- TV1 THE WASHINGTON TDIES. WEDNESDAY, NOVEJIBER 10, 1015. SEEKS WILSON'S I ' FOR BUDGET PLAN Members of Special Committee to Appeal for Pressure in House Caucus. President Wllion will be appealed to nest weeH to bring; pressuro to bear on the Democratic House caucus to adopt the budget plan to be pro posed by the special budpet commit tee now meutltiy here. Denying that this committee waa split up to any extent on the Kind of budget ichemo to be proposed, members of It de clared today that the real split I JIUely to develop In the caucus unless the President gets behind the com mittee plan. The appeal to the President will be made by the committee at a conference which It will have with the President and membera of his Cabinet next week. Chairman Swairar Hherley called at the. White House today to make the ap pointment. He did not see the Presi dent, but left his request with Secre tary Tumilty. Hope For Definite Pln. The House caucus will meet here the Saturday before Congress opens. Hy that time. Mr. Hherley said, he hoped that the committee would have a defi nite plan to propose, so that at this session, ror the first time In the history of the country, something approachlriu a budget system will be Inaugurated. Heforc the committee now are two plsns. one known as the Sherley plan, and the other the product of Chairman John J. Fitzgerald, of the Appropria tions Committee, It was stated today hy a member of the committee that vir tually all except MY. Fltxuerald were Inclined to believe that the FltiKerald plan was Impractical, and that Fltzger nlil himself mlKht come around. His Plan provides that the Appropriations I'omntlttee alone should consider all money hills, after the other committees, such as Military Affairs, Naval Affairs. I'ostefflce, etc., havo psssed on their re spective bills, and the conclusions of the Appropriations Committee submitted to the IIoue ns a whole. Committee of Thirty. The Sherley plan provides for the cre ation of a standing budget committee of thirty men made up of the chairmen find ranking Republican members of the , Mirlous other committees concerned with appropriations and three addition al Democratic members, each from the Ways and Means and the Appropria tions committees. All departmental estimates, on being received In the House, would be sub mitted to the budget committee, which would get from department heads the prospective revenues of the Government and the policy upon which each depart ment has built Its estimates. The bud get committee, considering only total amounts, would present Its report probably majority and minority re portsIn the form of a balance sheet or sheets to the House as a Committee of the Whole. Would Mean General Debate. After arriving at a conclusion on to- tall, the committee of the whole would refer the separate estimates back to the respective subcommittees dealing wiin me several matters, limiting these subcommittees only to the maximum totals agreed on. In this way, Mr. Bherley thinks, the country at the very outset of the session would be treated to a general debate on fiscal matters and would know lust what to expect. It Is conceded by the friends of the Bherley plan that strong opposition will develop In the Democratic caucus from members who will be disposed to criticise the scheme on the ground that It provides too great a concentration of fowcr In the proposed budget commit ee. and would prevent a general share in the benefits from the bills pissed. Tor this reason It Is deemed absolutely necessary that the Democratic caucus shall be made to get behind the plnn and pledge reluctant members to sup port it.
