The Preparation of the State Budget
By Abraham S. Weber Director of the Budget
With a budget of approximately
$300,000,000 required annually for its
operation, New York State stands
cout as one of the biggest businesses
in the United States.
To prepare a budget distributing
this tremendous sum amongst the
many services the State provides its
13,000,000 people is a substantial
chore in itself, Add to this respon-
sibility that of estimating revenues
to meet budget requirements and bud-
get preparation becomes a highly in-
tricate, arduous task.
Requests by departments for appro-
priations are required to be in the
hands of the Budget Director by Oc-
tober 15th and the Governor must
transmit the budget to the Legisla-
ture by the following January 15, ex-
cept in a gubernatorial year when a
newly elected Governor has an addi-
tional two weeks to February 1 to
complete his budget.
As quickly as possible after each
department submits its request ex-
aminers verify all data in the request.
If the requested appropriations and
related information are in proper
form, the examiner proceeds to ana-
lyze the request in the light of past
appropriations and expenditures. Fol-
lowing the examiner's analysis, hear-
ings are conducted by the Budget Di-
rector on each request. Every item
in the request is subject to searching
review. Unusual items and all in-
creases must be fully explained and
justified. When a satisfactory jus-
tification of any item is not forth-
coming, its chances for ultimate in-
clusion in the budget are slight. Not
only does the Budget Director ques-
tion the appropriateness and desira-
bility of requests, but he also inquires
as to the future usefulness of any
contemplated project and its relation
to other State activities,
After the hearings, revision of re-
quests is frequently necessary. Some
items must be eliminated entirely;
others require rearrangement or con-
solidation. Still others may be re-
duced or altered on the basis of facts
presented at the hearings.
When the Budget Director has
made the necessary revisions in the
requests and the Governor has ap-
proved the amounts to be allocated to
cach agency of government, the ap-
propriation phase of preparing the
State budget is complete.
It should be remembered that the
appropriations recommended in the
budget are predicated on the broad,
general policy of uniformity. It is
an essential feature of budgeting for
large governmental units that finan-
cial policy to be successful must be
both adequate and impartial.
No discrimination is permissible in
the consideration of any request. All
must be treated alike. An item of
$5.00 for freight receives the same
careful, searching scrutiny accorded
a request of $450,000 for retesting
cattle, Equally unprejudiced atten-
tion would be applied to a change in
the salary request for a Junior Clerk
in the Tax Department at $900 as to
a change requested for an Assistant
Commissioner in the Social Welfare
Department at $4,750.
This policy of complete impartial-
ity found practical application in the
financial crisis of 1933. The State
was compelled to retrench on all
fronts in order to preserve its finan-
cial integrity and credit. Savings
were imperative and in the large item
of personal service a substantial sav-
ing appeared advisable. Several plans
were suggested, but in keeping with
the established policy of uniformity
of action in fiscal matters, the plan
adopted spread the necessary deduc-
tion through all the departments,
No department bore a dispropor-
tionate share of the burden, Low in-
come groups, were of course, spared
this deduction, bu. a systematic scale
of deductions was imposed affecting
in the same manner all other em-
ployees above a given salary level in
every department. The cheerful ac-
ceptance of this temporary program
by the faithful army of State em-
ployees was a very real and practical
contribution in the service of the
State at a critical moment in its finan-
cial affairs.
Consistency motivates the action
taken on all personal service requests.
In considering requests for new po-
sitions and changes in line items, it
is budget policy of long standing to
insist that new titles and changed sal-
aries conform generally to similar po-
sitions and salaries throughout the
State service. It is my firm belief
that duties of the same character
should receive equal compensation
and title wherever performed in the
State's many departments and bu-
reaus. By continuous adherence to
this policy, I am hopeful there will
be an increasing number of State em-
ployees on a more nearly equal foot-
ing in the near future. In this ef-
fort the Department of Civil Service
has been fully co-operating, particu-
larly in providing the expert classi-
fication of duties necessary to deter-
mine in what salary grouping and
title ranking any given position prop-
erly belongs.

