CO-0PE RATE To
AVOID CONFLICTS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ASKS
THAT DATES OF FUNCTIONS
BE REPORTED TO OFFICE.

Early in the present year, the Alma
Chamber of Commerce asked that all
organizations in the city. when plan
ming functions, list their dates with
the secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce, so that there might be no con-
fiicts.
The need of listing dates for the
various entertainments and other
matters has recently been made ap-
parent by conflict in dates, which
was smoothed out only after some
little difficulty. Only in this way
can the various organizations of the
city hope to secure open dates for at
fractions that they may have, at
which they hope to have a large at
tendance.
The Chamber of Commerce head
quarters has the regular meeting
time of the various meetings of the
churches Of the city, and in addition
to this only two organizations of AL
ma have been consistently reporting
their dates to the Chamber of Com
merce, these being the Elks and the
Presbyterian Brotherhood.
The Alma Chamber of Commerce
can do considerable in this respect
for the organizations of the city, if
they will cooperate in the matter.
Such cooperation is certain to work
out for the best interests of all.

MAsTERLY ECONOMY

President HardinR'S accomplish
ments in the way of reducing govern
ment expenditure are beginning to
take shape in which the figures
speak for themselves. Critics of the
administration have been saying that
much of the reduction for which
credit has been given to Congress
was a reduction on paper only
meaning that cuts in the appropria-
ton bills would be offset later by de-
ficiency allowances. They would have
had to be offset this year to consid-
cradle extent, undoubtedly, but for
the Presidents determination to re-
strain the spenders.
The estimates for 1922 were
prepared by the Wilson administra
ton. There was no budget lay in
effect then, and spendthrifts like Mr..
Baker and Mr.. Daniels still had free
hand. Secretary Houston asked Con-
gress for appropriations totaling
So, 259 100000. Congress granted
much less, the appropriations made
amounting to little more than 49,
800,000,000.
But many hold-over obligations had
to be assumed by the Treasury along
with a few new obligations notably
a charge of $12O,0OO,0O0 for the bet
ter care of the disabled veterans.
Secretary Mellon reported on August
5 last that the expenditures for 1921
% would run as high as $4,554, 000,-
900.
At this point Mr. Harding and Gen
eral Dawes stepped in. They told
the department and bureau chiefs
that operating costs must be scaled
down. On August 10 it was announc-
ed that the government would find a
way to save $4,000, 900, bringing
the outlay for the year down to 81,
034,000,000. Sending in the defc-
iency estimates for 1922 last
Thursday the President announced
that a further saving of S94,000,O00
would be made, reducing the 1922
total to $3,94O, 100000. Since Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 100000 and
is now asked to grant deficiencies of
S1s7,OOO,OOO, expenditure for the
year will be within the appropra-
tions.
This is an extraordinary record in
For 1922 the gov
eminent will spend $1,319, 100000
less than Secretary Houston thought
it would be possible for it to get
along on.-New York Tribune.
