1T IS to be expected that since the
preliminary estimates have been made
under pressure by the executive for
proper retrenchment, where consist
ent with efficiency, It will not be nec-
essary, as heretofore, for congress to
make radical cuts upon the estimates
Of the budget with any uncertainty as
to what will be- the result as it ef.
fects efficiency. The president of the
United States, when he sends the
budget to congress is presumed to
send it with all the reductions in ex.
penditures which can be effected with
out due impairment OF governmental
business processes. In the prepara-
tion of the budget he has had at work
an authorized agency in the bureau

ableness Of desired appropriations,
but in continually imposing pressure
upon the departments for a reduction
in the estimates wherever proper and
possible.
General Dawes says he feels that

"The whole habit of making con.

that this most important reformation
in the governmental business system
is dependent upon the president OF
the United States himself, and upon
his continued assumption of his re.
sponsibility as its business head. The
minute he realizes his attitude Of at
tention to his duty there will be felt
the natural pull Of the departments
and establishments toward the old
system OF complete independence and
decentralization"
General Dawes concludes his report
with this statement:
In making this report the director
of the budget will state that his con-.
nection with the bureau IS limited as
to time, in accordance with. an under
standing which he had with the presi-
dent at the time lof his appointment.
His purpose in making this announce
ment at this time is to emphasize the
fact that his recommendations are

took their time; the rest went pell-mell down
the line.
Business began punctually and furiously,
and continued long and late. All day long
cameras ground out the footage, directors
shrieked, carpenters pounded and electricians
swore. Bandits, priests and maidens saun-
tered arm in arm about the place ready to
respond to call. It was action here, action
there. and action everywhere.
The tanned citizens Of Fort Lee looked on

any old thing. A gang Of bank robbers

No cheerful murmurs ductuate In the gale,
No busy steps the grass-grown footway tread,

deserted by the movies-spurned, forgotten
