Raggedy Andy caught Baby Grass-
lioppt’r before she fell in the gram and
ho-ld her on his soft white cloth hand.
"Dear met" Andy exclaimed'as he
looked closely at Baby Grasshopper.
“i do believe she is chewing tobacco!"
"Yts sir!" Raggedy A'nn agreed as she
leaned closer to see, "She has a. whole
mouth full!"
Mr. Gregory Grasshopper sprang
upon Andy's hand and held Baby
Grasshopper. “Why sure enough!" he
cried. "1‘“ have to punish you:” and
he stnrt_~d to spank Baby Grasshopper.
"Vk'nit a minufi?!" Raggedy Andy
laughed as ..he held Mr. Grasshopper
with his other hand. "You seem to be
chewing tobacco too!"
"And so is Mrs. Grasshopper!”
laughed Tiaggcdy Ann.
“We are not chewing tobacco
though!" said Gregory Grasshopper
"I don't know how Baby Grasshopper
learned such a bad habit. So I must
spank her to teach her better!”
“I do not think it would be right to
spank her for doing things that she
learns from you!" Raggedy Ann said
very seriously. “For she does not know
it is wrong when she sees you doing
a. thing!"
“lilaybe if you and Mrs. Grasshopper
quit chewing tobacco. Baby Grasshop-
per will quit too!" suggested Raggedy
Andy. ’ '-
"My goodness!" Mr. Gregory Grass-
hopper laughed. "I see what you mean
but. the food that we eat. makes us
look as if we were chewmg tobacco.
but really we are not. so of course
Baby Grasshopper isn't, doing any-
thing wrong!”
Raggedy Andy put his hand down
upon Raggedy Ann's apron so thater.
Gregory Grasshopper could step right
off and put Baby Gramhopper into her
luaby buggy. and when Baby Grass-
hopper was tied in tightly. he and
Mrs. Grasshopper walked down the
little path and disappeared under the
overhanging grasses. When the Grass-
hopper's were out of hearing. Ragge—

some folks are to find fault with
others!"
“Yes indeed!" Raggedy Andy laugh-

soon see that it is not right!"
"I guess tit..- best way to do. is‘ al-

figures should be conservative and
meet the test of examination. not only
in the present. but in the future when
existing partisan differences are for-
gotten and the record for impartiality
and non-partisanship of the Budget
Bureau is considered in retrospect by
the unprejudiced mind of the govern-
nu nt economist and student.
"It will be noted that the director
of the budget. out of total estimated
expenditures of 33.922.373.03“ for
1922. ‘classifles only 31.765.875.67: as
being generally subject to executive
control in the operation of the routine
business of government. These figures
compare with actual expenditures un-
der the same categories in 1921 of
$2.673.435.079.‘segrated out of a. total
annual expenditure for the operatiion
'of the routine business of government
generally subject to executive control
in 1922 as compared with 1921 will he.
'therefore. in the neighborhood of
13907.500,000.
‘ “As against this enormous total re—
duction the estimate of economies and
savings incident to the new imposi-
tion of executive control over govern-
u-entui expenditures in 1922 is esti—
.mnted by the director of the' budget
in this report at the lesser sum of
$260.1“.835. He feels reasonably as-
isured that this estimate of economies
and savings attributable to the new
system is an underestimate. but that.
it effort has been made in this regard
the savings and economies are still so
Ltrgc as to vindicate it. and will at
the some time emphasize the indis-
pensible policy of the Budget Bureau
_to' have its estimates conformable to
the principles of business conserva-
tism.
"In (E :59 figures the director of the
budget has found it impomible to
make any reliable estimate or some
indefinite general savings. such as
those incident to the corrected system
of purchasing which has been estab-
lished in the government. by which
competition between departments and
the over-lapping and acquiring or un-
necessary surplus has been avoided

Mr. Dawes paid his respects to the
present "archaic system of gorcrn-
mental accounting."v declaring that
the public can never be fully informed
as to the business opt-ration of the
govcrmncnt until-it is reformed. He
criticised particularly “the present.
system of vernmcnt accounting.
which calls e loan of money to the
railroads an ‘expensc.’ and the return
of money loaned a ‘rcccipt.’ ,Such op—
erations. he said, almost upset the es-
timated figures for this year to the
extent of about $393,000.000,
"An accounting situation like this."
he asserted. “might be regarded as
humorous in a small business. It is
nothing short of a calamity in gov-
ernme’ntal accounting."
The budget director explained in de—
tail the relation of deficiency and sup-
plemental appropriations to the bud»

deficiency estimates submitted by the
Budget Bureau. amounting to 3507.

Mr. Dawes. ..“The expenditures so
