I former 'demands his pay and then promises a service, guar- I unteed only by his word. Reformers have .never been overly popular, because theory is ever hypothetical and there has never been found a method of separating the sincere from the imposter. Centuries ago business was on a similar basis with honest and dishonest merchants in the same bazaar. Then the 1 public watched the reformer with one eye while he kept ! the other on the merchant. It is lamentable that reforming h.ts not kept pace with business. Today business is -firmly establishod on a foun dation of public service and one price. Reformers are still guaranteeing no service and claiming many prices. 1. Reformers and Business ... 'I have a deal more faith in the average businessman than I: have in the average reformer," Elbert Hubbard once wrote. Hubbard may have been the first person who put the thought into print, but it cannot be gainsaid that "them has long been the sentiments" of the average person, i . lit is no secret why right-thinking men and women have more faith in the business man than in the reformer. Jt is simply an eternal admiration for the creator. The ,man in business is creating something. lie is in the serv ice 'of the people, filling a positive demand. But what is he reformer? At best he is only a. theorist, j While, the ,businebs man is filling the public's'1 older1 the reformer jinakes! orders for the public to fill. The businessman rcn ,ders his service before demanding his pay, while the re- Public Expenditures The example set by the federal government in the adop tion of the budget system for public expenditures is bein.-; followed by quite a number of states. Adoption of this .system is not only resulting in more economic expenditure of public moneys but also in decidedly wiser appropriations. Expenditures are being made more with the desire on the part of those who make them that people shall obtain full value for their money. In national expenditures the budget system has en- , tirely done away with "pork barrels." In doing away with these it has, of course, deprived partisan politics of a great deal of grease that party machinery from time to time needs, compelling political leaders to look elsewhere, for it. In state expenditures the budget system is more ' seriously crippling party machinery because state leaders! are unable to collect considerable donations and have to, avoid laws which prevent their levying assessments on of fice holders. The ultimate result of the budget system will probably compel many changes in the political game. " - . ! course,, until the budget system becomes firmly es tablished, through appeal to the majority of the people hi nation as well as in the several states, it will constantly be made the subject of attack. This is to 'bo expected) and, if forewarned is to be forearmed, the people themselves should make it plain that .the system is to remain so long as it justified by economies and value.