Constitution set an apparent budget

Cooperative Housing
The Executive Committee of the
New York City Chapter of our As-
scciation at a recent meeting adopted
a resolution to assist in the organ-
ization of a Co-operative Limited
Dividend Housing Association for
promoting such a project under the
supervision of the New York State
Board of Housing.
‘The plan was initiated through the
efforts of Mr. Samuel Seldon, Cer-
tified Public Accountant, who is
Chairman of the Co-operative Hous-
ing Committee, of the New York
City Chapter of this Association. It
it reported that immediate action is
necessary because of the rapidly in-
creasing difficulty in securing decent
housing accommodations ac moderate
rentals and in view of predictions by
nationally known real estate experts
that an acute housing shortage is now
in the offing, It is also indicated that
construction costs will greatly in-
crease in the near future.
This project is an attempt to im-
prove the living conditions of Civil
Service Employees by means of
apartment houses including all con-
veniences to rent for $11 per room
per month, Similar accommodations
in new houses cost considerably more.
Desirable locations in several Bor-
coughs of New York City are under
consideration and those members who
are interested in obtaining the bene-
fits and advantages of participation
in this plan, should communicate
promptly with Mr. Edward A. Selle,
President of the New York City
Chapter, at 80 Centre Street, New
York City, or with Mr. Samuel Sel-
don, Chairman of Housing Commit-
tee, in care of the State Department
of Audit and Control, 80 Centre
Street, New York City.
The State Board of Housing re-
ports phenomenal success of the four-
teen projects previously completed
under the New York law and calls
particular attention to their contin-
ued success throughout the depres-
sion, to the small percentage of va-
cancies in completed apartments and
to the low rental costs enjoyed by
persons co-operating. If the inter-
est from State Employees is imme-
diate and considerable, Mr. Seldon
believes that the 20-year tax exemp-
mn feature can be extended by an
amendment to the law at the next
legislative session.
Enough of This
It is certainly time that those who
believe in honesty and common de-
cency repudiate once and for all the
studied and deliberately unfair mi:
representations put forward in politi-
cal campaigns for mercenary or other
selfish purposes. This applies to in-
sincere partisans of all political par-
ties.
The Civil Service employees of
this State were shocked by an exhi-
bition of irresponsible campaigning
through the means of a letter which
reached many State employees only
a few days before election when it
was impossible because of lack of
time to print and distribute cither re-
pudiation or answer. The letter was
headed “Civil Service Employees
Committee” and was signed with the
following names:
Michael Branaghan, Chairman
Aaron Arnold
Philip F. Brueck
Herbert D. Caulfield
Adolph Freifeld
John D. Keleher
Leopold V. Rossi, Secretary
The letter was a base attack upon
the Civil Service record of Gov-
ernor Herbert H. Lehman who has
been outstanding in upbuilding and
defending Civil Service principles.
This Association received many
communications showing disapproval
of this unfair letter and it knows
that every State employee deeply re-
sents the injuries done to the merit
system and the gross injustice to
Governor Lehman, by those respon-
sible for circulating this document.
It is certain that Judge Bleakley had
no hand in such an attempt to turn
civil service into partisan politics,
The Association on behalf of the
merit system repudiates heartily both
the Committee and their letter as
enimical to the interests and ideals
of the civil service system and the
highest good of State employees.

The State Department of Public
Works, Division of Highways, suf-
fered the loss of a long-time em-
ployee in the death of Byron C.
Moses of Geneseo after an illness of
several months. Mr, Moses was a
member of the Association and was
County Assistant Engineer in charge
of construction and maintenance of
highways in Livingston County, The
funeral was held on October 27th and
a large group from the Rochester
District office attended the services.
He is survived by his wife and two
sons.
Rochester Chapter will hold its
regular December Meeting on Decem-
ber 2nd, at 8:15 P. M., at Room 709,
‘Terminal Building, on Broad Street.
Standing Committee Chairmen will
be appointed at this meeting so that
the Chapter will begin the year’s ac-
tivities with all committees prop-
erly organized and ready to function.
The Rochester Chapter will hold
its first social affair on Saturday
evening, December 5th, at the Roch-
ester Business Institute Auditorium
on Clinton Ave, South. This will
be the first time that State employees
in the Rochester area have had an
opportunity to meet with their co-
workers socially under their own au-
spices. For this reason a large at-
tendance is expected by the Commit-
tee in charge. Dancing and cards
will be the main entertainment of the
evening but the Committee is also
working on other attractions. Invi-
tations are extended to other district
groups to join with the Rochester

Salary Schedules
The platforms of both of the political parties in
this State subscribe to the principle that the merit
system should continue to be improved and strength-
ened so that citizens may enter the Civil Service of
the State as a career. Citizens cannot look forward
to civil service as a career if, after winning their first
appointment by the merit system, they must depend
upon influence or favoritism for advancement. There
must be some system for recognizing merit and ac-
cording normal advances to employees who demon-
strate their ability by efficient service.
Several branches of the State service have adopted
the system of prescribing standard minimum and max-
imum salaries for certain positions, with specified an-
nual increments for efficient service. These systems
have worked out very satisfactorily from the stand-
point of the appointing officers as well as the em-
ployees.
The salaries of the majority of employees in the
State service are, however, still regulated on a hit or
miss basis. Employees in one department sometimes
receive considerably less than employees in another
department performing essentially the same duties.
Those who are familiar with the present chaotic con-
dition recognize the need for the equalization of the
salaries of those performing similar duties, and the
necessity for a uniform salary schedule.
The following is a brief summary of schedules now
in effect in certain branches of the State service:

