Urgring- that it is imperative for heads of states and nations to practice the strictest economy as a postwar measure, Governor Bamberger indorsed the national budget system for the financial management manage-ment of the federal government in a letter - addressed yesterday to the national budget bud-get committee in New York. The letter follows: "Taxes will continue to grow out of all proportion to population, unless public sentiment brings sufficient pressure to bear upon congress to adopt a federal budget. Only our great wealtii has enabled us to 'carry on' with the crude, costiy financial administration congress has been giving us for decades. "The postwar reconstruction period must be a period of economy if we, as a nation, are to continue as a world leader. "A budget system would insure a balance bal-ance between the government's gruss revenue and gross expenditure. Our present pres-ent system, which permits the ten major executive departments to submit their own estimates independently, provides no such balance. "I believe that these estimates should be reviewed by single committees of both house and senate, or by a joint committee commit-tee of the two. This will prevent the duplication du-plication that is bound to creep into appropriation ap-propriation measures when fourteen committees com-mittees of the house and fifteen committees commit-tees of the senate have the power uf initiating money bills." |
