the British expedition in the Arabian and Sahara Deserts tell us that nobody loves the camel. Even those who know best the usefulness of the "Ship of the Desert" refuse it any affection, indeed, say little or nothing in its praise. This is very extraordinary. The horse, the dog, the cat, donkey, elephant and mud tortoise have their more or less fervent admirers and lovers; but the camel, who wa3 probably the earliest helper of man, who is a tireless worker, steady, reliable, courageous, doggedly persistent and decent, has hardly a single friend. The reason why the camel is not credited with and loved for his virtues, remarkable asjthese are, is that he is an inveterate grumbler. From the moment he opens his eyes to the moment he draws his last breath, the camel never ceases grumbling. Take the matter of saddling. The instant the camel sees the Bedouin coming to strap him round with the saddle, he begins to grumble. Also, the instant he sees him coming to take the saddle off, he grumbles all the louder. Not that he has anything against the saddle or the Bedouin he just grumbles on principle, apparently.

Then there is his load. He grumbles when he grumbles when he is being unloaded. He grumbles

And he grumbles if the load isjight. He just grumbles. And there is his journey. He grumbles if yoi; make him hurry. He grumbles if you slow him up. And he seems to grumble most if you let him halt and rest. The camel seems never to be contented. He suffers from a perpetual, malignant, joy-killing "grouch". And it is this grouchiness and ungraciousness, this grumbling. gTudging. fretting, irritating way of giving, that annihilates all gratitude for this most useful animal, and that makes him so unpopular that it is almost impossible to find anybody who will put in a kind word for him or for his human prototype.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" TRA LA LA, WORLD! Only as Youth is properly served are we able to look the stars in the face and see no age there! The other evening I was a very silent spectator at a boys' party. I was a little useful, however, for I kept the Victrola going for the dances. It was the occasion of a twin boy birthday. Little girls came all dressed up in their pink and blue and white dresses, with great silk bows spreading their arms about like huge butterflies, as if to say: "Don't you think I am awfully pretty?" Every once in a while I got lost and had to run to the door to let in a little black-eyed girl who said she had to come to "bring you this bag of nice new popcorn and these pansies I picked for you!" And then I would be discovered all of a sudden and would put on a new record and wind the old Victrola with a new found, happy vengeance. For Youth was busy at my feet, and I had to be on the job every minute. Age isn't so much, after all. It's just kid-dom stretched out! Everybody ought to konw how to trot with he world at least a part of the time. And what better plan than to climb over the fence into the boy or girl world and catch its light and happy tunes? The man who doesn't carry quite a good sample of early love and beauty and romance in his heart, is sure to grow cold and unhappy as the years add their toll. I hope that I shall never forget how to whistle. I like to hear a man whistle even on crowded streets. My father, who was a minister, once sent me home from church for whistling while he tried to preach! Perhaps I inherited a love for the whistling man. But in addition to its keeping the boy in one's vest pocket, they tell me that it is healthy to whistle. Well, tra la la, World you are sunny most of the time!

Une of the nine temportry rear admirals of the United States navy recommended Vy the naval selection board for promotion to the permanent grade of rear admiral is Mark L. Bristol. Bristol is essentially a seafaring man. He was , """ born in Glassboro, vf N. J., April 17, 1S6S. S End was s-radnated

Answers to Questions

V ; J "Where and what is Monte Carlo? Monte Carlo, the world's most notorious gambling center, with its costly casino, is located in the independent principality of Monaco, on the Mediterranean coast of France. Winter resorts are maintained on a magnificent scale. The splendor of the gamblin? halls, together with the fascination for the game of chance, has gained for Monte Carlo a world reputation. Large sums of money are lost there continually, and Jewels and estates are mortgaged to satisfy the demands of the goddess of chance. Suicide is not uncommon. A syndicate pays s-o heavily to the Prince of Monaco for its license to gamble, that no tax for the support of the government is placed upon the people. The principality was ceded to the ancestors of the prince of Monaco by Emperor Otho I, founder of the Holy Roman Empire. The town of Monte Carlo was founded in 1S56. and

j has been a gambling resort ever since.
