EXECUTIVE DIRECTS HEADS OF

ESTIMATES
LETTER TO MAC VEAGH EXPLAINS
United States Only Great Country
That Does Not Have Budget
People are Left to
Judge
BEVERELY, Mass., Sept. 19.
President Taft tonight made public a
letter to Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, taking open issue with
Congress on the question of a Federal
budget and directing all heads of Gov
ernment departments to make their
estimates of revenue and expendi
tures for the fiscal year in conformi
ty with the budget plan.
The President's letter to Mr. Mac
Veagh said the clause in one of the
big supply bills passed by Congress
in the closing hours of the last es
sion, practically forbidding the use
of a budget system, was unconstitu
tional. "If the President is to assume re
sponsibility for either the manner in
which business of the Government is
transacted or results obtained," the
President writes to Secretary Mac
Veagh, "it is evident that he cannot
be limited by Congress to such infor
mation as that branch may think suf
ficient for his purposes. In my opin
ion it is entirely competent for the
President to submit to Congress and
to the country a statement of resour
ces, obligations, revenues, expendi
tures and estimates in the form he
deems advisable. And this power I
propose to exercise.
"The United States is the- only
great country that does not have a
budget. Each year the Congress has
been making increasingly large ap
propriations, based on estimates
which are submitted by officers acting-
in the capacity ' of ministerial
agents to Congress, under a law
wiucii mattes uu yruviaiuuo waaicTu
, for executive review and revision..
This I have sought in a measure to
correct by asking the heads of depart
ments to send estimates to me before
they are printed,, but the conditions
attached ' by Congress' have been such
as to make executive review impossi
ble. -

from the First Assistant .Postmastqp

his , remonstrance against closing the

adopted a resolution regulating auto
mibile traffic in Oregon City. The
resolution provides that automobiles
shall not be operated in the city at
a greater rate of speed than ten miles
an hour, and that at night they must
have lamps in front and the rear and
on both sides. The night policemen
were instructed by the mayor im
mediately after the meeting to see
that the resolution is inforced.

struction of concrete sidewalks was
amended so that Clackamas sand and
gravel may be used in making them.
A resolution providing that the Tel
ephone Companies be instructed to
move poles from Main Street between
Moss Street and the Abernethy
bridge, was adopted. The council is
desirous that all unsightly poles be

resenting the Live Wires, reported
that the- bonded indebtedness of the

voted upon at the . next election. The
motion was referred to the commit
tee on finance. W. S. TJ'Ren, repre
senting Joseph Meyers, said that the
proposed street- improvements in
front of Meyer's property would do
him a great injustice. The street
committee will make an investiga
tion. " .
