His committee is the more important now
because of the merger that has been effected
of all appropriating agencies In the House
into the one big Appropriations Committee.

Dawes Demands More Action
Than a Motion Picture Director

To them this man, once a bureau chief
himself. is a strange being from another
world He says what he believes and means
what he says to the fullest shading Of a
picturesque vocabulary. He demands more
action in a minute than motion picture
director does in six reels, and action is
necessary to keep up with him. The new
Budget Director means business. and 10
Washington he is the best result getter
who has ever come to public office. even
before his commission was made out or ne
was given legal status under the budget
law the General began to get action.
Gen. Dawes said at the start that ne
would not wait for the budget system to go
into operation. So he began to do things.
From the train he caught taxi over 10
the White House the day after he was ap-
pointed. Within half an hour he had the
Presidents authority to go ahead.
The General named his staff of personal
assistants Immediately, and called meeting
of all bureau chiefs in every executive de-
partment in Washington, besides all of the
scores of independent establishments. many
of which grew mushroomlike when war was
declared and still remain badly inflated, both
as to personnel and expenditures
This meeting was unprecedented. The
President and his Cabinet were on the stage
of the Interior Department auditorium,
while the mair. body of the hall was filled
to the doors with subordinate officers upon
whose aid Gen. Dawes must rely II he is
to make a success of the budget system.

The Music He Will Turn Loose
Is the Kind to Please Taxpayer,

The kind OF music Gen. Dawes will turn
loose in Washington will be the kind that
every burdened taxpayer wants to hear. He
has settled down to that Job with a will It's
going to be bad music for the political
tricksters who have fed so heavily at the
public trough. But II will seem sweet to the
public crying for reductions In spending of
public funds.
Gen Dawes at work is n whirrwind. He
snaps out his orders with true military
pep" He gets results and gets them
quickly. Those who are associated with him
are highly trained experts. They know the
Dawes methods. Many OF them have been
with him for decade or longer.
Probably the most vital cog in the entire
Dawes machine Is Francis Kilkenny Chi
cago banker. When Kilkenny is around Gen.
Dawes tears through a mass of work with
lightning rapIdity.
Dawes and Kilkenny are almost insep-
arabic. Dawes found" Kilkenny when he
was Comptroller Of the Currency. II Gen.
Dawes had to part with all his other as
sistants and had to choose between them
he probably would pick Kilkenny and stack
his last dollar on him. Before Gen. Dawes
finishes the Job mapped out for him by the
Administration Kilkenny win play a very
important part though he will do II incon-
spicuously and with only thoughts Of duty
to his big chief and to Uncle Sam.

Warns That Every Man Must Work
To Stay in Government Service

The old methods of spending Government
money have gone to outrageous lengths.
Bureaus have consistently overestimated,
expecting Congress to cut. They spent
every dollar allowed and more. Every man
must now work for the Government corpora
tion get out. The Government is the
biggest business in the land, and it should
be run accordingly.
Every man must make good The man
who cannot save in his office will bring
some economy to the Government through
the saving Of his salary for he will surely
be separated from it.
"I have told every bureau and division
chief that they must make economies and
that those who do not must go. In this I
don't want to stampede the honest men
who have been cutting down all the time
and are now on economical basis, and
know that bureau chiefs can be easily stam-
peded. We will guard against Gripping any
portion of Government work. But there Is
one kind of stampede we will have, and that
is a stampede for economy if have to per-
sonaly jab every man who has anything to
do with spending to start him off,"
Gen. Dawes is carried in who's Who" as
a financier. He has been prominent in the
business world for many years, but 1t was
only recently, at the age of 56, that he came
fully into the public eye through dexterous
use of a vocabulary that went uncensored

Washington, ID. C., July 3.
~ FFICIAL Washington, blase TO many
things, and particularly 10 changing
~ Administrations and popular poll
cies that flare and wane, is rubbing its eyes.
Minor officials in a settled routine of gen.
erations of motheaten precedent and pro-
cedure are disturbed. They are all a-flutter
and as restless as stray covey in field
full of dogs. And all because Charles Gates
Dawes has come back to official life.
When President Harding sounded the
slogan for more business in Government 1t
was generously applauded, but Old Man
Routine in Washington and his time tried
comrade Precedent just snickered How
could they know that Gen. Dawes was to
ride the race, and that they were to meet
an entirely new type of Government execu-
tive?
In the person of the General a new dynam-
ic force struck the capital. Officialdom was
jolted In fact it is quite upset. When the
General was made Budget Director he came
n on the next train and things began to
happen Bureau chiefs are taking stock.
The General was largely famous for his
Hell an Maria" sobriquet earned in shis
description of Congressional Investigations
and Investigators And now after a brief
period the sobriquet doesn't nearly express
the views of officialdom as represented by
the subordinate officers of the Executive
Government.

