HARDING BUSINESS
SLOGAN REFLECTED
in new BILLSREADY
Committee Will See Pres.
ident on Means to
Eliminate Waste.

Announcement came YESTERDAY
that the Congressional joint COM
mittee on government reorganiza-
tion would consult President Hard
ing in the preparation of a bill for
doing away with slack and waste,
and that Senator Thomas Sterling,
of South Dakota, would introduce
the Civil Service Committees re-
classification bill. probably today.
The further announcement that
Senator Medil Mccormick. Of Illf-
nois. was ready to present his bill
for establishing the budget system,
greatly frightened the prospects of
business in government" Iegisla-
ton at the extra session which has
just begun.
May Consolidate Bills.
The movements are running par
allel and when the various bills
are in committees their consoIida-
tion is expected. The object is to
save many millions of dollars and
to improve the efficiency of the
government. The saving will
come about through reduction in
the number of employees by co-ordi-
mating bureaus and departments.
Salaries amounting to $4,000, 900
in the District and much more
revised by the Sterling measure,
s,L -
and Cqualizc the pay of employees
by grading them according to class
of work and merit.
smoot Prepares Data.
Senator Smoot and Representative
Rcavis are chairmen of the reor-
ganization committee which has
been working on plans to eliminate
unnecessary work. Senator Smoot
has prepared data on reclassifica-
tion which may be laid before Con-
Cress in the form of a bill revising
salaries. The bonus system would
be done away with by July l by
the passage of the 'Smoot reclassi-
fication bill.
1t has been the contention of Sem
ator Sterling that to the Senate
which he is chairman. belongs the
work of reclassification.
Mccormick Bill Coming Later.
The bill which he plans to intro
duce Is similar to that to be stimuli
taneously introduced in the House
by Representative Lehlbach. The
fact that three, and possibly four,
reclassification bills may be intro
duced does not mean that there will
be fight when the matter comes
before Congress: Senator Sterling
said last niAht, but merely that the
purposes of the separate movements
have not been co-ordinated in the
early stages.
Senator Mccormick announced
that his, budget bill would be ready
when the Senate routine is out Of
the way.

guilty in Covington of the murder
OF one OF the three of his negro

that their testimony might result
in Williams and his sons being sent
to the penitentiary. the lips of those
who might have given the needed
cyidesce were closed by death.

Jasper and Newton are adjacent
counties, separated by a river. On
the Newton side were found three

together and weighted in an effort
to prevent discovery of the crime
On the Jasper county side eight
bodies were disintefred weeks ago

Clever Trick

Golden sausages were used by relief
workers to carry money in parts Of
Asia Minor where bandits are at
work. One Of the best methods adopted
was the taking Of money from Con-
stantinople to the interior Of Anatolla
by extracting meat from a string Of
sausage and substituting gold. This
ruse succeeded because the robbers
are mostly Turks and have the Mos
lem adherence of the pig and its
products. The worker In charge Of
the golden sausages was held up sew
eral times, but the hidden gold was
never touched.