The Preparation of the State Budget
preparatory period of approximately
three months. This period exists be-
tween October 15th, the last day for
filing budget requests, and January
15th or February Ist, when the bud-
get must be submitted to the Legis-
lature, It is, however, more appar-
ent than real. The actual formula-
tion of the budget document does take
place at this time but much founda-
tion work has been done months
ahead, long before the appropriation
requests are delivered to the budget
office. Planning for the establish-
ment of an eight-hour day for em-
ployees of State institutions illus-
trates how basic budget problems are
accorded much preliminary study.
Governor Lehman in his 1936 bud-
get message recommended an appro-
priation for the establishment of the
eight-hour day. To arrive at any rea-
sonable estimate of the cost it was
necessary first to determine the num-
ber of employees affected and what
the rearrangement of hours would
mean in terms of increased mainte-
nance and administration costs. This
problem fell quite logically on the
Governor's budget office for solution.
Long before the Governor was
ready to include in his budget a rec-
ommendation for the eight-hour day,
investigations and conferences were
held with department officials and in-
stitution officers to work out the de-
tails, Data accumulated had to be
checked and analyzed far in advance
of the actual budget-making period.
‘When the time did arrive to make up
the new budget, sufficient facts had
already been garnered to permit of a
definite recommendation by the Gov-
ernor,
Total appropriation requests al-
lowed represent the minimum essen-
tials of conducting the State’s activi-
ties. It is now necessary to provide
the funds to carry out the appropria-
tion program.
On its face, our budget system
seems like a “cart before the horse”
procedure in that we ascertain nec-
essary expenditures for the ensuing
year first and then proceed with the
preparation of a revenue plan to se-
cure the funds needed. While or-
dinary business prudence might dic-
tate the formulation of an income
plan prior to the determination of
expenditures, we cannot justifiably
Continued from Page 3
place the State on such a footing. A
business is organized solely for profit.
Its expenditures depend wholly on its
income and capital. The State is pri-
marily an institution created for
service. What this service shall be
depends on the will of the people as
expressed through legislative enact-
ments. The measure of the cost is
limited directly to the services pro-
vided.
Health activities, correctional work,
social welfare problems and State aid
are some of the major services which
the people have sought and for which
they are willing to pay. It follows,
therefore, that so long as demand
comes first through statutory action
and popular expression, the task of
creating the taxing plan must wait
until the total expenditure program
is well established.
Devising a revenue plan that will
provide a given amount of funds is
an exceedingly difficult and delicate
operation, In preparing New York
State’s revenue plan, the hazards of
accurately forecasting the tax yield
are tremendous. Our tax structure
consists in the main of special taxes
which usually fluctuate in income
with the variations of the economic
barometer. If business is good, the
tax yield will probably meet or ex-
ceed expectations. Any recession in
business activity will be reflected by
a decrease in State revenues.
Proof of our variable tax system is
afforded when one scrutinizes State
financial history. Commencing short-
ly after the first effects of the eco-
nomic depression were felt, State rev-
enues dropped and continued to di-
minish as business conditions grew
worse. Immediately attendant upon
the return of prosperity, the State
taxes returned a measurably larger
amount of revenue. The trend over
the past fiscal year reflected a healthy
condition that augers well for a bal-
anced budget in the near future.
The State’s method of budgeting
requires anticipating tax yields for as
much as eighteen months ahead to
the end of the next fiscal year. In
that interim, business fluctuations may
well be such as to materially alter
any human estimate. By careful ob-
servation of tax yields over an ex-
tended period of time, some degree
of reliability in forecasting is ascer-
tainable. Continual revision and com-
parison with outside expert opinion
offers the only other aid to arriving
at an adequate program,
A budget as large as New York’s
usually requires some adjustment to.
balance appropriations with estimated
revenues. If the expenditure pro-
gram exceeds the revenue estimate,
two courses are open: Decrease ex-
penditures or increase revenues by re-
vising the tax structure or adding
new taxes. Which of the two steps
is taken depends largely on economic
conditions and the urgency of ex-
penditure items,
Adjustment of revenue estimates to
expenditures brings the actual docu-
mentary work of budgeting to its
final stage. We are now close to the
deadline when the document goes to
the printer and in a few days must
be delivered to the Legislature. This
final period is fully consumed by the
mechanics of verifying and correcting
the printer's work, Much proof-
reading is necessary and with the last
correction the document is ordered
printed for submission to the Legis-
lature,
The budget division does not con-
clude its work when the budget
reaches the Legislature. That body
has the right to strike out or add
items in the budget or revise it down-
ward. Whatever the action taken by
the Legislature, the changes made
must be thoroughly analyzed as a
necessary adjunct to regular budget-
ary routine. Further appropriations
may be made by the Legislature after
action has been had on the main bud-
get bill. There are many such meas-
ures passed ever year and they re-
quire proper analysis by the budget
experts.
The Legislature, responding to de-
mands of the people, may by statu-
ents embark the State on
ies which will add to the
State’s financial load. To enable
proper provision in subsequent bud-
gets, the budget division must pre-
pare statistics and data covering the
projected activity in detail,
Thus budget-making is not a tem-
porary or seasonal chore. It seems
its work is truly never done. The
work of yesterday, today and tomor-
row merge in an endless chain of ac-
tivity.

