State and City Budgets. In most of the States appropria- tions for the support of the State government are under the exclusive control of the legislature. Wh^re this is true the legislative leaders are the undisputed masters of State finance. In about half the States, however, in order to remedy the evils of indiscriminate and unsystematic ac- tion by the legislature, the budget system has been intro- duced ; that is, the governor, or some administrative board, submits to the legislature an ite...mized statement of the fiinancial needs of all the State departments. This state- ment is used as a basis for legislative action when appro- priations are being made. In a few States an item of the budget may be stricken out or decreased by the legislature, STATE FINANCE 289 but may not be increased by that body.

In Maryland the constitution expressly restricts the legislature in respect to its power when dealing with the items of the budget.
