a source Of power, Is promised In
the number of applications now be-
fore the Federal Power Commits
sion. ..- -
Reports obtained yesterday by
the United Press. following the first
meeting of the new power commits
sion, show that 100 applications for
water-power sites are to be acted
upon by the commission, which Is
composed Of the Secretaries Of War
Agriculture and Interior.
Huge Expenditures Involved.
In addition to Secretary Weeks
estimate that the projects under
consideration will involve an initial
expenditure of $4,000, ,0o0, 900, 1t was
estimated that further investments
in power transmission and distri-
button and other promotion work
incidental to the original outlay
will bring the total expenditure to
81. .ooo. .ooo. 900.
These estimates allow for con-
fiicts in cases where two or more
corporations have applied for IL
censes on the same site, under the
Congressional act which created
the Federal Power Commission a
year ago.
Applications which are practically
certain of being granted insure a
water-power development in the
next ten years Of 100000 horse

cording to o. C. Merrill, secretary
of the commission.
Sixteen applications were granted
early this month by the old admin
istration. The new commission only
has begun the work of organization
and has granted no permits.
New Applications.

poets great activity in this section.

will eliminate 50 per cent of the

today presents a serious phase of

the West these applications presage

Merrill. five times as much water

ated in six months as had been

PIE SEEKERS TO CAPITOL
Big Patronage Drive Opens as Presi-
dent Harding Comes to
office.

Washington. President Harding
encountered his first big patronage
drive since he entered the White
House.
His offices were besieged by mem
bers of congress and others. most of
whom are understood to have made
recommendations regarding appoint
ments.
The president has made few de-
cisions about any except the highest
appointments of his administration.
Within few days. however. he is ex-
pected to select a considerable num-
Der of men for vacancies on various
government agencies.
One of the subjects to which he
is giving most thought is the mem
bership of the shipping board, but
Secretary Christian said any talk OF
definite selections for the board was
speculation.

HARDING MAKES MOVE FOR PAN
AMERICAN AMITY AT FIRST
CABINET MEETING.
NEW CABINET MAKES BOW
Gathers With Official
Family Following Plan of Presi-
dent-German Situation
Is Considered.

WashingtOn.-Vari aspects of
the nations foreign relations, as well
as problems of administrative organi-
zation. were considered by President
Harding and his department heads at
the first cabinet meeting of the new
administration.
Afterward definite announcement
was made at the war department 1t
in formulating its policy toward the
Rhine situation this government is
not now considering a withdrawal of
the American troops of occupation. It
was learned at the same time that as
another step toward Pan-American
amity the president is preparing to
ask that the senate ratify at once
the long pending treaty with Colon
bia.
Developments in regard to the Pan
ama-Costa Rica hostilities were less
definite. but it is understood the cab
met took cognizance of that situation
and canvassed latest official reports
on the subject The next step awaits
receipt of a reply from Panama to the
American note.
In the realm of domestic questions,
major attention was directed toward
perfection of the cabinet organization
as a smoothly working machine.
All 10 of the department heads and
ce-President Coolidge. invited in
pursuance of a policy announced our
ing the campaign, were present at the
meeting.
The war department announcement
concerning withdrawal of American
troops nom the Rhine was made by
Secretary Weeks, who would not dis
cuss the subject further than to say
that withdrawal was not now being
considered In reaching this decision
in regard to its temporary policy the
administration is understood TO have
taken into account all the elements
of the present situation in Western
Germany, where allied troops have
advanced to enforce the terms of the
Versailles treaty, while the American
forces remained behind on the lines
originally occupied by them under the
armistice agreement.
Although nothing definite has de-
veloped in other official quarters here
to indicate the probable permanent
policy of the new administration, it is
known that the situation now pre-
scented along the German border is re-
ceiving the close scrutiny of Mr..
Harding and his advisers.

First Letter TO PubIic-ReViews
Payments Government
Must Meet

Washington.-Se Mellon of
the treasury, in his first official state
ment, appealed TO the people gen
orally TO stand for rigid economy in
governmental expenditures and urged
the immediate establishment of a ma
tional budget system.
The new treasury secretary in his
letter discussed. at length the nation S
financial condition. declaring that the
showing made in the last eight
months had been particularly en-
couraging." There are. however, heavy
drains to come on the treasury this
month and next, he said. and these
require the flotation of more short
term certificates of Indebtedness, an
nouncement of which he made coinci-
dent with the letter to the bankers.
The nation cannot afford extraya-
gance," Mr.. Mellon asserted, and so
far as possible il must avoid entering
new fields of expenditures. Figures
on current operations of the govern
ment show that the country's finances
are sound, but that the situation calls
for the utmost economy.
The heavy requirements of the gov
eminent on account of necessary ex-
penditures, including interest and
sinking fund on the public debt and
the maturity of $500, 100000 in short
dated debt in the next two years or
thereabOuts make it imperative that
the greatest care and economy be ex-
ercised in matters affecting govern
ment expenditures.
The people generally must become
more interested in saving the govern
ment's money than in spending it.

tenn must be established aud the gov
ernment's expenses brought into re

Progress in the war debt must
