day In their demands for economy and
ruthless slicing Of appropriations.
Senator emoot. Utah, q leader in
the Senate and in the Senate Appro-

that economy is a necessity II the
government IL going to make bUth
ends meet. He suggested that
special commission of technical ex-
perts be put solely at the command
OF Congress and directed to 60 into
every government department on a
search for ways to economixe.
Il intend to propose such a COM
mission in an amendment to the
Mccormick budget bill, now pend
ing" he said. "The present system
is silly. We have to sit up here and
wait for the heads OF departments to
send in their estimates as to what
they need. They are transmitted
through the Secretary of the Trea-
sury. Then all we can do Is to call
in the men who made the recon-

their requests and we haven't any