First Gained Political Prominence
As Supporter of Mckinley

Gen. Dawes first attained political promi-
nence back in 1896 as a supporter of WILL
lam Mckinley, then a candidate for the
Presidency. A young man then, he was
the guiding genius of movement in Illinois
which resulted in the Illinois delegation
going to the Springfield convention with a
solid block of votes for Mckinley. Dawes
was appointed Comptroller of the Currency
in 1897 and served in that office until 1902.
He established a reputation in that office
as an official of remarkable talents. Soon
after resigning Comptroller he became
the head of the Chicago bank and has ever
since been it's executive head.
Away from the cares of business he romps
like a boy at play. One of his favorite
diversions is golf. He is member of several
big golf and country clubs at Chicago, and
since coming to Washington has found time
for his only diversion in an hour or two
on one of the local golf links. But while
he Is on the job here Gen. Dawes probably
will find little time for pleasure. Discussing
the immensely of his task, Gen. Dawes said
1t meant burning the midnight oil for him
self and for the others who are to be held
responsible for the cuts In public expendi-
lures.

Courage and Frankness Mark
The Budget Directors Character

Gen. Dawes brings into play characteristics
that are seldom seen these days. He has a
hatred of frauds in any form. He despises
hypocrisy He loves frankness In his own
words he likes to "see the cards laid on the
table" He believes in being open and above
board all of the time. everywhere. He is a
man of infinite courage Sometimes ne loses
self restraint and let's loose a torrent OF
high power cuss words that would do credit
to any sailor. But that's Dawes. He ex-
presses himself very bluntly and without
hesitation. Ask him his opinion and you
get it without delay. Ask him his reasons
and he is right back at you with an answer
just quickly.
There's no camoufage about Gen. Dawes
He refers laughingy at times to his fame
as Hell an Maria" gained by his vociferous
denunciation of Congressional investigators
and their methods a few months ago at the
Capitol. But cuss words don't make up all
of the Dawes vocabulary. They simply flash
out on occasions when restraint is dropped
for emphasis.
It's when Dawes runs up against an in
dividual who offers him what is known in
curbstone parance as bunk that he loses
his temper completely and fires away, hittlnS
everything within range.
Damn EN-" he said day or two ago, Il
dislike some of these pitiful little PERSONAL
ties who have strutted around in Govern
ment service for years, imposing themselves
on capable workers. through desire to WELD
a little bit of power or to play politics.
ITO hell with that type of man in Govern
ment service. That fellow must go and go
quickly. He's not the kind that makes for
efficiency. especially in Government. His
crime is to hold the loyal and deserving
fellows down. What we want in reconstruct
ing this great business concern of the Gov
ernment-the biggest business corporation in

lishment and rid ourselves of such objection

Not only has Gen. Dawes clasped to his
bosom the Harding slogan for more business
in Government. but is equally enthusiastic
over the twin, less Government in business.

ings he is not going to overlook any chances
to increase Government efficiency. He said
that the problem can be worked out, al
thought it will require little time to do it.
That it will be done Gen. Dawes is SUI
premey confident.
Gen. Dawes is no stranger on the political
stage. Coming back again into public service
he will WELD power that for one man is
unprecedented in the history of the Govern
ment. except, of course, in the case of the
President himself.
Under the authority given by the law. and
by regulations now approved by the Presi-
dent, Gen. Dawes holds the purse strings of
the nation. Every dollar spent must be- ap-
proved by him. This applies not only to
funds that Congress has already made avail
the Treasury, but 1t also has to do with all
future estimates for appropriations made by
Government agencies for public require
ments
Gen. Dawes has set out to save, If pos
sible, as much $900,0000 900 of the $780,
100000 set aside by Congress to run the
Government during the current fiscal year.
Director Dawes has spent most of his
business life in the quiet methodical con-
fines of a big banking house. But he can
rip loose in spectacular style in big poti->
cal gathering, with all the trimmings added,
and he is perfectly at home buffeting around
in promiscuous crowd
He is the head of the Central Trust Com
pany of Chicago, one of the strongest bank
ing concerns in the middle West, and he is
also closely identified with many other busi-
ness enterprises, either as large investor
or in their directorates. He is actively
identified with gas company projects in sew
eral Western cities

Earth In Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely slow, but all the
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours or
daylight increasing with the advancing
year, but to days as timed by the
revolution of the earth on its axis.
The earth's power of rotation, says
writer in the Popular Science
Monthly, is growing weaker and as a
result its revolution on its axis Is
slowing up. Which means, OF course,
that the day is lengthening.
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day will be equal in length
to the year; that is, to the time 1t
takes for us to revolve about the sun.
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luminary.
just as the moon now always turns the
same face toward us, and one-half of
our planet will have sunshine all the
year, while the other half is in total
and permanent darkness.
That is, If the sun still is shining,
It may become a dim and chilly orb
before then.

on account of the many visitors who
came to see the renowned hero Of the
race track who was passing his last
days at Clay Hill near EPSON.
In those days it was not the custom

the fact that Eclipse was insured for
an enormous sum only made his popu-
