2 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1913. IN FAVOR OF BUDGET president Would Have Gov- £ ernment Finances Conduct- .* ed by Budget System f (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 18.—President ■'%'ilson Is in favor of a budget system for the conduct of the government finanoes. He made public today a letter written on June 30 from Trenton to Senator Tillman, expressing the hope that a budget system might be work ed out after he got to Washington. President Wilson wrote in part: ‘'Ever since I was a youngster I have been deeply interested in our method of financial legislation. One of the ob jects I shall have most in mind when I get to Washington will be conferences with my legislative collegues there, with a view to bringing some budget sys tem into existence. This business of building up the expenses of the nation, piece by piece, will certainly lead us to error and perhaps embarrassment.” This promises to be a quiet week so cially at the White House. President Wilson will observe Holy week. He wrote a letter to a friend today declin ing an invitation to a theater, saying that he would be glad to go some other time than the week, which by so many people is especially devoted to the more serious concern of religion.

The orchestra leader may announce that he has been so instructed. “That simplicity and modesty in dress distinguish our girls. “That we teach our sons that smok ing during an entertainment planned for their pleasure is a discourtesy to the hostess and her other guests. “That we instruct our boys to end a social call at 10 or 10:30 o’clock.” The members also pledged themselves to frown upon Sunday entertainments and to refrain from having parties'for their children on special nights.

WILSON WON’T ACCEPT GIFTS OF VALUE WASHINGTON, March 18.—President Wilson does not intend to accept gifts of value.

SMITH ON SENATE TARIFF E Democrats of Senate Finance Committee Send Delegation to Ways and Means BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, March 19.-r-Indicative of a disposition on the part of the sen ate to work in harmony with th# house in expediting the revision of the tariff at the extra session of congress, the Democratic members of the finance com mittee in caucus ' today, appointed a committee of four to confer with the ways and means committee of the house about the tariff. Senators Simmons, of North Carolina, chairman; Williams, of Mississippi; Hoke Smith, of Georgia; and Hughes, of New Jersey, constitute the senate commit tee. It is not known when they will meet the ways and means committee, but it is believed the conference will be held at an early date; if not in a day or two, immediately after congress con venes for the extra session. The meeting of the Democrats of the finance committee wax so harmonious as to encourage the benef that the two houses of congress will get along to gether famously. There were no divi sions manifested at the meeting', and every Democrat on the committee voiced not only a hope, but an abiding con viction that they would agree on all essentials of the tariff revision. They believe it possible to harmorflze differ ences as to detail, and there was a general disposition 6f co-operation. The fact that the Democratic mem bers of the finance committee* on their own initiative have appointed a dele gation to confer with the tariff-making body of the house indicates a willing ness to meet the lower house more than half-way, in the hope of reaching a sat isfactory adjustment regarding this question. It is regarded as perhaps the most wholesome of many signs tending to demonstrate the improbability of a clash between the Democratic wings of the two houses. It is not often that the senate, through a committee of individual members of the senate seeks to ascertain sentiment in the house. Tillman Intimates That Martin Framed With Progressives (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, March 19.—Senator Tillman’s unusual speech in the Demo cratic caucus last Friday, when he fail ed acceptance as chairman for tfie ap propriations committee, beame public today when it was printed in full under authority of the senate. References to Senator Martin’s activ ities leading up to his selection for the appropriations chairmanship have arous ed general discussion in congressional circles. • Senator Tillman declared he was un able to understand why Mr. Martin should have withdrawn from the contest for party leader and should then have been given the most important chair manship in the senate. “I would, hate to believe there has been any understanding or any promises or pledges made,” he said. “As I 'have not proof I must perforce leave any ac cusations unsaid. But I cannot help the suspicion that there must have been a deal of some kind, or Senator Martin would have not retired without a show down.” Senator Tillman said he had given up his plan to deliver a vitriolic speech, be cause be wanted to promote party har mony. “Democratic harmony and concert of action are more necessary at this time than anything I know of,” he said. “Democratic discipline is also needed very much, for, as compared with the Republicans, we are an untrained mob.” WIREGRASS COUNTY FAIR ELECTS NEW OFFICERS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
