SPROUL FAVORS U.S. BUDGET PLAN Says That Federal Waste Should Be Brought to End by Proper System Along with many other executives of States, Governor William C. Sproul has gone on record in favor of the plan for a federal budget system. The opinions of Governors were obtained by New York people who publish the text to-day. Governor Sproul is quoted this way: "Public condemnation of wasteful appropriations will be futile until enough pressure is brought to bear on Congress to force a radical change in the system used. The United States has the unparalleled situation of separate and indepen dent bills drawing on the treasury. Our Government business is the most carelessly run in the world. "The war cost us billions more than it should have. The ordinary running expenses of the Government are millions of dollars more than they should be. Let us have a fed eral budget system as a relief from the evils of the present utter lack of system." Thirty-two sets of drawings and specifications have been taken out by bridge building concerns for the proposed State Memorial bridge to be erected as a part of the Capitol Park mprovement plans and on which bids will be opened to-morrow at noon. The State Board of Public Grounds and Buildings will sit to open the bids, but it will take a couple of days before an award can be made. Attorney General William I. Shaf fer who came back to Harrisburg to-day said that he intended to lis ten to all that anyone had to say regarding the rent profiteering charges in Philadelphia and that he would advise the Governor as to the law in the premises. State authorities consider that a very satisfactory price was received for the State Livestock farm in Dela ware county, the rate being $357 per acre.

Hlnes, United States Railroad Administrator. By the terms of the new agreement, which It is expected will be formally pub lished in Washington this week, 600,000 men receive the eight-hour day and increases ranging up to twenty cents an hour.

This agreement, labor men said yesterday, would probably obviate a recurrence of troubles in the rail road shops and end the agitation for a general strike which was set for September 2 and postponed on the quest of President Wilson. The strike would have affected 2,000,000 men and seriously crippled the roads of the country. The Beveral International unions submitted the matter to the 6,000 local unions in volved for a new strike vote.

Instances have actually come to light where pupils In one district did not get any schooling to speak of last year while In oth ers it was a matter of weeks rather than months. Dr. Thomas E. Finegan. the new State superintendent of instruction, in announcing appointment of Reed B. Tietrick to be head of the bu reau of attendance, said that he would stand back of him in insist ing thgt children be given facili ties. "It came to my attention" said Dr. Finegan "that in one dis trict of Pennsylvania the school di rectors got into a dispute and the children did not get any schooling. The district was not in good shape and it was desired to send the chil dren to a school in another dis trict, but the directors had a row over transportation or something and did not make arrangements. There are others where failure to provide facilities will be looked into. We have also heard where at tendance* is a matter of irregular ity. As far as lam concerned this law is going to be rigidly enforced. It lias' been on the books a long time and every one knows about it.

The con ference will be so divided that these men will be able to meet informal ly with educators dealing with the various lines in which they may wish to speak and the statements will be carefully studied during the winter. School finance and administra tion will be considered from the standpoint of the taxpayer, the school official and the teacher, while the practical results of spe cialized training, manual, vocation al. agricultural, (• ontt.iuation and other schools, what they turn out and how they can best meet the deeds of every day life will form an important part of the confer ence. Dr. Finegan says that the Con gress shou.d produce valuable re sults for Pennsylvania and that he wants to get representatives of every walk of life to present thoughts on the subject.
