PLAN FOR ECONOMY
Savings Effected by Co-0rdi.
nators Must Go to Re-
serve Fund.

Government officials have been fur.
ther restricted in their funds under
the retrenchment policy, by an order
just issued by the bureau Of the
budget. They must credit to the re.
serve fund established by Gen. Dawes
chief of the budget bureau, any
money which they saved by obtaining
needed materials through the co-ordi.
mating branch of the government.
There has been an opinion among
some government officials that they
might increase their appropriations
for the purchase of materials to some
extent by getting some of the supplies
through transfers through the co-or.
dinators and then using their appro-
priations for other supplies.
Must Credit Savings.
However. the new order blasts this
hope. 1t is an order that is to be
strictly carried out, and officials will
be assigned to ascertain that each de-
partment or bureau which obtains
machinery credit to the reserve fund
every dollar which it would. have cost
them to go on the outside and obtain
the materials.
This order is expected to increase
the reserve fund materially during
Of thousands of dollars are expected
to be saved the government.
Will Transfer Material.
When one department needs sup.
plies and it is ascertained through
the co-ordinating machinery tina,
some other department has them or
hand and does not need them, they
will be transferred to the department
in need. This not only saves the gov.
ernslent from going into the oper
market and buying materials at mar.
ket prices, but 1t saves the amount o1
money which it would have beer
necessary to expend. as this must &C
into the reserve fund of moneys saved
during the year.
For instance, if the Army needs 8
ship and the Shipping Board has one
suited to the purpose for which the
Army intends to use it and for which
the Army has an appropriation with
which to purchase one. it will b<
merely transferred on the books. Blu,
this will not enable, the Army au.
thoritfes to go out and increase their
fleet by purchasing a ship on the
outside. On the other hand, the CHIEF
co-ordinator will require the budget Off.
Ger of the Army to sink in the reserve
fund an amount equal to the purchase
price of the ship at the government
valuation. $50

The District Commissioners issued
a proclamation today calling upon all
Washingtonians to cooperate in maxi
ing the Capital city as clean and at

ment conference to be held here in

Owners Of vacant lots are urged to

THE Commissioners of the District

from abroad in connection with mat
ters of international concern. In or
der that the city may present most
attractive appearance to these visitors
the Commissioners have called upon
all city. officials to make a survey of
lands buildings, storeyards. dumps
and other such places and to take the
steps necessary to correct an un-
slightly conditions. There are many
other unattractfve places on private
property where structures have been
oughly cleared and put in order.
Ask for Cooperation.
"The Commissioners urgently re-
quest all citizens Of Washington to
Cooperate with them in making this
city attractive to our visitors. and to
this end they ask that all vacant lots,
unsightly buildings, unclean yards.
etc. be given attention and steps
taken to correct all unattractive con-
ditfons. Then our visitors from abroad
can realize why Washington is ana
should be the City Beautiful"
The Commissioners feel that the
citizens associations and such organi-
Der of Commerce and Merchants and
Manufacturers Association can play
an important part in carrying out the
purpose of the proclamation by ap-
pealiag to their members to CO.
operate.

grounds, announced today that his

Col Sheriff. renewed his appeal of

the District to refrain from throwing
waste paper. fruit skins and other
litter in the parks.
He expressed the hope that the peo-
ple would heed this appeal religious
ly while the city has as its guests
statesmen from all parts of the world.
1t is known that President Harding

tional Capital appear at its best, 30

President Harding's administration is

In "the city of conversation" as

fair towards each others and towards
the general public.
It is well known that at present,
unless and until wage rates are further
decreased, the costs OF many steel pro.
drcers will lot permit lower selling
prices. This presents a serious prob.
lem. Personally, / think under such
conditions wage rates should not be
reduced until or about the time selling
prices are lowered. | also believe il
would be unjust to further reduce
wage rates before the costs Of living
are lower, not, Of course, including the
exceptional cases already mentioned
where the rates are ex~tortionate, as in
many of the trades particularly. So
far as practicable, all prices and rates
should be adjusted at about the same
time so hat all interested might be
justly and equitably treated. If a gen
eral relative basis has been or can be
found then this should be maintained,
whether it is high or low. All inter
ests must receive the same considera-
ton.
If we rely upon the statements bv
economic and statistical experts. the
country Is now headed in the right di-

cry, though slow at present, will in

There is al abundance of new bust
ness, with both ability and inclination
to place 1t, waiting for further adj
justments which will put costs OF liv.
ing, selling prices, wage rates and
other general incomes on a relative
parity. AS usual, many will wait too
long. There is nothing the matter
with the country; it is with indi.
viduals. Patience, courage and a fair