THE STATE EMPLOYEE
Association Sets Record as to Credit Unions
By Lewis S
Edward A. Filene, Father of the Credit Union Movement in America,
welcomes Governor Herbert H. Lehman into the State Employee Credit
Union, as Lewis S. Armento, Chairman of our Credit Union Committee
looks on,
A new record in establishing and
developing credit unions to serve per-
sons having a common employer has
become a reality due to the efforts
of our Credit Union Committee in
co-operation with the Credit Union
Section of the Farm Credit Admin-
istration in Washington. ‘The com-
mon employer is the State of N
York.
In January, 1935, the first credit
union to serve State employees in
this State was organized, namely,
“The N, Y. State Albany Employees’
F.C. U,,” and since that date, due
am large measure to a_ carefully
planned program of publicity and dis-
semination of information by the As-
sociation concerning the credit union,
twenty-five additional State-employee
groups secured their charters and are
supplying the saving and borrowing
needs of State employees, This As-
sociation will continue its efforts
along this line until every State em-
ployee may find a credit union to
serve him readily accessible.
It is pleasing to print herein state-
ments of men who are mainly respon-
sible for this new record; also a list
of the officers and directors of the
credit unions thus far established,
who have done such splendid work
in their own localities and who we
wish to congratulate on their un-
selfish efforts to serve their fellow
employees; and also a chart, on
pages 8 and 9, which gives salient
information enabling ready compari-
son of the development of the va-
rious credit unions thus far estab-
lished among State employee groups.
Of course it is not the purpose of
this article to explain the benefits or
advantages of the credit union; that
is not necessary as the wholesale ac-
ceptance of the credit union idea by
State employee groups is greater
proof than anything that could be
printed herein, as to the merits of
the credit union.
The following is a statement by
Edward A. Filene, popularly known
as “The Father of the Credit Union
Movement in America,” written espe-
cially for our magazine:
“It isn’t mere chance that the
Credit Union movement is mak-
ing such seemingly phenomenal
progress throughout America to-
day. It is a distinct sign of our
times.
Armento Chairman, Credit Union Committee
“Other mass movements, based
upon mere protest, flare up like
rockets and as suddenly fade, but
the Credit Unions go steadily, al-
though rapidly, forward. This is
not merely because they provide
such an almost indispensable
service to their members, in
granting them help when they
must have help and cannot get it
elsewhere. It is quite as impor-
tantly, because, in the great so-
cial change through which the
world is now passing, this move-
ment is, socially considered,
equally practicable and equally
indispensable.
“America is moving toward
economic democracy, toward es-
tablishing the right to earn a liv-
ing, and the right of those who
produce our National wealth to
such wages and such buying-
power as may be needed to keep
our machinery of production go-
ing and thus to keep themselves
profitably employed. This nec-
essarily includes the democratiza-
tion of the control of money.
Such democracy, however, can-
not be achieved by any mere
manifesto, and it cannot be hand-
ed down by political authorities.
It must be learned. It must be
practiced, as it is being learned
and practiced in the Credit
Unions. I am heart and soul in
the Credit Union movement,
therefore, not merely because the
Credit Unions are doing so much
good, in the old sense, but be-
cause America must have such a
movement if it is to achieve its
democratic goal of equal oppor-
tunity for all.”

ment of C. R. Orchard, Director of

ing the record for organizing Fed-

unions of the New York State
government employees.
“These groups stand out con-
spicuously as comprising the
largest block of Federal Credit
Unions yet organized under a.
single employment in any one
State. Twenty-seven Federal
charters have been issued to
these groups, and all but one of
the credit unions thus authorized
to do business are now function-
ing.
“This gratifying record I
ascribe primarily to the fact that
New York was one of the pi-
oneer states in the credit union
movement in this country. Fora
quarter of a century her citizens.
have been learning the value of
the plan of handling their savings
co-operatively,
“More immediately, the multi-
plication of credit unions among
the State government personnel
has been due to the fine enthusi-
asm shown by leaders in the
movement in spreading a knowl-
edge of credit union benefits
among their fellow workers, I
am glad of this opportunity to
pay a deserved tribute to their
initiative and zeal.
“The credit union is destined
to become one of the leading and
most valued institutions of Amer-
ican life. I congratulate you on
having taken so prominent a
place in the vanguard of a move-
ment which holds such promise
of good for the country’s rank
and file.”

Uniform salary schedules are not an untried experi-
ment. They have been in successful operation in the
Federal as well as the State government for many
years. Experience has shown that, by preventing dis-
crimination and favoritism, they tend to improve the
morale and efficiency of employees. Perhaps the most
satisfactory plan is the one that las been in effect
with reference to teachers and employees of the Boards
of Education throughout the State. This plan, with
appropriate modifications, can be adapted to the re-
quirements of the State service. The Civil Service of
the State of New York cannot truly be deemied a ca-
reer until the prevailing method of fixing salaries is
remedied by the adoption of a uniform and equitable
salary plan,
The Salary Committce and Counsel are at present
drafting legislation along these lines for introduction
at the coming session of the Legislature.

Insurance Plan
Expands
Our group plan of accident and
sickness insurance now covers nearly
four thousand State employees, in all
departments of the State and in all
cities where State employees are lo-
cated.
The Department of Mental Hy-
giene, with its large number of em-
ployees, leads in number of employees
covered; the Tax Department is next
and then the Health Dept. and Pub-
lic Works Dept. are running a close
tie.
Albany has over 1200 employees in
sured, Syracuse is next, then Pough-
keepsie, Buffalo, Industry, Rochester
and Rome in the order named,
Hudson River State Hospital leads
all institutions, with Marcy State
Hospital next, and Utica State Hos-
pital next.
Approximately $10,000 has been
paid on claims or is being held for
claims pending settlement. Entire
satisfaction has been expressed by
employees as to the handling of
claims,
First Day Sickness Coverag
In discussing the Group Accident
and Sickness Insurance Plan with
employees, the question is often asked
“Why is sickness not covered from
the first day?”
Our group plan policy pays for ill-
ness beginning with the eighth day
of disability—the first seven days are
not covered,
It is readily apparent that if cov-
erage was extended over the first
seven days, there would be many
claims, most of them only amounting
to five and six dollars. The cost of
paying the indemnities on all claims
is not the only factor, there is an-
other consideration, and that is the
cost of handling each claim. If nu-
merous claims resulted from first
day sickness coverage, then the cost
of handling the claims would be con-
siderable,
It has been the experience with
this type of insurance, that the bene-
fits to be derived from first day sick-
ness coverage does not really justify
the additional premium increase nec-
essary to give this additional pro-
tection. As stated above the addi-
tional cost of having this added cov-
erage is quite substantial due to the
fact there are expenses involved in
handling each claim. In many cases
the cost of handling the claim to the
company would exceed the amount
paid as indemnity.
The real purpose of this insurance
is to care for the extended illnesses,
where in some cases the income of
the employee is discontinued because
of his inability to perform his duties,
and other additional costs always con-
nected with sickness or accident dis-
abilities which become overburden-
some.
Sickness insurance is needed be-
cause 85% of all disabilities on the
average are caused by sickness. Men
have an average disability due to
sickness every ten years of about
eighty days and women about one
hundred and twenty days—if you
haven't been sick that period in the
last ten years, just look what lies
ahead of you,

T LEAST that’s what my husband sa:
A «Since I’ve been using milk in cook-
ing. Funny, I always knew that milk had
more nutrition value than any other food
I could buy. But I forgot that it was so
cheap. 1 just suddenly realized that milk
was the one food that hadn't gone up in
price and that actually it was the most
economical food I could buy.
I sent for New York State's free recipe
book and got all sorts of fascinating
ideas for delicious ways to use milk every
day. The good old fashioned vegetables
turn up in a different way each night,
now ... go farther, taste better.
And I'm sure my family’s getting prop-
er nourishment. The calcium in milk has
helped my complexion, too. And it helps
keep our alkaline reserve up to par...
which means we have plenty of pep.
